check-in check-in check-in (vampwolves only)

[thornsofmalkav]

[Thorne's mental voice come in clear, early into the first night.]

Hey. I figured someone should do a check-in? I've been listening to people talk and we're in a place named Samartia. Dunno where that is besides Eastern Europe. I'll find a map later.

Anyway, we're in vampire and werewolf territory. They think you guys are something called corvigers? Uh, those are people who work for the supernaturals. We called them ghouls back home.

And there's this election thing going on. It's like their first time? I'm passing myself off as an elections observer. So's Melissa. If people want, they can pretend to be our human staff. Just let us know.

Someone called him Daneel. I think he's that robot guy. Not a robot now, but.

[someonetocarry]

Guessin' he ain't a robot here. I'll listen for the name.

You worked out a place to stay yet?

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah! Vampire Zed is going to put us up at his place. And I sold the secret of alcoholic blood to him, so we'll have plenty of spending money.

[someonetocarry]

Is that gonna be a problem? Us changin' somethin' like that, bringing in... blood booze?

[thornsofmalkav]

I have no clue, but the Trumps should have dumped us here with money in our pockets if they didn't want something like this to happen. Anyway, back home we've known how to make booze blood since forever. I'm honestly surprised no one here figured it out. It's really simple.

[someonetocarry]

I'll hafta take your word on that. There anythin' else you think I oughta know before I try to get myself taken in by one of these folk here?

[thornsofmalkav]

... I don't know if the same rules apply here, but just in case they do: don't drink any vampire blood if you can help it. Not even if they tell you it will do cool stuff like prolong your lifespan or make you extra-strong.

[someonetocarry]

Ain't gonna drink nothin' that ain't water, milk, tea, or juice, promise. Got no idea what that stuff'll do to a growin' baby, so I'm playin' it safe.

[thornsofmalkav]

Good. It. Um. Can have psychological effects. At least back home.

[someonetocarry]

Should I be askin' what those are, now? Or is it best left vague like that?

[Because even over the psychic network, devoid of tone as it is, that still sounded awkward and hesitant.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Probably best left vague for now.

[It's not something she wants to discuss in public.]
