The Stark is strong in this one…
TBH I think they sometimes DO try out jobs for fun, Undercover Boss-style. They also challenge each other to take on crappy/difficult jobs and see who can last the longest…
(Armand doesn’t like doing this bc ppl assume he’s one of the bosses’ kids or an intern. He deliberately spills coffee on their workstations for such offensive thoughts.)
Lestat’s diary entry: “Night 3 at Jamba Juice, Armand shows no sign of weakness. I MUST NOT QUIT BEFORE HE DOES”
For serious thoughts on Lestat’s choice of serious jobs, hit the jump.
Lestat is curious about a lot of modern jobs, many of which didn’t even exist in his mortal life, and has probably charmed his way into many, just to try them out. Here’s a list of jobs he might like, if he chose to work (and I use the term “work” very loosely with him):
- Musician – of all possible jobs, I think he would be happiest going under a pseudonym, as a trust-fund baby, in a hipster-ish 80’s cover band… doing Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, and the Vampire Lestat (tee hee!) hits. Often, he’d reinterpret/rearrange these songs based on the abilities of the other musicians in his band, and for a musical challenge. People comment on his resemblance to the “real” Lestat, and he’s always nonchalant on the surface, but in truth deeply flattered that they remember the “real” one at all ;A;
- Antique or jewelry appraiser/ art curator – we know he is a lover of furniture and having lived through some of the eras (and with his enhanced senses) he would instantly know a fake from the real thing.
- Fashion designer – a true clothes-horse and fabric- and trimmings-enthusiast! but would probably never touch a needle or sewing machine himself. He would probably be happiest at D & G or Versace, where glamour meets risque and/or comedy.
- Advertising – He’s the Don Draper of vampires, no? He can sell anything to anyone. MIND GIFT.
- Chocolatier – he may not be able to taste it, but he can smell it. He could employ tasters. He’d certainly go all-out with the packaging.
- Writer/Illustrator– well, he already does this, but he should really have more of a presence at Comicon, no? He’s got a hidden drawing talent that even he doesn’t know about.
- Driving instructor – probably not a good idea to take lessons from him on this, but I bet he would enjoy doing it, scaring the hell out of the student drivers
and everyone else on the road! - Yoga instructor – He is flexible. He’d probably get alot out of seeing his students in spandex. Could he teach relaxation? Probably not.
- Florist – Louis I brung u les fleurs! He does love flowers. ALOT.
- French teacher – he wouldn’t suffer any plaisantins in his class repeatedly asking him to tell them the French word for “seal.” It’s le phoque, pronounced like, “leh fuck.” My poor French teacher from Belgium didn’t know American slang…
- Manny – a male nanny. Very hip on the Upper West Side here in NY. Lestat does love kids. He is great with them, for the most part. Until they decide he doesn’t know how to parent and they try to assassinate him.
- Private detective – he already uses his mind gift powers to hunt for bad guys, why not get paid for it, too? Difficulty level: Can’t eat the bad guys. Must turn over to law enforcement, no snacking on the job.
- Translator – Difficulty level: actually translating what the speaker is saying/writing WITHOUT mischievously adding/subtracting anything and causing an international war through miscommunication!
