Magic's in the make-up~ [nighttime, mid-November]

[vampire_barbie_girl]

Caroline hadn't known what to expect when the box was delivered. She ordered a fair amount of things online - especially now that her shopping hours were so limited - but she was pretty sure this wasn't one of them. She was even more sure when she opened the box and discovered a bottle of perfume inside. She definitely hadn't order that.

It wasn't until a few days later that she actually tried it on. And when she did, it actually good. Like, really good.

And so, the next time she had a night off, she decided to pull out a super cute outfit, spent half an hour on her make-up, put on a generous amount of the perfume and headed out the door. She wasn't exactly sure where she was going but it really didn't matter. She just knew it was going to be an exciting night.

[Caroline's perfume has some strange properties, naturally. It will make her highly attractive to anyone of a different supernatural type and utterly repulsive to any vampires. There is no effect on humans. Feel free to run into her anywhere in London that is at least somewhat safe for a vampire to be.]

His play of employment being what it is he's heard rumors, and he suspects what she might be from their last conversation even if she didn't outright tell him, but he has no way of being certain. Much less that she was actually involved in the events he's heard hinted of in Islington.

Even if he was sure, he's not close enough to ask her how she's doing, or for more details. So he doesn't. He lets the conversation linger on lighter topics. If things have been hectic, she probably needs that no matter what they were.

"I guess there's no rule saying you need a reason. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't interrupting anything."

[vampire_barbie_girl]

When she realizes he thought she was on a date, Caroline smiles. "That's very sweet but you're definitely not interrupting anything at all." Not that she would turn down an offer, if she got one that sounded good. "How about you? Anything exciting plans for the evening?"

[catphishing]

He laughs slightly, shaking his head.

"No. I just figured this would be a little more exciting than staying home and watching Netflix."

[vampire_barbie_girl]

Caroline laughs too. "I don't know, there are some pretty exciting shows on Netflix. Though some of them aren't available on here, of course."

[catphishing]

"That's not completely true."

It would be if he actually went by their terms of service, but really, Oliver uses his computer for far worse things than fooling a streaming service into thinking he's viewing it from somewhere else.

"I mean, they've cracked down on a few of the widely used things, and you've got to be careful about what you're using, but there are plenty of VPNs you can use still."

[vampire_barbie_girl]

Right. She forgot that Oliver was tech guy. "I have no idea how to do any of that. Maybe I need to invite you over to get me set-up some night. I do miss my American content."

[catphishing]

"I could probably just tell you."

It's one of those things that isn't actually that hard. He's sure if he gave her one that he trusts she'd be able to set it up herself easily.

[vampire_barbie_girl]

"I suppose. It would be a lot easier for me to just have you do it though," she said with a grin.

[catphishing]

"Not that much easier." He doesn't mind though. "But if you wanted me to then I could do it."

[vampire_barbie_girl]

"Excellent." She'd been half-joking but if she could get him to set things up, all the better. Maybe he'd manage to find a way to boost her WiFi while he was at it.
