The Boards, Sunday

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

As much as he wanted to stay in his coffin and not even THINK about what was happening to him, Drac was a bit too much of a control freak to allow the Boards to go untended. Who knew WHAT would happen if he wasn't there!

So he'd gathered up his things and changed into a bat (A LADY BAT, TOO? WAS NOTHING SACRED??) and made his way as stealthily as he could to the theatre.

He was now holed up in his office making final arrangements for the play he would HOPEFULLY be announcing and holding auditions for soon.

Once he was his normal self again, of course.

Mavis had listened to the radio broadcast this morning, but it hadn't occurred to her that something like this might affect her Dad. Not because vampire -- after all, she'd turned into a boy. Just because... Dad. She honestly figured the island would be too intimidated to dare try messing with him.

Oh, sweet 117-year-old summer child.

"Dad?" she said, poking her head around the door. "Want some doughnuts and Tru Bl---" Um.

"Um. Hi?"

Not Dad. Very not Dad.

Right, because there was anybody else in the world who called her that?

"...Dad?" It was different this time. There were italics.

Also it was in Romanian.

Mavis would not say Bitch, please... if she knew such a phrase existed, which she didn't. Then again, she could make "Seriously, Dad?" sound just like Bitch, please, so, there was that.

Drac sighed. "You're getting too old for me to trick."

He dropped his head in his hands. "I believe this is the island's responsibility." And hopefully it wouldn't last as long as she'd been a wolf.

[callmemavy.livejournal.com]

Mavis' mouth dropped open, but not so much due to the new body, since she'd already got her OMGs out of the way for that. "I think that may be the first time you've ever used the words 'too old for...' about me."

Jono had been kind of avoiding this. Putting it off, really. Because... Jono. If there was one thing he was excellent at, it was avoidance.

Good show, deciding to suck it up and make his way to the Boards to talk to Drac this weekend. Not that he'd noticed anything was the matter. He'd been left blissfully untouched this weekend.

//Knock knock?//

Drac dropped her head to the desk. TODAY everyone came to visit?

"No one is home?" (S)he tried.

Why was her voice so... sultry?

[furnaceface]

//... Would've been more believable if you hadn't actually answered, you know,// Jono noted, leaning up against the doorframe. //Would you rather I go away and come back another time?//

He really had no intention of doing so. He'd finally worked up the nerve, here. Finally!

//If that's actually you in there, it's nothing I haven't been through, myself. Just one more of the island's more charming little quirks.//

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

A wave of magic (at least that hadn't gone away!) and the door opened to reveal a very unhappy female vampire sitting behind Drac's desk.

Drac was NOT standing up, sorry. She was grumpy.

"Have you had THIS happen?" He's lost things he's had for hundred of years!

[furnaceface]

//Matter of fact, I have,// Jono replied with a shrug, and then a sort of rueful shake of his head. //Didn't get pictures, though. Not the sort of thing I want proof of.//

Seriously. Not.

//I was fairly svelte, though. Still blue. Didn't make it look half as good as you are, mate.//

He was still a bit of an ass. Nothing would ever change that.

"Of course I look good!" Drac almost looked offended. "And there will be no photographs. None."

He sighed. "Tell me this is one of the short duration changes, please? And not like the week my Mavis turned into a wolf."

Although he'd been assured this would probably be cleared up in the morning, Hannibal was spending another evening at the hotel just in case. Of course, since this meant he was actually on the island after dark, he decided it would be a good time, island oddities or no, to visit Dracula. He hadn't seen him in a while.

He came into the Boards and knocked at the office door. "Count?"

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

Drac was now resigned to people wanting to see him... her today.

"At least I have retained that, yes. Come in." The voice was sultry and sulky at the same time, because Drac had skillz.

[sharp_as_knives]

"I see this latest oddity hasn't left you unscathed, either," Hannibal noted, rather amused by the sulkiness but too polite to say it.

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"If you mean this island atrocity, I only wish it had." Drac raised an eyebrow and waved to a seat. "And you are?"

[sharp_as_knives]

Hannibal laughed as he sat. "Most people guess it from the cheekbones, it seems. You're the first to ask. I'm Doctor Lecter."

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"Doctor?!" Drac sat back, shocked. "I never would have guessed!"

Kenzi was just stopping by to see what was up for the next production, so she was calling out, "So are we looking at another musical, or a variety show or-- um. Hi? I love your dress."

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

Drac eyerolled. "Ms [DracCanTotallyPronounceIt]. Has the island caused you to forget all the common courtesies this weekend?"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi blinked and stared. "uh, what? I mean. Who?" She paused, and then added for completeness's sake: "Why?"

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"Yes." Okay, Drac had to chuckle at her reaction. "I have finally had the misfortune to be affected by the island's whimsy."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"UuhhhOH!" Kenzi got it, blinking, and then grinnning widely. "Uh, sorry, that really is an awesome dress, but I didn't recognize you at all when I totally should have. Who else has your style?"

[bluhblahbluh.livejournal.com]

"Well," Drac preened. "That is true. And thank you for the compliment, although I am unable to say exactly how the gown was in my closet."

"Now. Since you're finally within proper speaking distance, you were asking something?"
