What's been going on: Horst arrived in Taxon at the beginning of February, where he was greeted by a confusing Sherlock Holmes and a patient Mayland Long, the latter of which helped him dig through blueprints in the library to find a suitable home. On his first day, he got slapped in the face by Nuada Silverlance. On his second day, he got slapped in the face by Jason Blood. He swears this has never, ever happened to him before.
While riding the train, he chatted up all three former residents of the Outer Zone, learned what makes Metody dress the way she does, and convinced Sherlock to reprogram his tablet for him and give him a bit of advice on the subject of modern fashion.
While wandering in the Adventure Zone, looking for something Jason mentioned in their brief conversation, he instead happened upon and attempted to battle Oolong, who had a hearty cackle at Horst's silliness, managed to get Horst to share the story of how he became a vampire, and finally boosted him up through the window of a goblin-infested castle tower, where Horst rescued, and, errr, slept with the kidnapped Extra princess. The next time he saw her, however, she'd been kidnapped to the tower again, and didn't remember him or the previous rescue at all. He swears this has never, ever happened to him before, either.
Also during this month, Horst used the remains of his little stipend to buy some decent modern clothes, explored the city on foot, and traipsed off into the forest to catch a wild rabbit whom he's named Liesl. Being of a philosophical bent, Horst is frequently preoccupied with questions about the nature of the Extras who inhabit their world, and trying to understand and define their level of sentience so he can decide what to make of them -- to this end, Liesl is his first experiment, in hopes of understanding to what degree the Extras can or will grow, learn, or evolve given persistent and extended interaction with Taxon's fully sentient captive population.
Being a social creature, (even if the only socializing to be had is usually with Extras), and stuck with the relatively limited employment options that the graveyard shift offers, Horst opted to take up a job in the service industry, and can be found happily waiting tables and serving up food behind the counter of a cute, stereotypical-looking 24-hour Diner.
Late in this month, Horst's brother Johannes appeared in Taxon. They met up, exchanged strong words, and Horst slapped him, proving there really must be something in the water in Taxon that causes people to slap each other upon first meeting. Then they hugged it out. Johannes and Horst currently live in the same house, where they jointly embarrass themselves by not knowing how to use the voice-to-text interface on Horst's tablet properly. And that's February.
Things to do this month: If your character just hasn't met Horst yet, let's meet! He promises you, kid, to give so much more than he gets. :3 Horst's natural purpose in life is to overbearingly meddle in the lives of the people he cares about, a goal he can't pursue without having a good sampling of people he cares about. I mean, sure, he could meddle in the lives of strangers, but that's no way to make friends -- you have to make friends first, then you can decide how you think your friends' lives can be improved. (A sales pitch that no doubt would make anyone want to befriend him, I'm sure.) Let's meet, let's go out on the town, let's talk armchair philosophy and explore the confines of the prison. Find me and we'll thread something. If you show up at the diner looking like you've Had a Rough Day, Horst will give you free pie. (Disclaimer: We are not responsible for any Johanneses incurred in the process of meeting Horst Cabal.)
Horst is currently freshly fed (thanks Johannes, that's what family's for), so he's not hard up for blood at this point, and he currently looks very much like a live person and not like a corpse. Being post-mortem, he stands to be fairly well-off in Taxsicle, since he won't freeze to death -- and he can get from place to place quite quickly on foot, so if you need him to run an errand for you at night, it's not out of the question. When he's not moving at super-speed, however, he does lose heat quite quickly, since he generates no body heat of his own, so please don't leave him waiting at the door, or you may find he suddenly requires thawing out under a heat lamp before you can pry whatever he brought you out of his frozen hand.
