thread - beach party WHO: Tanek and Xavier WHEN: Saturday, Sept 8th, after dark WHERE: Beach party
Late Saturday night, after dark, the beach party was in full swing. Tiki torches provided some limited illumination for the partygoers, but many people were taking advantage of the darkness and shadow. Xavier was one of them. It wasn’t the party itself that had interested Xavier, rather the people attending, with high spirits and lowered inhibitions. For the vampire, the hunger to feed from a live source never faded all the way away, and sometimes the temptation felt quite strong. He knew he couldn’t just take what he wanted, but he hoped that maybe the mood of the evening might prompt someone to take a risk and trying something new and exhilarating.
The vampire stayed in the dark, at the tree line, close enough to still be able to people watch but far enough to not be noticed. He was dressed in black jeans and a dark grey long-sleeved tee, looking much less summery than most attending the get together. Most of the other guys there had their shirts off for the sake of posturing and hoping to catch someone else’s eye, but that wasn’t Xavier’s style. He did note that most people he saw had drinks in their hands, even many of the ones who’d ventured into the water. He’d considered getting a drink himself, but he didn’t want to get pulled into any unwanted conversation. Instead he watched and observed, drawing on what else he knew about who he saw, waiting for someone he would want to engage with, hopefully someone who might be up for a thrill.
