The Boards, Tuesday

Now that word had been sent back to him that Mavis had his Hotel back in hand (and the hot-headed Quasimodo had been convinced not to quit because of it), Drac was finally able to sit back and muse over the disaster he had made of the Theatre: there had been no performance the entire semester, and he was running behind for the summer season.

Drac was not a happy Vampire.

So it was that Drac was on the phone calling his suppliers back home and making arrangements for a rather large shipment. The Boards needed a play, and Drac was going to make sure it got a play.

Anyone visiting today would find Drac in and tending to various theatre things. Including writing letters of apology to Jonothon, Mr Kirby, and Ms Malikov.

After class and some office time, Hannibal was heading back home as he passed by The Boards, which seemed a bit more open this evening.

It had been a while since he'd seen Dracula, come to think of it. Opening the door, he headed toward the offices. "Count?"

Drac looked up from where he was sitting, curious and completely willing to be distracted from the ledgers he was studying. "Doctor Lecter. Good evening; how have you been?"

"Well, thank you." Hannibal nodded to him. "And you? Buried in paperwork, I see."

"A bit out of sorts, actually. The humans in my homeland are apparently preparing for war again and there is a flood of refugees requesting shelter at the Hotel. During the convention season!"

He shook his head and waved his arms at the books. "In my concerns over that, I left much of the Boards in disarray." There was extreme distaste in his voice. Drac didn't like things being out of order. Especially when it was his fault.

"War has a way of doing that," Hannibal answered, a bit amused. "I'm certain the theater will forgive you."

[identity profile] bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com 2014-05-19 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Drac's look was droll. The question really was whether he could forgive himself, and the answer was no. The control freak had lost control, see, and that was not allowed.

He shook off the look, however, and gave his friend a smile. "I have made arrangements to make up for my inattention, so I hope so. Do you think the town is a fan of Shakespeare?"

"At least two of us are," Hannibal answered, smiling. "I don't know about the others."

"Then I shall keep my hopes high," Drac nodded, then explained: "as I failed holding a performance using the community, I am hiring the original cast of Amleth the meta for Hamlet to perform for the community. My apology. Hopefully they will be arriving soon."
sharp_as_knives: (oh? yes?)

[personal profile] sharp_as_knives 2014-05-27 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" Hannibal gave him a pleased look. "That should be quite enjoyable. Are they still alive where you're from, or are you bringing them from another time?"

[identity profile] bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com 2014-06-02 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Drac snickered a little. "I can't travel in time, Doctor. That's a myth; I live through each night just as everyone else does. Just more of them."

"No. I have hired zombies. There is a company I work with that is very reasonable and can usually accomodate with short notice."
sharp_as_knives: (oh? yes?)

[personal profile] sharp_as_knives 2014-06-02 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"I've seen stranger things here," Hannibal noted. "I thought you might be taking advantage of the island's peculiarities." He shrugged. "Zombies?" If he sounded a little politely dubious, the only zombies he'd seen were the band at the bar in town. "Can they still act?"

[identity profile] bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com 2014-06-02 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
"According to the catalogue, yes." Drac shrugged. "Zombies are a very decent workforce, I've found. I use them for maintenance and labor at the hotel. They must be managed, of course, but they do produce good work."

"I've only met the band, whose musical abilities were...questionable. Or perhaps Gilbert and Sullivan simply isn't their forte." Hannibal shrugged. "I look forward to seeing the play."

[identity profile] bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com 2014-06-02 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"The zombies I've met here appear to be a different type. Similar to how there are different vampires here?" Drac folded his arms and leaned back a bit. "It's quite interesting the variety of monsters that I've met since coming here."

No, that was not Drac admitting he may have been wrong in some of his thinking before. Nope. You must be mis-interpreting, human.
sharp_as_knives: (amused)

[personal profile] sharp_as_knives 2014-06-02 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hannibal chuckled. "Anybody I meet who isn't a simple human is variety to me. I find it quite refreshing."

[identity profile] bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com 2014-06-02 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
That was interesting of itself!

"You really don't have any monsters where you're from? Not even an occasional ghost?"
sharp_as_knives: (amused)

[personal profile] sharp_as_knives 2014-06-02 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hannibal shook his head. "None that I have ever heard of. Not reliably, anyway. No monsters or aliens or mutants of any kind. No magic." He leaned forward, smiling. "Terribly boring."

Kenzi was swinging by to check on things because it'd been while since she'd heard about the play. She kind of suspected it was going to be delayed, or something.

"Hey Mr. Draculaaaa."

[identity profile] bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com 2014-05-14 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Count, Ms Malikov..." Ah! Drac looked up from his letter with a smile. "Ms Malikov! Just the person I was thinking of!"

[identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com 2014-05-16 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Oooo, really? How come?" Kenzi bounced in, mocha in hand. "Is this about the play, or something else?"

[identity profile] bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com 2014-05-18 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Both. Both."

He smiled at her. "But first, how did your dance auditions go?"

[identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com 2014-05-20 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I got the part!" Kenzi said, pleased he'd asked. "I mean, that me did. The one that actually kept up with the ballet lessons. So she's probably rehearsing for Giselle right now. It was pretty awesome... and then I turned into another me who didn't dance, so."

[identity profile] bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com 2014-05-27 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Drac looked confused... probably because he was. "You got the part... and yet you're here?"
