  • Swap Meet Spreadsheet: Pre-chosen swaps are green. Assigned are blue. There were a few characters that were selected more than once, so objects were assigned on a first-come first-serve basis. If you have any issues or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the mod team.
  • For objects that might not be immediately apparent as belonging to their owners, there may be a picture or name attached, or players are welcome to have their characters ~just know~ it's for them. Drr drr drr, bb.
  • Party post nights are a great time to come join the chatroom.
  • The topic threads are just suggestions; if you've got somewhere else that your characters simply must be, make your own thread.
Warnings: None yet. Please put warnings up on individual threads.


The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap.

All evening there had been something bothering Sebastian; a vague sense of unease that reminded him of a sore tooth he couldn't stop worrying with his tongue. He'd tried to convince himself that it was just nerves from receiving Dumbledore's pensieve, but rationally, he couldn't discount that it might be something else.

After he'd found the appropriate recipients for both his object and Princess Nuala's, Sebastian choose to treat himself to a rare cigarette in an attempt to calm his nerves. The pensieve case comes along with him, balanced on a dolly he'd borrowed/rented from The Apache.

"D'you have a light?"

Ivan evaluates the newcomer, idly, but produces a lighter - as he's smoking a cigarette at the moment, it would be a bit of a statement to claim he didn't.

"Don't tell me you're waiting on the gods to send you a means of lighting cigarettes."

Being a vampire doesn't make you a smartass - that's just Ivan.

"You'd think that I'd stop carrying a pack if I was trying to quit, wouldn't you?" Sebastian graciously accepts the lighter and looks moderately relieved when he's able to take a drag off his cigarette. For the sake of everyone's health and well-being, let's say that he's downwind of Ivan and there's a good breeze.
deservesadaisy: (waiting for the show)

Ivan's fed earlier; he knew he'd be at a party full of living people, and he thinks it's better to behave unless he's trying to make a point. Still... probably best.

"I'd say I'd doubt you were actually trying to quit," Ivan observes, amused. "So is that what you got, or what you're giving away, then?" He indicates the dolly.

"A box full of someone else's memories," he says with a touch of emotion colouring his words. All evening, he's had trouble with his temper and it's only been getting worse. "You?"
deservesadaisy: (hello goodbye)

"Nothing as yet," he allows, "though I'm not sure what to be expecting. As Mr. Dickens wrote, nothing between a baby and rhinoceros would astonish me very much."

The description of Sebastian's item is interesting, but he's not sure whether he wants to press.

"Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. Sebastian, cohort handyman," he juggles his smoke to the other hand and offers to shake. "I'm going to wager you don't have a baby rhino then?"

"Ivan," he says, returning the offered handshake with mild amusement. "And no, not to give away. A bit of jewelry, that's all."

After shaking hands, Sebastian pulls back a bit, frowning and absently rubbing at his forehead as if he's got the beginnings of a headache. Plenty of plants and plant-like things are in bloom in Baedal, so it could be spring-time allergies.

But it's not.

Sebastian's heartrate spikes as he looks Ivan over. "Could I see the piece?"
deservesadaisy: (hello goodbye)

[personal profile] deservesadaisy 2012-04-16 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Ivan considers him - the tension, the nerves - and curiosity beats caution. He's wary of Sebastian, but doesn't consider him a threat for now.

He fishes out the locket, and shows it to Sebastian, though he doesn't offer to hand it to him. The chain is dangled over his fingers, the locket dangling below.

"It's locked somehow - I suspect magically."
heardmermaids: (sly without a smile)

[personal profile] heardmermaids 2012-04-16 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sebastian steps back, acting as if the locket is a poisonous snake ready to strike. Unconsciously, his hand drops down to where he once kept a wand and the absence of it startles him for a moment.

"I know that thing well. It's cursed and the toxin travels through touch. If your temper's short tonight it's already working." Keeping an eye on the locket and Ivan, Sebastian empties out the rest of his cigarettes into a pocket to use the packet as an impromptu envelope.
deservesadaisy: (don't look back in anger)

[personal profile] deservesadaisy 2012-04-17 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"I can't say I've noticed." Ivan watches Sebastian, trying to get a read on him. The reaction seems genuine enough. "Then again, some toxins rather lose their effect on the dead."

After a moment, (reluctantly?) he releases the locket into the cigarette box.
heardmermaids: (my parents are dead)

[personal profile] heardmermaids 2012-04-17 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's not a toxin, like a poison, but a curse that slowly changes your personality until it has control." As it drops into the box, Sebastian shudders and looks that particular sort of queasy that is often associated with painful dentist's visits.
deservesadaisy: (two rules for Ivan's car)

[personal profile] deservesadaisy 2012-04-18 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Do you know whose here it is?" Ivan is more intrigued than put off, which is probably just perversity.

[personal profile] heardmermaids 2012-04-18 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I could take a few guesses, but nothing certain," he says folding the top of the packet shut. Once that's done, there's a hissing rattle from the locket itself.
deservesadaisy: (listening)

[personal profile] deservesadaisy 2012-04-18 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"You're not afraid of retribution for misdirecting it?" he asks, raising his eyebrows.

He's almost sorry he gave the thing up, now.

"I am." He's willing to risk whatever the punishment may be to prevent something like a horcrux going free among Baedal's (former) Death Eater population. "I suspect I'd best go to the temple and ask for lenience."

Once he's put a poisoned hatchet through the locket.
deservesadaisy: (that will do)

[personal profile] deservesadaisy 2012-04-19 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"What an intriguing you must come from," Ivan said. "What do you intend to do with the thing?"

He sounds less concerned than interested.
