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. ]

[Euphie's costume suits her a little too well. In fact, it is very much like something she would wear for a ball or other important event at home. But this time Lelouch helped pick it out. It was in the costume section, so even if she isn't entirely aware of who she is being for this dance, she does feel very at ease in the finery. That'll happen sometimes when you're a princess. She also loves to dance, so don't hesitate to ask for she might beat you to the punch.]

	[Rebekah wasn't around for the Phantom of the Opera musical -- just the novel. The musical came out during one of her coffin phases. Either way she can recognize how lovely Euphie looks. Which is why she approaches her friend with a smile.] It's a lovely look on you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She smiles widely at her friend.] I could say the same. That dress really suits you. The headband too. I'm not sure I recognize it. [Curious about what the costume is other than a sparkly dress.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's from a time period back home, women back in the 1920s wore them. [Herself included.] They were called flappers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I see. Why "flappers?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The term was coined to compare young women to birds learning how to fly -- it was the part of the beginnings of female liberation. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[ helen isn't going around to many people during this, but she hasn't seen euphie recently. so after an involved internal debate, she grabs a drink and makes her way over. she's doing her best to look more upbeat than she feels and she offers a gentle smile once she approaches. ] It's good to see you in person. You look wonderful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Helen, hello. [Euphie smiles, but seeing her brings back memories of the awfulness surrounding how they met. She does her best to push thoughts of genocide safely away. They belong in nightmares, not at dances.] Thank you. So do you. Pink looks good on you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ helen remembers it well, too, but she's hoping another meeting will banish that more. ] Thank you. It might look better on you, though your outfit is quite stunning. Did you choose it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That would be very welcome.] Actually, it was my brother's suggestion. He does have good taste. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lifelines 2013-10-29 12:53 pm UTC (link)
	So it would seem. Is he here with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-11-04 12:31 pm UTC (link)
	He is. His garment has a white mask with it. [She looks around to see if she can point him out.] Ah, over there by the refreshments. You know, he's going to be teaching a cooking and baking class. I didn't even realize cooking and baking were different things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lifelines 2013-11-06 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	He wears that well. [ she gets the reference, even if she isn't all that familiar with it. ] I believe some people consider them to be one and the same, though others think of them as different. It all depends on who you speak with on the subject, but I suppose that can be said of a lot of things in life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-11-07 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	That's true. Maybe it just requires the knowledge to see the distinctions. I've been trying to learn to cook, and bake I suppose. It's been slow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They take time and practice, as do most skills in life. I'm certain, given both, you will pick it up just fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-11-10 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. I do hope so. I would hate to frustrate or embarrass Lelouch, but I will try my best. Have you been taking any of the classes at the school? Maybe you'd be interested in teaching one? [The enabling begins.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn, meanwhile, comes walking up to Euphie, crunching on a cracker smeared with some kind of meaty goo.] [He is not wearing a costume at all.] This food fucking sucks. [Said around a mouth-full of said food.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-11-07 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	You humans do this thing? [He shakes the half-eaten cracker in his hand.] Complicating perfectly decent meat with other nonsense. Like. Okay. Mashing it up? Fine. Weird, but whatever. [He shoves it a few inches from her face so as to see it. Caliborn refrains from actually smearing her with it.] But this. What the hell is in this. Spices? Why. [Hi, Euphie.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-11-07 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn shoves the rest into his mouth, and licks his fingers.] Deplorable. A lot like this so-called fire hazard you call a "party." At least you're not dressed like a fucking idiot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn won't cry over spilled sister-hatred.] [He leans back and snorts.] Me? What. Hell no. You want the ugly costumes department, give my sister a ring. I'm here as I should always be. [He tilts his chin upward and gives her a nasty grin.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
