North

Within the Northern vicinity of the city, the wealthy gather behind meticulously trimmed hedges and high-class architecture. The pristine streets are paved with stone and the storefronts are brightly lit and inviting - for the right clientele. In the North, every establishment is eager to cater to the rich and the wealthy. Many such places are used to the sometimes peculiar requests of the otherworldly but here there is little that money cannot buy - whether it happens to be illegal or merely involves looking the other way. Vampires and Dark Hunters are often found upon these Northern streets, their long lives often contributing to their sizable wealth which allows them the luxuries that the North provides.

What what what was this? A woman that shared his taste in good liquor? It couldn't be! Okay, now that he's done sounding like a gent from the 1960s talking about women, the truth was that not many women he knew would actively be like "I like my liquor upfront and in my face with a refreshing soda that's not Coca Cola" or worse, Dr. Pepper. Gross. Who drank Dr. Pepper? Like willingly? He could get maybe if it was a life or death situation, or maybe if someone really liked the flavor of cough syrup, but to actively seek it out because "I like the taste" (which is total lies)? Gross. Well, there's always exceptions, and he had to admit that Dr. Pepper and Goldschläger tasted like Christmas but he wasn't the biggest fan of Christmas because it meant the family had to get together and that... That was Christmas. Well shit, he certainly has gone off topic, hasn't he?

"Hey, a woman of good taste!" Blake gleefully announced to no one in particular, raising his glass in her direction though. While usually more reserved, the general atmosphere of the party and his own desire to have companionship overrode "common sense" or whatever it was that held him in check. Shifting his weight, he did a slightly awkward slide across the surface to end up closer to his new found companion- no matter if she had intended to invite his attention. "I'm Blake. No, I'm not drunk- yet- but I have decided to annoy you with my company while you have that drink. Though I suppose if you really don't want it, you could always just slap me or throw the drink in my face. It seems like a wasted drink, though, so if you're tempted to throw it, just say so and I'll take it off your hands."

Dear God, he almost sounded like his oldest brother. It was a nightmare coming true- he was turning into the outgoing Holmes. It was just one night though, who could it harm? Aside from any dangers of pretty women that turned out to be crazy/have crazy possessive ex-boyfriends/hidden sexually transmitted diseases (ha! Like it'd get that far, silly boy) or something silly like vampires. Ha, that last bit was a joke, get it? Because vampires aren't real but this was a Halloween party? Ha. Hey look at that, he was still simple Blake of the Bad Jokes. That was his super power. Bad jokes with little comedic timing. That and the power of alcohol loosening that tongue of his. He ought to consider reigning it in, and he would, buuuut... you know, this whole "wear a mask" thing was actually really kinda freeing. Sure, it was all fake confidence in an otherwise semi-unconfident male but hey, he could get off on this bravado for a little bit longer before he had to reign it back under control in the morn.
