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's almost embarrassed to admit who she's supposed to be, and glances down at her dress, then back up at Martha.] A modern take on Snow White. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Martha smiles.] Well it's absolutely beautiful. Did you come with a Prince Charming? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-10-25 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Anna smiles, too, though it's a little more faint than Martha's.] No. No Prince Charming. [And she's not really sure she'll ever see or talk to her Prince Charming again.] What about you? Are you here with anyone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-10-26 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	No! No, my Prince Charming doesn't seem to exist. [Martha keeps a smile on her face as she says it. She still regrets everything that happened. Still, she can't keep herself from glancing over at Sam.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-10-26 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	[And when she glances away, toward a tall man with brown hair, Anna follows her gaze. He's cute. And obviously someone Martha has history with. Or wants to have a future with. Or possibly both. Sometimes it's hard to tell.] Why don't you go say hi? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-10-27 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	[Martha looks surprised. And maybe a tiny bit ashamed.] Am I that obvious? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-10-27 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	[If there is one quality that Anna possesses, it's perceptiveness.] No, not at all. Not really, anyway. [She hesitates.] I just pay close attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-10-27 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	Well that's a relief. I thought I'd lost all bit of subtlety for a moment there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-10-27 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	I think you're fine there. It was a very subtle look, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-10-28 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	[Martha sighs in relief.] I'll say hi to him later. And if not tonight, we'll meet in the library tomorrow. Like usual. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-10-28 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	[Anna cocks her head to the side.] Both big readers? [Truthfully Anna hasn't ventured out much since she'd been here, but she had been meaning to find the library.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-10-28 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	I'm studying. I figured if I'm stuck here, I can at least study to get licensed in something other than trauma. He teaches a class. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh. [Right. She'd forgotten about the school pamphlet in her welcome basket. She'd been to school so many times that she hadn't even looked at it, really. It wasn't like she had some great future ahead of her. Or any future at all, for that matter.]

What are you studying then? [She assumes Martha is a doctor given what she said. Or maybe a nurse or a surgeon. Definitely in the medical field.]

	[Martha's smile widens as she starts talking about the topic. This is a woman who clearly has found the proper career for her life.] Right now mainly brain chemistry and neurology. But I might start branching off into pathology. I have time, and it's all so fascinating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-10-30 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	[Anna smiles a little at Martha's enthusiasm for her profession.] How long have you been a doctor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-10-31 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	It's been two years now that I've been licensed. What about you? [The question was somewhat clumsy. Martha meant what do you do, not how long have you been a doctor.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-11-02 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	[Anna knows what she means, but she hesitates because it isn't a question she'd prepared an answer for.] Back home I was...kind of dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-11-03 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	[It takes a second for the words to really sink in. There's a moment where Martha's brow furrows as she hears it. Finally she looks at the girl.] And the wardens brought you back from death? [That seemed rather... stupid... and horrific.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-11-03 01:34 pm UTC (link)
	[She hesitates again, then shakes her head.] Not exactly? I was trapped on the Other Side. It's a sort of -- I was a ghost? But there was a spell back home that made me corporeal again. Before the spell could be reversed, I ended up here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-11-03 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh... [Give her a moment.] I don't know which is more disturbing. The fact that there are ghosts in your world, or the fact that the wardens would take you from after death and still bring you to this prison... (Reply to this) (Parent)
