cryptsleeper | Catch All II

i'm actually pretty good at most things that i can do with my hands

painting, calligraphy, origami, sewing, cooking, cleaning... a ton of other softboy things

it's why i'm always fucking with knives and stuff

found out i can shoot guns in the castle too, that was alright

i'm shit at sports though cuz i hate other people

[.........how has he never imagined Dracula With a Gun before?]

Hm.

Well, I'm in the middle of re-binding a 17th century book, if you want to see what the process looks like. Maybe you would enjoy it. There's some alignment with the folds and precision of origami once one is at the point of joining the text block with the covers.

What are you up to this evening?

nothing special

was gonna put dinner on the stove than game for a bit

but i can do that anytime so

if you want me over i can come over. i'll behave. don't wanna fuck up your 400 year old book

but i'll learn something from watching you

i usually do

I was going to give you a beginner's kit, I assure you.

[He may or may not be making one right now. A lil journal.]

We can also do this any other night this week.

up to you bro

if you need extra time to get ready for me to come over just pick another date

otherwise, you're not putting me out or anything

i'm good at dropping my plans for friends

house is always empty anyway

[....someone uses the f-word....]

Tomorrow?

I'll make dinner as well.

[ i forgot to respond to this two tags ago but truly, they absolutely cannot let soma become dracula because then they're going to have a dracula who knows how to point a 9mm at the nearest belmont ]

yeah, tomorrow sounds good.

dinner sounds good, too. i'll bring dessert.

[Alucard has known quasi-peace for years, this will be what breaks him.]

Any requests? I need to go grocery shopping anyway.

i like curry

but you can make it any style you want

Give me your top three and then I'll surprise you. How's that?

top three... styles of curry?

[ curry where brain should be ]

Yes?

[He thought this was obvious????]

sorry. it's just hard to pick. i don't think anyone's ever asked me that before

i think all curry is good curry

You're going to get Wallachian curry in a moment...

really??

[ you sure that's a good idea alucard. what if THIS is the thing that brings back dracula — ]

really really??

haha

i can't wait

it's been a long time since i was this excited about something, i think

[GODDAMNIT don't call this bluff.]

......there's no such thing. Curry's just. Very much an eastern thing and.

Fine.

I'll make stew.

oh

[ ...

for at least one second, soma considers, very seriously, giving in to the dark voices constantly calling for his attention.

he decides, probably, that humanity does not deserve to end because of curry. ]

[Please do not make Dracula et al mad about curry.]

That's why I was asking for options.

i usually prefer beef curries

the japanese style that is mildly sweet is what i grew up on

but the indian style that is more spice forward is also fine

i also like thai green curry

does that help

[ the price of this is that he will probably never not answer a direct question from alucard again... ]

Yes.

Indian style beef curry it is. Haven't flexed that culinary muscle in a while.

okay

do you have any requests for dessert

[ is he still sulking a little bit. yes. but he will press on. a hero. ]

Apple cake.

[See? See how easy it is to SAY THINGS?]

[ no!!!!!!! ]

is that like with chunks of apple or more of a puree

The former, usually. But you might also find gâteau invisible.

[ he's actually so relieved that alucard picked up on the entire unspoken issue here — namely, that soma is not terribly familiar with european culinary traditions, in the sense that while he obviously knows what an apple cake must be, he's not sure what form of it alucard expects, and this has really been an issue for the short duration of his entire life because of how he looks — anyway, he's so relieved that he's going to forgive and forget about the whole wallachian curry thing. ]

oh, the gateau i remember

was viral for a bit over here lmao

okay, i can make something like that

thanks alucard
