Evening 241 } Action } Open Mingle
[ As mentioned by the wardens yesterday, Eric is hosting a costume party. The Blood Shack is lit by candles for the evening (he remembers the last party he had being interrupted by a power outage) and a small buffet of sorts has been erected. It furnishes mostly hors d'oeuvre and finer foods, things that Caroline picked out as Eric hasn't a clue about human food.

There is blood on tap (naturally) as well as a full bar. Eric has made certain to include water, sodas, tea and various non-alcoholic drinks.

The jukebox is playing a variety of music, but patrons are always invited to pick out their own music. The dance floor has a disco ball and there's the ever present 'dancing' pole on stage if someone gets brave. Tables are scattered about as are sofas and chairs so that people have a choice where they sit.

Enjoy yourself, mix, mingle and admire everyone's costume and everyone is required to have a costume in order to be here. ]

[ooc: I've turned off replies so if you want Eric's attention please tag his thread. Mingle here, have fun and be merry? Everyone is invited, including and especially newbies. ]

	[She smiles over at Haruka before glancing around the room] Well, probably everyone is nice to know. Euphemia helps make sure all of the welcome baskets are out. My friend Miranda is also here. Zatanna is as well. She's the owner of Naiad's "boyfriend". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	it's light green :) actsmagnificent 2013-10-18 02:15 pm UTC (link)
	[ This last fact makes Haruka's eyebrows go up. She whistles. ] That kid's done well for herself. [ But a dance appears to be starting...after a fashion. A new song is playing. Haruka takes Michiru's hand. ] Shall we? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cute! Michiru will put it on her tomorrow to show off oceans_requiem 2013-10-18 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	Playmates is probably a better word, but they keep running off on their own to play. [A smile appears over her face as the song begins and Haruka takes her hand. She steps closer to close the distance between them and puts an arm around Haruka] Of course. I'd like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Haruka assumes a more traditional dance posture, as well. ] This way, mermaid. [ And she'll sweep Michiru onto the dance floor as if they were both in full formal attire instead of silly costumes. She's also leading, but doesn't really think anything of that - it's her default. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of course! oceans_requiem 2013-10-18 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. [Michiru smiles and dances with Haruka to the music. Her costume didn't limit her movements so much that she was still able to dance easily with her partner. And of course she defaulted to letting Haruka lead. That was just how they worked] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-18 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka loses herself in the rhythm of the dance for a while, lulled peacefully by Michiru's closeness, when she realizes this dance is a great opportunity. She lifts a hand to toy with Michiru's bangs. ] I've got a surprise for you. Close your eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-10-18 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	[She dances along with her smiling. It had been far too long and she was feeling more whole with Haruka being there, feeling her touch. It was almost like they were home... almost. As Haruka's hand brushes her bangs, she looks up] Okay. [And she closes her eyes] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ This is going to take some maneuvering. Haruka presses Michiru even closer with the one hand still occupied by the dance, cheek-to-cheek as her free hand fumbles in her pocket for the rings she'd purchased earlier. She manages to push one onto her own finger by shoving it back into her pocket, while the other....

...she gently slides onto Michiru's finger before taking her hand again. It's nothing extravagant, just a plain gold band with a tiny pearl, but the detail was enough to make the set stand out. ]

I'm sorry. I couldn't stop thinking about it. But we're together for good this time, and...

[ Oh, wait. ]

...you can open your eyes now.

[Michiru keeps dancing with her, staying close to her. As promised, she kept her eyes closed, though she was sorely tempted to peak and see what Haruka was doing. She'd only been her a few hours after all.

She could tell when the ring was slid on her finger, but she was good and didn't look... at least until Haruka told her to open her eyes. She opened her eyes and smiled seeing it]

Oh, Haruka, it's gorgeous! Thank you so much!

[And now for the hug]

[ Haruka chuckles, twirling so even their embrace gets incorporated into the dance. Her own finger now sports an identical ring. ]

Careful. The powers that be might get the wrong idea.

[ Says her mouth, while her eyes say everything from "you're welcome" to "sorry to be so maudlin" to "I'm just so glad we're together". And now that they're pressed this close, she has no intention of changing their position. ]

	[Michiru laughs as Haruka twirls her around] Oh I'm sure they'll be fine with a hug. They aren't that strict. [She can easily read the subtle hints in her eyes and it only makes her more happy. She didn't want this to change at least for the moment] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-20 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	How reassuring. [ She'll just stay like this, then, holding Michiru close and leading her through the dance, until the music fades and she's left swaying back and forth with her partner. She's reluctant to end this moment by leaving the dance floor... But the next thing queued is a pop-techno number - definitely not ballroom material. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-10-21 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	[Michiru really just wanted to stay with her as much as possible. Then the music changes. No that definitely wasn't good for their style of dancing] Well, I guess we will have to wait for something better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-21 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	You don't want to try it? [ Everyone mostly just seems to be jumping up and down. This is silly. And the idea of Michiru doing it is sillier. Haruka will put a guiding hand in the small of Michiru's back. Let's just. Exit classily. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-10-21 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	No, I'm not really up for this dance style. [It was silly. She'd much rather be doing classical dancing and this definitely wasn't it. She smiles and heads off the dance floor with Haruka. Sometimes, its best to know when to walk away] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-21 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	[ And for that, Haruka is extremely grateful. ] Suit yourself. [ Her arm stays around Michiru even once they've rejoined the minglers, though. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-10-22 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	[She chuckles] It's not yours either and you know it. [She was walking close to Haruka's side. Anyone seeing them together would probably have little doubt they were together] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-22 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka just chuckles in response. Her hand drifts down to Michiru's hip rests there like it was made for that position. Yep, definitely together. ] I've got depths even you haven't explored yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-10-22 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, do you? [She finds that hard to believe but she will play along] Well, you will have to show me sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-23 09:05 am UTC (link)
	Don't I show you everything? [ She rests her head against Michiru's, grinning as her breath tickles the other woman's forehead. She might actually be blowing on Michiru's bangs on purpose. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-10-24 07:14 am UTC (link)
	Well, I thought so, but it sounded like you were still hiding something from me. [She lets her head rest back against Haruka's, smiling faintly at the light breath on her forehead] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-10-24 11:48 am UTC (link)
	I'm extending the excitement. Don't tell me you were one of those kids who opened all her gifts at once on Christmas morning. [ So she says, with a proud little laugh, but she was one of those kids herself... ] It's getting stuffy. Does this place have a porch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-10-24 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	I was. I had no reason to want to save them for later. A porch? No, not really, but we can step outside for a few minutes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Don't mind her, she's just going to be amusing herself imagining baby Michiru in her Christmas best unwrapping one fancy present after another, yet meticulously folding all the paper and setting it aside. Just because they don't have to reuse paper in this house doesn't mean she should be messy, gosh.

Except it's also much nicer to spend time with grown-up Michiru in reality, so Haruka'll head for the door with her partner in tow. ]

Thanks. It'll be quick.

[ Not that she'll get fresh air here, technically speaking....but they do a fairly decent job of faking it from what she's seen thus far. ]

	[She'd be a little surprised to know Haruka was picturing her that young. Not that it really bothered her, but she'd still be surprised. And for the record, yes she probably did that] Sounds good. [And she walked with Haruka outside] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
