Eric's House

Meanwhile at Eric's House

Chloe,Lyra Vander and Kraven prepare for Eric's arrival

{As himself and Eric approach the mansion, Shad whistles in awe.} Whoo-wee— that’s a nice house.

we walk up the hill behind the guild and on top is a big old creepy house we approach the house and the doors are old dark oak with big skull knockers Thank you thank you it cost about 10,000 but I can't take all the credit my family helped pay for it.

{He scratches his chin.} They come from wealth?

yes we all do except lyra who was raised as a street kid fighting and stealing to survive don't talk about it in front of her she hate's being reminded

I can understand why. I came— come from nothing. {He spits on the ground as they walk.} A struggle; day in and day out.

I'm sorry to hear that as they enter lyra rushes the door and gets supper hyper (lyra) Hi Hi HI so nice to meet you I'm Lyra who are you ?

{Shad’s eyebrow ridges rise.} Name’s Shadzaar, but call me ‘Shad’.

(lyra) Thank you shad giggles and run's

{He shakes his head in disbelief.} I feel like I’ve met someone like her, but can’t remember where…

(Eric) That went really well smiles you have ? who ?

{He narrows his eyes in thought; their crimson peaking out, as if shy.} Uhhh… hold on, lemme think.

(Eric) Oh yeah I see it yeah A strong tall man approaches in a fancy suit (Vander) Hello shad may I interest you in some refreshments ? He says in a deep voice

{He glances up in surprise.} Woah… you’re a big one. Oh, yeah I’ll take some refreshments, thanks.

He smiles Your welcome walks away

{Savours the treat.} Mmm, you know, there’s something I don’t get.

What ?

{He takes another bite. He then gestures to the treat with his pinky.} Food. How come we can still eat it? And taste it?

I don't know

Huh, pretty cozy. {Slowly, he does a full turn; admiring the architecture and interior decor.}

DM NOTE!!! You can consume food, even taste it, however it provides no sustinance, It can stave off cravings for a little while but that's all. It literally dissentigrates inside you, And in extreme cases can act as a mild poison if you consume too much food in lue of blood.

i ment on avove vtt

I know what you meant. But i'm not switching maps for everyone all the time.

k

In walks a blue haired lady hotter then sun it's self (Chloe) Oh hello there shad right ? I'm Chloe Eric's first wife sticks out hand

{He returns the hand shake, but in that guy-ish way.} Yep, a pleasure.

Behind her is a little gnome (Chloe) Thank you She blushes It seems like everyone like's you I hope we get to see you more often

Well, {he gently punches Eric’s shoulder.} iff’n me and Eric here can set things up, I’ll be moving in. {Crossing his arms, he shifts his stance to be more comfortable.} I figured since we’re both part of the Fang Gang, we could benefit from living in the same house.

Oh. Just remembered to mention this. You need to change your character design.

She look's at Eric (Chloe) Please babe Puppy eyes (Eric) I already said yes and you know I cant say no to you when you do that She yelps in joy and goes to prepare stuff for you Gnome is standing in the hall writing in a book keeping a little bit of himself out of site

Where’s she off to?

If had to guess she is most likely getting your bed set up and also most likely collecting things for you and her to do together she wants to get to know you better basically

Oh… {His pale green lips part in a small smile.} I’ll spend time with her, in return for her and the other’s open welcoming.

Eric smiles and blushes for a short second I'm glad you all are getting along

Oh yeah, that reminds me. {He turns to better face Eric.} Don’t drink over vamp blood. {He blanches.} It’s foul.

Ok (Lyra) HI SHAD ! she smiles brightly I have something for you she hands you a drawing of you and her in the garden dancing it's well detailed and it looks like a true artist painted it

{Shad tenderly takes the drawing into his own grasp.} It’s… wow. Thank you. {He offers a smile; his fangs peaking out a bit.}

she smiles brightly I'm so glad you like it

I’ll hang it up in my future room. {He folds, then tucks it snugly into his trouser pocket.}

she hugs you then runs to sit by the gnome

{He slips his hands into the safety of his pockets.} So, you got any blood stashed? I’ve been thinking of paying some of the folk in the Hall to donate. You know, so I can bottle it and have Fernessa carry it in the ring.

yes I have a blood fountain in the throne room

{His brows raise.} A *fountain*? Like, a whole fountain?

Yes

You gonna stand here or show it to me? {He grins, sticking his forked tongue out.}

He takes your hand and leads to the throne room* Here we are I spend most of my time in here

{Shad notes this action, and is surprisingly not uncomfortable.}

well what do you think ?

That’s… woah. {He tilts his head.} How’d you go about getting this?

my father had an extra

How’s it work?

you push the symbol he pushes it

{Shad watches with curiosity.}

the fountain lights go red and blood poors from the small holes on the side

{He dips a claw into one of the streams.} And it’s real? Not magic?

100% real blood

That’s… just… wow. {He licks the blood from his finger.}

yeah I know it's sweet

Kinda… crisp? Like, warm, fresh fruit?

yeah sorta

{He leans down, lapping at the flowing, crimson essence. Once he has his fill, he straightens back up.} That’s defin— {he cuts his words off to catch a drop of blood that nearly escaped him.} Definitely useful to have.

Indeed

{He wipes his lips with his pointer finger.} So, you got a lounge in here?

the gnome is standing in the hall watching you while also keeping his distance lounge ?

Like, a common room.

we were just in it

Oh… {He rubs the back of his neck.} I guess that makes more sense. {He gestures towards the doorway.} We gonna sit in there after you drink?

He walks into the hall and goes into the living room he calls for Chloe and she sits next to him he takes a drink from her neck and then he says What do you want to talk about ?

Oh nothing, honestly. Just… winding down before bed. {He relaxes into the couch. He even man-spreads, which he rarely gets comfortable enough to do.}

He realizes that you are supper comfortable and he smiles at that fact dinner should be done soon

Like, regular food?

Yes why ?

{He looks lost in thought for a moment.} It’s for your partners, right? We can eat food, just… not much of it.

yes its mostly for my lovers

{He nods his head; realisation dawning upon him.} Got it. Just checking.

yes go ahead

{His posture shifts, and he Leans forward. His elbows, against his knees, support his upper body.} How old are you? Old old? Or *Old old*?

He looks at you and smirks I'm 1800 years old

{His jaw nearly bounces off the floor.}

what do you mean ?

Are they vampires too?

Alot of them yes

Is your family, like… super old, or something?

Yes I'm a direct descendent from straud

The first of us, right?

Yeah

Oh yeah, I have another question. {Claws find chin, as he habitually scratches there.}

yes ?

Since he made a deal with an entity, he’s a pureblood, yeah?

I think so

Huh… {He has the face of someone who’s connection dots. Or he thinks he is.} So— and bear with me for a moment— I made a deal with… well I guess he was a demon. {He points to himself.} It’s how I got like this.

I don't know but I do know I'm a pureblood

{Shad let’s put a massive yawn.} Whoo— I’m gonna hit the hay. Uh, which room is mine?

He stands up and shows you to the bedroom and points at one of the beds Chloe and Lyra are sleeping in the main master bed already so if you want you can merge there beds for tonight he climbs into bed and falls asleep in the middle of the girls

{Swirling with a new emotion he can’t place, Shad crawls into bed. He eventually finds sleep. He’s happy to know another vampire who isn’t aloft.}
