Build-n-Share Challenge #219-220 • A Most Unusual Client
As you put the finishing touches to your pumpkin carving, Rose knocks on the door.
"Umm, your client is here." Wondering why she looks a little white you ask her to show them in.
Immedaitely you understand Rose's reticence when you see who she leads through the door.
"Good evening." You say, hopefully managing to keep your shock from registering on your face.
"Good evening!" Comes the hearty reply, in a slight Slavic accent.
"I understand that you have come to commission a new home."
"That is correct, I am new to Sunset Valley and there is nothing here that suits my, let's say, bespoke, requirements." Your client chuckles, never, ever, would you have believed that you would witness Count Dracula chuckle!
"Let's go over those requirements shall we?"
"Certainly, I don't want to live in a fusty old mansion, as the stereotypes would lead you to believe, other than that you have free range on the design. Now of course, I sleep for most of the day as sunlight can prove incredibly hazardous to my health, however, I do like to garden in the moonlight, so an area for a vegetable garden is a must. There needn't be much in the way of flower beds though, I find it almost depressing to think that I won't get to see the plants flower. As most of my time at home will be during the night time hours, I also need to ensure that the rooms are well lit.
With regards to the specifics, I would like to have at least 3 self contained bedroom suites, that means full en-suites for all the rooms, one for myself and two for my, well, let's call them, guests. If you can fit in any further bedrooms, please ensure that they are also self contained. I would like a relatively large and well appointed kitchen, I have been known to cook up a batch or two of soup for the local soup kitchen. Someone has to ensure that the less fortunate residents are well fed, you never know when your next meal will be. Talking of food, I require a formal dining area for entertaining, as well as a more informal area for my own personal meal times, this area must include a 3 tile table, I like to spread things out when I eat.
I need a large open plan area to entertain my other Supernatural Friends, it would of course be helpful if this could be decorated in the spirit of All Hallows Eve. I would like the theme to stop there though, I can't abide the thought of having to live full time in a spooky house. An indoor pool would be nice." He adds, almost as an afterthought.
"Books!! How could I forget my books, I will most definitely need a large, possibly two story library to store my wonderful collection of books.
"What sort of budget are we looking at here Sir?"
The Count looks thoughtful, almost peaceful as he ponders this question.
"Budget you say? Well, let's just say that I am sure whatever you spend, I will be more than able to cover."
Yes! You think to yourself, as you mull over the possibilities of an unlimited budget.
As the Count reaches over to shake your hand, you are very careful not to be drawn into his big black eyes, like giant pools of oil, you feel your knees becoming week as he holds your gaze.
The count coughs and you are bought back to your senses.
"It was a pleasure to meet you my dear." Again, that slight smile and chuckle.
He walks towards the door, allowing you to regain your composure.
"We'll be sure to have everything ready for you in time for All Hallows Eve."
"I don't doubt it." He says as he disappears into the night.
