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.
