OOMs - Sinric’s adventures in choosing his own lovers.

On a very low day and in need of affection, Sinric takes advantage of Eric’s taste for his blood to get the warmth he needs. Which he doesn’t really get.
Warnings for sex, blood, angst and vampire blood as a drug.

On the same a similar low day, he offers to take Hannibal to his world to check out a Byzantine bathhouse.
Warnings for sex, nakedness, culturally contextual slavery and Hannibal being creepily pleasant and funny.

In complete contrast, Ragnar and Sinric joke about serving suggestions and go back to their rooms to fool around.
Warnings for oral sex, fingering, sweet silliness, and jokes that would be intently creepy if they came from Hannibal instead of Ragnar.

Kung-Fu Movie Night

[cassiefuckingcage]

There are two things that Cassie does when she needs to relax - throwing a party and sitting back to watch a martial arts film. Tonight she's especially on edge. There's only one possible remedy.

You shouldn't have trouble seeing the sign.

Martial Arts Movie Marathon:

In light of how awesome the last party I threw was, we're having another one. This one is in celebration of the greatness of the Earth art form known as the martial arts film. It is a noble art form, dealing with the universal themes of vengeance, resistance to unjust authority, being proud of your cultural heritage, the inherent beauty of a roundhouse kick to the chin, and above all else the eternal question of whose kung-fu style is strongest.

We will celebrate by watching three classics of the genre. You'll know they're classics because I picked them. The first film starts at five. Be there.

- Cassie Cage, Master of Ceremonies

Right now she's be moving about the projector room, setting up her 36th Chamber of Kung-Fu Appreciation. It is an ancient ritual that involves booze and snacks.

[OOM: Let's walk along these cobblestones
To a simpler time
And why can't we just take a look around us
I want to see the things that make you smile

Or: Oswin visits Goldkrone.]

Gogo found his current nestmate by being very good at sniffing out when people are sad. It's a skill! He's very good at it!

So when he and Nestmate came down to the bar this evening, and Gogo noticed the big dodo with the silver arm huddled in a miserable little lump by the fireplace, he threw Nestmate a look -- just to be sure he was okay first -- before waddling across the room to investigate.

Bemused, Gaeta followed a few paces behind. Curtis didn't even notice until the other side of the couch sagged under a new weight (i.e. a thirty- or forty-pound extinct bird hefting himself onto the cushions), and by then it was too late: a second later, Gogo flopped down over Curtis' thighs, plocking out a quiet reassurance. IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY, GIANT DODO STRANGER.

"...Sorry," Gaeta says, rueful.

"No, um." Curtis blinks down at the bird; tentatively, he settles his right hand on Gogo's head. "It's. It's okay."

Gaeta's had enough frakked-up days himself to know a bad one when he sees it. He takes a seat not far from Gogo and Curtis, but doesn't say anything, busying himself with getting some coffee and dinner instead. For a while, it's quiet in their corner of the bar.

Then: "Is this a dodo?" Curtis ventures.

Gaeta cracks a smile. "Yeah."

The ensuing conversation's soft, lurching along in little fits and starts, but another thing Gaeta knows about bad days: sometimes, it helps to talk about nothing. Or about the dodo that just threw himself into your lap because you were radiating so much pain and grief, as the case may be. Maybe they'll move to something else later. Maybe not. It's fine either way.
