(no subject)

[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.]

[... 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]

[~~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.

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

[still not uncovering her eyes through this conversation]

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

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.

Rather takes the fun out of it.

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

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

... 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.

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?]

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]

[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.]

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]

[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.

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.

I'll think about it.

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

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

Why? Were you planning on joining my shopping trip?

[itt: contrary as fuck.]

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.

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.

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

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