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. ]

[No he's really not. He just sighs, shakes his head and actually doesn't hold it over her head and instead offers it to her after putting his drink down. Look he'll trade you.]

Not to myself or Dr. Magnus, and I'm here to make her comfortable. [And he even ducks his head down.] She's an old friend, and her life has been difficult recently and I'm afraid it led to a very wrong start between us. For that I apologize.

[At least he sounds genuine.]

	[He's doing a favor for a friend, and he's also offering her some food? She's only had a few bites up until now, so maybe... I mean if she just takes one thing... Maybe he's not a total ass?] ...You apologize? [And she sounds skeptical.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-10-31 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	[If she takes one thing he'll even get her another! Like really, he wants her to be comfortable.] I apologize, sincerely enough to do it in a costume like this. [Annd pointing to the outfit he's in.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-10-31 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	[This is awkward and completely strange and she looks as uncomfortable as she feels, moving stiffly and with her back too, too straight.] I'll accept it, then. [As she also accepts another bit of food.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-10-31 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	[To which he can't help but smile at even if his shoulders are too stiff.] Thank you. Though I have to wonder if it's that or something else that is making you uncomfortable, and if it is then I can attempt to find something to make your stay at this party easier.

	ex_complicit694 2013-10-31 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	[No. Don't smile. Stop... smiling. There's nothing here to smile about, dammit. She's practically frowning.] You don't make me uncomfortable. I'm perfectly capable of dealing with all sorts of unpleasant people. Most of them don't choose to be ultimately so pleasant, however. What are you after? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-01 02:39 am UTC (link)
	[Nooope gonna smile. SO MUCH SMILING.] I'm hardly unpleasant we just got off to the wrong start. [SIGH.] And I'm after your well being. Notably insuring you are well and taken care of. [Offering more food like really, Halsey, eat :<] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-11-01 02:41 am UTC (link)
	Why do you care at all? I have people who are perfectly capable of assisting me if I need it, and I tend to do things very much on my own. [Fine. She'll stop one-handedly juggling the wine glass and offer it over to him so she can pick at whatever food she'd like.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-01 02:50 am UTC (link)
	Because unlike some, the well being of everyone is a priority to me. [AND GOOD. He'll just take the snack he snagged and you know, eat it for himself so he can take her wine glass and just smile at her.] And it's those that say they can handle it on their own that I've found can't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-11-01 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Unlike some? [Seriously, the smiling is... really disconcerting. She doesn't particularly like charming people these days. They're usually false and looking for something. A motive. He must have a motive.] Then you must never have met anyone like me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-01 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Someone not here, who has a penchant for thinking of himself before others. [He does sigh however, tilting his head just so to give her a bit more of a once over.] I've met people like you, call a couple of them friends in fact, though I will say you are particularly prickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-11-01 03:11 am UTC (link)
	[Nothing to see, James, except someone who's quickly going from uncomfortable to rather the opposite... And yes, she's prickly.] Prickly? If I am, I have every reason to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-01 03:13 am UTC (link)
	[That means he's doing his job and his shoulders start to relax.] I'm guessing it has much to do with the proverbial elephant in the room then. [Her arm, in other words.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-11-01 03:16 am UTC (link)
	[Her eyes narrow slightly.] Don't stand there feeling sorry for me. In a few weeks, I'll be used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-01 04:14 am UTC (link)
	I'm not, if you I were you would know about it. [it will not however, stop his fussing when he has a free hand.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-11-01 10:44 am UTC (link)
	[Stop. Fussing.] You're attempting to feed me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-05 12:17 am UTC (link)
	[N.E.V.E.R!!!!!!11111!!!] No, I'm not. I'm not putting it into your mouth now, am I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-11-05 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Yet. [She raises an eyebrow as she thoughtfully retrieves her own food from the table.] Somehow I suspect you're the type who might try, if resisted enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-05 12:57 am UTC (link)
	[He shakes his head at that, a small smile evident.] For someone I don't know so well? No, I wouldn't. Far too impolite to force food on someone in such a way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-11-05 12:58 am UTC (link)
	[He's an odd duck, this one. Smug. Suitably charming, to someone who cares.] So you're a proper Victorian gentleman? Beyond being argumentative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-05 12:59 am UTC (link)
	[Well you know, that's what you get for being the detective supreme.] If anyone told you that proper gentlemen were not argumentative, then they have sorely been lacking your education of the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_complicit694 2013-11-05 01:04 am UTC (link)
	[Well, she's slightly intrigued but mostly still annoyed, for the record.] I'm afraid that was a few hundred years ago. I never did focus on that era in my history studies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofthisera 2013-11-05 01:15 am UTC (link)
	It's always the future ones that are captivating and full of knowledge I don't know and yet refuse to share the interesting bits of it. [Somehow he sounds more like a put out little kid then he does you know, overly serious about that. He's not fishing for information just bemoaning his life really and he puts both drinks down to poke around the food.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She purses her lips, trying not to be amused. He does sound awfully childish. It's... a petulance she hasn't dealt with in some time form anyone who mattered. Not that he matters, of course, but she's going to have to get used to him, sin't she? They're all in this together, so to speak.

Still not apologizing, though.]

Perhaps if you ask the right questions, you'll learn something.

[Of course they are.

And of course she isn't sigh.

Though she could be amused, he's used to it from people about such things really, especially Helen of all people.]

Hmm, I could attempt to do so and yet you are just as likely to share them as you are to avoid telling me it for the sake of the timeline, seriously or not. [He's equal parts amused and you know sounds like he's done this before.] Would you tell me if I did ask the right questions or are you tossing a very old fashioned dog a bone?
