Day 241 | Video | Action--Open Mingle
[There is a very tall, pale, blonde man on the screen. He's wearing dark clothes and his blonde hair is slicked back. He gives the camera a charming smile. ]

I understand we're to be inundated with visitors today. I also understand that a sudden arrival here can be a disconcerting and that often requires a drink. I invite everyone to come have a drink at the Blood Shack in sector four. We've got a wide variety of drinks, both ordinary and unusual.

Come spend your day with us at the Blood Shack. We'd be delighted to have you.

[ The video clicks off.

Those that decide to take Eric up on his invitation, will find the Blood Shack up and running. During the day, a few bots can be found doing some of the mundane things like delivering drinks to tables, but during the evening Eric will be behind the bar and the presence of bots is reduced. The bar itself is dimly lit with small tables and booths places about. There's a dance floor and a stage with a pole at one end. The other end of the stage is occupied by what can only be called a throne, which Eric occupies when Spike is behind the bar. There is also a jukebox that customers can play. ]

[ooc: feel free to use this as an open mingle. I've turned off comments so if you want to speak directly to Eric, comment there.]

[ liz doesn't usually spend much time around the blood shack, but with all of the new people arriving suddenly, she's decided that maybe keeping an eye on how everything and everyone is settling would be a good idea. her patrol is going to take her by the blood shack and anyone watching better believe she's going to keep an eye on the ones ordering the "bloody" specials.

she's very obviously looking around, but approachable for those with the inclination. ]

[Eric recognizes Caroline's mother from the video and moves around from behind the bar to say hello properly. He's also watching her and the way she's watching the vampires in the room. That's interesting. ]

Liz, a pleasure to finally meet you in person.

[ comes from being raised to hate them. not that she still hates them, but it's hard to shake off a lifetime of prejudice. she watches eric and gives him a tight-lipped smile and a firm nod, the liz forbes form of greeting someone. ]

The same to you, Eric. Nice place you have here.

Thank you. It's much like the club I run at home with the exception of the name. [ He couldn't bring himself to name the place Fangtasia, because there is only one Fangtasia and this isn't it so he'd left the name the bar had come with.]

Can I get you something to drink?

What was the name of that one?

[ she considers his question for a moment. ]

I feel like I'm on duty. Drinking on the job would make me a terrible role model. [ but she smiles in amusement at the idea. ] Surprise me. Something non-alcoholic, please.

[ TAKE THIS AND RUN WITH IT. she doesn't often give up control of her life. ]

Fangtasia. [Which probably gives Liz plenty clue about what Eric is.

He grins at her and slips off a little too quickly, too gracefully to make her drink. When he returns he has something pink and fizzy with chunks of strawberries and mint in it. He's added a paper umbrella and a sugar rim. He holds it out to her.]


Not an ounce of alcohol.

[ it does and she looks at him now with a mixture of curiosity and something else... she's trying to squash it, though, and not judge someone just because they're something they may or may not have asked for.

so for now she just waits for him to return with her drink, taking note of how he moves and the fact that he doesn't seem to care that she might suspect him of being a something other than human. she takes the drink when he offers it and lifts to sip. ]


It's just as nice as the rest. [ she eyes him for a moment longer. ] Vampire-tasia?

[ a blunt question about the vampire population both here and in his world. ]

[ in his world, in his bar, 'tourists' pay good money to see vampires move like vampires. ]

Something like that. A place where vampires and humans can mingle in safety. The tourists like to gawk and the vampires like a place where they can be themselves.

That's... certainly unique. I don't think that would go over well in my hometown.

[ mystic falls would turn over. the council would be in an uproar--

oh wait.

that happened once and that went splendidly. ]

No. I don't believe so. I understand from Caroline that vampires are still 'in the coffin' so to speak.

[ her eyes flick to him at that and narrow just slightly. ]

To most of the town. Not to all of us, but even the ones who know can be fooled.

[ yeah the council had the wool pulled over their eyes by damon and stefan for the longest time. even caroline had managed it. disgraceful and probably for the best. the people of the town didn't need that. ]

It's a risky thing to reveal. Human beings, as a whole, don't accept those that are different from them very well.

No. They don't.

[ she eyes him again. he knows about caroline, clearly, but does he know about the council, the original vampire family, the vampire hunters? how much does he actually know? ]

It's worse when you've been raised to hate them.

[ take that as you will, eric. ]

[Stefan slides up beside her quietly as she's vampire-watching, leaning forward a bit so that he can speak quietly and she'll still easily pick up his words.]

If there are any ones to worry about, they probably wouldn't be here, you know.

[ she barely spares him a glance, knowing exactly what he's talking about. her reply is just as soft, barely above a murmur, but she knows his vampire hearing will pick up on it easily. ]

You know what they say. Old habits die hard.

[Funnily enough, the only vampire attack he'd heard of had been...him, when he got a whiff of a certain fairy's blood.]

It's pretty easy to keep the vampires happy when there's several kinds of blood on tap and a crazy AI doing the Big Brother thing. But yeah, I get it.

[ funny how the irony works within mystic falls residents. ]

I guess it would be. [ she sighs and lifts a hand to rub her temple. ] It's been a part of my life for so long. If it's not vampires, it's something else the town needs protection from.

[ aka she's trying to be the town protector here, too. it gives her something to do and focus on. ]

There's an inmate-run defense force, if you're interested. I'm sure they'd like someone with as much experience as you have.

[And then she could keep an eye on Elena, if she continued to work there.]

If you can get enough players, it might not be a bad idea. Know anyone who might pull double duty?
