[Some people might recognise the voice, some might even remember her making enquires about monsters and recommendations for good books in the library. Or not, it'd been slow progress for the fae. Because she'd found that...books were so, so dry. They made her want to sleep. So she'd been surprised to find a book that she could get through. It's information though-]

Is it true that really powerful vampires have diamond-like skin that reflects sunlight back instead of being burnt by it?

[cardtrick]

You know, I think I heard that one too...

[stopfen]

You have? Did you read it when I left the book on the table?

[Not that she had an issue with that.]

voice; un: zi-o

[timenace]

Uhhh... I've never really seen anything like that before...

[ But his encounters with vampires weren't exactly vampires, so... ]

[stopfen]

I haven't seen any vampires like that. But all the vampires in this book are more than a hundrad years old.

[ he has no idea what sort of books she's been reading, this just seems like a fun opportunity to mess with someone.. ]

Oh, yes of course.

It's very dazzling to one's enemies.

[stopfen]

[Whomst the fuck is this? If it weren't for Papurys responding as well, she'd have thought it was him. But no, there are two skeletons now?]

That sounds like some of the bugs. Their asses flash and then they try to fly away...The book didn't say anything about it being defensive though.

[rightfoot]

...Who told you that?

[stopfen]

I was looking up different monsters in the library and found a book on turnskins and vampires. [The sound of movement.]

...Dusk, a guide to night.

un: elliot

[fiddlestick]

I can't say I've heard that one before...

[stopfen]

What did you hear? The book talks about turnskins too.

[spaghettimonster]

Wow, that sounds like a super-vampire...

I haven't heard of any, but. Maybe. There's some rock monster who's become a vampire?

[stopfen]

It did say it was older vampires.

Are there rock monsters? I've not seen any. Though it does say humans can be...[Pages flipping.] Sired into vampires.

[needsteaplz]

[She getting flashbacks to when used to translate books for a living. Thanks, Mikasa. ]

The ones here? No. Back home for me, that was someone's "artistic liberties" on vampire lore for their story. It may possibly be true for another world beyond anyone's here so far but....honestly I don't want to think about it.

[stopfen]

Why? Isn't it important to think about these things? I keep being told to try and find more information...

[About fae, to help her in her own transformations. But she'd just found the book, and thought it'd have something given her own fondness for nighttime.]

[quintessent]

Not that I've noticed.

[Hmmmmmm....]

Perhaps it only occurs once they've been a vampire for so long.

[stopfen]

[The hum is returned.]

It did say these vampires had been isolated from humans for a hundred years at least.

[guesser]

yes honeybee
those are what we call the all american vampires, cursed atrocities of their kind banished to the west and fated to live the rest of their immortal days with woofboys and terrifying animatronic babies.

[stopfen]

[Voice, cause so many people. She's not spending the time looking each letter up.]

So it's a...Breed of vampire? ...

...What's a woofboy?

voice; un: hakunon

[sealeted]

Well, if vampires are anything like the Fae here, traits like that might vary from vampire to vampire.

[stopfen]

It could be...There things are annoying like that. Though it mentions something about humans being turned into vampires too.

voice! un: kirstein

[trost]

Where did you hear that? I know one of the vampires here, and there was nothing different about his skin.

[stopfen]

It's in a book I'm reading about turnskins and vampires. [Reading, a rairty for her to do something not physical.] I know a few but none of them mentioned anything like it.

voice, un: filament

[omnicrafter]

Why would a vampire have diamond skin? I suppose it'd be useful for the sunlight aspect, but it'd give away our every movement at night. Sounds like more of a hindrance than a help to me.

[stopfen]

I'm not sure, that's why I was asking. It seems like it's just to show off... They're that strong that they don't need to hide.

text;

[judgementor]

I do hope not.

[stopfen]

Why's that? From what I've heard it's a sign of strength, that they don't need to hide away.
