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.]

He gives her a sympathetic glance. "It must have been hard, having something like that happen to your daughter, especially when your line of work involves trying to prevent such things."

He swallows slightly, trying not to think how much that applies to himself too, and thinks instead that at least, this way round, she won't end up with a daughter who looks older than she does, like him.

Which isn't something he can say to her either, so he gives up on that tack and returns to the subject of Rebekah.

"It might be a good opportunity to speak to Rebekah, while you're here. Neutral ground and all that. Good chance to get to know people you wouldn't normally have the chance to?"

Liz just studies him for a moment, only offering a nod at the return to the topic of Rebekah. She's curious, wants to know what he knows without giving away too much.

"What do you know about Caroline?"

It's a simple question, harmless enough, but if Jack knows what he's implying, she may as well find out so she can stop pretending. It might be nice to be able to talk a little more freely.

He stays calm as she studies him, waiting for her to ask what she's going to ask.

"Not an awful lot," he admits easily, spreading his hands slightly. He has only spoken to her the once, after all, but he's also spoken to other people who know her, and he does tend to keep track of the messages on the network too. "Just that she got turned, and that it's still fairly recent."

And then he waits again, for her response.

Liz nods and crosses her arms over her chest. "The one thing I was trying to protect her from." A huge admission from someone like Liz. She knows about vampires, had known longer than most people in Mystic Falls, was a human sheriff who had protected people against vampires, and she knows what her daughter now is. She's also not about to let anything happen to Caroline now. The first person to hurt Caroline will have to deal with Liz.

	It's obvious that this is hard for her to share, and he feels he should make some disclosures of his own, to meet her halfway. "I know how that feels," he says tentatively. "When you can't save the ones you love, even though you've dedicated your life to the task of just that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nods, feeling suddenly that they have a lot more in common than either of them originally thought. "But you still have to keep trying, even if you don't know how." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	“Yep.” Though there’s a shadow there at the back of his eyes as he follows the thought through to where he did eventually give up. “Until it just gets too much, at least. Sometimes, there comes a point where you just can’t take the responsibility any more. Where, somehow, it’s easier just to give it up and let the bad things happen.” (Reply to this) (Parent)
