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.]

[The first place that Rose heads to once she enters the establishment is the bar itself, knowing that Spike was going to be working today. After a little while she can be found mingling around the room, looking for anyone she knew as well as those she didn't.

She's in a good mood and very approachable so come say hello.

[ and enter in Dean who does an immediate full stop and frowns once he sees Rose mingling in the crowd. If memory serves right, he never did figure out she wasn't the Bela he once knew. Still doesn't stop him from picking a fight though. ]

Still trying to schmooze every newbie in the joint are you? [ he snorted ] I should've known you'd still be up to your old tricks.

You still think I'm that Bela person, don't you? [consider her not impressed at all, Dean.] Your brother is able to tell the difference so maybe you could try.

[her tone is very even, unwilling to start something with him. it could get quite ugly.]

[ Dean frowned ]

Yeah, well. Sam's easily duped. I still haven't exactly seen anything that proves that you ain't who I think you are.

[ sorry, sorry. Dean just hates being burned. ]

Contrary to what you believe, Sam hasn't been duped. He made up his own mind about who I am and he believes me.

[ she could just show him her vampire face and that would give him a pretty big clue.]

[ or Dean would just think the hell hounds got to her. It's just about the kind of thing he'd expect to see just before they get him. ]

All right, then why don't you just explain to me who you really are. If you ain't Bela, you're just about the spitting image of her.

[ and then he just stood there, arms crossed and waiting. Because he still ain't trusting you no matter how stupid it makes him look. ]

My name is Rose and I don't know if you've heard of Mystic Falls but there are several people from there that can vouch for me.

Not forgetting the existence of doppelgangers as well. Perhaps you have heard of them? [This really was frustrating for her.]

You'd think that if I was this Bela person, I'd be throwing a few jibes your way. I have nothing against you Dean.

[ but it's just so hard to let go ]

Mystic Falls, huh?

[ he glanced at her and then rubbed his jaw, looking around the place as though expecting confirmation to pop up out of nowhere. ]

Okay, sure. I'll believe you for now, but I may have to check up on your sources. [ he nodded back to the bar ] I don't suppose I could buy you a drink to make up for it?

[ it's lame humor, but considering everything else in this place, it ain't like there's much Dean can do to make it up to here. Heck, he can't even offer to change her oil. ]

Go ahead and check them.

[ If it got him off her back about the whole affair, then Rose was fine with Dean checking it out. ]

A drink sounds good. I'll have a scotch. Straight up, no ice.

[Yep, she's a fan of the hard stuff. Even more so since she met up with a Damon Salvatore back in Mystic Falls. He seemed to have an endless supply of the stuff.]

[ he raised an eyebrow ]

Now I know you ain't Bela. That woman stuck to the wine like a glove to a heifer. You don't mind if I have the same, do you?

[ his down fall was Rufus. He's never looked back since that fateful day. An irony, considering it was Bela that sent him there to meet the old coot. ]

[ a roll of her shoulders. ]

No, I don't mind. You can drink what you what as far as I am concerned.

[ but she could appreciate someone with a similar taste to hers. ]

Did you encounter her often?

[Her unexpected friendship with Spike leads Garcia to pop in here every so often. Friendly and chatty as she is it was only a matter of time before she met the woman Spike goes on about, even though she doesn't know who Rose is to Spike yet.]

Nice place, huh? Not where I would have expected to be comfy hanging out [since she figures it's plainly obvious that she's 100% plain only human] but it's got a definite thing going.

[Rose turns around at the sound of a voice. Definitely familiar to her- at least from the network addresses- but she had never spoken to the other woman before.

That being said, she did look quite friendly and had a bubbly personality so Rose wasn't going to turn her away. She's one of the nicer vampires.
]

It's fun, yeah. Unique. Not like anywhere I've been to back home. [A smile.] We've never met before but I've seen you around on the network. I'm Rose.

Me neither! [Garcia has a glass of red wine -- plain, normal, non-blood red -- in her hand which she waves around a little as she talks.] But then I never thought I'd have an actual vampire as a buddy. Spike's the reason I first ventured in here but the atmosphere really turned out to be nice.

I'm Penelope. Nice to meet you! [She sticks out her non-wine hand. Spike never told her Rose's name, or there might be happy gushing right now!]

Nice to meet you too, Penelope. [Rose takes her offered hand and shakes it politely. The other woman might feel a slight coolness to Rose's skin but it's not incredibly noticeable.]

You're friends with Spike? [See how she perks up at the mention of his name?] I actually came into this place before I met him but it's really welcoming here. For both humans and non-humans.

Sure am! We bonded over love of punk music. Too bad the stinking Wardens would only let me give him one album as a fake-Christmas gift, or this place would be headbang central by now.

[Sorry, she rambles.] Yeah, it's a sweet gig. I'm duly impressed. And not really surprised Spike knows a knockout like you.

He's really into his punk music. [She laughs lightly.] I'm glad that he has someone who shares that interest with him. Spike has yet to fully convert me to it.

[Rose laughs again.]

Aren't you sweet? We're actually seeing each other. [She shows her the blue wristband.] Decided to do things properly and be blue banded.

Yeah? You're the girlfriend he goes on about? [Garcia's grin gets even bigger, if possible.] Wow, small dome! I'm really even more glad to meet you, then. I pestered him to introduce us, but I guess he hadn't gotten there, yet.

Guilty as charged. [Funny, considering the fact that she was in a prison.] I hope Spike has been saying good things about me.

Well, at least we've met each other now, right? I'll have to tell him that we did; I'm sure he will be happy.

Good things, are you kidding? The man sings your praises to the high heavens. I half expected you to be glowing from sheer amazingness. And hey, I can't say I don't see where he's coming from. [Garcia tends to like people right away as a rule, but Rose does seem especially nice. She likes nice!]

But, y'know, I'd be more than happy to hear more about you from the horse's mouth, if you know what I mean. I only rely on gossip when absolutely necessary. Or it's really, really interesting.

Is that so? I will have to thank him somehow for being so kind about me. [How she would thank Spike is left unsaid because it was better that way.] You're sweet for saying so, Penelope. Thank you.

[He's got a good choice in friends and Rose is getting the distinct impression that the other woman is one of the good ones.]

As it happens, I much prefer to tell someone about myself and in person; so go ahead and ask some questions. Or I can just tell you about me.

No prob! I tell it like I see it, probably because I can't lie to save my life. [As if that wasn't obvious. Garcia is a typical heart-on-her-sleeve type.]

Let's see... now I'm feeling pressure to be unique rather than all "so what's your sign?". How about what you're passionate about? That's as good a place as any, and only moderately cliche.

I can handle moderately cliche. [Rose says with a laugh, trying to think of something to reply with. Vampires were typically passionate about blood and everything that came with it but she was different.]

Reading. I love books but it's been some time since I've read a really good one admittedly.

Yeah? I guess you must like this super-gigantic library we've got in here. I keep meaning to read up on crazy alien stuff just for giggles.

But really, what kinda things do you read? I'm a lot into sci-fi and all that geeky stuff... which isn't why I make friends with vampires or anything. You guys just happen to be nice and fun. Imagine my surprise.

It is incredible, yeah. But I need to take a proper look again when I get a chance. You should take a look at the alien themed books; it might prepare you if we get any aliens here. Which we probably already have now that I think about it.

I like the classics. Like Dickens and Bronte. Even if I was around at the time they were written and before that. Crime novels have held my interest but I wouldn't say they'd be the first book I'd reach for. [A beat.] Glad to hear that you've had a good experience with vampires because we're not all nice and friendly, I guarantee you.
