Shall we take bets on whether or not zombies are the worst thing we'll see this year?

[Horst is lounging on a couch near a fire, a book open and on his chest.]

I realized, with all the new arrivals especially, we have a pool of unusual skills here. Would anyone be willing to teach a few classes? For instance: I could teach...oh, bar tending. Card dealing. Physics and labwork--you know, whatever there is interest for.

The ponies could teach 'Frolicking 101'. The angels could teach 'Offending Someone in Two Words or Less'.



[PRIVATE to RACHEL]

Have you done opera at all?

[She makes a face.] Wow. Bad mental image. Bad bad mental image.

...Besides wouldn't that like, um, kill you? [She shivers at the thought.] Sometimes I really do think you're the creepy one.

[A resigned sigh.] So what will it take for you to put me down this time?

You know, it wouldn't, actually. You could blow me into tiny pieces and I'd just...well I'm not clear on specifics, but at some point I'd mold myself back together. And if you really want to get down...paint my toenails when we go in. I'll set you down in good faith.

We need chemistry, my brother and I--well, myself specifically--want to study the anatomy of the local creatures.

But I also want to remind people how to...live, how to have fun.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Can you teach how to make a meal on, shall we say, improbable ingredients?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Perfect! You're hired, Miss Bubbles.

[Smirk smirk] Behold, my greatest student!

You wish.

[A smirk.] Now the way you describe it... almost makes it tempting to give it a try.

[Her mischievous look turns appalled at his request.] Paint your toenails. I don't even paint mine. For Azar's sake I'm sure even Spike doesn't paint his. What kind of vampire are you? ...Pick something else.

I'm the sort of vampire who likes to look good even barefoot. [see this sad face?]

Fine, fine. You have to make a fruit plate for us.

Horst? [Alice peeked out from the hallway, listening to her guardian speak to others before deciding to call out to him.]

Tch. Keep your shoes on, will you? [It makes it hard for her to keep a straight face but she manages.]

You know what? I think you have me confused with your personal slave. But okay, I'll do that. [Before he comes up with something more extravagant.] Set me down now?

[al_truism]

... for any specific purpose? [He has a guess.] But I can help with that.

[A little smile.]

I -- I think we need that.

[She is offering without Tybalt's permission, because it seems interesting that someone thinks teaching skills is useful.]

I could teach sewing and mending. That is a skill I am sure many would find useful in this place.

[He stares at her. Blinks a few times. Then laughs.]

I have just the class for you.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[He nods] I know Swan Lake. Not because I go to many ballets, but I dated a ballerina briefly. That was one of the productions she was in when I met her.

Flammen is...a loosely spun story about Don Juan falling in love with the personification of Death. Basically.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

My dear, that would be perfect.

I don't believe we've met. My name is Horst Cabal.

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

[She smiles at the praise.]

Please let me know the particulars, and I am happy to help.

[She nods.]

Lord Cabal. I am Juliet Capulet. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[And saying 'Capulet' gets easier each time she does it. She isn't sure whether this is good or bad.]

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh, please, call me Horst. The pleasure's mine.

I'd like to set up classes as soon as next week; have you met many people here yet?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

What class is it? [No, seriously, what could possibly sound like a good idea with that warning?]

[video]

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

I could do something. I excel in all of my studies, though I doubt that World History would be of much use here.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Kitchen safety. [Which will probably consist of doing the opposite of what Usagi does.]

[video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Well, Professor Killua. Welcome aboard.

[video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[He grins] What do you do for fun?

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

As you like, Horst. And you may call me Juliet.

That should be suitable. I have met a fair number of people, I think. But I know not how many of us there are in the city, so I have little way of telling. Have you been here a long time?

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Since November, though I'm not sure how long that amounts to. Time's strange here.

But do let your friends know.
