Who: Akeldama and you!
Broadcast: Fleet wide
Action: Planet side and First Breath
When: While on planet

Broadcast
[Look who finally made his way out of the ship and into the city. Of course its at night because that's the only time he can get out, when the sun goes down. Behind him is part of the underground city as he sits somewhere having a drink (it's some sort of alcohol, not the other thing)]

Now this is never something that I dreamed of seeing. The things I have seen.

[He says this dramatically, pulling out his fan and fluttering it like he might faint. He's not going to]

It does solve so many problems though with possibly being exposed to sunlight. A shame there aren't more. It truly, truly is.

Action
[Where can someone find Lord Akeldama in a place with so much to do. Shopping of course in perhaps a vain attempt to find something that would fit his particular style aesthetic.

Of course, prior to daylight hours, he must return to his ship, enjoying the space before it was time to sleep]

What's wrong with sunlight?

[eternallyoutrageous]

Well, you see, my darling, I can positively not stand it. Being a vampire, it is quite lethal.

[canofmanji]

Problem? With being exposed to sunlight? That's the stupidest thing I've heard of in awhile.

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose isn't eating with Akeldama, but she's eating near enough to him that she can hear him. Of course, this is an opportunity she can't resist.]

I've never known anyone so horrid that I could only bear to look at them at night. Of course, there's a first for everything.

[child_of_luv]

[STARE.]

You're a vampire?

[eternallyoutrageous]

[A smile]

Well, perhaps for you, darling. It is quite alarming to me. Vampires do quite have problems with the sun.

[eternallyoutrageous]

[He looks over when the young lady speaks to him]

I don't know that I have found anyone like that either, but it is unfortunate side effect of my state of being. Vampires are wholly unable to be exposed to sunlight so I can only see friend during the moonlight hours.

[eternallyoutrageous]

I am. One of the lucky few in the fleet.

[poisontippedcure]

Vampires? Truly?

[Call Rose surprised. She’d certainly heard of such creatures, but the tales she’d heard (and witnessed) were limited to voidsent.]

Perhaps I should start evacuating the cafe.

[eternallyoutrageous]

[Lord Akeldama waves his hand almost dismissively]

If you feel you must, but it is so uncivilized to just go around biting without permission. I am a gentleman and gentleman never feeds without the consent of the... donor. Besides, as unappetizing as it is, the Atroma have provided me with an adequate substitute.

[He takes out one of the capsules from his jacket pocket and shows it to her before putting it back.

Besides, how can you think a vampire in an lavender colored evening jacket and gold breeches is any sort of a threat]

[poisontippedcure]

The “donor.” That’s one way to phrase it, I suppose.

[Rose frowns again. The idea of the Atroma having enough blood on hand to give any vampire sustenance is...unsettling, to say the least. It could be something they created themselves, but more like than not...]

So, what are you doing here?

[canofmanji]

Hahahaha. Yeah. Sure you are.






...you are being sarcastic right?

[eternallyoutrageous]

It seems to be the best way to describe it. It's not the best. I would much prefer to have my droney-poos here, but that has not happened.

[It's not really blood. Just a blood substitute. Somehow it worked]

Enjoying the nightlife, darling. It is more exciting than on the ship.

[eternallyoutrageous]

No, dear, I am not. I am in fact a vampire.

[child_of_luv]

Lucky? {Minako tilted her head a little.] I guess you like being a vampire then?

[poisontippedcure]

Your...droney-poos? That must be one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard.

[Today, anyway. She hears stupid things on a pretty regular basis. But this might be a new low.]

I suppose I can't disagree with you there. It's certainly better on this planet than it is on the ships; not that it's a fair competition.

[eternallyoutrageous]

I do, darling, I do. The sun is but an inconvenience. Luckily, I don’t have to partake in my usual meal here. The Atroma have at the very least been accommodating with that.

[eternallyoutrageous]

[He's a fabulous vampire wearing lavender and gold. He regularly says ridiculous things]

Well, I do prefer more affectionate names, but otherwise they would simple be drones. I suppose the best description of them would be both patron and retainer.

So true, darling. So true. The ships simply cannot compare with this splendor.

But I should introduce myself. I am Lord Akeldama.

[canofmanji]

That's a terrible joke.






[...] There's no such things as vampires.





[...] No way that's true.

[child_of_luv]

Oh. Well, yes. That is a relief to hear.

[Minako chuckled a little nervously.]

I mean, we can't have random people getting turned into vampires or all of that, right?

[poisontippedcure]

A retainer, hm? I suppose they're different from the retainers I've employed, but it's easy enough to understand.

[She frowns. Rose isn't sure what to reply to; Akeldama is using a lot of superfluous language, and she's growing tired of it.]

Well met. You can call me 'Rose.' That should suffice.

[eternallyoutrageous]

[Lets him ramble a bit with a pleasant smile]

You can certainly keep telling yourself that, darling.

[But when he smiles again, it’s a bit wider, enough to see that two teeth are considerably longer than the surrounding ones]

[eternallyoutrageous]

You wouldn’t have to worry about such a thing from me whether I did feed or not. I have heard it is different elsewhere, but where I am from, only a queen is able to metamorphose new vampires. Queens can only be female so just on that, I am wholly incapable of changing someone.

[eternallyoutrageous]

I would suspect that they are. They aren't the usual servants from home either.

[Sorry, flowery language is his thing]

Well, well, it is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Rose.

[child_of_luv]

Oh.

Well, okay.

[Minako smiled a bit.]

Then good to know no one's going to get randomly fed on if you're needs are being met?
