[Eric is kneeling on the ground in a field somewhere, holding a small goat and a knife. The poor goat is bleating and and struggling to get away, but Eric won't let it go.]

Sookie Stackhouse, in honor of my love for you and in the hopes that you will get over Bill once and for all, and choose me instead, I have decided to sacrifice this goat to whichever City Deity will grant my wish.

Eric Northman, what in the name of God are you doin' to that poor goat?

I knew you were lyin' to me earlier. I just knew it.

As a matter of fact, I wasn't lying. I never said you were mine.

Then what the hell is this, exactly?

Blood sacrifices are the highest offerings we can make to the gods.

Eric, killin' something is hardly the way to get me to think any better of you.
Date/Time: 2010-08-17 23:04 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] vikingvampire.livejournal.com
What does it matter what I do, you hardly think of me anyway, right? Unless all your protesting is just a cover-up.

Well, it's certainly not gonna help your case any, thank you very much.

Why don't we let the Deities decide that.

Stop! Don't---what did the goat ever do to you?

Can't you sacrifice....something else...I don't know what exactly but...something not alive?
Date/Time: 2010-08-16 23:34 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] vikingvampire.livejournal.com
No. It has to be a living animal.
Date/Time: 2010-08-16 23:38 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] iseemore.livejournal.com
.....I'm sure there are other ways to...er...express your feelings.
Date/Time: 2010-08-17 00:35 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] vikingvampire.livejournal.com
It's either this or a human, and Sookie would look less favorably on the latter.
Date/Time: 2010-08-17 00:45 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] iseemore.livejournal.com
...understandably, but er...don't you think...have you tried flowers?

Girls seem to like flowers.


I mean, when you give them to them...not...sacrifice them.

[While Godric, on principle, approves of both the budding relationship between Eric and Sookie and animal sacrifice, this overt act of desperation is very much unlike Eric.]

Eric, what are you doing?
Date/Time: 2010-08-17 00:05 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] vikingvampire.livejournal.com
Exactly what it looks like, Godric.

I don't...disapprove, but I am concerned. This is not like you.

Normally, I would agree with you, but today it feels like something I have to do.

[Xander is sitting at a table, newly arrived and about to eat wishing he still weren't wearing duck pajamas. He is in shock. He is also confused.]

...Are...you about to sacrifice a GOAT? For love?!
Date/Time: 2010-08-17 00:14 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] vikingvampire.livejournal.com
I would sacrifice much more for her.

[Damn that curse!]

Look, take it from me but the big gesture use of not exactly kosher means of getting a girl to love you just doesn't work. In fact, sometimes, it backfires so incredibly badly that an entire population of women goes after you.

So, just...you know, walk softly or some such something. And maybe...spare the goat? What'd the kid ever do to you?
Date/Time: 2010-08-17 00:40 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] vikingvampire.livejournal.com
I could just as easily sacrificed a human, but the goat seemed more appropriate.

You say that like you're not huma-

[There's a pause, a slow lift of the head and then a sigh.]

You're not a human, are you?
Date/Time: 2010-08-17 19:13 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] vikingvampire.livejournal.com
Of course I'm not human. I haven't been human for over a thousand years.
Date/Time: 2010-08-17 19:16 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] perspectiveguy.livejournal.com
Why is this an 'of course?' That's like me saying, of course I'm a guy because I'm always a guy and guys are always around being guys. There was a chance that you were human and another chance that you were demon. But judging by the whole immortality schtick, you're a vampire.

So, that's fun.

You're sacrificing a goat. You're sacrificing a bloody goat. What the hell?

[Eric's not having any of this reasonable talk. He has to sacrifice this gd goat to make the Deities listen. It's just the way it is.]

If I wanted your advice I would've asked for it.

Appears as if you played one too many heavy metal records backwards.
