Trapped in Night Eternal

To lack sight heightens the senses that remain. My sight may be gone, but it is the price I pay for the light of day. You may call me Angelus. [[This is an Independent Vampire RP Blog. Angelus will interact with characters from any fandom or other OCs. Occasionally NSFW.]] FC is Valery Kovtun.

What is a date night with you like?

Admittedly, I have not had a long term partner in…well, more time than I would care to admit, but when I decide to woo someone and the interest is mutual…

If I am the one who is in charge of said date, a date with me is quite…personal to the person I am wooing.

I may be a little out of touch, at times, but I am a thoughtful, considerate man.

I try to plan such a venture around an interest of the person I am taking out, even better if that involves my learning or experiencing something new, which I always enjoy, as I can hear the other person speaking about something they greatly enjoy.

I pay close attention to the interests and desires of others I am drawn to.

I apologise for not giving specifics, but as I said, a date with me is a personalised.

[weinviertler]

You're not out of touch.

You're an old romantic. It's charming, promise.

[angelustheancient]

Perhaps not with romance. But with other things, perhaps.

Mmm, is that so? And is that what you would like? For me to romance you?

//And here he is! Meet Casimir!! Go talk to him!

[angelustheancient]

[voice message] I'm going to be there in about half an hour! You wanna come pick me up? Sorry it took longer than planned, the daylight is a real bitch sometimes.

[voice message] See you soon!

[voice message] Hektor and I were already out, so that gives us the perfect amount of time to reach you in the car. Obviously, I am not driving.

[voice message] You will have to tell me how the daylight effects you. Some breeds of our kind seem to be a bit different.

[voice message] See you soon.

Angelus had Hektor wrap up the errands rather quickly so that they had enough time to get to the small port of Amoudi Bay where the ferry would be docking. He had requested to accompany the man because he wasn’t exactly sure when Florian would arrive, given various factors with transportation like trains and ferries. When they arrived, Angelus exited the car and made his way to the slip. As he walked, local passersby greeted him politely, and he smiled and greeted them back. (Tourists usually gawked, but he ignored them until they spoke to him directly.) Once he reached his destination, he sat one of the large rocks there, waiting patiently as he listened for the telltale sound of a motor and water splashing against the sides of the boat.

When he heard it approaching, he stood up and grinned, clearly excited for Florian’s arrival. The pale, tall ancient was known to locals, but it didn’t prevent him from standing out like a sore thumb among the others that were waiting

[weinviertler]

[voice message] I'm going to be there soon so I'll keep an eye out. As for daylight? ... I dunno. I always kind of assumed it was a no-go so I've never once tried to test it.

[voice message] See you so soon!

As the boat pulled up, Florian grabbed his stuff and hopped off the boat. It was super easy to find Angelus - of course it was. He did rather stand out. Not just because of his looks but his aura too. There was just something about him. Florian assumed he did not have any kind of aura so he called out loudly to alert Angelus.

"Hey! Angelus! It's me, Flo. Good to see you again!"

[angelustheancient]

At the sound of Florian’s voice, Angelus’ grin grew even larger. He carefully and confidently walked to him, the few people around him getting out of his way as he approached the other man.

“Hello, Florian,” he said, holding is hands out to the other. He’d have to ask if he preferred Florian or Flo. “I am happy that you are here.”

“I listened to your last voice messages just before getting out here. We can speak about that when we are not in mixed company. Hektor has the car waiting for us. Did you need assistance with your bags?“

[weinviertler]

"Nah, I got it." Florian didn't really have much, he packed light for the benefit of easy travel. He didn't like messing around with luggage, even if vampirism had given him a considerably better core and muscle strength. Somehow. He wasn't entirely sure why he was feeling the best he ever felt since he died but he supposed that was just a fun little perk.

"Thanks again for picking me up." He looked at Angelus and took in the sight of him, up close and personal, unable to believe a guy like that invited him somewhere this beautiful.

Maybe he should be on alert. It could be a trap. They were vampires - maybe they should be more devious or something? He wasn't sure. "I can't wait to see the place. Like I said, I'm used to apartment city living, much less beautiful."

[angelustheancient]

“Ah, yes, of course,” Angelus’ said as his hands fell back to his sides. Even if Florian didn’t bring much, the blonde was attempting to be a good host by offering. Gentlemanly, even. He didn’t read into the refusal either. Younger people often denied assistance, as he had learned.

“You’re most welcome. There is a cab one can take, but I wouldn’t dream of making you pay for such service when you have already bought train and ferry tickets to get here. Besides, this allows for even more time in each other’s company,” Angelus explained smiling serenely as he felt the other’s eyes on him. “Come, the car is this way.”

As they walked up the path back to where Hektor was waiting, the local people around them greeted Angelus politely and by name but also kept out of his path so as not to obstruct the way. No one seemed afraid of them or even suspicious. “The whole town is beautiful. The air is as clean as it can be, given the use of cars and other motorized vehicles here. My home has a wonderful view of the bay, not that I can appreciate it properly, but I do love standing out on the patio and enjoying the nice winds, or just floating in the small pool I have out there. I do hope you enjoy your time here.”

When they came up on the vehicle, a man with salt and pepper hand was waiting for them, leaning against the passenger door facing them. His skin was very tan from being out in the sun most of his life, and it showed the signs of age that any man nearing his fifties might have. At the sight of them he broke into an amused grin, popping the trunk of the car with a click of the key fob as he opened the passenger door for the two of them. “Close the trunk after you’ve stowed your belongings,” the older man directed at Florian, appearing completely unbothered by the two Vampires as he then got into the front seat of the car and cranked the engine.

“Florian, this is Hektor, my caretaker, housekeeper, assistant, and friend. He is rushing us because his wife made fresh baklava tonight.”

[angelustheancient]

What do you understand of what Florian teaches?

Anthropology, if I recall, which is the scientific study of humanity. I am sure he has a more specific specialization, but I am, at present unaware of what that is.

I am no expert in that field other than what I have witnessed of the human experience as much as I am able to observe. I’d be most glad to hear him speak about it and learn what he is obviously passionate about…

Now that I think about it, what a perfect subject for a Vampire. We are long lived and that’s perfect for studying humanity.

And perhaps other Vampires, so long as he is careful.

@weinviertler

[weinviertler]

It is pretty neat how it lined up. Being a vampire, getting to experience history and watch people evolve and grow. Watch Vampires evolve and grow too.

I'll tell you more about my field and PHD research later when you think I'm hot and are 100% into me. Then even when you're bored, you can just appreciate my sexy voice.

[angelustheancient]

Florian, have I lead you to believe that you speaking about your field of study and research would make you less attractive to me? I guarantee you, it will not.

[angelustheancient]

//I’m developing a new OC right now that I reaaaaaallly think people will enjoy, and I want to get him up and running tonight but I still have to find a faceclaim and get his page built out. I haven’t MADE a tumblr in like a decade.

//It also doesn’t help that I’m exhausted.

[angelustheancient]

What is your ideal way to have company in your immortality?

To have company? As in a visitor to my home? Or a more long term companion?

Well, first, to simply spend time with them. To talk.

Perhaps go on a walk, see the sights. Although I may not be able to appreciate such things properly, they can.

The rest will depend on the company I am keeping.

[angelustheancient]

Would you ever join a coven? How do you feel about them?

What is the human phrase? Been there, done that?

I spent my formative years as a fledgling in a coven. I don’t know that I wish to repeat the experience.

Any more than three, perhaps four Vampires living in a singular location is inviting trouble in various forms.

[angelustheancient]

Would you if you could?

I…I don’t know.

I worry they’d end up rather isolated, like me.

And furthermore, I am unsure if my lack of sight would…be part of the turning.

[angelustheancient]

Do you have fledglings?

No.

I have only attempted once, and it ended very poorly. Based on my own accidental turning, I think it is very difficult for my breed of Vampire to sire progeny.

[angelustheancient]

Do you feel like a parent or a friend to your younger friends

I suppose that depends entirely on the friend in question. At present, however, I don’t feel any particular fatherly feelings towards any of them.

CALLING ALL CURIOUS ANONS!

Send me a question you have always wanted to know about my muse.

[trxstesse]

🕰️

Send 🕰️ for my muse to talk about something that's been on their mind for a long time.

"Do we have to have rules to immortality? If it's not hurting anything outside of our feedings - what does it matter? It only further sets divides between words and I find it unfair. Ghosts can walk about as they please with seemingly no consequence or bother to anyone. So why not us? My night friends don't see a difference between me and their mortal friends. At the end of the day I'm human."

[angelustheancient]

“There are rules to keep the worst of Immortals in check, Antoine. While I do not follow or agree with all of the supposed rules put forth by your people, I do have my own set of personal rules I have set for myself. These rules exist not necessarily to control or limit, but to protect not just humans, but all Immortals, to keep us hidden from those that would cause us harm.”

“I believe an Immortal can tell select humans of our existence as you have, and as I have, but the fact of the matter is that humanity at large is simply not ready to know us yet. Some are, yes, but until we are sure that most of us will not either be tracked down and killed or experimented on in some laboratory the moment we reveal ourselves to the masses, then it is best we have rules.”

“Also, ghosts are largely incorporeal and unable to be seen or heard, unless they choose to be.” Humans often tried to explain away ghosts, too. Vampires were a little harder to explain away when faced with one.

Song Title: The Book of Love

//The Magnetic Fields song? Interesting suggestion! Though I’m curious how it reminds you of Angelus? I only know about that song from my friends who have performed it at ren faires.

[angelustheancient]

;; he would have to say Willow by Kamelot. The lyrics feel old in a youthful way and it reminds him of Angelus. The lyrics themselves of stories and memory Angelus might have to share. Very pleasant to Antoine's ears

//Oh, I love Kamelot! It’s not often that people are familiar with them, and you’re right the whole song is absolutely Angelus, and the lyrics definitely fit him, too.

//Thank you!!
