Aurelia
@sunflowerGardens
You may call me Aurelia. Head Maid of House Dracula. I am here to annoy Velvet on purpose. She/Her. Owner of one 'Cheese Onion'. A cat. Named for resembling cheese and sleeping in my onion patch.
Sometimes I do wonder, what my parents were like. I wonder what they named me. A dhampire cannot be born by accident, so I must have been important to them.
I wonder if there is a 'maid' badge. I might enjoy it, should that be the case.
7ou’re sa7ing 7ou wish there was a maid badge made?
I am unaware of the extent of the badges available, but if you are aware, and know there to be a deficit of a maid badge, then I suppose it might be nice. However I would not wish to inconvenience anyone. I simply thought if it was available, it could be pleasant to be acknowledged as such.
oka7 well i was just making a dumb joke about maid and made being homophones but uh if 7ou want a badge made, 7ou mainl7 just get an image and ask @imjunior. there’s a queue, i think, but not reall7 an7 requirements be7ond an image, a title, and a des(ription

ehehe
oh well there 7ou go then. asked and answered
Today’s agenda shall begin with the laundry; collecting linens, sheets, and clothing, sorting them by fabric needs and colour, darks, and whites, so that there is no bleed between them. Then, I shall prepare breakfast for the household. While vampires tend to only drink blood, there are other things to consider, such as a preference for eating solid foods, or which flavour of blood is best chosen for this mornings meal. Today I have decided upon a rich but flavourful and deeply bloody meat, with hearts of the virtuous, joined by a pleasantly sweet blood wine. After that it is to iron and prepare the Lords clothing for the day; lacking a valet does make it quite improper, but I have done this work for many years and shall continue to do so. A bath must also be drawn, and the soaps chosen for each individual. Scent is an important part of vampiric culture, and should reflect ones station and position within the house. The kitchen must be cleaned and eating utensils polished while the house bathes. This shall allow for an easy and steady breakfast service, including the daily newspaper. While the house eats, I shall make the beds and coffins, and collect the sheets and nightwear discarded for tomorrows laundry. The rooms shall also be cleaned at this time; dusted, polished, and the floors swept and mopped. One must ensure that all parts of the room are cleaned, including the skirting boards, windows, and curtains. The bathrooms shall be next, similarly with the bedroom, towels shall be collected, and the surfaces cleaned and polished, dusted, swept and mopped. It is important that the scent of the resident is not too badly disrupted, or else it may cause discomfort, which is a dreadful thing to impose upon a guest. Then of course, the rest of the castle must be done in a similar manner. Windows polished and cleaned, curtains dusted or washed, walls scrubbed, floors swept and mopped, until the castle is positively sparkling. Next is of course, the care of animals and plantlife. The horses should be groomed, fed, and checked over. Their hooves, mane, tail, and coat should always remain in pristine condition, and their saddles, reigns, and tack should all be checked and treated to ensure upkeep. The crops and orchards shall be watered, weeded, and checked for parasites, disease, or growing mould that may cause issue at a later date. Any ripe fruits and vegetables shall be harvested, and moved swiftly to the pantry for any necessary treatment or preservative measures. Finally, the waste shall be dealt with, and a list made for the markets. There of course will always be more to do than the daily routine, but the concept is what is most important. I shall see you all once my work is done once more. uvu #gore #blood
I’ve got the garden and the animals, as always. I think Lucian mentioned we’re doing a church raid later but I can get this shit done first xoxo
Thank you my dear. Your expertise is always appreciated, especially when the thralls may as well be decorative.
I would feel terrible stealing workers from the local farmlands for our own benefits. But if you are able to take any who seem to be struggling under their mortal Lord... we are running a touch low on their stock, so to speak.
Cheese Onion strikes again... I shall have to go to the market.
Perhaps I should attempt to use a beam attack myself. Although I am only really talented in lightning and necromantic magic...
!!!! Practice on me I mean with me I mean
Alright.... horrifying nightmare 7 gigajoule lightning beam attack!
There's really something here. Windmill later?
I would hate to damage the structure; we have a duelling arena perfectly suited for these things.
Yeah. Yeah Yeah Yeah. Fuck yes.
Unfortunately I do believe Lord Lucian is going to adore the beam attack added to the castle... well, that is an issue to deal with at a later date. I shall begin remodelling Miss Velvet and Sir Chao's bedroom as soon as Doku falls asleep for her nap.
Can I help with anything else? I'm not really gonna sleep during this nap, so...
If you could simply ensure little miss Doku does not attempt to do some marauding if she wakes? She has been quite enthusiastic about telling people to, 'puttem up', lately.
I can do that, yes.
Thank you, Sir Kris. Your help has been most wonderful and appreciated these past few days.
I'm delighted to! I am having a very good time hanging out.
Perhaps I should take a small vacation. I hear Northern Mir is lovely this time of year.
We would be pleased to host you, if you wish.
I shall have to confer with Lord Lucian, of course, but it is always an honour to be in your presence Grand Princess.
Of course. I will write a formal letter of invitation if it would help.
I am certain that any expression of goodwill shall go over smoothly, Grand Princess. Thank you for your consideration and kindness, as ever.
I must say, when it comes to the most vulnerable of our group, it must be said. I would pity anyone who tried to kidnap Doku.
You know. I do not believe I have ever heard of a vampire being abducted. Miss Velvet, have you?
Oh they must have been so young to not be able to turn! Silver is painful, but usually you are able to negate it... oh, how awful. Where was their sire?
What arcane magics negated their abilities? Oh they must have been so frightened, being so young and captured like that...
Different type of vampire. They just ended up with more bat like-like hands and I think wings. And the common stuff like strength speed and fast healing with blood consumption I think. I dunno. They were an idiot and turned their sister who in turn was a wild fledgling who tried to tear my throat out, but. I think they're all doing better now. #violence
Uhh. Guy was on a different world I think I forget if it was a vampire from their world or another they were visiting while hanging with friends. It was a whole thing. The lot of us did a lot of world hopping
Wild, that's... around here if you can't turn into /something/ that can fly there's something seriously wrong with you Glad they're doing better at least, damn
Indeed... even I was able to turn into a bat by the age of thirty, and I am merely a dhampire.
Yeah, it's a whole mess. I'm just glad I didn't turn myself.
D --> Mine
Oh, I am so sorry. It is dreadful to have your work used against you like that. My sympathies.
Despite Kris' best efforts it does seem that I still have work to attend to. Although I do believe I shall have enough time this evening to play my harp once more. Provided Cheese Onion does not attempt to mimic my efforts...
Oh, bother. I hope you have time to practice!
Lately I admit it has been quite irritating. Everyone and their mother has found someone to dance the midnight tango with, and I have yet to find a SINGLE man over 8ft muscular with luscious hair who would slam me into a wall. My standards cannot possibly be too high.
Cheese Onion has been very spoiled as of late. That being said I am not banning him from bedtime. He enjoys the coffin cuddles, and so do I.
You could of course, have this uniform presented in a more tantalizing manner, but I shall not be doing that.
If you are genuinely curious as to the uniform of House Dracula, this is it. https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/12ae37837511.png
Where did you get this done on such short notice
Oh, Priestess Neith passed me by at the dock market. Apparently she is on her way to see her granddaughter. But she was content to take a moment to quickly sketch something for me.
Oh, very nice.
I could never emphasise my own breasts in my uniforms, mind you. If they were any bigger I think people would be worried for my health.
print("in that case i apologise for my ignorance") print("i will try to be more learned on topics like this soon")
Oh there is no need to apologise. I hear that maids as a service are not as common with trolls, is it to be expected. I do not mind any questions either, of course. Though I admit I am not a very good teacher.
If you slap my breasts one more time to see them bounce I'm telling Lord Lucian that you're not actually hunting when you go to take a nap in the forest.
I did that exactly once because you said, quote, "do you think this supportive garment is working I worry I'm going to bounce out of it"
It was a question that did not need a physical answer. Also they were quite sensitive and it hurt. :(
I was not going to answer when I didn't know for sure Also don't act like you're innocent I know you did NOT need to be that thorough in your "measurements" last month
I do not know what you are talking about your nipple size is most paramount to accurate shirt sizing.
I would never abuse my position to feel up a beautiful woman. That would be terribly improper. uvu
My magnum opus of those uniforms was absolutely the slutty leather heartshaped corset top. The boning was placed to specifically emphasise the breasts. uvu
I loveeee that thing it makes me feel so hot and evil
You look hot and evil. It's very you, and it rarely takes issue with the amount of gore you consume.
Exactly, platonic ideal of a shirt for me And ever since we altered the new version to accommodate spiral lacing it's been comfy as hell
Master Azazel would fit right in to this community I'm realising. And worrying.
Successfully made the three maid dresses in the correct sizes. Hopefully Chao does not fight the new uniform. While Velvet will get him into it, it is keeping him in it that I suspect shall be the issue.
Wait. Perhaps if I offer a maid dress as part of the uniform then workers shall not be an issue?
I have missed having a proper group of maids. Do you believe Kris would be willing to wear one?
Oh 100% would I know him especially if you take pictures for his wife
Yes
Please give me your measurements, I shall begin sewing immediately.
Maid dress Monday..? But I am always wearing a maids dress....
