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.
After I collapsed into my coffin last morning, I had a nightmare of being employed as a cleaner for a dentist, but the garden was overrun with black widows the size of my torso. I do not like what it implies.
Pious Pastries are worth burning for, to be perfectly honest with you. The soft, warm and puffy fried dough, the soft and sweet powdered sugar, and sweet and juicy fruit preserves stuffed inside. It is cranberry season, and as such so is the filling. I am excited for the winterberry season.
I do not know why some dislike sleeping in coffins. It is a pleasant and constant darkness, and blocks out much noise. It is always insulating, whether it be for warmth, or for cold, and does not permit for overexertion with movement in sleep. #mybox
Cheese Onion has learnt meat decimation barrage beam. Sir Kris will be getting a stern talking to.
He's over at Cheila's. I'll grab the mortar and stuff for the damage.
It could be worse. A pantry is a maids treasure room, you know.
I have been considering it as of late. Perhaps, I should have something, outside of my practical clothing..? But, it may not be proper for a maid.
Ah, no, no. I have casual clothes, it is that they are too, practical in nature. My dresses are designed for easy movement, and horse riding. I was thinking more... decorative, I suppose.
Not fancy! That would be terribly improper. Or, at least, not as fancy as you are likely thinking...
It would be horribly humiliating were I to be more elegant than the Lords I serve. Which, is admittedly, easier to do as a woman, and not someone who is around 7ft tall.
I think even if you can't always WEAR the very elegant thing, you could probably have it anyways, right?
I could not ever wear it, so long as I am considered a common woman.
You could wear it! I think. I think there could be excuses made for you to wear it. But I won't press you on it- I think you should get to have something elegant and that yes you should go shopping or make something.
Peace love tranquillity I am calm rational and mature and will not absolutely blow up over something small and inconvenient.
I do not want a sibling. I especially do not want another sibling through Master Azazel's haphazard adoption. Someone with more power than me please step in.
Those Paladins cannot mind their own business for love nor money. My lungs hurt terribly from all their use of fire and smoke.
NOT A BIG FAN OF THE PALADINS. NOT A BIG FAN.
Perhaps I should indulge in some more blood. Over the summer I have been attempting to stick to animal blood, but now that the weather has turned and autumn is here...
I mean once in a while, maybe. Also like. I guarantee if you ask on here like four people will leap at the opportunity to feed you.
Perhaps, but it would be terrible if I drank from someone and their blood was.......... unpleasant.
That's fair. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you get your fill of delicious, nourishing blood.
This is a relief, I admit. I was unsure of how well I would be able to maintain all of our new facilities alone, during the stocking season. With harvest comes preserving, and with preserving comes a great deal of finding out what we are low on, and when we will need to acquire it to ensure we are ready for winter.
Do you think I would be able to take these robots apart? I have always been fascinated by the internal mechanisms of anything that functions inorganically. Although... perhaps it would place me too similar to Master Azazel and his operating table...
@malleablePersonage has sent a letter, reading; "What is your weapon of choice?" Hello Sir Kris, a pleasure to receive a letter from you. My primary weapon is a rapier, although I keep many daggers on my person in order to ensure my ability to defend the house from any invaders. Similarly, I possess a pair of pistols. The rapier is preferred, if only for its distance and elegance.
Excellent. I shall have to get you cleared for sparring sometime, I could use some work with the sword.
I am admittedly more reliant on my magic. A maid should rarely be covered in blood, after all.
Perhaps not yet; I do not think Miss Velvet has forgiven me for our last spar.
@craftsmanToxophilite has sent a letter, reading; "8=l < How have the chickens been enjoying their saddles 8=l < Have you found any riders able to mount such tiny steeds?" It is a pleasure to hear from you again. They have been enjoying your work with great enthusiasm, and many have come to show off their decor to the cockerels. It is very cute how much they preen within them. And although I cannot prove it, due to their nature, I believe some of the fae have been taking advantage of the saddles. I have begun leaving butter and cream out for them accordingly.
8=l < Ah, your chickens are smart 8=l < All men love a good show of leatherwork 8=l < The cockerels will be properly wooed
Indeed they are greatly intelligent. Keeping them separate has become increasingly difficult, but it is of no real issue. We do not require the amount of eggs they produce, and while lucrative to take excess to market, I believe many at the market will enjoy additional chickens within the community, for one reason or another.
I am inclined to think this is a poor idea. However, I similarly cannot think of a reason to not. https://forms.gle/pR9EjQiPDVsex5Dd7
At times I am curious if people would care to send me those questioning letters to me. And then I recall that Miss Velvet is already a central line into the world of Vampirism, and I am reassured that it is not necessary for the two of us to speak on it.
Apparently I'm "bad for the brand" though so maybe you SHOULD
Miss Velvet if you are 'bad for the brand' I cannot imagine what nightmare situation I would create.
Perhaps, but it mi hey did you just feel that. I felt the universe shift with something horrible.
Oh, if you open one I am sure you will get questions sometimes when you promote it. That could be fun!
The strangest urge to take a sudden and immediate vacation in a location to which it is hard to locate me and harder to get to.
There are other Draculas? Maybe we can experience luck for once. Please do not be Lord Lucian's father PLEASE do not be Lord Lucian's father we do not need that manner of stress and negativity in our lives.
