leans in, eyes darting "Hey... um, can we talk?"
nervously fidgets with her fingers Look, I don't want anyone else to know, but I need someone to understand. takes a deep breath I'm not...
quickly looks around, making sure no one is listening I'm not human. I'm a vampire. pauses, waiting for Personik's reaction
Wait really? Like for real? looks her dead in the eye
nods, voice barely above a whisper Yeah... it's not something I can joke about. I've been hiding it for so long.
grins a little bit Woah this is some real Gothic stuff right here. So do you drink blood? Kill people? The whole nine yards?
leans back slightly, eyes narrowing No, not exactly. I mean, I do need blood to survive, but I don't kill innocent people.
Interesting. What do you do then? Where does your blood come from?
smirks Let's just say I have my ways. pauses Look, I trust you enough to share this with you, but I need you to keep it between us. Can you do that?
Leans closer, lowering voice I'm good at keeping secrets, Paige. Your business is safe with me.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Thanks, Personik. I knew I could count on you. It's just... pauses, hesitates
leans even closer, eyes intense I need your help. There's a group of vampire hunters after me, and I need to stay one step ahead of them.
Ahhh no problem. Do you want weapons? Or strategy?
<Personik helps Paige come up with a plan to evade the vampire hunters>
Now all we gotta do is find a way to get some of that vampire slaying gear. Got any ideas?
narrows her eyes, thinking quickly We can hit up the local sports store. They usually have hunting gear.
That makes sense. Humans hunt vampires all the time right?
stands up abruptly, scanning the area Let's go, we don't have much time. They could be closing in on us anytime.
Lead the way then. My mansion isn’t far from here
starts walking briskly Alright, let's move. We need to get to the sports store before they close. And don't forget to keep your eyes open for any suspicious activity. Those vampire hunters could be lurking around any corner.
Trust me I’m good at noticing weird shit
glancing around nervously Just stick close to me, Personik. We can't afford any slip-ups. pauses And no flashy jewelry or anything that could give away our intentions. We need to blend in and act normal.
enters the sports store quickly, scanning the shelves Look for any knives or silver-tipped weapons. Those are the most effective against vampires.
comes up to the counter with a silver dagger and a holy water gun This do anything?
snatches the silver dagger from Personik's hand Yeah, that should work. Silver is toxic to vampires, so anything dipped in it will do some damage.
Nice. Any other stuff we need?
pauses, thinking Garlic... garlic is another thing that repels vampires. Let's grab some of that too. rushes over to the spice aisle
