To those who it may concern;

If any of you find yourself missing a comrade, I have staying with me a young man garbed in the clothing of a Night Whisperer ninja. I brought him to my lodging after he fell victim to an attack and have been caring for him to the best of my ability, with the help of Lady Svala, who has some healing skills. Unfortunately he has remained unconscious thus far, or I would offer his name. I'll keep him safe here until he is well and awake enough to leave.

I should note that his attacker mentioned a 'Slayer' before he fled. Whatever that means.

...Lord Sigmund, you requested that I check in on occasion, so here I am.

I see, so he was also affected...

He wanted to send his greetings, I think.

His greetings? What a gentleman. Leave it up to him to get all fuzzy-headed about the difference between a massacre and a friendly hello.

The person he attacked--will they be okay? Let me get out my assumption hat here and guess that he's been bitten, and lost a lot of blood?

Bloodloss seems to be the main problem with his health, as far as I can tell. When he finally awakens, I'll know more.

He is just unconscious, right? I don't imagine that Angelus would turn him--he's picky about that. But it wouldn't hurt to take some precautions, yourself in case your patient wakes up with a few more fangs than he had before.

Where did this happen? I might be able to track Angelus from the scene of the attack.

[private]

... 'Turn him'? Just what does that mean? His victim too could become such a monster?

[Insert a random location in the woods since mun is not sure where exactly it happened...] I would advise against tracking him, however.

[private]

[herotypical]

It's possible. But only if the victim's actually been killed--then, it's possible that they will come back as the really ugly undead.

And---don't worry, I've tracked Angelus before. I'm aware of how violent he can get. More aware than a lot of people here, to be honest--so I'd rather take him down myself than risk someone else.

I see. This man is very much alive, but I will watch him nonetheless. Thank you for the warning.

So you too are a warrior... there's many here who can fight, aren't there.

Warrior is one way of putting it--[she seems to hesitate, here. But considering the situation has gotten as serious as this, she'll break the secret identity habit.]

But, vampire slayer would be most accurate. I'm from Angelus' world.

[vermified]

Vampire slayer...? There are so many on your world that they require a slayer?

[private]

[herotypical]

Countless vamps and fate decided that there only needed to be one slayer in every generation. [Which wasn't strictly true anymore, but that would require too much gabbing on her part.]

Normally, a vampire has no soul. Angel was an exception--he's a vampire who was given a soul. Normally, he's one of the good guys. But thanks to the this experiment, he's become the vampire he used to be, pre-soul. Angelus--not the happiest of campers. The sooner I can find Angelus, the sooner I can stop him from hurting anyone else.

Once Angel's back to his less-evil-more-broody self, he'll be feeling a killer cocktail of regret and guilt over all of this.

I see... best of luck to you, then.

This place has done wonders to educate me on the supernatural. On my world vampires don't even exist, yet there seems to be many in Luceti from all sorts of worlds.

Thanks. I'm not going to deny that I'll probably need a smidgen of luck to get through this.

Take care--and if you see Angelus again, please give me a shout.

Do you need assistance?

[private]

[herotypical]

I have some.

But if I need more, rest assured--I'll ask for it.

[private]

[vermified]

Very well. Good luck to you.
