The Devil's Nest [Thursday Evening]

[texted3times]

Eric was opening the club tonight, a move that kind of shocked the DJ when he arrived five minutes late.

After being assured Eric wouldn't eat him this time, the DJ promised to play whatever Eric wanted.

Turned out the DJ didn't have ancient Norse ballads.

The new DJ would be there tomorrow. Tonight you were subjected to the contents of Eric's iPod.

There were plenty of ancient Norse ballads on that.

Jaina sat, giving him a little smile in return, even if she'd been kinda doing without those. "And how are you doing?"

"Something feels strange about tonight," Eric said. "I feel a...presence...that I should not. He's dead." He tilted his head to look at Jaina. "A familiar feeling for you?"

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"I know a little about that," she said, suddenly a little concerned. "Who is it?"

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

"Godric," Eric murmured.

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"Oh," she said, and frowned. "Wasn't expecting that."

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

"Me either," Eric said shortly, staring into space. "So, tell me about your weekend."

Re: VIP Area

Jaina paused, and tried, "It was horrible, it ended, the end."

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

"I heard on the radio that some of the girls turned into boys," Eric said, watching her face, "so I can guess how that might be horrible."

Jaina was finding the table super interesting right now.

"Not my best experience," she said after a moment.

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

There was a slight pause.

"Would you like a hug?"

It wasn't exactly Eric's first instinct.

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"Yeah," she said without much thought, going in for one. Besides, he should get one for sensing dead people anyway.

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

Eric hugged her back tightly. "Sorry your weekend totally blew," he murmured.

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

Jaina had to smile a little. "You had to phrase it like that, huh?"

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

"I did," Eric agreed, smiling.

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"Thanks," she said, pulling back.

It still made her wonder sometimes how getting hugs from a vampire made her feel better.

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

"Any time, but the next one I'll charge you for," Eric made up.

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"Please, you will not," she scoffed.

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

"I'll charge you a ride in a ship with weapons."

No, Eric, you still can't have a ship with weapons.

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"I'm not giving you access to weapons and flight," she told him.

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

Eric frowned. "But I already have flight and weapons! Yours are just more interesting."

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"Fine, then I'm not giving you the ability to rain death from above. How's that?" Jaina asked.

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

"Very cruel," Eric declared.

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"Not to the entire rest of the world," she pointed out.

Re: VIP Area

[texted3times]

"But you don't know the entire rest of the world," Eric wheedled. "You know me."

Re: VIP Area

[solo_sword]

"I know a lot of the people in it," Jaina said. "And there are areas of it that I really like."
