[Blood.]

[Dripping down every door in the onsen.]

[Human blood, rich and fresh, slipping to the floors, slowly, then disappearing into nothing. The flow goes on like a wound that will not clot. And of course, there is the smell.]

[It's perfectly real, perfectly nutritious for those with a sanguine diet. Some of it is the night-and-starlight blood of those who have died on the Plane.]

[And it just won't seem to wash off.]

[ooc; What? He was bored, and he figures that the vampires are probably a bit hungry. As Scarecrow isn't going to own up to What He Does When Given Shiny Rings, feel free to use this as an event post. That is, other characters are encouraged to comment to each other, because Dr Crane won't be responding to everyone about it. This effect will last until the end of the plot.]

I've given you fangs and drinking blood- what else do you want?

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

...wait, fangs? I don't remember fangs.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

[Yeah; he'll be pointing at his mouth now] do you see them now?

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

...oh.

[And suddenly, it all clicks together. Sure, he saw the guy sucking blood, and he kept claiming he was a vampire, but somehow, the evidence didn't tie itself together until just now.]

Oh.

So you're...really a vampire.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

[He lets his hand drop; looking rather awkward about everything]

...Yes, and I have been for years.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

But that doesn't make any sense! [He leans against a thankfully not-bloody spot on the wall to make sure he's not going to fall over.]

I mean...how can that even be possible?

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

Something about a deal with the devil; though I'm not sure if I really believe that version.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

But, I mean, if vampires existed, wouldn't that be common knowledge by now?

If vampires exist, then what's next...? Magic? Fairies? Ghosts?

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

...We aren't idiots; we don't go around holding banners up proclaiming ourselves or anything.

I have no idea; have you seen any here?

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Oh...well, I guess that makes sense... [yes, including the part about sucking people's blood out their necks in the dead of night.]

I don't even know anymore! If there are vampires around here, what else could there be?!

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

Indeed; perfect sense [he actually believes that too]

I don't know- but I doubt anything that bad could happen; some laws still have to apply [Oh Sorin]

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

But...that's not the point! They'd exist when they're not supposed to!

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

I... [{Pause] That's definitely a problem- but I don't know how to fix it if they do show up.
