The Voyage — Movie Night~
(( cw: mentions of blood/gore ))

- Having been on the cruise ship before, Conrad isn't exactly thrilled to be at sea again and he's not really keen on traipsing about the decks. He'll stick to his quarters most of the time, leaving to visit the kitchen or the bar only when he's hungry. He's not exactly in the mood for Halloween festivities, with one exception...

Going to the theatre to watch some horror movies is something he can actually get a little excited about. Whether he's alone or someone tags along with him, it doesn't matter, he's going to enjoy himself. Maybe he'll get to see a movie he's familiar with, and regardless, bloody horror flicks appeal to his natural vampiric inclinations. Don't pay him any mind as he utters a few pleasant hums or his eyes give off a faint red glow in the dark theatre. He's just really into the cinematic experience of watching a bloodbath on the big screen.


Reach Up High — Poor Unfortunate Souls~

- Since he is undead, Conrad can't exactly warm a soul using body heat. He's as cold as a corpse. And he's not the cuddling type, anyway. So if he's going to heat up a ghost, he needs to find another way, and if a ghost wants a hot cup of tea, sure why not? At least he thinks that's what the spirit wants. It's been hanging around, murmuring something about needing relief from the bitter cold, and it followed him all the way to the ship's kitchen.

Even though he's wary of vengeful spirits, Conrad's willing to help and he takes some pleasure in performing domestic tasks. Since he became a vampire he misses the mundane little things he did when he was alive. He puts a kettle on the stove and attempts to make some idle conversation with the soul while the water boils, but that really doesn't go anywhere.

If anyone else comes along, he'll feel just a little awkward, and wonder if what he's doing is actually completely ridiculous. He should probably explain himself. "I, uh... I was just making some tea for the, erm, ghost..." And he gestures toward the spirit who is floating a few inches above one of the chairs at the kitchen counter. Yeah, this has to look pretty weird, right? He'd rather show the spirits some kindness, though, and attempt to give them what they want. It's definitely preferable to the cruelty of stuffing them into jars or bottles or whatever.


Follow Me Down — Tricks-N-Treats~

- Getting roped into doing trick-or-treat is mildly infuriating and something he'd hoped to avoid this year. But, of course, he has no such luck. As a vampire, Conrad doesn't really need to dress up for Halloween, does he? Well, the demon who's strong-arming him into this humiliation doesn't quite agree. He's told he at least needs to lose the glasses, they make him look too nerdy. And he should bear his fangs more, even though he really only has the one prominent snaggle-tooth.

Conrad complies, albeit begrudgingly, as he's terribly nearsighted and usually tries to hide his fang as best he can. He's given a candy bucket and taken to the first cabin to begin his trick-or-treating tour. "I'm definitely WAY too old for this nonsense," he grouses but knocks as the demon who's escorting him keeps a watchful eye.


- When Conrad is back in his room for the evening and there's a knock at the door, he'll answer it if someone is persistent enough. He'll look more than a little annoyed, even if he knows the person being forced to trick-or-treat has no real say in the matter.

"Here, um- Just hold on a second." Since his strict diet doesn't allow him to eat any candy, the chocolates he was given by demons while trick-or-treating are just going to go to waste unless he gives them away. So he dips into his candy haul and forks over a few pieces. He really doesn't want to have to deal with being tricked because he got stingy with the sweets.
