002 In Which Vampires are Silly

[eternallyoutrageous]

Who: Akeldama and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Planet side and Iskaulit
When: throughout December

Iskaulit library - actually more in late November shh
[What was Lord Akeldama to do with himself when he didn't have the life he normally lived at home? No drones, no going out to the see the latest show at the theater. None of it. So he had headed to the library. True, he typically only read what appeared in the gossip rags now-a-days, but that didn't mean he was incapable of a good book.

Well... that's if he could find a good book...

Curiosity had compelled him to look at one of the books on Earth history, but he clearly hadn't gotten very far, sitting there, drumming his nails against the table as he stared at one section]

Planet side - shopping!
[At the first possible opportunity, Lord Akeldama was shopping! He was sadly lacking in clothes and he wanted so much to be able to burn those horrid jumpsuits that had been given to him. They were a travesty against all things fashion after all.

So he could easily be found in the formal section of a clothing store browsing different options that fit his taste... in as many colors as he could possibly afford. He didn't like not having funds to just do whatever he wanted.

He had also found a fabric store while he was there, browsing quietly. Not like he could do anything with it after all. An unfortunate side effect of metamorphosis, no more creativity.

That was until he had happened to find a blue paisley fabric. It was exactly his style!]

This would make the most perfect waistcoat! A shame though...

Open Broadcast
[Of course here is Lord Akeldama and he has to make this a post. Why? Because he's showing off in a way. So he'd seen all of this about "ugly Christmas sweaters" which why would someone do that to themselves. But he had found something else and he was playing this off as if it is completely normal.

So Lord Akeldama is dressed in dark brown trousers, a sage green jacket, a rose gold cravat, and this vest as if it were a waistcoat. Nothing odd to see here, just a vampire in an ugly Christmas vest...]

This truly is a remarkable place. It has been so long since I've had the chance to visit a city such as this.

So what have been your favorite things to do here? I would like to know what all I have missed thus far.

Comments

[goldenglasses]

Thanks. For all of your help. I think this might really work out. [He was uncertain at first, but is feeling much better about it now.]

[eternallyoutrageous]

It is my pleasure, darling. I figure if I have the knowledge, why not share it.

[The employee is going to step away for the moment to figure out Vash's total so he can decide about the purchase]

If you need any more assistance with it, even after we leave this planet, I am Lord Akeldama, the communications specialist on the First Breath.

[goldenglasses]

Why would I need assistance after I buy it? [HE'S JUST GOING TO CRUMPLE IT UP IN HIS LOCKERS ONCE HE'S DONE AFTER ALL!]

[eternallyoutrageous]

[PLEASE DO NOT TELL THE VAMPIRE THAT! THAT'S A TRAVESTY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER TO DO THAT TO CLOTHES!]

In case you wanted another one at some point or another waistcoat.

[goldenglasses]

Oh. I suppose. Maybe. [He hadn't thought much past this one.] I guess I'll have to see how this date goes first.

[eternallyoutrageous]

Yes of course. See how it goes first. Hopefully it will go spectacularly.

[goldenglasses]

Thanks! I'm sure it will be fine! And thank you so much for your help! OH! I never got your name! [Vash holds out his hand for a shake.] I'm Vash.

[eternallyoutrageous]

You are most welcome, darling! It is a pleasure. I am Lord Akeldama.

[goldenglasses]

It was good to meet with you. Thank you for your help. [Vash will finish up his purchase and will likely head home shortly after.]
