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.]

[If it wasn't enough to wake up in that ugly-ass orange abomination made of the worst quality cloth ever, Cross can't seem to get ten seconds without Timcanpy pestering him. So he was gone for a while, evidently. That's no excuse for getting between Cross and a glass of red.]

[Hair pulled back and a plain but elegant white collared shirt on (it was the best he could find in a hurry, lousy inventory this shithole has), Cross marches into the Blood Shack like he owns the place and flops into a stool. Before he finds Tyki Mikk and makes him pay dearly for any indiscretions while Cross was away, there needs to be wine and smokes.]

[Guess who? Your favorite person, right?

Well it's a Blood Shack and where else do you think Socalo's going to be.]

The Walker brat's not around either. [Sounds disappointed.]

So go whine at someone who cares. [Cross is nearly snarling now, because thanks he needed the reminder that Allen's still nowhere to be found.]

[It takes her a while to get to the Blood Shack. At first she was just at home skimming over the unusual excess of newbie-posts on a day that wasn't designated for it. Then she put two and two together, remembering the last day people popped in when they weren't supposed to. So she paid more attention, flipping through posts with a critical eye but hadn't yet heard from anyone familiar. So she decided to go stake out the hotspots while she continued to comb through the surplus of network postings before maybe going in for a shift at HQ.

Channeling some serious nineties grunge, she doesn't notice him at first. But once she's in the door she's on her way to the bar, catching a glimpse of red hair and momentarily stopping in her tracks. It hits her in an unexpectedly gutting way, not unlike Clay's arrival had before. Seems she gets attached to dead men pretty easily. Why are all her friends dead. It's not fair.

She continues towards the bar, bee-lining for the spot next to him. Elbows on the surface, she just cocks her head to the side to look at him. As exciting as it is to see him, and how hard her heart's beating, she can't get her hopes up too soon.]


Hey there, stranger.

[He can't say he's surprised to see her. Perceptive woman, she is. It's why he likes her, and why he doesn't automatically shoo her away with the hand that's not holding his wine glass.]

That long, huh. [Long enough that he's a stranger now. And that her bracelet is red again. Idly, he wonders if she's screwing anyone interesting.]

[Her quirking grin melts into a wider smile, and you wouldn't be wrong to note a tinge of relief in her eyes. She wouldn't have been crushed if he didn't remember her, but it would've been... different. And she's relieved that's not a bridge she has to cross today when there are so many people popping in and out.

She orders a drink, bottle of beer to counter the glass of red he's holding.]
Two weeks can feel like ages.

You missed out on Christmas.

That answers my question of whether you've got a worthwhile bedmate. [Two weeks would seem much shorter if there were orgasms involved.]

Did you save me a present? [It better not be anything plaid or neon. He's warning you, woman.]

[She gives her wrist a flickering glance (recalling it's red but) carrying on all the same.

With a snort, she takes a swig of beer.]
Nah, you missed out on red lace and wine in bed. Pity, too. I was tipsy and I get adventurous when I'm tipsy.

[He grins at the description. She damn well knows how he feels about lace.] I'll talk you back into it. [And then out of it.]

[She hadn't been sure whether she should take the open invitation or not, since the Blood Shack did rather unnerve her just a bit, but it was so politely given. And who knew who she would meet there? Some of her friends could have arrived for the day.

Seeing Cross only made her know it was the right choice.]


General!

Can I bum a light?

[The voice belongs to a fairly attractive man with facial piercings, tattoos, no shirt and an unlit cigarette hanging off his lips. How do you feel about other red-heads?]

[He doesn't much care about the color so long as their grooming is up to standards. And since Axis was just recently given a forced bath in the koi pond, Cross' obvious appraisal finds no immediate reason to tell the guy to fuck off.]

[Besides, he has a thing for piercings now. Dammit Rebecca. So out comes the lighter which he slides to him on the wood of the bar.]

[He's fairly well groomed for being dipped in the Koi Pond. He might have taken a dunk in the hot springs before coming out to the bars. Aside from his feet and ashtray breath he's fairly well kept on a regular basis. Though seeing as the other guys a smoker he probably won't mind.

However, when the lighter is slid his way he pauses, looking at it, back to Cross and then picking the thing up to try and figure out what the fuck he's supposed to do with it.

What's this thing? [Their society uses matches still Cross what is this new-fangled contraption you just gave him?]

[Cross hadn't seen a lighter before coming here either, so he has a shocking amount of sympathy, which is to say a tiny little bit. Enough to shrug, reach over and pick up the lighter and flick the tiny flame to life.]

Better than matches. [That's what it is.]

[He lets the man show him how it's done. Raising his brows slightly and taking it with curiosity. He tries and fails the first few flicks, managing a spark and some frustration. Eventually he gets it, the flame goes out but with a second flick he keeps it lit.

He angles the cigarette expertly with his lips and lights up, puffing and breathing it in deep. Releasing the flame and sighing out smoke with a relieved hum.

He'll toss that lighter back.
]

Thanks man. [Trying not to stare too much at that half mask.]

Can I buy you a drink?

[Stare all you like. He knows he's hot. Cross catches the lighter without looking and tucks it into his pocket.]

[He does chuckle at the question. Newbie, huh.]
They're free. [But...] I drink good red.
