March catchall!
WHO: Bela Talbot and YOU. (Yes, you)
WHERE: Here, there and everywhere.
WHEN: The whole of March.
WHAT: A few closed starters and open prompts. Feel free to make your own though!
WARNINGS: Edit:Warning for allusions to child abuse.
Herodotus Antiques (Maurtia Falls)
[The store was open from 9am to 5pm, seven days a week. But sometimes Bela did work late into the evening to catch up on paperwork and the occasional stock take. January had been a terrible month and February wasn't much better because of the Russian invasion, so Bela was hoping that March would be profitable. As a means of trying to acquire high sales, she slashed a few prices of the items in stock and offered a few deals on others.
When Bela isn't standing behind the counter she can be found at the back of the store in the stockroom. She would be able to hear customers coming in by the small bell above the front door which rang whenever anyone opened it. Despite the poor performance of the previous two months, Bela is in a good mood and ready to greet potential customers when they come in the door.]
Heropa:
[She's house-hunting. For the future anyway. Bela is still short of the cash to make her grand move but at the very least she could find a nice spot to live in. Florida has the advantage of warm weather and attractions, but it also has the disadvantage of really unsettled weather too. Heropa was likely to be at the bottom of Bela's list for cities to live in - even with that in mind, it seemed insensible to rule it out completely.
When Bela isn't trawling through residential areas, she stops for lunch at a cafe and heads to a diner for dinner later. Maybe she'll end up staying the night in Heropa which meant she needed to find a decent hotel. ]
Wildcard! Anything else you want? Drop a comment or send me a PM and we'll work something out :>

[ Not that she really had that many people close to her in the first place. ]
You're a survivor. Tough. I can respect that.
no subject
After a long enough pause between them.] Well, I guess that's the end of that story. Questions? Comments?
no subject
no subject
[Still, his expression is soft and amiable.] But maybe I could mention a few things. You've noticed my lack of images and reflections, yeah?
[While it's mostly a given, there are couple rare pictures of Toby in circulation online.]
no subject
[According to fictionalised interpretations of vampires anyway. Bela has never met any in her own world.]
Must have an impact on your morning bathroom routine.
no subject
Still, it can be difficult. But I know how to brush myself up, and Dorian, well... [He softly chuckles in amusement and shakes his head a bit.] ...He likes to dress me up, like he's playing with a life-sized doll.
no subject
Was there anything you ever wanted to ask me? I can't keep pressing you with questions.
no subject
Well, what sorts of things did you do back where you're from? If I recall correctly, the last time I asked, you were a little vague about it.
no subject
[ Bela just decides to be straight with him now. ]
It's a very lucrative job. The money is well worth the risk.
no subject
Oh! Well, that certainly sounds like an exciting job! Then, I'm guessing you also have quite a few stories to share?
no subject
[But his reaction was pleasant. No judgement.]
no subject
I certainly don't expect all of them at once, but you're right. Here we are, talking and drinking the night away, and I've already told one story. The rest can come some other time.
should we wrap this up soon?
yeah, i think we're good
