It's a bit interesting to learn about the more recent traditions of humans. To think that Saint Valentine is associated with romantic love is a bit... peculiar to me considering his history, but I suppose I can see how it may have evolved.

Regardless, the people of Wallachia would celebrate Dragobete on February 24th. There's obviously less interest within the vampire community, but I am aware of its traditions and it appears to be similar to your Valentine's Day for its purposes. Dragobete was the son of Baba Dochia, who herself is essentially the personification of the end of a difficult winter and the start of spring, which in itself is often associated with fertility. Due to this, the day is also known as "the day when the birds are betrothed." Dragobete himself is a character of immense kindness and was chosen as the Guardian of Love.

I suppose in perspective, this will be my first time celebrating either. I would also like to ask if your culture has their own way to celebrate love, or fertility as it can be seen as.

My other question: I would like to know if there is anyone ordained here. I am looking for holy water to be made.

yeah, so?
it’s technically not wrong to call you a dracula
pretty sure there aren’t any dracula name rules
besides i said it was nice but that name...
seriously? come on

[reposing]

What if I call you an Adam instead of a human.

[grilletto]

that would just be stupid

[reposing]

Exactly.

[grilletto]

oh
i was going to ask who the first dracula was and use that to fight you
but i guess it's the same thing as the adam argument
shit

[reposing]

He was the first, and the always will be the most powerful.

But hopefully now that gives you some idea as to why calling me one is a bit ridiculous.

[grilletto]

well yeah i guess
but it sounds cooler

[reposing]

Then I guess you're Mista the Adam.

mista forgot his name rip

[grilletto]

you could just call me mista
and i guess i could call you by your name

[reposing]

And what is my name, Mista.

[he knows you forgot, binch]

[grilletto]

hey come on
i know your damn name

[ do you know he's stalling ]

[reposing]

Then what is it?

[grilletto]

[ it's a few minutes before he finally responds, he's fucked and he knows it ]

not dracula?

[reposing]

Well, that's the first time you've said that.

1/2

[grilletto]

hEyy NO

[ fuck it. he’s switching to audio, typing is so much work ]

[grilletto]

Look! Just because I said your name isn’t Dracula doesn’t mean you’re not A dracula!

[reposing]

And yet you can't seem to remember my name at all, Mista the Adam.

[grilletto]

Christ, stop it! Your name is Alucard, you jackass, ALUCARD!!

[reposing]

How am I being a jackass? I'm simply treating you the same way you're treating me, thought perhaps with a bit more class.

[grilletto]

[ shit he has a point ]

Fine, I’m a jackass too, then...

[reposing]

I suppose that does make us two jackasses, then. What a pair we make.

Tell me about gelato.

[grilletto]

[ That was quite a shift in topics, but Mista didn't really mind. Instead of being concerned he found himself letting out a genuine laugh. ]

I guess I didn't explain it very well the last time, probably didn't really make a lot of sense. Maybe it'd be easier if I just bought you some or something? At least then you'd be able to tell the difference between gelato and ice cream...?

[ There was a pause. ]

I mean if you want to, it's probably weird to ask after I gave you so much shit.

[reposing]

Oh, please. A bit of banter helps deepen bonds. Or something to that effect. Regardless, you don't offend me, truly.

[He basically just admitted he likes to give Mista shit for the hell of it.]

I'd like to try it. See if I can tell the difference.

and since i died we can obvs wrap up here and do gelato sometime later

[grilletto]

We'll set it up sometime then, okay? I swear. If I can get enough chroma we'll try out a bunch all at once...

[ Wow, this was weird but it's not as if it particularly bothered him that they were having a good bonding moment. Even if he was just told that he's a pretty good mark to pick on. ]

...not too much, I'm not sure how much you can eat or if you should even eat people food but we can figure it out later, yeah? I'll let you know when I have enough and we'll go from there.

[ Making plans for gelato with a dracula, who would have thought. And with that he cuts off the feed before he embarrasses himself more. ]
