Conrad's Winter Classes / Catchall~
Who: Conrad & Anyone~
What: Conrad's Art Classes + Office/Studio Hours Etc.
Where: Classrooms, Office, Who Knows?
Warnings: Artistic Nudity, Sexy Themes, & Blood
Art As Therapy —
( CW: may contain heavy topics, warnings where appropriate )
- The primary purpose of this class is to let students explore their emotions regarding their becoming. A student can dive into what they find distressing or frustrating about their transformation process and work through some things. But, really, art can be therapeutic in general and a student's art doesn't have to pertain to their budding vampirism.
In this class, Conrad will stress that students don't need to know any art techniques and they needn't think of themselves as artistic or creative, either. They can just be and do as they wish. Conrad will help students pick what medium they want to use to express themselves, if they like, be it drawing, sculpture, collage, print-making, or painting. Or he can be more hands-off if a student prefers that.
During class, he asks his students to discuss their finished works, if they want, and he'll ask his students about their creative process as they're working. Or if a student just wants to create art as a means to feel fulfilled and de-stressed, that's all well and good, too. A student can share as much or as little as they wish, it's not like Conrad's going to push anyone to share anything they rather not divulge. His questioning will be along the lines of, "What would you like to discuss about this particular piece?"
And Conrad will allow students to work with him one-on-one if they don't want to create art in the classroom with other students around. He can give individuals as much time as they need. He's a pretty laid-back teacher, in general, and he's especially so in this particular class. He doesn't want to give his students anything new to stress about.
In The Studio and Office Hours —
( CW: possible nudity, blood )
- Conrad's other classes include Art Appreciation, Intermediate Painting, and Life (and death) Drawing. Feel free to sit in on a class or work on something artsy, even if you haven't signed up for any of his classes. And when Conrad isn't teaching he can be found between classes either grading his students' work or working on his own personal projects. Catch him when he has some downtime, share a drink with him, or come on in and criticize his art and make him crabby(er).
Do note that there will be depictions of artistic nudity in pretty much all his classes. His advanced classes focus more on the vampire masters and also portray a lot more gore and 100% real blood as that appeals to vampiric appetites and all. The art that is studied can also get more than a little saucy. And while Conrad is pretty flexible and mellow when it comes to his teaching style, if anyone disrespects the thralls that pose as live nudes he'll kick you out of his classroom without a warning. Acting like a total creep will get you a failing grade, keep that in mind.
Of Bats and Blood —
( CW: blood/bleeding )
- It's rather cliche, for sure, but Conrad turns into a small pudgy bat. Why is he so fat as a bat when he's such a skinny thing of a man? Who knows. It's a mystery. Anyway, even when it's not daytime Conrad can be found in his bat form looking like he's having a snooze, hanging from a rafter or chair or along the wall, somewhere cozy. But, actually, he's not asleep, he's just eaten too much. As a vampire bat he can consume quite a lot of blood for his size, but that means he has a hard time flying. So he has to relax while he digests. He'll try to climb up onto a perch, but if he can't he can be seen hopping along the ground heading for his suite, or just somewhere to hide out for a while. He is very small and when you're that size you kind of just want to get away from people as they're basically giants who could easily squash a little bat like him.
- Conrad doesn't consume blood as a bat too terribly often because, well, then when he turns back into himself he'll just be hungry again. He gets to feel nice and full for a while, but a bat can only drink a few thimblefuls of blood and he needs far more than that.
He gets his meals from the willing thralls, of course, but he doesn't always feel like biting them. So he'll ask them to bleed for him, collecting the blood in a vessel, like a chalice or what have you. Is that a rather strange thing for a vampire to do? Probably. While he may enjoy the act of biting, he's still picky about who he bites. He doesn't want to put his mouth on just any warm body. He's a little shy about the whole drinking blood from a cup thing, though. He expects it to be viewed as strange and he might receive some snide remarks or something. It's easy to catch him in the act, though. He usually feeds when he's particularly famished and he can be found in the basement kitchens requesting a hot cup of blood, waiting rather impatiently as his human drinking fountain fills it up.
Bad Romance —
( CW: sexy literature )
- Conrad really isn't one to read sappy romances or smut so much, but he ended up keeping a few of the steamy romance novels that the librarians gave out to everyone. Of course, he doesn't want anyone to see him reading them, however, so he has them hidden in his desk. But the fact he has a secret stash can be found out pretty easily. He's not great at hiding things and even if he tries to be stealthy he can be caught red-handed. He'll just try in vain to pretend he's not reading about forbidden human/vampire love or whatever. That's really the genre that intrigues him most. Though, he also kept one book that's about a tender yet tragic vampire romance between two fellows and one that's less romantic and more spicy featuring a strong, confident woman who can tie up her man and practically bends him in half. Definitely some interesting reads.
