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. ]

	Not yet. No one's offered. I was beginning to think the cat ears weren't doing it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you want one? [He'll get it, along with his own.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-31 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. Nothing too strong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-01 12:01 am UTC (link)
	[He doesn't say it but his look and smirk do, you're not the only one repetitive because he's got a heavy air of 'I know what you like' going on. And he'll return with a glass of something in just a moment, a wineglass of his own in the other hand. Call it habit but he can't drink beer with a tie on.] Will my luck extend to a dance, or is that just pushing it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-01 12:06 am UTC (link)
	Can you keep your hands in appropriate places? [Kind of a blast from the past. Didn't she used to scold him about his hands when they were flirting early on?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-01 12:15 am UTC (link)
	[Wait, what, you're saying yes? The surprise is only there for an instant.] I'm a gentleman, aren't I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-01 12:19 am UTC (link)
	[She's saying yes. It's not going to end like their dance at prom though. No beach fun. Not unless it's with a different partner. She goes home with the one who brought her this time. Every time. But she trusts herself with that now, so what's the harm?] I've heard that rumor. [She takes a sip of the drink and sets it down, stepping closer to the dance floor.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-01 12:41 am UTC (link)
	[Notice he's still a little caught off balance, taking a drink from his glass like he can't believe his luck. Because he can't. For all the times he's asked her in recent weeks, this is the first time... well, that she's agreed. He follows, wine half-drunk and set aside. On the floor he'll offer her his hand.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-01 12:49 am UTC (link)
	[She'll let him have it and the moment she does there are a few doubts. Is Reid watching? She wants to look around for him, but she doesn't. If he is seeing it he'll trust her. She'll just...trust that.] Still remember the moves? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, please. [With that, he just tugs her forward.

Not wholly against him but close, they've danced closer and to be honest, this is just how he likes to move. His other hand will find her hip hopefully without complaint, and like the gentleman he claims to be it'll sit there. (For now, at least.) It's like yesterday that he shifts them into movement, leading with a step.

He wonders if she's thinking of Reid, but she hasn't spared a glance.] Do you?

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-07 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	[She postpones her complaint for now, but her body tenses a little, not entirely comfortable being this close to him anymore. Still, she responds to his direction and moves along with him.] They're coming back. Some of them. [Some are off the table, or the dance floor in this case.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-09 12:42 am UTC (link)
	[He's amused, evident by the expression on the face and the laughter on his breath but not quite there.] You move the same. [Just commentary, following the way they move with ease. Something is nagging at him, but he doesn't want to pay attention to it.] Just like before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-09 01:41 am UTC (link)
	They don't change dancing that quickly. You might be stuck with this for awhile. [Is that the promise of more dances to come if he behaves?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-09 01:43 am UTC (link)
	[Heh.] I suppose I could live with that. [But will you twirl for him? Go on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-09 01:30 pm UTC (link)
	[She's not dead. She'll still twirl! She'll even smile about it.] Not bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-09 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	I remember how you like to dance. [He hasn't forgotten so soon either. Once that twirl's complete he pulls her back in, out of habit. A little closer than before, but it's only to pick up the pace of the steps. When his head tilts in to brush his jaw against hers he's not aware of it until he's that close. More things out of habit.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-12 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	[And that brush is the last thing he's going to feel from her for a moment at least because a very phased Kitty pulls back.] A few things have changed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-12 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	[He's got a strange expression, let him wear it for a second.] Wait. Come here again. [Not wanting, not flirting, just plainly asking once she's slipped out of his grip.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-12 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	[She's not entirely sure what to make of that expression. Has she seen it before on him? Wordlessly, she steps back in to continue their dance. Again, she forces herself not to look around for Reid. This is fine. She isn't doing anything wrong and she doesn't need to draw Tyki's attention to him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Maybe, once. In a more human moment of his.

He draws her back into the dance, picking up where they left off. Including placing their heads nearly together, jaw to jaw with his mouth close to the shell of her ear.

In these few seconds he stares past her shoulder, and then dips his eyes down to it, a laugh beneath his breath.] I thought about what this moment would be like again.

It's not the same at all, is it? [Calm, maybe a little relieved, if not amused.]

	[She's still not entirely comfortable with how close he is, but this time she remains solid at least for now.] It's never going to be exactly the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-18 12:38 am UTC (link)
	Mm. [Still strongly leading her in the steps, just out of habit. His mind is still briefly elsewhere.] I knew that. But it feels different. [It's hard to explain.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-11-27 05:32 am UTC (link)
	Different how? [Looking at him curiously.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-11-29 07:26 am UTC (link)
	[He carries her through a few more steps.] I expected more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, I can still dance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
