Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm Sirius, one of the two lovely wizards around here. Next month is the big opening of our magic shop, but today I speak on behalf of something, someone else.

See this lovely lady?

[He turns the device until it shows the moving photograph of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, how she's smiling and waving rather untypically at the camera.]

She currently doesn't have a date for New Year's Eve! It's bad enough to spend Christmas alone or, well, in the company of a drunkenly depressed friend with an odd sense of humour, but how can a gorgeous woman like that be alone for New Year's?

It'd be a crime, I'm sure you agree. She is called Anita, she can probably kick your arse the way she'll kick mine if she catches me for this, she is, as you can see, absolutely gorgeous. Add wit and charm to that and anyone who's not snatched up yet should be going after her!

However, needless to say, there are some requirements. For one, she only wants males. I'm sorry, ladies, I've been trying to convince her! For another, obviously you should be good-looking and charming and witty yourself.

She might go for the bad boys, just a bit, but doesn't everyone?

Come on, blokes, tell me if you're interested and if you meet my approval, I might be able to help set something up.

[OOC: ...marauder is doing marauding things, I suppose. Needless to say, Anita doesn't know he's doing this. That's what makes it fun.]

Maybe there'll be a second date!

You're really optimistic about this.

When they don't end up ruining my life and killing my friends, my ideas have a high success rate.

Now you're trying to make me feel bad about being pissed off! It won't work.

[Yes, it will.]

What if I bought you coffee?

That's cheating.

Marauder!

FINE. Coffee, and I get to hit you twice, and I'll do this thing. Done deal.

Where do you want to meet, love?

Feel like staying in? I'm not sure I want to watch these replies come in -- if you get any -- out in public. You could apparate to get the coffee, right? Use your handy wizard tricks?

No problem. What coffee do you want? And anything else, while I'm out?

Large, two sugars, one cream today.

And chocolate biscotti.

Thanks so ever, love.

[Picking up Sirius speech, yup.]

[He doesn't even notice.]

I'll be there in a bit.

Wait. What's your address?

South 305. I'll leave the door unlocked.

[He just apparates right into her living room, holding her coffee.]

He's hiding as a pet rat?!

[He got spoilers again. ...so very sorry.]

[She covers her mouth to try and stifle a laugh. That's heavy stuff for him. She doesn't want to make light of it, but his entrance was pretty comical. Once she's composed, which only takes a moment, she shows her face, nodding to confirm.]

Afraid so.

How pathetic is that? He has to be the most pitiful, disgusting git in history!

[Since there's nothing he can do anyway, he finally holds out the coffee for Anita and takes a deep breath.]

Sorry. Coffee or hitting first?

I'd have to agree with you there.

[She accepts the coffee gratefully after standing up to meet him, giving him a sympathetic look before gently punching him in the right shoulder. Some of her ire has definitely cooled.]

I think I'll save the other one for later. Make yourself at home?

[He holds out chocolate biscotti, too. Clearly he's the most useful friend ever. Getting her dates, even!]

Hit me when I least expect it? Very evil, I like it.

[Sitting down on the closest chair and nibbling on one of those chocolate things himself now.]

So, any of them of interest?

Who says I can't be devious?

[She can't help grinning as she also takes the biscotti, eagerly taking a bite off the end before sitting down in the chair beside him, her computer open on the coffee table in front of them.

All right, Sirius, so you're a pretty useful friend.]

As a serious date? Not really. At the moment, I actually think Loki is the frontrunner.

I think you can be very devious, that's part of why I like you.

[Useful and pretty, precisely.]

Loki?

[He isn't so sure about his ability to beat him up.]

Why?

I'm so glad you've chosen to take notice of my finer qualities.

[She grinned, taking a sip of her coffee and reveling in the warmth of it, along with the taste of sugar and cream. Just what she needed to relax after an admittedly tense couple of days.

She raises an eyebrow at his questioning. Well, he wanted to approve her dates. Only fair that she share her reasoning.]

Because Koizumi is a bit on the young side for me, even if I'm not planning for anything to happen that night. Loki is an acquaintance, possibly even a friend, and I know he'll at least provide me with intelligent conversation for the evening. I also know that he won't lay a hand on me because he thinks mortals have some kind of cooties, I'm pretty sure, so that's a bonus.

[She pauses, taking another sip.]

And in the very unlikely event that the night actually does take a romantic turn, I already know that he's an excellent kisser. Not too hard on the eyes, either.

[Yes. She thinks he's attractive. Deal with it.]

Edited 2012-12-26 06:39 (UTC)

A bit snake-like though, don't you think?

[He didn't like Loki all that much before, either, just because of some people he reminded him off, but now he finds himself liking him even less.

Probably just because he's thinking about him more.]

Don't think he looks all that good.

Snake-like, but it's just one date. Besides, he's been reasonably upfront with me, for a master of lies. In that I know I can't really trust him, so he won't catch me off-guard. And so far, for various reasons, the other options aren't really options. At least I'd be with a friend. You know I'm not planning for this to become anything real.

[Sound logic, Anita.]

Maybe not conventionally. He's got a little something about him, though.

[Sidelong glance while she drinks her coffee. Is that the green-eyed monster rising up behind you, Sirius?]

Yes, that little something is called unwashed hair.

[He is not jealous. He'd just rather she would be with someone who doesn't remind her of family members and/or Slytherins. But he's not sure how to say that without sounding jealous, so he just eats his biscotti and licks his fingers.]

So how far would you go on this first and only date?
