Jeeves turned around to face Oliver, giving him a slight bow. "I'm terribly sorry, ser Oliver, but we have no recipes for desserts fit for a vampire... If there are any suggestions we'd be glad to change the menu for the next time." Sanguine sighed, waving for all of the servants to leave. Whom all quickly obliged and left the room. Once they were all gone she answered Oliver's question for the butler. "It's fine, Oliver. I may have a very limited diet now, but it's not like I feel left out. It's a bit hard to admit, but...that blood tasted like heaven. Better than any normal dessert they could have put in front of me. It almost felt like I was only having dessert for dinner. I mean, I would like to still have something like strawberries, but they don't seem appealing to me at all any more."

Sanguine finally stood, deciding it was time for something more important. She had ordered for the spies to have their reports by the end of the day, so surely they would have at least some information by now. "I plan to go and see if the spies have returned with information yet. We may be safe in here for now, but I want to be as prepared as possible before we go out. Care to join me? Or would going over reports be too boring?" Sanguine may not have been the strongest spellcaster, or the best leader the guild could have had when this was a game. But behind she scenes she was always busy with the 'paperwork' of the guild. For direct leadership and power the guild had the generals. Though now only Oliver still remained for that. But the woman planned to continue what she knew she was best at. The paperwork part of management.

(Figured we could end the first day here. As in, heading to bed. Just picked something not too important to do until bed time since it was still a bit early in the evening.)

Well, I slept horribly this night for some reason. =/ Otherwise life is just continuing like usual really. Also, a heads up, I have a LARP weekend again from the 22nd to the 24th.

"I guess you're right..." Sanguine replied, wondering how 'fine' he was with it for real. In truth she didn't think she'd want to chew on anyone. If just blood from a glass and meat could get her by then that would be perfect, though it was still hard to tell if that was the case at this point. The woman continued eating, finishing all of the roast on her plate before continuing to the chicken. The other things didn't even interest her at this point, apart from everything looking wonderful. She only took a little bit though, starting to feel a bit full already. Possibly because at this point she had almost finished the second glass of blood as well. That seemed to fill her up a lot more than the meat at least.

Once they were both done one plate remained untouched. The one with the strawberries on it. Sanguine frowned a little, nodding towards them as she spoke. "You don't want dessert? They look delicious though. Would be a bit of a waste to not have some at all." The woman shrugged a little, not about to pressure him into eating when he didn't want to. Though saving them for her was a bit pointless. To her it could be described as going for some left-over dry bread while she had just finished a delicious chocolate pudding. Not exactly the most appealing way to finish a meal.

As I said, a nice opportunity for some rp. :)

"I know, right?" Sanguine replied, quickly taking a few more sips of her refill. "Especially this wine. It's so good. I wonder what--" And only then Sanguine realized what exactly she had been drinking. "--Oh..." The woman put the glass down, still staring at it in shock. For blood to taste like that...that was just unnatural. The realization of what it actually meant to be a real vampire now started to sink in a little. Though at the same time, somehow, she wasn't too bothered by it. That first realization was a shock, but she immediately thought she could get used to it very easily, considering the taste.

Pushing those thoughts away Sanguine quickly pulled the plate with beef cutlets on it closer, putting several of them on her plate before pushing the plate away a little again. Just like Oliver, the woman didn't want to be impolite and leave some for him as well. She cut off a piece, noticing that it was still almost completely red inside. In her normal life she would have wanted it to at least be medium done. But now the red meat looked very enticing to her. Which was confirmed when she put it in her mouth. The juicy, soft red meat tasted better than any beef she had in the past. So the woman quickly continued eating, feeling like she could fill up on this alone. Even so, there was also chicken. Something Sanguine wanted to try at the very least. As for the rest, as appealing as it all looked, the scents of the other dishes didn't smell good at all. Even though she used to love potatoes. "You should try the beef cutlets as well, they're great~ Or at least...I think they're great." Maybe they were a bit undercooked for Oliver's liking. Then again, she was always told that to eat beef properly it had to still be red inside. "Also, sorry about the...about my drink. I imagine it isn't too pleasant a sight..."

Nope, just regular npc's. And hey, this IS supposed to be a 'taking over the world' thing in the long run. Plus, she IS a vampire... :P Just look at the general guild overall. Used to be located in a swamp, it's a 'tomb' situated mostly underground, there are all kinds of monsters and evil creatures at their command...the list goes on.

That's not to say they should be completely evil. Sanguine's plan will eventually be to become the sole ruler of the country, with some strict laws. Maybe something like a dictator. But at the same time she will want to keep everyone happy. Basically a "this country is ruled poorly, I'm going to forcefully take over and try to do it right" kind of thing.

Oh and you can leave it as is. He can still be convinced it's magic. Doesn't change that much in the rp imo.

Er...actually, it IS normal blood... And Sanguine smells it because vampire. ^^;; To be exact, there's a certain cell in the dungeon that keeps several...'donors' for the guild master. Something the player whom was in charge of designing the guild put in since their guild master was a vampire, for roleplay purposes. But Sanguine just never used it, and had kind of forgotten about it.

It's partially for convenience of course. But also to maybe provide a bit of rp in the near future. I mean, she's basically holding several humans captive in the dungeon to serve as blood bags. >:3

Before Sanguine could reach for her chair, Oliver had already grabbed it and pulled it out for her. For a brief moment she looked at him in surprise, though she then quickly moved to sit down. "My, aren't we a gentleman." She spoke with a smile, wondering what had gotten into him today. He seemed so different from his usual ingame self. Before the vampiress could really think about it though another door opened. And out came a whole group of maids, led by Jeeves himself and followed by a group of other servants with musical instruments. This normal dinner started looking more and more like a date in a very fancy restaurant... Though she supposed that if this could count as their first date she couldn't have asked for anything better.

However once again her mind got distracted. And this time it was beyond her control. A faint scent of blood started to fill the room, which immediately had the vampiress on edge. She didn't realise it was blood, but the scent was still very alluring. Almost becking her to get up and come towards it. Instead the scent headed into her direction though, as a cognac glass filled with red liquid was put in front of her. Her body moved almost on it's own as she grabbed the glass, immediately starting to drink the delicious red liquid that had been served to her.

The taste and smell drew her in so much that she didn't even hear Jeeves ask if there was anything else until the glass was completely empty. She looked up, wondering why everyone was looking in her direction until her butler asked his question a second time. "Ah, well...one more glass of this would be great." She spoke, feeling a bit shy with all the eyes on her all of a sudden. One of the maids came to get her glass to get a refill, while two others started taking the domes off of the plates.

Now, in front of them laid a full four-course meal with quite the selection of food for them to pick from. Slightly salted potatoes with a cup of gravy beside it, chicken fillet skewers with red sauce poured over them, a colourful salad in a bowl, beef that was spiced with herbs, and a plate with strawberries with two cups beside it. One had whipped cream and the other had sugar in it. The plate with beef was put down closest to Sanguine, giving her the idea that that was meant for her. "Wow..." Sanguine whispered, she sheer amount of food and the skill with which it was prepared and laid on the plates impressing her quite a bit. Though it did seem like quite a waste of food, as they probably couldn't finish all of it with just the two of them...

(She doesn't realise it was blood in the glass yet by the wait. :P)

I figured to keep a bit of fun in the rp I'd have Sanguine at least be able to eat meat. Preferably rare to medium rare meat, but still. :P

Once in her room Sanguine sat down in front of the mirror. And right away Daniëlle got to work. "So mistress...about earlier today. That was quite a bold way to court you, don't you think?" Right away her cheeks started to heat up again. That first kiss Oliver gave her made her feel embarrassed every time she was reminded of it. "Yes...I guess you could call it...very daring." And very wonderful, though she kept silent about that part. "Does that mean you two are a couple now?" Daniëlle decided to ask. She seemed a lot more comfortable around her master than any of the other servants were. Maybe because she stood directly below the former generals. "I don't know. I...think so? Maybe it's still a bit too early to tell..." It wasn't that Sanguine doubted Oliver's intentions. Those were made very clear already. Rather she doubted herself, wondering if she wouldn't mess things up with him. "I think it was about time though." Daniëlle continued. "You two seemed to be getting along so well in the past, I figured he would have kissed you a long time ago." "Well, what's done is done." The guild master replied. "I'll just have to wait and see what the future holds."

Sanguine's hair was tidied up, though was given a bit more flair this time. It wasn't as neat as it could be, but it would take way too long to make sure every single strand of hair was in the right place. So it was left at that, and the vampiress started making her way to the dining room. Once there it appeared Oliver was waiting outside. Which was a rather comical sight indeed. "It almost looks like you're a student that had to wait in the hallway as punishment." She spoke with a grin, moving to enter before him. Unlike him, she wasn't about to wait outside considering this was all their property. Well, technically hers. Since the guild was registered to her name. That was just a minor detail though. "I wonder what kind of food the cooks will prepare for us." She mused as she walked to one of the chairs. Especially for her. It made sense that the cooks would know what to serve a vampire. So anything put in front of her would be fine to eat. Hopefully meat. Sanguine had never been a huge fan of vegetables or potatoes.
