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. ]

	[~~Except you know they'd love every second of it~~] Or a bell. The low-tech solution would probably frustrate the heck out of him, knowing Richie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[~~That is true.~~] [That gets a laugh.] I bet. So missing partner aside, you having a good time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-22 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	So long as the lights stay on, I can safely say this is one of the best parties I've been to in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I never pegged you as the type to be afraid of the dark, Zatanna.

[He's teasing, knowing any possible concerns of hers are more about what the blackout was a prelude to the last time rather than the darkness itself.]

But I'd have to agree. [And his enjoyment of this party might have everything to do with who accompanied him. Speaking of which:] Have you seen Artemis' costume yet?

	notbabymagic 2013-10-25 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	I have, actually. [She was very amused. And a little flattered. But mostly amused.] What did you think about it? [...careful, Wally; there may be no right answer here?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-25 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	[Even he can see those potential traps you laid there, Zatanna. So he's going to give what he thinks is a diplomatic answer.] I think that she, uh, did a very good job of getting her costume to look like the real thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-25 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	[Not bad. But this was far from over.] So you think it's pretty accurate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-25 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Well there might be a few slight differences, but yeah, I'd say it's pretty accurate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-25 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	Good differences or bad differences? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-26 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	Well they're certainly not bad differences. [There's nothing wrong with admitting that, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-26 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	So you like her version better, is what you're saying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-26 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	[Blink. Blink.] Noooo, I don't think I said that. [Or did he? Maybe he should try to fix this just in case.] I mean, you can never really beat the original. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-27 01:08 pm UTC (link)
	Why, Wally, I never knew. [Having fun with this? You bet she is.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-27 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	And, uh, what exactly is it you never knew? [So confused here. How did he get so lost, so fast?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-27 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	[Because he doesn't know how to do things slowly?] I'm flattered, really, but you know Artemis would kill us both. Plus, there's got to be some sort of girlfriends code against this sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-27 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	[That earns a roll of his eyes. Of course she was just messing with him.] That's not what I meant and you know it. But we could always talk to Artemis and try to work something out if you wanted. [He winks at her, knowing she's aware he's being about as far from serious as one can be.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-27 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	Only if you promise I get to be there to watch you ask her that. [With popcorn.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-27 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	[Would he get any of the popcorn?] Sure. You can stand right in front of me. [Just in case there was any arrows fired his way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-27 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	[Nope. No popcorn for you. Not if you're going to put her in harm's way.] Front row seats. Awesome. Let's go find her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-10-28 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	[He makes a gesture with his hand for her to lead the way.] After you. [He thinks she's only joking about finding Artemis.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-28 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	[It's a joke, yes, but you underestimate how far she'd be willing to go for a good laugh.] [She'd caught Artemis earlier, and had a rough idea as to where the blonde "magician" was hanging out. So she immediately turned and started to head in that very direction.] [Coming, Wally?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Wait. Where is she going?]

Uh, Zatanna?

[...And she's gone. He stares at her retreating form for a moment and when it becomes clear she's not going to come back, he scrambles after her.]

You know on second thought, I'm not sure now is a good time for this. [So please stop before you get him to embarrass himself in front of his date? He already does enough of that without your help as it is.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-10-28 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	Are you sure? She seemed like she was in a pretty good mood earlier. If you ask me, that makes now as good a time as any. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2013-11-01 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	Well, yeah. But, you see, it's just that I really don't think this is something you should bring up on the first...date. [Meaning he'd really, really appreciate it if she kept her trolling to a minimum just for tonight.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-11-02 12:50 am UTC (link)
	[He said it.] [He said the thing.] [It was definitely enough to give him some time, as she immediately spun back around on her heels with a knowing grin on her face. Obviously pleased.] You have a point there. So which future date should we bring it up, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
