great.

second important question: i'm assuming the no sunlight thing is a... thing? or is that just a myth?

[administration]

if by thing you mean smoking, burning, dying... then yes, it's a thing.

[gayopolis]

[ well. that sounds pleasant. excellent visual. ]

yeah. that.

so ideally if you were going to go out somewhere for like a drink or something, what would be the earliest you could do that comfortably?

[administration]

[ you're welcome. ]

the sun is setting earlier now, so seven? eight?
most people need time to wake up before they go out drinking.

[gayopolis]

great. i'll see you at s-morgue-asbord at 8.

[administration]

[ huh. ]

for the record, is this a date?

[gayopolis]

it could be, if you want.

[administration]

is that what you want?

[gayopolis]

what i want is to go get a drink with you. if that happens to mean it's a date, well then i wouldn't really be opposed to calling it one.

[administration]

fine.
then for my own reference, it's a date.

1/2

[gayopolis]

for your own reference?

also, you don't have to dress up or anything.

[gayopolis]

unless you don't actually own anything casual? is that also a vampire thing - suits and starched collars 24/7?

[administration]

this seems to fit the criteria of a date, so i'm classifying it as one.
for conceptual and organizational purposes.
need to know.

[ please don't make him explain his methods for getting a handle on how dates work. ]

in my experience, vampires just like to put years of wealth to good use.
i can dress down.

[ somewhat. ]

[gayopolis]

conceptual and organizational purposes. right.

out of curiosity - have you ever been on a date before?

[ because it's starting to sound like a no... ]

for the record, you can wear whatever you want.

[administration]

i wouldn't expect you to understand. [ hopefully gentle condescension translates. ]

yes.

[ he's been on one, officially, and maybe three, unofficially. and there might have been a few get-togethers in his youth that might have counted as dates. not that justin needs to know any of that. ]

i will.
i guess you can do the same.

[gayopolis]

you could try me. i might surprise you.

i was planning on it.

[ it's not as if justin has a closet full of dress shirts and business suits, so it's either he dresses down or he doesn't dress at all, and s-morgue-asbord probably has some kind of dress code, so. ]

[administration]

maybe next time. [ let him be private and uncertain about this one, justin. ]

what's casual for you?

[ s-morgue-asbord better have a dress code, or else raphael is going to lose interest fast. ]

[gayopolis]

jeans and a t-shirt?

[ but then he considers how raphael dresses, so: ]

jeans and a collared shirt?

[administration]

[ a valiant effort, justin. ]

i don't own jeans.

[gayopolis]

how do you not own a single pair of jeans?

[administration]

because i don't want or need them.

[gayopolis]

okay, but have you ever worn them? please tell me you've at least worn them before.

[administration]

yes, i've worn them.
in the 50s.

[gayopolis]

in the 50s.
were you a greaser? tight jeans, cuffed at the ankles, hair slicked back?

[administration]

that was the style at the time, yes.

[ which is not quite a yes or a no. ]
