"Benjamin." Ricardo said, sternly. "Can you at least look like you're having fun." He supposed one of them should at least give off the impression that they both hadn't come for a bromance dinner, due to the disaster that was their own love lives. "If I have to kick you under this table, I will." He sipped the neat whiskey he'd ordered, glancing around at the various couples. "I mean, we're definitely the best looking couple in here... cheers to that."

There wasn’t much Dilara wouldn’t do in order to stay occupied, and while being surrounded by the people from this rumored ‘cult’ perhaps was not the brightest idea, she figured during a party - and surrounded by people she has gotten to know over the last few months - things should be alright. Her eyes wandered about from the moment she entered the room, trying to find a singular familiar face amongst the ever moving crowd. “ Excuse me. ” she said, placing a hand on some stranger’s back as she muddled through the sea of people to get towards the drinks. If there was anywhere she’d be able to fully gauge the crowd, it should be from near there. “ Any clue what’s in there? ” she asked, offering a smile only to come face to face with a child she hadn’t seen in years now, but who’s face she’d never forget. “ Benjamin? How- when… Does Shaw know you're here? ”

"Okay, I am here." Andrew said as he sat down besides his brother, having let himself in, into his brother's home. He nearly spend all of his free time at Travis' home to help with the house and with Liliana's PT. Benjamin's message had seemed urgent, however. so after he made sure Travis and Liliana were fine, he made his way over. "What's going on?" @benjaminxjackson

"Sorry I'm late. Eloise decided to decorate me with her pumpkin paste the first and second round of clothing. Didn't quite make it to laundry day yet. Or, well.. my laundry, anyway." When he did have the chance to do laundry, Eloise's came first. Then underwear and towels, but Benjamin didn't need to know that. Instead he showed up wearing his army shirt on top of some old jeans. "You can still back out on teaching me how to bake, you know." @benjaminxjackson

@thedevilsbckbone THA THING

Father Ben had had a rough couple of months. People in the congregation have brought it up once or twice, offering them their doctor nephew or specialist daughter since he was losing weight, had dark eyes, he was generally quiet--when not upset and seemed weak. Only if an illness were his problem.

In a certain way it had been. His hubris. He had been called out, again and again regarding his pride--it was a mortal sin, one that had led him to believe he was right about helping people, Luke in particular. Luke whom he had known since he was a tiny scout, who had been attending church every Saturday until he was 13, Lukd who had talked to him about becoming a priest himself until he had met that horrible men that had led him astray.

At first, like the congregation, Ben thought Lukd had taken to drugs but it was far, far worse. The old man had lured his boy with promises of having everything he always wanted and Luke had fallen for it, hard.

It wasn't easy to understand either--years in the seminar and his friendship with Andrew Kiernan had taught him that evil walked the earth in many shapes and forms but he had mostly thought it was figure of speech. That it was the drugs, the manipulation--not cold ones.

Until he felt Luke's fangs on his neck, the strange pull to let him continue, the unspeakable, unthinkable desire the fangs on his neck, draining the life out of him had brought to his senses he wouldn't have believed his old friend. Until he was laying practically dead and Lukd shoved his own bloodied wrist to his mouth with promises of making everything better, of wanting to share that gift with him that had given him so, he hadn't believed it.

Not until the next morning, when he woke up with what felt like the worst hangover of his life and a bite in his neck that he lied to himself, had been out of more carnal pursuits. But it wasn't. Nothing was the same.

He could hear more, see further away, things tasted--odd and the craving, the craving was the worst part.

He didn't think he was going to make it through the first mass, so many pulsating necks, long, short, plump, thin--it didn't matter.

But he was going to overcome this, there had to be a way.

It had been months and he was still looking for one, having rejected luke's help and the old man's--wanting nothing than to kill Shiev from bringing this plague into their lives. He had thought of hunting animals and he had gone well so far--or as good as it could be when a meat eater was given tofu. He loathed the comparison since he had never been a fan of red meat and the irony did not escape him. But he couldn't eat cooked meat and to do... to go for what he ached for it was unthinkable.

Even if he didn't finish his prey as Luke had taught him, even if it was just a taste--what made Luke think he'd be able to control himself?

So off he went and found a poor deer and made it back to church, heading into it through the back entrance--it was late, it was terribly late and no one should be here. And yet he could hear it, the rapid heartbeat.

Quickly, he looked at his barely cleaned bloodied hands and figured his face wasn't much better--his coat was dark and so were his trousers but he smelt of dead.

"Who's there?"

[lilianaxjackson]

Liliana had spent time with Travis' family before they broke up, and now that they were together again and expecting, she was terrified of how they viewed her. She had left their brother to be with another man, even if the situation was an unusual one. Would they forgive her for her slight? Liliana was soon to find out as she made her way to the house Travis had been building, her trunk filled with material she had decided to help Travis move while he was at work. She'd make sure to get the lighter items with her, which she was 'allowed' to carry. She still had four long months to go before the baby would get there but might as well get used to it. What she didn't expect however was Benjamin appearing, and she gave him a little smile as she put the box back in the trunk. "Hey, Travis is still working, if you're looking for him." @benjaminxjackson

"This is so not fair. You take one vacation to come and support your sister... or at least be nearby in case she does want your support, and they just 'temporarily' replace you with some younger version with breasts bigger than a pair of cantaloupes." Cordelia paused, inbetween her sniffles. "Are cantaloupes even big, I don't even know what it is, but that's what people say right... Anyway, you'd rather watch me on the news right? Hello, stranger," she clicked her fingers in their direction. "You, I'm talking to you, idiot."

"Hey bud, heard you were back in town." Quentin nodded at Benjamin, entering his restaurant. It was nowhere near opening time but namedropping got you places sometimes. Seeing he was Callum's little brother, he was curious to know what he had been doing since last he saw him. "So? Give it to me straight, what have you been up to? What's the latest outside of good old East Haven?" @benjaminxjackson

"I'm pretty sure that it's salt first, and then shot followed by the lime." Hyo finished sprinkling salt on her wrist. "You're doing it all wrong."

"see i'm not saying you can't kiss anyone at midnight." he started coming to stand next to the serenity, "but if you do can you at least please promise me it won't be that guy?"

"Have you seen how many people are here? It's revolting." Ricardo said, as he observed the festival-goers. Usually, he'd be happy for so much business, but all his mind would think about was the clean up that would have to take place once all the stalls had disappeared. "What do you want to do, Benny? Shall we be romantic and make tie-dye t-shirts for each other?"
