☽ II: video

[inabluemoon]

[Vanitas is seated with his chin propped up in one hand when the video comes on. He looks significantly calmer (and less Sanguis-y) than the last time he made a post like this.]

Bonjour. I've done this once before, but I feel as though I wouldn't be doing my due diligence if I just relied on snooping and idle gossip.

[He straightens up, a hand going to his chest with an undeniably cocky grin.]

So! My name is Vanitas and I am a doctor to vampires, although I myself am just an average human. In an attempt to better understand the nature of the world we currently find ourselves in and those that all of you are from I have a request! I'd like to hear all of your "legends" about vampires. It's become clear that despite the wide variety of worlds represented here vampires are a reality in very few, so I'm curious about where your preconceived notions of them stem from.

Of course if you yourself happen to be a vampire or personally acquainted with any I'm even more interested in you. Don't hesitate to come forward and chat with me, I'll even be accommodating if you want to do so anonymously.

[He waves a gloved hand that ends in sharp nails.] Au revoir~

Hm? Do vampires kill people a lot where you live?

[inabluemoon]

Not as much as they used to, but numbers have been on the rise. That's why I'm around.

[strayknight]

So what do you do with them?

[inabluemoon]

I heal them, obviously.

Unless their condition is too far along, then my treatment will kill them. [Blunt.]

[strayknight]

Hm...sounds complicated in your world.

[inabluemoon]

That's an understatement.

[strayknight]

So you just wanna heal more vampires here?

[inabluemoon]

Well it's unlikely the disease I cure will spread here, so unfortunately I probably won't exactly get that chance.

[Isn't... That a good thing?]

So in the meantime I want to study the vampires of other worlds.

[strayknight]

I don't want any weird disease, so thanks.

[It's good this guy at least knows what he's doing

Hmmm, like me? [He asks with a teasing tone.]

[inabluemoon]

Well you're a vampire, so naturally. Are you volunteering?

[If he sounds vaguely surprised it's because... He is. Pretty much no vampires are eager to hang out with him for any reason.]

[strayknight]

[Ritsu doesn't quite know him well enough yet but he does seem like someone that might be fun to mess with.]

Sure, what do I get out it?

[inabluemoon]

What do you want? I suppose I can assist with Chroma generation if you're desperate. Or we could exchange things like information if that's what you're more interested in.

[There are other things he's good at, but he's not going to put all his cards on the table right off the bat.]

[strayknight]

You're quick to offer chroma, hm? Not sure what I want guess we can meet first.

[Ritsu was a little fickle and honestly...he was curious about this guy.]

[inabluemoon]

Shouldn't I be? It's how you survive around here and since I can't do my usual work I have to make ends meet.

[Really he doesn't care one way or the other and he does have a job. If Ritsu says no he's not going to be insulted or anything, he'll only have a problem if he tries to get too friendly or nosy.]

I'll even be charitable and let you pick when and where we meet. As proof that I won't try anything untoward.

[Even though it could be pointed out that he could still have something up his sleeve.]

[strayknight]

Suppose so, it's easier than working anyway, right?

[At least for Ritsu. He doesn't really mind this guy could be fun but meeting him would probably be advised.]

Fine, my place?

[Ritsu At least knows if one of his roommates come home they can help if he's in a hard spot.]

[inabluemoon]

That's fine with me.

[Vanitas has dealt with more than enough vampires that even if this guy has more abilities than he's letting on he's fairly confident that he'll be fine. It's not the most dangerous situation he's put himself in, after all.]

[strayknight]

Okay then, I'll send you the information.

[Ritsu was typing it out as the guy seems to have no issues with this...what a strange dude. Then again this whole place is weird.]
