I RETURN

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

i know you all missed me. i know you did. oh stop, you'll make me blush~

(i can too blush. ;p)

i have been, my friends, on a marvellous vacation. i went back to my native territory of emilia-romagna, and ate a lot of pastries. from there i visited austria (they have parties for mozart!) and poland and hungary and then, yes, parts east, because - well, i keep my ear to the ground more oft than not. it's prudent. the rumour mill was spinning rather madly, and i decided to see if i could unearth the truth behind the tales -

(certain old bats dislike staying dead - )

- it seems to be stories only now. 'now' being the operative word. there was a bit of an oddment with a fellow who claimed to be the old bat, but wasn't really, i think he was some manner of phantasm - either way a decent sort once you got past the gesticulation and yammering on and ceremonial bollocks that most wraiths must go through. song and dance, song and dance. he looked as bored by it as i felt, poor fellow.

but i digress!

rumours or no - do please warn me if you note anything amiss? there may be an ill wind blowing - or I may just be downwind of someone wearing too much cheap cologne. we shall see in time, i suppose.

...i hate wating. D: stupid old bat.

So...in your world, the voivode Vlad III Tepes and the mythical/folkloric vampire Dracula, as described by Bram Stoker, are indeed one and the same?

How fascinating! I knew not that such places existed, but then - more things in heaven and earth, et cetera...

--!

you. argh. argh! you - !

do you ever --

agh!

noli nomen vocare; ille iterum veniet.

unbury him not with a careless word, dammit all, you - polysyllabic dandelion seed!

[ooc:Wait I thought the Dracula in Castlevania was just some guy that somehow gained omnipotent powers through prayer to dark gods or some bullshit like that. *goes to check again*]

Oh, no; not AGAIN.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

YES AGAIN.

you feel it too, don't you? you - you feel it coming nearer and your flesh is warned and thrilled by some enormous hostile force behind and your stomach turns and your hair feels wild and you really really wish you knew a prayer to st. george because here be dragons.

sono nella merda, belmont.

[ceruleanscion.livejournal.com]

Calm down, Laforeze! I don't like when you get that - wordity.

Breathe? I've got brandy in the shed if you need that, though I'm afraid of what you'd be like drunk. Either way, take it if you need it: come by, I'll make tea, and I'll get something for you to eat, bcause you're still a twig. We'll work out a plan, just in case.

You don't need to go yowling to St. Jude like a wet cat just yet.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

'wordity' is not a word.

and i drank all the brandy last time, nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh.

[ceruleanscion.livejournal.com]

Don't tongue at me, you - twitfox. Blegh, that really looks lecherous.

Furthermore; Ho ho ho, you only THINK you know about all the brandy.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

i daresay you're trying to be sneaky, belmont.

i do too know about all of it, i found the one under the potatoes.

[ceruleanscion.livejournal.com]

The one under the potatoes?

Oh Laforeze, you're funny.

>:D

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

stop trying to be all evil. you're too cute for it to work.

[ceruleanscion.livejournal.com]

Cute!?

i - oh gah. Quit that!

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

cute cute cute cute cute, and you sounded like a naughty schoolboy when you claimed you were the king of the castle and that the young master was the dirty rascal. ;p

[ceruleanscion.livejournal.com]

I miss Alucard; is he well?

...Okay, so I can't manage diabolical, mephistophelean evilism on par with - that individual, but who in heaven's name else CAN, I'd like to know.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

your matriarch!

sorry. sorry sorry. it just slipped out.

[ceruleanscion.livejournal.com]

Damn your nose, Laforeze, I've got tea in my hair now from - ! Argh.

You, sir, are daft. And hilarious.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

You know, this community actually has a surprising lack of vampires since Lestat left.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

i'm only sort of one...? eugh, i do hope the old chiropteran twit stays AWAY, i've had more than my fill of him, enough for three or so lifetimes...

...and i'm rather glad lestat is gone, from what i know of him he is a whinging ponceberry.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

An obnoxious one, at that. He used more sparkletext than I do!

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

egad.

i admit I use it but only to drive people mad. and then i get to watch it. in glorious mad-o-vision! ♥

...thank you, by the by, this is helping!

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

That's the proper way to use sparkletext. ♥

Aww, but helping isn't what I do. D: not even with the demon hunting, that's just to make a little cash, keep my skills up.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

well, you are anyway. nyeh nyeh, i win.

or something to that effect.

either way, you are a marvellous and scintillating presence, milady, and i'm grateful, so i shall be very very italianate and schmoop at you, thus:

&hearts:&hearts:&hearts:&hearts:&hearts:&hearts:&hearts:&hearts:&hearts:

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you. I'd say don't let Marluxia see that lest he get a little possessive, but I don't think that's an issue right now.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

well then he is a giant twit. ;p

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Very true.

You know, if you weren't flamingly gay I'd swear you were flirting with me. ♥

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

i really am terribly apparent regardless of what i do, ah well! :3

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever seen a man use so many hearts in one comment. Except maybe Maraich... But then again, he's easily mistaken for a woman.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

i can pass as a woman if i wear the right dress. ;p

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I know. XD How many people at the wedding actually thought you were?

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

i don't know. i ought to have asked. :( but i was having such a good time i forgot to.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Glad someone was. I'm surprised Lady didn't shoot me~

[lonely-memories.livejournal.com]

I think during one of the viruses this boy thought he was Dracula. That was a long time ago, though, and I don't think he posts here anymore.

((... Nami kind of info-modes doesn't she.))

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

sometimes the old man will possess a worthy or appropriate vessel. it's happened to me, though i was only the second choice. bleh.

[lonely-memories.livejournal.com]

Could be, all I really know of him is that he was one of B's victims last year.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

whoever he was and whatever his circumstances - that information is valuable to me. i thank you kindly, singiorina. ♥

[lonely-memories.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I don't remember his name. I was part of the investigation, but more as the worldhopper and bringer of cookies. L would have the information.

You're very welcome. I try to be helpful.

[ceruleanscion.livejournal.com]

If you give him cookies, miss, he'll never go away. He's not unlike cats. :)

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

ignore this belmont, for he is too fluffy to be believed.

er.

yes. er. you are helpful, miss, and i am grateful.

[lonely-memories.livejournal.com]

He's a friend of yours? :)

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

sort of? more an impromptu caregiver of a nosy parker hero - thing. who is fluffy.

[robot-cait.livejournal.com]

It's amazing how refreshing a vacation can be. I'd almost forgotten that myself.

[lasiurusrubedo.livejournal.com]

it was indeed. silly cursity people aside, i had a wonderful time.

[robot-cait.livejournal.com]

I went to visit some friends of mine a little while ago... it reminded me that perhaps I should spend less time in the office.

[gurrenlagann.livejournal.com]

... Uh, hi? It sounds like you had fun on your vacation. ^^

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

I've see you've returned, Devil Forge Master. So, did you take care of that old bat?
