[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

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

[lajolieblonde]

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

[vikingvampire]

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

[iseemore]

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?

audio ][

[vikingvampire]

No. It has to be a living animal.

[iseemore]

.....I'm sure there are other ways to...er...express your feelings.

[vikingvampire]

It's either this or a human, and Sookie would look less favorably on the latter.

[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?

[vikingvampire]

Exactly what it looks like, Godric.

[faderbroderson]

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

[vikingvampire]

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?!

[vikingvampire]

I would sacrifice much more for her.

[Unfortunately, this curse is making him say things he would never even come close to admitting. Ever.]

[perspectiveguy]

[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?

[vikingvampire]

I could just as easily sacrificed a human, but the goat seemed more appropriate.

Do I look like I'm joking?
