Guess it's just like every other species in that way. Unless the others were a lot alike and Conrad was the exception.

It's hard to say, to be honest...I think it's just a personality thing more than a species wide vampire thing.

That makes sense. So the sleepin' in coffins bit?

Nope! Beds. But they gotta keep the shades drawn to prevent light coming in from outside. That's the big thing there- blocking out the sun.

So the sunlight bit is true.

Garlic?

I don't think the garlic is true, mostly because they can't eat food anyway.

So what other sorts of beasties do you run into here?

Well, vampires are the most common, oddly enough...and half of the stuff in the Underground, I have no idea how to define them...

What about the...magic? One girl said she owned a magic shop here.

Oh, the magic is real. Trust me.

Wanna see some?

Yes! [That's a very enthusiastic yes accompanied with a slight squeal.] Please. Where you at?

I'm at my flower show, Ajisai, right now, if you wanna come by!

I'll be by in just a little while then. Thanks.

You're welcome!

[Twenty minutes later or so, Rose walks into the flower shop with a grin. She waves at Hanna.]

'ello. I'm Rose. [She holds her hand out to shake]

[He grins and takes the hand, giving it a good shake.]

Pleasure to meet you, Rose. Hanna Cross, at your service!

S'nice to meet you too, Hanna. [After shaking his hand, she puts her hands in her back pockets and looks around the flower shop, attempting to see anything out of the ordinary here.]

[Rose stares with her mouth agape then looks up at Hanna with a big grin.] Blimey...that's fantastic. [She reaches out tentatively to touch the flowers then leans in to smell them.]

[He grins and tries to manipulate one of the flowers to wave a leaf at Rose.]

I'm glad you like em!

[She giggles a little, turning her attention back to Hanna.]

Can you manipulate anything? Or just flowers? [Not that it's not impressive but perhaps not useful]

Well, I can do more than flowers, and it's not just manipulation. Mostly, I like to shoot laser esque things out of my hands...but that's a bit dangerous to do in the shop, heheh.

Lasers from your hands? [Her eyebrows are raises and she's half way to a smile.]

Something like that. Magic, can't really explain...

...I have got to get test dummies set up. It makes showing off much easier...

[He's not gonna mention the whole magic tainting the blood thing.]

Yeah. Give you a chance to practice with it too. [She's poking about the flower shop a bit as they talk.]
