For the VtM oc ask!

For Linden please ❤️

6. What does their Haven look like? Is it creepy or luxurious?

Thanks for the ask! I decided to write this one up narratively for fun c:

Streetlamps illuminate a brilliant white regency-era house, stuccoed and dressed with classical mouldings. The lights are on across four floors, but the curtains are firmly closed. Marble steps lead to a grand entrance, but that’s not where the invitation said to go.

Stepping down to the basement level, there’s a separate entrance with a considerably less imposing facade. Knocking on the door seems to trigger a phone call within, an amused “yes, thank you, Damyan, yes, I will answer it”, and Linden opens the door. “Good evening. Please, come in.”

Inside is a gentle cascade of bubbling and humming from two walls stacked with aquariums and terrariums. Their haven is a perfectly organised studio flat, there’s a small kitchen off to one side used mainly to prepare food for various creatures. And the creatures really are the focus point here; the scorpion Duchess reigns over a domain of arthropods; spiders, tarantulas, scorpions, besides colonies of shrimp, a colourful mantis shrimp watches from his vantage point.

There’s a workspace with a view of the tanks, a leather jacket discarded mid-project. Tools are neatly organised, but those in use are strewn across the desk; scissors, hooks, suture needles.

Curtains have been drawn back to reveal a gallery of taxidermy projects along the opposite wall. Some normal animals, but looking closer there’s new experiments here. There’s a shifting in quality from the specimens, telling a story of improvement - those from before their death are beautiful but limited by kine capabilities, from then on each is more lifelike than the last.

A bed is tucked behind bookshelves and clothes wardrobes. A headless mannequin carries a dress in the process of being adjusted. Linden ducks through the archway to the kitchen as they return with refreshments. “Forgive the mess.” There is no mess. Only meticulously arranged decorative clutter and signs of work interrupted.

The seating area, a simple sofa, tv and record player, is staged like a doll house. It doesn’t look like anyone has ever sat here. It’s a facsimile of comfort; probably lifted piecemeal from a housekeeping magazine from the 70s. There is even potpourri, a ceramic clock, things that humans like.

The only personal touch in this area is a subtle mistake in one of the lace table covers. A mistake a learner might make, an echo of nights learning, the voice of their sire, before one can shape flesh, they must first perfect the technique.

It’s a basement bedsit below their sire’s home, dark, damp, but this was just the beginning.

my mom saying she needs me to stop spraying enzyme spray when cricket has an accident bc “the smell is too strong and i deserve to feel comfortable in my own home” vs my mom mocking me to my own partner about my stupid misophonia talking about how it makes me dumb and whiny and continuing to blast her podcasts knowing it triggers me. cmon girl
