| One Moment After The End |

Erik works with Ellen in the Greeting area of the InterHaven. He does much of the leg work, preparing reports, and escorting new Residents to their homes in the havens. Erik is an extraordinary hard worker and is so serious at work that some of his coworkers are shocked if they meet him out of the IH. There his is very much the 'life of the party' almost excessively. In the past Erik has had a very active eye for the ladies and also the guys. (he comes from a time and place when sex was just for 'fun' with little more meaning than a handshake. In his home culture Gay or Straight, wasn't an issue, if two adults knew each other but weren't playing periodic sex games with each other then they could hardly be called friends!) Despite having slept with many people in the past (including some surprising members of the cast) he has never had any relationship problems with former lovers, how he manages to avoid hurting his former lover's feeling seems to be a secret skill that his is not planning on revealing. But in the last few years he has sudden quieted down. Even Erik is not sure why and is a bit confused about his own feelings. Having spent more time with people from other more 'conservative' cultures, he is starting to doubt his own casual attitude and wondering if he missed out on something deeper. Still the roots of his home culture run deep. He expresses this partly in his choice of work dress, tight shorts, half shirt and no shoes (well hardly anyone other than worker who deal with dangerous waste wear shoes!) Like all hosts his body is always 'fit' so no one seems to notice or mind him showing his body off. We do find out that by IH standards he maybe conservatively dressed.
