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...

[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.

I would conclude based on the trouble that I had finding a schedule upon arrival that the lack of physical sunlight means there is no danger of being awake at the wrong time on a ship. But yes, I do still need to take sunrise and sunset into consideration on the planet. I would not wish to chance it.

Well, if there’s ever anything you need for me to do for you when you’ve got to sleep or avoid the light, please let me know. I would be happy to help.

( Sansa does mean it, too. She doesn’t want Akeldama to risk himself as she’s grown fond of him even in this short time. )

[eternallyoutrageous]

Oh, my dear jicama, that is most generous. I appreciate the offer very much. It can be so very tedious when one only has certain hours one can be out. I will let you know if I need something of the like.

And please, if there is anything I can assist with, do not hesitate to ask.

[theladyofwinterfell]

I will be certain to keep it in mind. For now, though, I do very much enjoy your company so I think that will be payment enough. It's been such a long time since I've had people I can just...be myself around. That is more precious than gold to me.

[eternallyoutrageous]

Oh, I'm so glad! I am enjoying yours as well, my lady. I would never try to change who someone is or wants to be. I am hardly one to speak of it.

[Says the flamboyant vampire who is carrying a folding fan in his jacket pocket only because he can use it to be dramatic]

[theladyofwinterfell]

( Sansa grins at him, unable to be anything but light-hearted in the presence of such a bright person. It seems almost a waste that he cannot be awake during the day, as cheery as Akeldama seems to be. )

Well, then we are of an accord: neither of us will change one bit.

[eternallyoutrageous]

[He does make it hard when he is so cheerful. Of course having a young lady willing to put up with his frivolity also helped. There were some who merely only tolerated it]

Of course, darling! Now, we should really see about finding accessories sometime. Especially when you make that blue dress.
