[Fairly late in the evening, a message comes up on the network--]

Does anyone have any advice for help with sleep troubles?

I just arrived at the beginning of the month, and I don't think I've had a restful night since then.

I suppose it doesn't help that I haven't decided whether to try and remain nocturnal or not, but I'd settle for anything if it meant getting some sleep.




[And then, much later in the evening--]

How do other vampires handle living in a climate like this?

Even with this air conditioner on, it's too hot.

Oh, so like a cloak with sleeves?

[Close enough??]

A parasol isn't a bad idea. It'd have to be big enough to cover me from the sun, but then I wouldn't be overheating.

Though admittedly, I'm not very accustomed to being so under-dressed in public. I know it's the local fashion, but these "kimono" all just feel like thin bathrobes to me.

It's like a jacket with a hood on it, basically. Sometimes kind of like a sweater with a hood. Both: very good for snuggling, when you want to be a snuggler.

Anyyyyway. You should probably have more layers. You... you are wearing your hadajuban and everything, right? Or a fundoshi? Or a momohiki??? Your nagajuban??

Please tell me you're not running around in one layer and calling it good...

[steponme]

Of course I wear layers! But that doesn't really change the feeling.

I usually wore a corset back home, so even adding more layers doesn't really change the fact that the material is so loose and flowy like a robe.

[He's a victorian steampunk vampire okay, he need ten different layers at all times.]

[shutter_hime]

[huh.]

Well, they do sell corsets; you can wear them over your kimono in place of the obi, and hakama if you want a more pants-like feeling. We will figure this out!!
