Everyone forgets things sometimes, and anyways, in America, this month is some kind of no shaving month? Which I am not participating in but this is my excuse.

Nu, nu, nu, I am fine, really. Please don't worry about me so much. :^(

Do you have what you need to shave, Gheorghe sweetie? Because that simply will not do—I could probably find a few things, once I explain to Dragomir I’m sure he won’t mind. :(;;

Yes, yes, I have everything, please don’t worry, I’m a grown man—

It is my fault for forgetting to shave. I should remember that this is something I need to do or I will be repeatedly mistaken for a bum and that would be horrible.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm very picky with wine, but you always know exactly what I like- I'll help you set everything up this year, if you'd like. It is the least I can do.

--Oh! Oh, you don't have to-- oh, who am I kidding. I can't pretend I don't want you to pay for it. I'm sorry. I'm too honest.

I’m sorry this is happening again he won’t leave me alone :^(

It is not your fault the Lord continues to test you so, fiul meu drag. :’^( You poor, poor thing. I too thought the goulash gaozar would have better things to do, but noooo.

[landbeyondtheforest]

I at least try to maintain my dignity. I have lived with this for centuries. Sometimes I wake up screaming after horrible nightmares of it all. Truly, on some levels, it never ends.

I'm exaggerating but you get the idea.

Did you just compare me to an egg. Why. Why did you do that.

[GROANS]

I don't even like garlic. I could be worse. I could be far worse. I could sound like Bela Lugosi. A Hungarian. A Hungarian created this stereotype. Fuck you.

I can’t believe I lived with Istvan for most of my life and never once drowned myself in the bathtub. That’s a miracle. 

[landbeyondtheforest]

She's my MOM you dumb fuck. Did you forget that I am not your actual son. Are you that stupid.

Your poor woman.

[He means this with the absolute sincerity he really does.]

Hunedoara was almost worse than usual this year, can you believe that? So many American tourists. Don't get me wrong, they're great and all and I'm thankful they love my land so much but oh my God, I need a break every once in a while. I should move out to a village or something.

But you should have told me you were in Brașov! That's where I usually am, I could have helped.

Good evening- well, it would be good if.. eheh, I shall explain. Today has been.. oh, what the loud, so very, very loud American tourists today call it? A “drag”. It was a drag, and my colleague from Brașov seemed more apologetic than thankful after I helped him with the flurry of guided tours needed around Casutul Bran today. All of that, with one of the worst hangovers I have had for some time.

So! Anyway, how do you nurse a hangover? Peace, and quiet, and greasy food. And then I found myself with the leftover sweets from the party last night and.. good grief. That idea of dessert, however tempting was.. eurgh.

Ugh. I never start this horrible month at my best. The minister of tourism should be kissing my feet in thanks. And I am not moving from this couch until the service tomorrow.;;

May I rest in peace until this time.

Happy Halloween, as you can see, I am Dracula today, please come and spend your money here in scenic Transylvania.

[landbeyondtheforest]

Hello, yes, it is me.

Tomorrow is Halloween and suggest you all come to Hunedoara Castle this year.

:^)

Erzsebet would show up in one of those- [literally grimaces] "sexy" costumes. Oh God. The horror. I may vomit thinking about it.

I'll be honest with you, I've never really liked wine- but that's besides the point. For one night, my name will be Vlad Dracula, and that'll be that.

It's nothing, really. I like to think of myself as a...patient person? I think spending most of my life under foreign rule does that.

Ooh! Someone do remind me; whilst the Magyars choose whether or not to scuttle about our streets for the rest of the night, I must remember to give out some very important documents! You see, the annual grotesque festivity that is the Halloween’s Party in Casatul Hunedoara is coming up very quickly! And-

… These documents, I should say. They are not exactly invitations for my counterparts, to the party my dear boy Gheorghe will be hosting on Halloween—oho no, quite the opposite.

They are more suited to being called restraining orders.
