  1. 00:32] Ambre says, "Haji and I were attacked by a very powerful fiend of the night."
  2. [00:33] Ambre says, "And I was only able to stall until help arrived because of my overexhertion."
  3. [00:33] Arista ven Pelleaux says, "Well, at least it wasn't frivolous then. You did what you had to."
  4. [00:34] Ambre asks, "And... I overheard that Ithiel was promoted to Keeper... am I correct?"
  5. [00:34] Arista ven Pelleaux asks, "Have you had a medic examine your mana circuitry to be safe?"
  6. [00:34] Arista ven Pelleaux says, "He was yes."
  7. [00:34] Ambre says, "Indeed — Ithiel was the one who came to my rescue."
  8. [00:34] Kali Agana asks, "Vampire, huh? What did they look like?"
  9. [00:34] Ambre says, "Amongst others who I didn't recognize..."
  10. [00:34] Ambre says, "Ithiel brought me to safety and tended my wounds."
  11. [00:34] Arista ven Pelleaux says, "Good, then he's done well."
  12. [00:34] Ambre says, "I just... thought I should tell you, in case he hasn't told you himself."
  13. [00:34] Ambre says, "I have no doubt that he very well may have saved my life."
  14. [00:35] Arista ven Pelleaux says, "He hasn't, but I'm sure he knows you appreciate him."
  15. [00:36] Haji La'Heba says, "One looked like a rat."
  16. [00:36] Haji La'Heba says, "It was a female with white hair."
  17. [00:36] Ambre says, "Yes — one of the assailants was a white-haired mouse beastkin, and the other was..."
  18. [00:36] Ambre says, "...a powerful illusionist."
  19. [00:36] Kali Agana says, "...Hmm."
  20. [00:37] Kali Agana says, "That would be the Docros then."
  21. [00:37] Ambre asks, "The... Docros?"
  22. [00:37] Haji La'Heba says, "They didn't want my blood."
  23. [00:38] Haji La'Heba asks, "They said it was toxic?"
  24. [00:38] Kali Agana asks, "Illythia and Niffty, i believe?"
  25. [00:38] Kali Agana asks, "...Toxic?"
  26. [00:38] Ambre says, "Illythia and Nifty..."
  27. [00:38] Ambre commits these names to memory.
  28. (Ambre)
  29. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  30.  
  31. [00:38] Haji La'Heba asks, "She said my blood is poison to them?"
  32. [00:40] Kali Agana asks, "Strange. Did they mention why?"
  33. [00:40] Haji La'Heba says, "Well, I a different type of blood."
  34. [00:40] Haji La'Heba says, "I'm not human."
  35. [00:40] Ambre says, "I was told it's because it's closer to Mana than to actual blood.. or, something along those lines."
  36. [00:40] Haji La'Heba says, "Yeah."
  37. [00:40] Haji La'Heba says, "Something like that."
  38. [00:40] Haji La'Heba says, "My blood is more of essence."
  39. [00:42] Kali taps at her chin for a bit as she hears this. "You're...A Sarradian, I believe? You don't have blood in the traditional sense, is what you're saying?"
  40.  
  41. Curious. She pulls out a quill and a piece of paper to write on. More knowledge for the vampire hunter. "You mustn't possess what's known as 'vitae' then. Looks like it must be tied in with the blood they drink."
  42. (Kali Agana)
  43. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  44.  
  45. [00:43] Zero rubs the bite marks on his neck.
  46. (Zero Grace)
  47. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  48.  
  49. [00:43] Zero Grace asks, "... you good, naked fella?"
  50. [00:45] "Meanwhile my blood was fine for them..." Ambre says, lifting her chin to expose the bandages beneath, soaked with her dark blue blood.
  51.  
  52. "So... it seems Teraphim blood is fine. Unless it has something to do with how I used to be human."
  53. (Ambre)
  54. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  55.  
  56. [00:46] Zero Grace whispers something.
  57. [00:46] Haji nods.
  58.  
  59. "I'm a Sarradian, yes. She said the lifeblood we possess isn't something they care for. I'm not sure how it affects them, but I'm sure someone will figure it out.
  60.  
  61. Right now, I can say that me fighting them will have hurt them more than it does me. So, they'll likely avoid combat with me if anything."
  62. (Haji La'Heba)
  63. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  64.  
  65. [00:49] "Not necessarily, don't get cocky. They'll still fight you, they just won't feed from you. Though now i'm curious as to the why rather than the how." She says while musing upon that thought.
  66.  
  67. Was there something within Sarradian blood or was there a lacking of something? Maybe she'd have to study this later. They were a child, she wasn't going to demand them to hand over their blood.
  68.  
  69. "Teraphim still possess blood, it's just uhh...Different coloured? Same with a lot of their internal organs, really." That medic badge of hers was definitely present on her chest right now.
  70. (Kali Agana)
  71. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  72.  
  73. [00:54] It's been pretty wild for Haji after that entire vampire situation, but he lived.
  74.  
  75. "I was curious about something; if my blood is poisonous to them, and my blood naturally contains healing properties... Well, does that mean my blood in a way can heal those bitten by vampires?
  76.  
  77. Could my blood in a sense counteract what vampires do to people and heal them of their inflictions?"
  78.  
  79. Haji threw the idea out there again someone had to know, right?
  80. (Haji La'Heba)
  81. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  82.  
  83. [00:57] "Likely not, since the reason behind why these bites seem to be incurable is due to the theft of 'vitae'. And if that is what you lack and why they find you unappetising...? Well, it likely wouldn't do much to help."
  84.  
  85. A spark of inspiration hits her. "However...It COULD potentially work to create a repellent of some kind! Perhaps you should discuss this with an alchemist, you could be on to something there."
  86. (Kali Agana)
  87. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  88.  
  89. [01:02] "I... that's not what she said... she refused to bit me because my blood is toxic and poisonous. It sounds like they'd get sick or die if they went through with drinking my blood.
  90.  
  91. That's like saying if I poisoned your drink and you didn't know with enough of the poison injected... you'd die."
  92.  
  93. Haji held his hand in the air.
  94.  
  95. "If you capture a vampire, I'll let it drink my blood, and we'll see what happens then."
  96. (Haji La'Heba)
  97. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  98.  
  99. [01:06] "Right, but they could smell it. Part of how a vampire hunts is through smell and sensing the pumping of blood through your veins. It would still potentially work as a repellent. However-" She raises a finger.
  100.  
  101. "Were we to figure out a way for this 'poison' in your blood to be extracted and be placed within non-sarradians...Well, we may have a means of killing them without actively fighting."
  102.  
  103. Her arms fold over on the table. "We're going to need to look more into what it is exactly that causes your blood to do this. Hel, potentially it could be used to lace weapons with poison to weaken them."
  104.  
  105. So many potential things they could do with this information, but they lacked the knowledge behind it. Research and study was needed. "If someone captures one? Sure. Preferably an actual vampire and not a thinblood, can barely even call those things vampires. They're more like bloodsucking zombies."
  106. (Kali Agana)
  107. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  108.  
  109. [01:10] Haji shrugs.
  110.  
  111. "It could work, but what do I know? I'm just a kid trying to achieve my goals. It just happens that harming vampires might be something I'm good at without really trying."
  112.  
  113. Haji shrugs again.
  114.  
  115. "We'll see, but it's all just thoughts for now, and the fact they didn't bite me when they had the chance means something."
  116. (Haji La'Heba)
  117. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  118.  
  119. [01:10] Kali Agana says, "Trust me, it's nice not having your neck mangled beyond repair."
  120. [01:12] Haji La'Heba says, "It sucks having to watch people you love get bit."
  121. [01:13] Kali Agana says, "...It just sucks in general."
  122. [01:13] Kali a laugh track plays in the distance.
  123. (Kali Agana)
  124. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  125.  
  126. [01:13] Ambre says, "."
  127. [01:14] Kali Agana says, "There is a lead i need to look into as well some day."
  128. [01:15] Haji La'Heba says, "Good luck."
  129. [01:15] * You have been awarded 3 Roleplay Points! *
  130. [01:15] Haji La'Heba asks, "What lead?"
  131. [01:15] Kali Agana says, "A lead into another potential weakness to deal with the vampire threat we're facing."
  132. [01:15] Kali Agana says, "Not exactly certain much on the details, but i may need to go through a few old crypts."
  133. [01:15] Haji La'Heba asks, "What are you some kind of vampire hunter?"
  134. [01:16] Kali Agana says, "Yeah, kind of."
  135. [01:16] Haji La'Heba says, "Oh>"
  136. [01:16] Haji La'Heba says, "Uh.."
  137. [01:16] Haji La'Heba asks, "You looking for an apprentice?"
  138. [01:16] Haji La'Heba says, "I think I know someone."
  139. [01:17] Haji La'Heba says, "Some little Sarradian."
  140. [01:17] Kali Agana says, "An Apprentice? I have been meaning to host lessons, especially with all of the new cadets running about."
  141. [01:17] Ambre asks, "...Vampire hunting lessons?"
  142. [01:18] Ambre asks, "Will you be teaching at the Academy, or is it more of an independant study thing?"
  143. [01:18] Haji La'Heba says, "I wanna just go straight to being a apprentice hunter."
  144. [01:18] Haji La'Heba says, "I'll do whatever you ask of me...well within reason."
  145. [01:18] Haji La'Heba says, "I won't be bait."
  146. [01:19] Kali Agana says, "More of a public thing. I'm not an academy proffesor."
  147. [01:19] Ambre asks, "Do you know when you'll be hosting these lessons?"
  148. [01:19] Kali Agana says, "And after the basic lessons i give? Sure, i could take on a couple apprentices."
  149. [01:19] Haji La'Heba exclaims, "Shouldn't you like have a group of vampire hunters----!!!!!"
  150. [01:20] Drokagir asks, "Vampire hunters?"
  151. [01:20] Haji does a Mario jump
  152. (Haji La'Heba)
