So, hi. I'm having a bit of a dilemma.

I had the lovely fortune of dying and rising as a vampire. Before you're taken aback by the prospect, no, I don't take blood from unwilling donors. (Damned if I wouldn't enjoy the thrill of the hunt if I could, though...) However, I'm not terribly fond of taking from a vial, either, except in emergencies. Even warmed up, it's just not as good. (Fellow vampires: is this a normal sentiment?)

Am I too picky? I don't know. My issue is that I'm currently down to one willing Witch donor, and I've been subsisting off vials for the times when she's not available. Suffice it to say, it's driving me crazy. Is there anyone out there who'd be willing to strike up a trade of some sort? I get a nip at your neck, and you get... well, one of a few options?

It doesn't appear to hurt if the intent is not to harm, so you needn't worry about it being unpleasant. And if you're really on the fence, hells, I'll go the extra malm and romance you in the process if it damn well helps! I also do various crafts, so if you need something made or customized, I can do that in exchange.

Look, I know how stupid this all sounds, but I don't want to overtax my Bond partner any further, and I thought maybe the outreach would help. As intimidating as it seems, I promise it's not a huge ordeal. Please? Hash something out with me?

And while I'm here, an additional question: is it realistic to think non-vampires might frequent the vampire bar in town to get their rocks off on an odd fetish? Just... curious.

[Vampires...except this one drinks blood that doesn't belong to Akuma.

Then--]

I don't mind volunteering to be your donor.

[omnicrafter]

What

Really??

I wasn't expecting such a quick agreement... Would you like a service in return for it? It is kind of a lot to ask...

[lostinshadows]

Information--anything you know of this world.

Or a new scarf. You can pick either one.

[omnicrafter]

I can do you both, if that suits you. Was there something specific you wanted information on, or just... in general? I've been here for several moons now, so I think I've got a handle on everything. Everything that's happened from the Dorchacht incident onward, that is.

And what kind of fabric for the scarf? Or would you prefer knitted?

[lostinshadows]

The....Dorchacht incident?

Knitted is preferred. As long as it's soft.

[omnicrafter]

The reason we have all the refugees from Dorchacht that are here now. Their Monsters city were kept under enchantment and binding spells by the Witches to control them, and the Mirrorbound did not take that too kindly.

Aye, understood. I'll gather the softest I can find and start working on it.

May I have your name? And though I've no intention of looking a gift horse in the mouth, why agree so readily, if I may ask?

[lostinshadows]

Sounds like a lot more to it. And probably not over this device.

My name is Lavi. I don't see why I shouldn't help you out, especially since you are offering me something in return for it.

[omnicrafter]

I'm Irhya. I thank you for your time.

If you want, I wouldn't mind meeting in person to show you yarn options and perhaps go over what I do know of this place and its ins and outs. There are perhaps one or two questions I would ask you personally, as well.

[lostinshadows]

You don't need to thank me.

I wouldn't mind meeting in person. Just give me a time and day, and we can call it a date.

[omnicrafter]

Then we shall do that. I should be available tomorrow evening if that isn't too soon for you? I have to avoid the sunlight, sadly.

[lostinshadows]

Not at all. Where would you like to meet?
