 [Luxord going for a stroll naked, in all his tattooed and pierced glory isn't a terribly abnormal thing. Regardless of whether people noticed or not given his sort's tendency towards the night hours.

This time he's brought along some of those pets he so fondly mentions on occasion. Both of them (notably fully-clothed) ghouls, a Namine and a Riku replica or possibly the real thing, it's a bit hard to tell which he is with the vampire blood he's been taking warping him on multiple levels.

Of course, Luxord's not just taking them out for a walk, they have jobs to do here. The Riku carrying a couple of suit jackets and the Namine carrying a notepad and tape measure.]

[Kira is in a fluffy pink robe and slippers, yawning and ruffling a hand through her bed hair. She wanted a glass of milk but the kitchen in her house was all out, so she's had to go find the nearest kitchen to get some. This is definitely not a sight she expects to see, and she shrieks, covering her eyes with her hands and turning around for good measure.]

MISTER LUXORD!

Hang on, need to stop laughing long enough to type.

[gameofpretend]

[Luxord wasn't exactly expecting to see much of anyone at this sort of hour, at least not anyone he didn't intend to make lunch.

While the sound startles him, he far too casual about both nudity and being reacted to loudly to not roll with it.]

What?

worst person to run into EVER right?

[daddyhasagun]

[Kira still has her back turned and hands covering her eyes and cowering away]

YOU'RE NAKED!

There are some people higher on the list.

[gameofpretend]

Somehow this failed to escape my notice.

true enough, but Kira brings the lolz

[daddyhasagun]

[Kira's hands are firmly clamped over her eyes]

How could you not know you're naked?! It's drafty in the hallways!

truth

[gameofpretend]

I could climb through a snow drift like this without a problem.

[He's not about to explain the sarcasm if it was missed or simply ignored. Luxord considers for a moment before addressing the Riku.]

You can bring that lot back home, come back to me when you've put it away.

[daddyhasagun]

Is it a vampire thing? Do vampires not wear clothes where you're from?!

[Kira would be way more flaily about this whole situation if she wasn't covering her eyes]

[gameofpretend]

['Tis damage control, can't flail properly if the hands are busy.]

They wear them, but they don't need them.
I dress as excellently as I do because I choose to, not because I have to.

[trufax: Proving to himself he's simply doing things because he chooses to and not has to is one of the stranger, less dangerous or violent ways to appease his native psychosis. ]

[daddyhasagun]

You really do dress very well. So. Uhm. Do you think you can put clothes on now? I don't really want to see you naked anymore.

[she can't walk around with a blindfold on like her Papa and Aunt Riku can]

[gameofpretend]

[See, if he was a Xigbar or maybe an Axel he'd be obligated to make fun of the 'anymore' part.]

hmmm, how's this?

[He snaps his fingers, he's not actually put anything on, merely manipulated her perception so it seems as such. Though since he's being lazy it will more likely be closer to what she wants to see than any specific illusion on his part.]

[daddyhasagun]

[Kira will peek through her fingers and look completely startled, slapping her hands over her eyes again; illusions and perception manipulation works funny on Kira some of the time because of her innate magic and Light but thankfully whatever Luxord did didn't trigger her automatic defenses or he'd be fried]

That's not any better! You're all fuzzy and wearing a giant censored sign!

[gameofpretend]

[It's less illusion and all turning the mind against itself so right now to him it's just telling him really, really weird shit about her subconscious.]
Look luv, I'm trying to be delicate about this since my abilities aren't exactly made to be gentle with other vampires, let alone humans.

It would be so much easier for you to go back to bed and my lovely... assistant [Luxord decidedly thought twice about calling her a pet in front of Kira.] and myself to just continue our shopping trip.

[daddyhasagun]

[... well, yes, there's also lots of really weird shit in her subconscious; her sex talk came from 3 different parents at 3 different times and once involved hand puppets]

... you're going shopping? For clothes, right?

[MAGIC WORDS]

[gameofpretend]

[Still about three hundred thousand times if not infinitely better than what and how he was taught on the subject.]

Well yes, it's not like I can shop for food.

She's taking measurements for the tailoring, and the boy who was here before was playing pack mule.

[daddyhasagun]

Why don't you just pull stuff out of your closet? Doesn't yours like you?

[still not uncovering her eyes through this conversation]

[gameofpretend]

Sometimes I just don't know what I want until I see it, and a fine suit is worthless without proper tailoring.

[daddyhasagun]

I suppose that's true. I usually just ask the closets for things and they give them to me. They usually have good taste if you're polite.

[gameofpretend]

Rather takes the fun out of it.

[daddyhasagun]

But it's handy! I don't have a lot of time to go shopping or clothes hunting these days.

[gameofpretend]

I can't say I relate, a lack of time tends to be a mortal affliction.

[daddyhasagun]

... maybe you need a hobby? I'm always busy with the babies, so I don't get to have fun as much as I want.

[gameofpretend]

Well, I have my pets to care for?

['Care' is a bit of a strong word and meant in the loosest sense possible.]

I don't know, I rarely keep to hobbies, I usually pick them up at random and drop them once I know all I care to know about them. Which tends to happen more frequently at my age.

[Wat is incredibly censored version of how he spends time?]

[daddyhasagun]

So it's like you have ADD? I thought that only happened to kids.

[also Kira was a bit uncomfortable with the term 'pets' but her Uncle Kai and Axel's friend Riku calls himself that sometimes, so she's not too badly startled]

[gameofpretend]

[Well at least he hasn't told her that they're that sort of pet or that they're pretty much bound to him psychologically and chemically. Unless she looks up ghouls and manages to find out about the ones specifically of the world he's suppose to be from. Though if she was looking up those sorts of details there's probably greater worries than finding out what a ghoul is.]

When you're capable of living forever, time gets strange. How strange tends not to be noticed until you've outlived the average mortal life span. There are exceptions, of course, but it can often become harder to stay interested and invested in the world as you get older and run through hobbies faster.

When people hit the thousands they tend to just sleep away a couple of centuries in hopes something interesting will be going on when they get up. Or they take up politics.

[Exactly how much basis any of this has in reality is entirely up for debate. He has a couple of hobbies he's kept around a long time just not ones he's going to share with Kira.]

[daddyhasagun]

Oh, I get it. Since you're super old, you've already done everything, right? I guess that would get boring after awhile Too bad you can't explore outer space or something, like in movies.

[Kira doesn't mean to be insulting... she calls anyone over 30 super-old]

[gameofpretend]

[Hey, if he were human at his supposed age and somehow still alive he'd be pretty decrepit.]

Not everything yet, but a good deal of the things I was interested in.

[daddyhasagun]

Well, if you ever want to try anything new, just ask me! I'm sure I could think of something for you to do that's different.

[gameofpretend]

I'll think about it.

[Given there are more than a few seemingly innocuous things that could make him a bit killcrazy.]

[daddyhasagun]

Good! Uhm. So are you going to put clothes on now? My arms are getting tired from covering my eyes this long.

[gameofpretend]

Why? Were you planning on joining my shopping trip?

[itt: contrary as fuck.]

[daddyhasagun]

Uhm. I totally could if you wanted me too. But it's sort of late, and I was just going to get some milk before I, uhm, saw you.

[gameofpretend]

I don't particularly mind either way. It is quite late, for humans at least, which is why I was under the assumption you may want to continue with what you intended to do and go back to sleep.

If I'm simply continuing on my own with my assistant, getting dressed seems like a whole lot of unnecessary effort.

[daddyhasagun]

B-but you might run into other people who'll see you naked too!

[gameofpretend]

If they have objections then there's no call for them to stare.
