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.]

	[She slowly gives him a look, which in itself should be telling enough. She's lost enough people before, especially ones she's cared about. Smile subdued, her voice is a little softer.] Of course I have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That's all he needed to hear. His wine is gone in a long sip and he leans over to tilt her chin just right for a good kiss, one that he reserves for good women who he had to leave behind because of things being how they are. It can't fix everything, but it usually goes a long way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Kiss is reciprocated. But more importantly, there is hugging. Tight, tight hugging.] Who else is going to get the wine down from the top cabinet for me? [Murmured, she'll let go in a second.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He probably would have missed her too, if he had a chance to.] That's why I kept the good stuff up there. [He pries her off so he can stand up and lift his eyebrow, indicating she should tell him whether they're headed to her place or the clothing store.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rude. [She peels off with a bright grin that may not have been there a moment ago.] C'mon. I know just what I wanna see you in. [And out of.] I can grab it on the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He needs both hands to light up a cigarette, but then slings an arm over her shoulders as they go.] Don't make me regret this. [That may be a warning against anything that will offend his sensibilities too drastically.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[One of her arms wraps around his waist, the other's hand clasps gently over his draping wrist.] Yeah, yeah, you won't.

[Because when she is done with you Cross, behind the shut doors of her (a little messier than before) apartment you will be the pinnacle of indie rock fashion. A lot of angular edges, splashes of red and a subtle plaid along with knee-holed jeans and a rather uniquely cropped jacket with sleek, modern feel. The more layers she adds on him the more her eyes light up, a few finishing touches that include a lazy swept back ponytail and a feather earring put in place before she steps away.

Her attraction to him before wasn't too overt, shaded more by her simple joy of him being back. But now it's rather blatant from her stance to the way she's eying him up and down, committing this to memory and yes, wetting her lips.

Your bones are so about to be jumped.]

Warning, this will probably get NSFW very fast!

[Honestly, she could have done worse. He expected worse. But since he's the one who did the leaving, and she's so damn much fun when she's enthusiastic, he lets her do her thing.]

[That look on her face brings out his smirk at last. Yes, that's what he was looking for. He steps forward and wastes no time tugging her close.] Does this, [He nods at her red bracelet] mean I have to restrain myself? [Because he doesn't want to. At all.]

[She grips the lapel of the jacket tightly, keeping him close while she tilts back her head to properly look at him. Her eyes are not unlike a cat's, ready and training on a target but he distracts her from hoisting herself up against him by reminding her that she downgraded her bracelet. Arms snaking up his chest beneath the jacket and around his neck, she lets her eyes linger on the red band with gently knitted brows. It was only a matter of days, too.]

I don't know. [She says at first, though it's evident it's something she's struggling to think over. Punishment's a stupid thing to dive into headfirst, though since she'd talked with Jack recently she'd learned how the rules had turned around. It's less restrictive, and with points it's easily bumped back up. Truth be told she's not really in a mood to care about rules, and on a good day she's always been fond of a little rebellion.

Pushing that jacket slowly off his shoulders, standing on tip toe, she glances back up at him.] I'm kind of tired of being cockblocked.

	[He all too happily shrugs the hideous thing off, his eye roaming over her face and then lower, humming pleasantly.] I wouldn't want you stuck like I was. [Does he want to get laid? Sure. Does he want to leave her without the ability to touch anyone? Hell no.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[There are plenty more layers for her to systematically remove, but for the time being her fingertips meet together behind his neck.] It's different now, I spoke to a guy... [She says, still thoughtful.] It only blocks contact at elevated life signs, and I can level back up with rehab points. [Otherwise she wouldn't even entertain the thought.] I've had worse.

	[He smiles, slow and surprisingly soft. And then he cups her cheek. He's not used to caring, but it's not entirely foreign to him.] Then why are you not kissing me yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She just gives him a shrewd look, pulling him down by the back of the head so she can do just that. One hand will slip down between them, back to removing layers with a smoothing touch that's just as appreciative as it is productive. She thought to hold him close by the chain of his rosary when she notices he's not wearing it, eyes flickering down between parted lips after her thumb snags nothing and so she keeps her hand around the back of his neck.

Whatever. Plenty of other belt hoops, belts and long hair to get a grip of instead.]
