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. ]

[Catherine graces the party with wary glances, dressed as a 1950s sophisticate. It's as close to normal clothing as those around her had been willing to let her get away with, inconspicuous but still thematic. Still, missing her arm makes everything just a little uncomfortable, and it shows in the way she carefully avoids refreshments at first, avoids introductions, stays away from anything that involves human contact.

No dancing for her either, just quiet observations as she plays the wallflower so very well.]

	[ Eric notices her because she's so set apart from everyone else. He pours a glass of red wine and makes his way across the room toward her. He offers her the wine. ] Not enjoying yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[On instinct, she turns slightly away, belatedly concealing her missing arm. But then she thinks better of it and tries to relax a little, accepting the wine.] I haven't been to something like this since I was in my thirties. It will take some adjustment. The atmosphere is relaxed enough to keep me from running out of the door, however. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Excellent. As a business owner, relaxed is something I am for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If nothing else, it's more relaxing than where I was. [She sips the wine, hoping it's good, because honestly? She needs it. Desperately. The coffee helped, but this is even better.] Admittedly that isn't difficult to do. ...How long have you been here, if you don't mind my asking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2013-10-17 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	Four months. It's nowhere near as long as some people and yet a good deal longer than many. [ Eric sips at his goblet. It might be red wine. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who has been here the longest? I imagine it's a dubious badge of honor. [...If it's not, she doesn't want to know. Not today. Too much for one day.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
