Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
We talked for hours last night. I didn’t notice that he was slurring his words until he was half way through the third bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. He was finally relaxing. His heartbeat had slowed to a normal rhythm and he was leaning back against the couch, long legs stretched out in front of him. As I spoke, he hung on my every word in

An interest. I think it would bugs me if I would be just an interest. However. What is so interesting about him?
Sometimes I wonder if you have something like empathy ability. Can you be a altruist being?
...Ganz nebenbei bemerkt, es ist großartig dich zu sehen.
Welcome back.

There are a number of interesting things about him. His openness, his honestly, his innocence... I could go on, but I won't.
I am not the least bit empathetic and even less altruistic. There is nothing symbiotic about this relationship. I am an immensely selfish creature. My actions and decisions benefit me alone.
It's good to see you as well, cara mia, but I haven't really been gone.

However, I love your -how have you call it? - Interactions with the boy. I looking forward to hear more. You want tell us more, right?
Openness, honestly, innocence...Aww, are you sure its not me you dream about? That´s quite flattering.
*kiss*
Seriously though. Such a person is rare indeed. So, wanna lead him on devils road and see how long he will have the good traits?
Not quite sure about that. My guess, you can be altruistic. Even it's rare though. I wonder why is that so difficult for you. What do you think??
How charming. Mille grazie.
You haven´t really been gone? What do you mean by that? You wasn't here, that´s always a punishment. Besides how can I fully be happy without you, hmn?
By the way, I had a VERY good Rococo dance-festival. Not the best but one of the best. And yes, its because my ego was treated well. Oh, and a have fan club. Ha. I must admit, I was surprised. Would you like to know what happened?

When have I ever been altruistic? It's not difficult for me, but it's just not who I am. I understand the concept well enough to know that I am the very opposite of selfless.
What I meant by "haven't really been gone" is that even if I'm not commenting or replying to things here, I'm often still reading. My interest in the online world waxes and wanes and I can be so easily distracted by something pretty.
I'm pleased to hear that your Rococo dance festival went well. I saw the video of your dance and you were magnificent. Yes, tell me what happened.

Ah, the emphasis is YET, hmn? So, you wanna let it go and see what happens? But you surely have some fantasies in your mind. What about a „What if“ scenario? ;-) Share it with me, please.
Sadly I don't know every minute of your life, so I cannot say a specific moment.
Perhaps you understand the concept with your brain, but certainly not with your heart. You wouldn´t be restless or greedy so much if you would understand it.
Is that not just a easy excuse? „I´m that way“ So you simply safe time and never try it because... you fear you can fail? Or that you can like it?
And why do I always argue with you? I wouldn´t be a good servant...that sucks somehow. :-/
Yeah ...it seems so. Even though I didn´t expect this. But when you even saw me dance it must be true. Fascinating.
Ah, but to bad you couldn´t see me live. I´m very charming and even more bolder in my Casanova role. Perhaps I would make you to kiss my hand, or perhaps I would bow and kiss you. Who knows, it depends all on my mood. It´s never the same. Would be boring if I would do always the same, right?
Ha, indeed I have notice that, you can be really easily distracted.
Ah, my pleasure. It was funny. Its simply awesome when you have the jester's license. In fact the people wants that I go a bit to far. This years I flirt and kissed the boss of my boss XD Normally we are very formal and she is a real big boss. She have a lot influence and power in my city.
I must admit, after the festival I wasn´t sure if I did the right thing. But when I´m in a role I simply forget myself and act like the role I have. And as Casanova, well, you surely don´t hold back.
Later I found out she enjoys my play and was really pleased that I choose her this year. (And I've learned that she even appreciates me as an staff, who would have thought that.)
As you surely know, the german TV was there again. A few days before the festival I was told they want me for an Interview and follow me the whole day. ect, ect. They filmed as I painted the dancers for the mask ball, how I dance ect, ect.
It seems it was a success, my friends where all happy with the report. I didn´t saw it, and I can´t tell you what I said XD I wasn't nervous but I simply can´t remember what I said. I was sure, however, I said something stupid. Fortunately I was wrong. I did a great job.
For what it's worth, lets come to the real fun.
What I love the most is to dance and act. To be in the spotlight. I dig that. I need it.
At Friday I have the chance to play with the audience. I love the Friday, the best day ever. After a few elegant bows and a playing with the lips of a shocked man, I saw a shy woman in the back row. A Muslim woman with her husband. Oh, what a fun!!! >:-D
Her husband almost killed me as I kissed her hand and cheek. I believe when she had not been sitting she would have faint. @.@
The crowd grinned, her husband was content with murder thoughts and I had a sense of delight!
...to be continued...

Not to mention that people who visit the festival often, knows me. And because of the article in the paper, even more people knows me. *laugh* It was quite amusing. Without arrogance I can say I got never so much flash lights in my face as on this evening. I almost got blind *_* (Not good when you have not much space to walk. A serious problem really.)
Anyway, at the end of the festival, I was just about to leave the stage of the royal garden, when suddenly some screams and voices from the audience came.
It was like „AHHH CASANOVA!! We love youuu, Over here! Casanova!“
( I didn't see them, the spot lights are bright but I can say the most them were women. I think just one, but not more then two men.)
It was not only flattering and super cool just because that stuff is flattering and super cool. No, the people of my city are very aloof and don´t show emotion very much. And certainly not that kind of passion. So its even more better when you hear something like that. ^_^
Also. Normally my chest is tied. But because of the TV, I had no time to tie everything. And my curves are very feminine. (well, thanks god.) The frock coat hides a lot, but when you're close to me, you can see that I am a woman. And still I have so many female fans, this is awesome, of course. (Although, I prefer the male fans XD)
Anyway, how does Casanova react to so much enthusiasm in the crowd? What is your guess?
And thank you very much for the compliment. It honors me. It gives me a real kick. *rawr*
I would lie if I would say „Nah, I´m not that good.“ When it comes to my hobbies I love compliments.

I understand altruism with both my head and my heart. What does being greedy and restless have to do with it?
Perhaps some night I will have an opportunity to see you dance live and in person. Do you think you would spot me in the crowd? It's interesting the way that playing a role can change a person, isn't it? I've been on the stage a number of times in my life and it's an almost freeing experience. A mask makes us bold when we might otherwise be timid or reserved. You can say or do whatever you want without consequence because your words and actions are not your own.
It sounds like you had a marvelous time. It must have been breathtaking to experience such reactions from your fans. How do I think Casanova would react to such enthusiasm? He would encourage it, of course. It would inflate his ego even more.

No plans hmn? The nightmare of every German. We even have plans for the plans! ;-)
I can understand that this is exciting for you. For the boy no less exciting. No wonder, of course. Then lets see what happen, right?
O.O Oh, my beloved Armand, if you ask me that question, you haven´t understand it with your heart. It's not terrible, you can´t know everything. I love you anyway.
Ah, what a tempting thought. I´m sure you would be delighted, to see me dance.
At Friday, where I can be everywhere in the crowd, yes, without a doubt. I would find, I would see you. I bet my last penny on that.
Saturday could be difficult if your sitting at the tribune. That´s to far away from the dance-floor and the spotlights are really bright.
Sunday doesn't matter for you because it's just at day.
Of course I wouldn´t miss the chance and would be at your side, faster then any vampire could run! I wonder, would you be an iceberg or would you play, or dance with me?
Absolutely. When I have a role I play it, no matter what. Powerful angel, Casanova, Holy Mary, shy Countess, The Weathermaker, a vampire, ect whatever. (Btw, I was a good evil vamp!) No problem.
What can I add more? Perfectly described. Do you still like to act on stage, or lies that all in the past? And what was or is your favorite role?
Ha. Ja. Masks! Would you wear a mask at the rococo festival? (The audience can wear whatever it wants. Many wear costumes) If you really wear a mask, please, do not take a mask that covers your entire face. How should I kiss you otherwise?
It was breathtaking, indeed. Ha. You are right, of course. And a lot of kisses and elegant bows! And the answer from the women were: AAHHH IIKKKK!! XDDD
I had a lot of fun.

If I were to watch you dance from within the crowd, I would wear a mask for certain, but only covering my eyes and nose. I certainly hope that Casanova would save a dance for me. I know the old steps well enough, but it's been a very long time and I might need to follow your lead. Would that amuse you? As for that kiss, would you really be so bold?
I haven't been on the stage in well over two centuries, but back in the time of the Theatre des Vampires, Nicolas often cast me as Death or the Devil, both of which I enjoyed immensely.
Reply
or significant serious things, I love to have an plan. And be sure, my plans are good.
You wouldn't be an Iceberg? So no need to unfreezing you, hmn? And even hoping for a dance. Olala. I like the Ideas more as I want to admit. (Oh,umm, please, let your hair long. ^.^ )
HA. Amuse me? I think there is less that could amuse me more. I must inform you, however, I take the lead anyway, I´m taller than you and I play the role of the greatest lover of the world. Do you really think you would have the chance to take the lead? Tsk.
As for the dance, I would choose the Sarabande by Georg Friedrich Händel. It's the slowest dance and quite fitting for a vampire. The dance of death, what would be better?
The kiss. Do I really must give an answer? Do you really have any doubts? Or do you enjoy my love and passion so much that you just wanna hear it? Hmm, yes, the last choice, of course. Well then, then allow me...
...Да, г-н Арманд, я бы так смело!!
Ah, what a celestial pleasure to taste your lips and tongue, and feel your fangs. So very venturous. Even if would be my death, damn it, I would never ever miss the chance to steal a kiss from you. The devil himself couldn´t stop be, be sure of that. You know my love, you know my passion very well. And at the festival I have a passionate mood the whole time. Besides, what reason could I have to hold back?!??? Tell me one reason, jeez! xD
And as you know, nobody can blame me when I dare to kiss someone, Casanova is certainly a séducteur. I'm totally aware, of course, that everyone love that. (No worries, I´m a good kisser)
But if you wonder if I would do it in RL, also not in the Casanova role, then, I guess I would not. I would see it as rudeness and...weakness. Besides, I'm an old fashioned woman, I don't make the first step. XP
...Mostly at least.
Ha. But of course. The fallen one in the dress of an angel. Or the Reaper in a boyish form. What a nice Idea. Have that special something, right? Have you killed mortals on stage?
Do you know the Commedia dell'arte? And if yes, what do you think about it?
Btw, what kind of mask will you wear?
...And, because its you, I will show you how my mask looks like. I do not know if I showed it already, its the case then sorry.
Oh I will not post the photos for eternity. I mean, If someone wants me, he/she should visit me and see me dance. ^^

Yes, I've killed many mortals on stage. It's rather exhilarating to do it in such a public setting. I don't usually have an audience when I take a life.
I know of the Commedia dell'arte, of course. What do I think of it in general? I always enjoy improvisation in performances. Following a script can be rather dull. Who doesn't appreciate a little of the unexpected, hm? Do you know of Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol?
Reply
HA! How very fitting for my devil! You a black one, I a silver one. And again, perfect, hmn?
Indeed? Is this fact really a surprise to you? But you know I would do it, right?
The fangs are a part of you, and I want everything. Besides, wouldn't you disappointed if I wouldn't come close to you? Perhaps you would enjoy me even more as I would enjoy you. *laugh* Who knows. I would welcome a little battle with you.
*laugh* Hmm, Casanova might survive it, but would I? I think the real question, would I care. Would you care?
But on stage you killed differently, yes? Normally you call for them and they with a death wish come to you. On stage, it was a other case.
What I think of it ? What I like very much is the fact that at the Commedia dell'Arte the female roles were played for the first time not by men, but by women. A revolution in the theater world.
Anyway, If I had lived in this time, I would certainly have been a part of it. It have something magical, something unique. And funny. It´s a own world of the infinite land of the theater, don´t you think?
I always wondered how and what I would play. ( Of course I have the possibility with my dance crew to play in that way a bit, but thats not the same.)
I would enjoy the Pagliaccio. Brighella is also a good choice. Even though the Brighella is male, I´m sure I would play a good female Brighella. ^^
What about you?
I love both. And I dare to say I can play both. Improvisation or following a scrip. A wonderful thing.
Unexpected can be thrilling indeed. And again, I also enjoy it when I can foreseen what happens. Not only theater but life general.
Yes. Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol was to be found in Paris's amusement district, right? Unfortunately, I don´t know the name of the district. The founder had the Name...Oskar something. XD I'm not good with names. Especially French names.
The Theater was specialised in naturalistic horror performance. I've read the shows were really scary and brutal. Like a splatter movie. Why do you think like people this ind of stuff?
As a teenager and as young adult I would certainly have watch some plays. I don't know if I would do it now. Not sure if it would give me chills, perhaps with the right person at my side.
Anyway, no surprise you know and love that. I think you visit some shows, right? What have you think about it when you saw these plays?
And had you ever been a part of it, perhaps for one evening? And you've been fired because you killed an actor? (With full intention, of course.)
Psst: Btw, I hope I did a good job with your boy. He seems so very fragile to me.

As for being a part of the Commedia dell'Arte if you had existed in that time, I'm not certain that you would find it as exciting as you might hope for. The life of an actor was never an easy one and you were unlikely to earn enough money to even survive.
Yes, Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol was found in the Pigalle area of Paris. Its founder was Oscar Méténier. We were performing such horror shows at the Théâtre de Vampires long before the existence of the Grand-Guignol, so the plays were hardly original, though many believe them to be. Of course, our bloody murder scenes were far more realistic. I think people enjoyed these types of plays because they were shocking and disturbing enough to provide that rush of adrenaline that comes with fear. Is that not why horror films are still so popular even now?
Regarding Owen, I did read some of your conversations and you have nothing to be concerned about. He may seem fragile, but I can assure you that he is not.

I thought quite awhile about that question. The only thing that Casanova and I have in common is that we both are elegant, but I cant live that side in my life very much. The same goes for the charm. In RL and this day and age is this kind of charm a bit odd. At least in germany.😅
The humor is the only thing we gave in common to 100%
Everything else is just acting. (Very disapponiting, eh?)
Casanova, the man I play, is a man I would love and adore. And it seems many other women feels the same. Otherwise I wouldn't be that popular. So you can say I play the man of my dreams. Ha. That is so sad. 😃😅😁
Im aware of that. But you should know me. When I love something I dont mind the suffering. Im loyal to the very end with love and passion.
(How else can I love you for such a long time without getting mad and losing interest?)
Besides, I always find a way to earn money. Even without being naugthy or pathetic. Thats in this life the case, it wouldnt be different in that age.
But yes, it would have been a very hard life. A hard life with the pure essence of life. Ah. What a dream.
Of course you are right. But it us only the adrenaline that make the horror so thrilling?
Hmm, not so sure about that. Perhaps fragil is not the right word. In any case I dont wanna hurt or offer the little one.
I know that Im sometimes a bit to honest (thats a german sickness!!) and that my way if speaking is not for everyone clear or easy to understand.
You know me for a long time now. You know how to handle me. Oh wait, maybe not always. Maybe my fire burns you now and then. 😘

You are certainly loyal in your love and devotion. The fact that you never become angry or frustrated in our interactions is nothing short of a miracle.
Can there really be such a thing as too much honesty? I always know how to handle you, Sunstone.

*laugh* And what makes you thinks that? Because its much more playful then Germany?
*nod, nod* Good that you notice! *pet Armands head*
Yeah, I´m a miracle! Seriously though. I can be angry or frustrated. I really can!
HA!!! So, and what makes you think you can always handle me???
Yes, on this planet, its a sad truth. Sometimes, or even very often, you must be silent. Many don't wanna hear the truth. And you dig your own grave when you are be to honest. So I've learned to shut up. No lies, just to shut up XD
But granted, sometimes I simply can't hold back and speak whats in my mind. I got often problems with that. But because I never lied, I never got problems with my work or the law. However, I was never popular and many of my bosses said: "Yes, you are right. I know that, but don´t be always so good and honest. Can you be at least once one of the bad guys?" XPPP (That is no joke.)
Little me: Nope! XD For love and justice!
