Alfred von Krolock Apparently

Hallo!! I am a university student studying many subjects! Mostly sciences! I stumbled upon a... curious situation during a trip with my Professor and now I live with Vampires... Ask me anything!

[ask-alfred-tdv]

During your song with Herbert were you ever excited? You keep looking in the mirrors in such?, it must have been exciting to meet a real vampire!!! And to dance with such a handsome one must have been nice too!!!

Excited is.... not *quite* correct, I would say I was more terrified than anything else....? Certainly there was some excitement, because of discovering the existence of a creature thought to be myth, but mostly it was terror. Imagine meeting a Sasquatch and he swings you around in a dance and then tries to eat you. Conflicting motives, I think.

I looked in the mirrors so often because I was trying to confirm that he had no reflection. I couldn’t believe my eyes at first!

As far as dancing goes, Herbert is a wonderful dancer and although our first dance was rather frightening, subsequent dances have been very nice. :)

Alfred where exactly are you from?

I am from Königsberg. Before I met Herbert and the Count and came to live with them, I was a student of the Albertus-Universität Königsberg in oh, 1883 or so....?

[ask-alfred-tdv]

You seem like a amart guy. Have you ever read/seen any plays by Dürrenmatt? If yes, which one and what was it like? If no, I'd gladly recommend some!

I haven’t read or seen any, but I do know of Dürrenmatt. He’s mentioned in conjunction with Bertolt Brecht, and I have read a few of Brecht’s works, and some analysis of his style of Epic Theatre. I enjoy the arts, and theatre in particular! Theatre as a vehicle for philosophical commentary is fascinating. I mostly focus on natural science in my studies, but philosophy is probably my second favorite subject! Following that, Art. I’m not much of an artist, though...

That being said, I would love recommendations, I’m always looking for new things to read!

So do you have any favorite places to take Alfred for dates? Or any where you’ll take him to just surprise him because you know he’ll like it?

Libraries. I’ve taken him to so many libraries and surprise bookstores.

Some of his favourites are the National libraries of countries. He gets lost between all the different aisles of books. Alfred often decides whether a library is good on how in depth their medical book selection is.

He also loves the little hole in the wall book stores. Where the shelves look like they’re falling over from the weight of the words they bare. Where he can find a comfy spot to curl up.

We spend our evenings there until the staff kicks us out. Sometimes I pay off the library staff to let us come at later hours. Meaning we are the only ones there. Most often though, we just bring our large umbrellas and hooded coats and smile at the people who stare ;)

I love going to the little book stores! Especially pre-owned books. They have so much personal history. We should go on a book date soon ❤️

Out of curiosity I was trying to see if I could find a copy of Die Fledermaus, but with no luck. Is it out of print? What's your review on the book?

Unfortunately, it is out of print at this time... it has been for a while, the Professor didn't get past a few rounds of publishing. He was also frustrated that the opera, Die Fledermaus, seemed more readily available than his book.I thought it was a well sourced, critical analysis of Vampiric lore and theory, and I would recommend it if you can find it......Don't tell the Professor, but secretly I thought it was a bit too heavy handed and biased to be truly academic... His voice comes through strongly in the work and makes it seem a bit more grandiose than it should be I suppose...

What was your last dream about?

I had an odd dream, just last night. I was hiding from two men, one who wanted to send me to fight in a war, and the other wanted to give me a "business opportunity" that was very shady. Herbert was there too, and he was trying to help me hide I think, but he kept scaring me out of hiding places. Sarah tried to help as well, but she just sort of pushed me behind a door... then I woke up..... I'm not sure what that means.......

The three stages of Herbert and his plan to win over Alfred.

1: I need to think of something that will make Alfred like me more.

2: I know it! I’m gonna pretend I’m Sarah!

3: Oh, that didn’t work out the way I planned it.

[ask-herbert-von-krolock]

How dare you call me out like this.

[ask-alfred-tdv]

Why would you think that would work?

[ask-herbert-von-krolock]

It got your attention didn’t it, and it worked better than my first plan would have.

[ask-alfred-tdv]

….Dare I ask what your first plan was?

[ask-herbert-von-krolock]

Lying naked on your bed and waiting.

[ask-alfred-tdv]

I shared a room with the Professor, Herbert. What would you have done if he had walked in instead of me?

The castle is decorated!

No tinsel was missed!

Father is distracted!

Hopefully he won’t be pissed!

Mistletoe hung for all to see!

Maybe I’ll get a kiss?

Or two or three!

Merry Christmas to all

And have a lovely night!

Perhaps we won’t bite ;)

Merry Christmas Herbert!
