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 is dressed like this. HIs hair is growing longer and he's slicked it back rather messily. He's sporting more stubble than usual and he's got a blond, fake beard hanging around his neck that he clearly grew tired of wearing within the first seconds of the costume. He's also got a crown on his head that's been fashioned from gold foil to look a bit like this one. He's also wearing a fake sword at his hip. He can be found circulating the room, working behind the bar or sitting on the throne that occupies one corner of the stage.

Come say hi.]

[ sometime during the event, liz turns up, looking more than a little uncomfortable in her get-up. it would be an accurate guess to say she didn't choose this outfit, but it was definitely better than the alternatives. she may or may not be trying to hide, too.

she does, however, make her way up to eric wherever he ends up being and gives him a very tight but genuine smile. ]


Got any more surprises up your sleeve? [ drinks, she means, but anything else counts. ]

[ Eric smirks a little when he sees Liz coming. It's almost a smile from him. He takes in her costume and nods a bit. ]

I believe I've got something that might make I Dream of Jeannie a little more tolerable. [ He whips up a pomegranate martini that might have a bit more of a kick than the last drink he made her. He figures she needs it tonight. ]

You wear it very well though.

[ smile, half-smile, whatever it is, liz will take it as a positive reaction. she raises her eyebrows at the drink, but smiles all the same and takes a sip. it does have more of a kick than she was expecting. she doesn't mind it, though. definitely what she needed at the moment. ]

Guess who helped me pick it out?

I'm guessing Caroline has something to do with the outfit and the fact that you're here.

Yes and mostly. I figured she'd ask me to go and if I went I could see how you're doing.

[ she'll never admit she likes his company. nope. ]

Besides, somebody's gotta be here to police the humans.

[ completely teasing, but it's a throwback to their last conversation. ]

Jack's not the kind to come up to Eric while he's playing king sitting on his throne, but he's perfectly happy to amble up whilst Eric's playing the genial host wandering about amongst his guests.

He quirks an eyebrow at the beard hanging around Eric's neck. "You know, I always thought the Vikings wore their beards attached to their faces, but you're really bringing something new to the look there."

It's one reason he plays king sitting on his throne. So few people will approach him like that. It allows him to over see what's going on without the pressure of playing genial host. However, when Jack approaches, it's not an intrusion. He's in the mood to be social.

He smirks and tilts his head to the side in a sort of shrug. "I've been working on my own sort of beard, It just hasn't achieved the necessary imagery yet." He rubs a hand across his stubble.

Jack gives the stubble an appraising look, and then cocks his head. "You know, it's not the kind of thing I lie in bed at night wondering about, but how the hell does an undead creature grow hair???"

((OOC: Sorry, forgot to add, Jack's dressed as a highwayman))

Eric chuckles a little at the question. "Undead isn't, obviously, dead. My hair grows, my beard grows and I have to clip my fingernails on a semi regular basis now that I don't have Pam to give me manicures."

He misses Pam's manicures, and her hair treatments. Making her go to beauty school several years ago had really paid off for him.

Jack's eyebrows go right up at this information, his amusement growing. "Pam?" he asks, because he hasn't heard that name before.

Is it actually a costume if it's true? [ that's elena's greeting as she sidles up to the bar next to eric. and yes, she is without a care reaching to pluck up a bottle of beer in front of the owner. she uncaps it, settles, and takes a sip.

btw she is a sexy musketeer.

[ Eric smirks at her question, watching with amusement as she grabs the bottle of beer from the bar. He comes from a time when there was no such thing as a legal age to drink alcohol so that part of things don't fuss him at all. In fact, it's a bit endearing the way that Elena is comfortable enough around him to do such. So few people are. ]

Ah, but there aren't many people who know it's true. [ he gestures out to the crowd of people. ]Most of them just assume I'm a very tall man pretending to be a viking.

[ comfortable enough serve herself and drink: elena gilbert. ] So it just amuses you to be a thousand-year-old vampire viking in a room full of people who don't know. [ elena doesn't really need a confirmation of that. she's taking an educated guess. ]

[ eric actually considers that for a moment before grinning like a doof. It's one of those real smiles that's incredibly rare for Eric.]

Yup.

[ color elena not surprised. although the sudden and rare grin doesn't go unnoticed. she's seen plenty of smirks and grins from eric, but this one seems a few good measures without guile. she can't help but return it with a spreading one of her own, mostly because he's definitely ridiculous. him and every other vampire who seems to feel similarly about their knowledge and power over the unsuspecting. re: damon.

her eyes close momentarily and she lets out a soft laugh. yet it gives her pause too. considering what she is now. considering instead of a lifetime, there's an eternity stretched out before her.

she wonders how she might feel in a century or two, and why. her eyes roams over the crowd, over all the people who could be dead long before her. when she turns back to eric, her question is blunt, curious, and with an air of seriousness that wasn't present before.
] Why is that?

[Lelouch spots Eric on his throne, and gives him a cursory glance before approaching in his own Non-stretch of a costume. He bows formally, but with a bit of a theatrical flourish, as his costume commands.] My thanks to the host. [Off comes the mask, and look, he's even put scar makeup on.] Lelouch. I don't believe we've had the pleasure.

[ Eric smirks. Who doesn't like the Phantom?] You're welcome, but the praise really should go to Caroline. She did all the planning.

[ Eric gives him another look, looking beyond the makeup and the costume. ] No. I don't believe we have. Eric Northman.

[Garcia's dressed in a homage to her now-gone superhero bud and doing her best to have a great time. Which means she's walking around with a glass of red wine (not her first) and chatting up whomever is handy.]

Hey, it's the host with the most! You throw a good party, man.

[ Eric smiles charmingly. It's obvious it's not Penelope's first glass of wine and for that he's pleased. The whole point was for the people here to enjoy themselves. ]

Thank you, but the bulk of the credit must go to my co-host, Caroline. She planned everything.

Modesty is totally unnecessary. The atmosphere alone is totally praise-worthy! I mean I never thought I could feel comfortable hanging in a place called the Blood Shack.

The hot bartenders don't hurt, I gotta say. [She's referring to Eric himself and to Spike, who is the reason she ventured in here in the first place.]

[ He chuckles at the bartender comment. ] I thank you and I"ll give your compliments to Spike.

[She likes being liked!] Goal achieved, mon amie. I mean, consider me among the three most easy freaked out people in all the universes, and yet here I am. Hanging with you awesome vampires and loving it. Who knew?

[She waves off his offer to pass her compliments along.] I'll flatter him ridiculously myself once I spot him. But let me ask, is is like a requirement to be stupidly gorgeous to become a vampire, or just coincidence?
