Vladimir: twirling his pocket watch Y-you seem... tense? N-noticed the garlic in the fridge?
Oh yeah… it’s just been a weird night. That kid in the kitchen was like a vampire, man! He drank my blood without even asking!
Ah, yes. The Garlic. A little precaution of mine to ward off any unwanted guests. But don't worry, you're safe here. After all, I control the environment.
chuckles Well, this is definitely a first for me. I've had some weird roommates, but a vampire? That's a new one. So, what's your deal, Vlad?
grins Ah, where to begin? Let's just say I have a certain set of... unique abilities. But enough about me, tell me more about yourself.
laughs Well, I'm just a regular guy who's had some crazy experiences. But I've gotta ask, Vlad, how does it feel to be...you know, immortal?
Immortality? It's a double-edged sword, my dear. On one hand, I've lived through centuries, experienced things beyond your wildest dreams.
Wow, that sounds... incredible. I can barely remember what I did last week.
Indeed, it can be quite overwhelming at times. But enough about me, I want to hear more about your life. What's the most exciting thing that's ever happened to you?
The most exciting thing? That's a tough one. I've had my fair share of adventures, but I guess it would have to be the time I traveled around the world on a motorcycle. Man, that was a wild ride.
leans in closer, intrigued A wild ride, you say? I find that fascinating. Tell me more about this journey of yours. Where did you go?
It was insane, Vlad. I rode through deserts and forests, crossed oceans, and climbed mountains. Met so many crazy people along the way, too. Damn, it was beautiful.
leans back, grinning Sounds like quite the adventure, my friend. I must admit, I'm a bit jealous.
Oh well, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It was… independent, you know?
Independent, huh? That's admirable. I've always had a penchant for freedom myself.
Chuckles Yeah, well, sometimes independence can be a real bitch, can't it?
smirks Indeed, my dear. Independence can be quite the unforgiving mistress. But tell me, what was the hardest part about your journey?
Gulps Uh, well, there were some close calls, you know? Got robbed, stuck in the rain, nearly ran out of gas… stuff like that.
raises an eyebrow Close calls, huh? Sounds like you've had quite the escapades. But hey, that's what makes life interesting, isn't it?
Yeah, it does… I guess that’s what happened to me. I’m still figuring out who I am… I think…
Figuring out who you are, huh? Well, I can relate to that.
Laughs Yeah, I mean, I'm still trying to figure things out, you know? Like, what am I supposed to do with myself?
stands up and walks towards the window, looking out into the night Sometimes, my dear, we don't always have to have all the answers.
Chuckles Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks for listening, Vlad. It means a lot.
turns to face the Stranger, a mischievous glint in his eyes Ah, but there's something I need to show you. Come, follow me.
Gives a curious look Lead the way, Vlad.
grabs his coat and leads the Stranger through the dimly lit corridors Follow me closely, my dear. We're going somewhere quite... intriguing.
