For lastvoyages: Journal Entry 48 [video]

[nolongerhollow]

[Dracula is sitting at his desk, which has a substantial pile of library books and papers on it. The candles are all lit and the fire stoked, giving a good view of him. He is in his shirtsleeves and a smart dark blue vest in very subtle brocade. His expression is fairly pleasant, and his eyes, once vacant, now sparkle with curiosity and liveliness.]

When he left a friend of mine bequeathed me with a substantial portion of his motion picture collection. Of course, they involved a number of vampire movies, most of which are quite amusing. These, however, I have not seen yet. [He picks up a jewel case marked MST3K]. And apparently they are very amusing indeed.

Besides making the collection available for Movie Nights, I was wondering if anyone would like to join me for a viewing in the eighth floor common room once the proper arrangements are made?

Oh, and hello to any newcomers. I am Count Vladislaus Dracula...although chances are that I am not the man whom you associate with that name.

[Grin, applause.]

Wonderful as ever.

I have to admit that knowing you has inspired me. I wish to go adventuring on different worlds once I graduate. I will return to work, but the idea of learning and working here and there, visiting old friends...well. My mind has been opened to the possibilities.

[una_persson]

It can be a very rewarding path. Not without its hazards, but there is much to be experienced if you have the wherewithal.

And it pleases me, you know, to hear you talking about graduation in terms of "when".

[nolongerhollow]

I have the rest of eternity for it, and I am very tough. Though part of me longs to settle in one place and rebuild my society.

And indeed, I think it is only a matter of when. There are a few things to go through, but I...understand so much more now.
