WHO: Eccarius & YOU
WHERE: various places, mostly at night
WHEN: anytime in september
WHAT: various things! including filming an episode of Vamp It Up, roommate/neighbor encounters and a sexy flying cat
WARNINGS: probably none, surprisingly

Hosting a BlueTube show which helps out-of-time imPorts update their look and acclimate to the modern world is something of a departure from how he most recently spent his time back in his own world—which was leading a coven of vampire wannabes modeled after an 18th century group in a popular vampire novel—so, quite the opposite really and far less murderous since he's not turning the contestants into vampires and then drinking their blood in order to bolster his own powers, which one could imagine he might be, given the title of the show is Vamp It Up. But no, that's strictly an allusion to the process of making said contestant more attractive in a fashionable way, given the other thing hadn't exactly worked out well for him in the end.

Currently, Eccarius is in a boutique complete with camera crew, helping the contestant of the week (possibly you!) choose a flattering, more modern wardrobe. "You'd look fabulous in this," he declares, holding up a garment that might be considered fairly risqué by those with more old fashioned standards.

[ooc: replies from onlookers/employees/whoever are also welcome!]

As a shape-shifter, Eccarius could turn into a variety of medium to small-sized animals, but he didn't need to turn into a bird to be able to fly, having that power no matter what his form, be it human, or... cat. Don't look now, but there's a small black kitty soaring through the night sky right above your head before coming to land on the ground not far away, wasting no time in grooming himself in all those 'hard to reach' places. Excuse him for just a moment, won't you?

Eccarius can also be found around Maurtia Falls #002 playing his harp, with an emphasis on more modern songs, expanding his repertoire from mostly Bach sonatas, which let's be real, get a bit dull if that's all one plays for 350 years. Sorry if he's interrupting whatever you're doing. He also spends some time outside trimming the rosebushes et cetera in an effort to beautify the place. What, doesn't everyone garden at night?

[ooc: open to roommates inside, roommates, neighbors and other passersby outside!]

Whether he's allowed to be there or not remains up for discussion, but somehow Cassidy's managed to weasel (maybe literally) his way behind the scenes to watch with idle curiosity. He knows enough about the show itself, has seen plenty of episodes even, but it's not often he gets to be there in person.

Probably because he has a habit of ruining everything he comes near, and cameras be damned, he's deciding to point out loudly, "Yeah, just you watch out if he starts puttin' you in red or black. Those colours hide the blood too well."

Because murder jokes are totally amusing.

It's surprising really, that Cassidy hasn't found his way onto the set before, given his penchant for sticking his nose into everything and just having too much time on his hands in general.

After he makes his remark, there's a dead silence for a long moment as everyone in earshot turns and stares, possibly waiting for Eccarius to speak first. It's not as though people don't know he's a vampire, especially with a show title like Vamp It Up, but eating people is certainly not part of the theme yet.

He simply smiles serenely at Cass. "Had a lot of practice in that respect, have you love?"

[crassidy]

Cassidy's toothy grin is enough proof that he's messing around (mostly), bowing his head in a distant sort of agreement and matching it up with a messy shrug.

"Ah, y'know me, love. I'm a messy eater, always spillin' that shite down meself." And not on others, because he doesn't tend to eat people. Most the time. Unless they deserved it.

The camera crew looks a bit uncertain as to whether or not to cut, but Eccarius shakes his head a tiny bit, making a discreet circle with his finger to keep on rolling. The contestant meanwhile, has no idea what to make of it.

"Possibly there's a BlueTube show out there that offers tips on table etiquette, but in the meantime, we're here to help Joshua over here update his wardrobe," he says, with a nod at said contestant. "Perhaps you have something actually helpful to contribute?"

Honestly, Cassidy. Thank you so much for giving him the benefit of the doubt.

"Helpful? Like, fashion advice? Huh, alright."

Whether or not that's the suggestion here, Cassidy's taking it as such, moving out from amongst the crew to step towards Eccarius and his poor fashion victim. A tattooed hand trails across a stack of neatly folded shirts thoughtfully, but when it comes to selecting clothing, this isn't usually the sort of store Cass would find himself in.

"Oi, what about this? I'd wear it." Grabbing for a very floral button up shirt, the sort very few men could get away with, but one that might look damn fine on the right sort. "Might suit you too, love."

[hampire]

...or perhaps not, Eccarius thinks, realizing his mistake a split second after he says it, Cassidy being definitely not a person he'd want giving clothing advice, fashion disaster that he is. Although to be fair, there are some people who like that look, god help them. There is a certain charm to it after all, he reflects, a small smile curving his lips, having fallen for it himself.

"I'm sure you would," he remarks dryly, "but then, your style tends to be a bit... offbeat." Which is putting it nicely, really. But it could be worse—at least there are no dumpsters to dig through in here.

[crassidy]

Approval or not, Cassidy's scooping up that overly expensive floral shirt and slinging it unceremoniously over a shoulder like he intends to keep it. Screw making this contestant look nice, sometimes Cass has got to treat himself. Or expects Eccarius to treat him to it, either way he's just going to hoover up the most gregarious fashion in here when he gets the chance.

"Offbeat? Nice one, love, careful phrasing there, I like it. Y'know it's all well and good having you dress up some poor, clueless little fecker like this lad, but yeh never let other folk dress you. I could make you look fancy."
