A Starlight in the Gloom | [ action ] | OPEN
Who: Alucard Adrian & ...
What: It's free sample day at Cold Marble and Adrian has been told he's needed to lure in new custom.
Where: Cold Marble (the ice cream and sweeties parlour Adrian works at)
When: Today (5th June)
Memories of that bizarre vision* were running through Adrian's head as he blankly stared out of the shop window. It took three calls from the manager to finally pull him out of his day-dreamer's trance.
Business is a bit slow, his boss advised I think it'd be a good idea if you brought in some more custom Adrian.
For a moment the British expat looked at his superior with a cool, unchanging expression. There was a preternatural, and altogether eerie, appearance to his fair features as though the request had been beneath him and Adrian's androgynous beauty had been akin to carved stone. However, the moment passed (although it's passing seemed to take longer than it truly was) and suddenly his face was illuminated by a broad, toothy smile. He spoke, tone light and soft.
"I suppose things are a little slow. What do you want me to take out?"
The parlour's manager proceeded to instruct his young assistant on a selection of both frozen and room-temperature samples and with tray in hand and apron tightly tied around his middle Adrian stepped out into the street. He squinted slightly, it felt brighter today than it had yesterday, he didn't usually feel this sensitive to light but nowadays when he spent too long outside it brought on the most awful headaches.
He spotted a passer by and spoke, voice clear as the ringing of a silver bell, a chime in the bustle of the city centre.
"Would you like a sample?"
