undergrounds | It's Thomas's Birthday and Everyone's Invited

Invitations had gone to everyone Thomas knew, and it was made expressly clear that they could bring whoever and however many people they wanted. He also made it clear that all who were present were guests, not food, and that while consensual feeding was permissible, no one was obligated to let anyone feed from them. He also made it clear that absolutely no one was obligated to wear any more clothing than they wished, and if someone wanted to show up partially or even entirely nude, he would thoroughly enjoy it.

His apartment itself was a large luxury apartment, and the living room area would easily be able to handle the guests even if there was a good turnout. He'd put out a table that had plenty of store bought snack trays and desserts, as well as a bowl of punch that was labeled 'no blood' and another 'blood punch' bowl that was labeled 'blood'. The kitchen counter had several bottles of various types of alcohol and plenty of beer for anyone to serve themselves at will. The living room, kitchen, dining room and main bathroom were immaculate, at least at the start of the party.

However, should anyone wander back to where Thomas's bedroom and master bath were, they would discover that Thomas was actually a slob, and simply didn't use the majority of his apartment, as they'd find those areas had dirty clothes strewn about, as well as beer bottles and other miscellaneous items. However, the door to those rooms was shut to discourage people going there, and there was a second bedroom that was entirely empty that he'd encourage people to go to instead should they wish to find some place a little more private.

Thomas himself had decided to dress in honor of a comment Natasha had made in jest once, wearing tight jeans under chaps, a pair of cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. There was even a tiny little vest that didn't reach far enough across his chest to be buttoned. Naturally, there was no shirt.

[[OOC: Thomas will be going around and talking to everyone, but this is a party mingle log so feel free to post amongst yourselves.]]

It was a relief for Caroline to be at a party she had no hand in planning - and not just because this meant she could get started on the drinking portion of the night right away. This definitely had a very different atmosphere than the Christmas party and it was pretty awesome.

Knowing Thomas' take on her fancy dress code, she'd gone out and found the skimpiest party dress that she could wear and still feel comfortable in. It was definitely nice to see the attention it got her.

When she finally spotted Thomas, she grinned. "Happy birthday!"

Spotting Carolyn, a grin spread across Thomas's face. "Carolyn! Hello!"

His gaze slide up and down her dress, and his smile widened. Of course Thomas appreciated scantily clad women. And men, too, sometimes.

"And I see you're taking a page out of my book and enjoying a more relaxed dress code than what I usually see you in. I like it. Are you having fun?"

Caroline grinned back. "Well, when in Rome, right?" She glanced around the room, happy that she is far from the most scantily clad here. "And yes, I am. How about you? Is this everything you dreamed of?" She was always ready to fix things if anything was going wrong.

"Of course." And she was 'doing as the Romans do' quite excellently, in Thomas's opinion. "And yes, this is great, thank you. I mean, I guess it isn't everything I dreamed of, but that's only because I'm not relaxing on a beach on a sunny day with a daylight ring while attractive strangers rub me down with oil, but it's everything I was hoping for for this party."

And even if something did go awry, he would see no reason why Caroline should be the one to fix it. After all, she was the guest this time, so she should relax and have fun, in Thomas's opinion. Besides, Thomas's idea of a party was pretty low maintenance.

She laughed. "That's a dream I can definitely get on board with. It's so frustrating, not having a ring. Or a beach filled with attractive strangers and oil." Of course, one day she hoped to change that.

"I agree, although I'm sure the latter would be fairly easy to arrange if we only had the former."

After all, who wouldn't want to join a party of people oiling up sexy vampires? They could probably get that now, but doing something like that at night just wasn't the same.

"We'll have to get right on that, once we do get them," she said, nodding. "So, any requests from the birthday boy tonight?"

"Hm..." he paused, thinking about that a moment. "You mean aside from us all trying to get as drunk as possible and singing along badly to some music?"

Because that sounded like it would be an awesome time to him.

"I already picked up on that one," she said, gesturing towards the blood punch. "And I do appreciate the compliment of imitation you've got going over there. So, what else do you want for your birthday?"

"I really liked it when I tried it at your party, so I figured I'd have some at mine." Now, for a real answer to what he wanted. Aside from what he was already doing or what she couldn't give. He shrugged. "I don't know. I'm usually happy with anything shiny, pretty or sexy, and you showed up, so that's two out of the three."

She cocked her head to the side slightly. "You didn't mention shiny in the invite or I'd have been able to manage all three." She's joking ... mostly. As Thomas should know by now, Caroline is a bit of a perfectionist and anything less than 100% just isn't good enough.

"Then it's a good thing that I didn't expect you to be all three. Besides, you're fun to be around. I wouldn't mind if you weren't any of those things...although being pretty and sexy is always a bonus."

He was just happy to have people present and ready to have a good time.
