[Barnabas has been hearing an awful lot about vampires lately. Despite the fact that he is one himself, this is rather new and unsettling; he’s never met another vampire. He is cautiously intrigued. He’s planning on stalking subtly approaching some of his undead comrades, but he has gathered that they come from many different worlds and he’s not going to walk blindly into a dangerous situation. This requires research.
You may find him in the library this evening, sitting comfortably in an armchair with his
newly castle-repaired cane hooked over the arm. A stack of books about vampires from several different worlds sits beside him. He’s been taking notes in a rather old fashioned-looking, elegant script. Right now, however, he is taking a break.
Barnabas is currently engrossed in a collection of Poe’s short stories. Oh, the things you miss when you spend a century locked inside a coffin! If you look carefully, or are particularly observant, you may notice a hint of a smirk dancing about his face.]
