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. ]

	[ Eric's eyebrows raise, both at the description of Reavers and Mal's question. ] Once upon a time, I knew men like that. We called them monsters. [ Vampires, savages. Really there wasn't any difference. ] A tribe of people that existed a thousand years ago. We were explorers, conquerers. [ Yes, he said we.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Reavers... monsters... s'all one in the same.

[Mal cocks his head in mild confusion when Eric mentions Vikings as explorers and conquerers.]

But... That ain't how the history teaches it. Those that lived on Earth-that-was was all settled. That's why y'all had to leave. You used up the Earth. S'why we're out among the stars now.

[The simple confusion of Mal coming from 2517 while Eric is talking about a time he's never even thought of. And his education wasn't always perfect...]

	[ He nods. That's good to know he supposes. ] Perhaps not. Earth was not always...[ He pauses, mulling over the things Mal is saying. ] What year are you from? [ That would help. Though he knows even in his day history leaves out many things. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2517. You? [He's rather curious as to when this man lived. Vikings sound like people Mal could possibly like... He just doesn't know why he's never heard of them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2013. I think I understand where the disconnect is coming from. I've been around an exceedingly long time and history books, the things the public is taught, have changed a great deal. Thing have been edited, replaced and entirely left out in some cases. I can only imagine that trend continues into your time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It don't help only those that can afford it get any sort'o proper schoolin'. Not that I woulda done well in a school. My education was much better. But history weren't always top priority. (Reply to this) (Parent)
