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.
I think the duelling arena is finally clean enough to have my new sparring buddy over after someone, not naming names, Aurelia, trashed it
It looked like it was struck by a METEOR IN THERE I had to FIX THE CEILING
Can confirm, good beam I liked it
I would normally finish scrubbing by hand, but chicken noodle soup awaits. So clean beam.
Hm, cheating noted. uvo As a first offence there will be no consequences. Soup is ready when you are.
:(
Aurelia just comes and hands me a list when I get up, and then if I need more tasks I just follow her and start doing whatever she's doing
I mean it is less about the actual work, and more about it is nice to hang out and help my friends and get fruit preserves. Like I feel rewarded, yes. And I'm enjoying myself.
I am glad to hear. While I do not know if you were able to have breakfast, would you enjoy some chicken noodle soup for lunch? I heard some salted crackers are nice to dip in the broth, and wished to try it.
Let me just finish cleaning this hallway and then I'll be along
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

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.
D --> I wish it was #maidmonday again
Perhaps it would benefit you to arrange a 'maid month' of sorts?
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.
You get one (1) resurrection beam. Who are you using it on?
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.
