Lord Dragomir's Castle
@TheNoCoKid
So... This man had never heard of Japan? That was... Strange... Perhaps he was from a country that didn't know much about geography or countries outside of his own? However, once the mention of the continent of Vecta came up, Minami threw that line of thinking out the window. While she hadn't been a grade A student back in school by any means, she was fairly certain that she'd never heard of any landmass or country with that name. Ever. Which meant... She'd wasn't in Japan, or on Earth, anymore? That was... Disturbing and distressing in its own right, but at least she knew now.
When the lord of the castle explaiend the whole 'status open'-thing, Minami was lost in thought and only absentmindedly did as instructed. But when the glaring golden screen appeared out of nowhere like a holographic screen from some B-rate sci-fi movie, she almost jumped. Luckily, she didn't. The woman stared at the thing that floated infront of her, hesistant at first, but then opting to try and poke it with a dainty, slender finger.
Poke.
Oh! Something happened!
Wait.... This thing was just a smartphone! Sure, it looked fancy and sparkly and stuff, but it had a bunch of tabs and a map and ... Yeah, this was just a fancy-pants phone, but without the ability to call anyone! At this revelation, the black haired woman was far less impressed. Sure, it was strange that she could summon this screen from nowhere just by saying a phrase, but it wasn't that impressive. Far less so than this dude who could apparently appear out of shadows and whatever.
She flipped through the various tabs on her smart-status, looking at the skills tab, the map tab and the tab with her personal information. The fact that her name-filed was blank was a bit weird, but weirder still was that her race was listed as 'Vampire Fledgeling'.
Wait... Vampire?
As in those vampires? The ones that sucked blood from young women, transformed into bats and slept in coffins? Those vampires!? Was she going to have to go around sucking peoples necks now and start sleeping underground in a casket and say stuff like: "I VANT TU SUKK YUR BLUD, BLEH!"...? That... That wasn't going to be the case, right? She didn't really have to start doing any of that stuff, right? RIGHT!?
As she stood there, trying to wrap her head around the fact that, y'know, she was no longer even human, let alone still on her own planet! The mysterious lord suddenly opened a mysteriously concealed trap door... And... Suggested she go down... Into his crypt... To... Sleep...
Wut.
Was this guy serious? They'd met like, what? 5 minutes ago? Sure, he'd been nice enough to let her into his really lavish home, but ... Did he really expect a young woman, no matter how frumpy or non-descript she may be, to just willingly go into some random man's basement? Sure, her ta-ta's may have grown larger for some reason, by c'mon! Was he so desperate that he'd just settle for any girl that stepped over his threshold? Minami might not be the smartest or sharpest, but even she knew that when a strange, unfamiliar guy invited you to his basement after just meeting you, somehting was definetely sus. And this guy was already pretty shady before this.
"Uh... No... No, thank you, Mr. Dragomir." Minami apologetically bowed in a cordial manner, trying her best to hide her appregensive expression. "I'm not... Feeling particularly tired, and I've got a lot to think about. I don't think I could sleep right now even if I tried." She really didn't wanna go down there. No sir. Rising up again, she looked at the old maid, then back at the lord.
"You shelter... Vampires... So, does that mean that Ms. Rowena is one too?" Looking at the older woman, she didn't exactly get the feeling that the servant was really vampire-ish in appearance. Though, the lord being one made total sense! After all, nobody looked that dark and handsome without some kind of cheat. "Also... Willl... Do I have to... Uhm... Drink blood now, to stay... Alive...?" She felt really awkward asking this question, hrabbing her own left forearm and rubbing it lightly, while averting her eyes.
What would she do if she had to that? What if she'd become some kind of giant, living leech in human shape? Could she? Would she be able to just walk up to strangers in the night and start snacking on them? She'd never even held hands with anyone except her parents when she was young, let alone kiss or do anything naughty! So how whas she going to be able to go from 0 to 100 just like that!?
... Maybe... Maybe she didn't need to. Perhaps there was a loophole? Like... Drinking the blood of animals or... Or... Wait, that wasn't any better! In fact, that was probably worse! Who'd wanna go and bite a live horse or pig!? Who did that!? Freaks, that's who! You don't just go around nibbling on other living things, that was just wrong.
"I, well, can I... We... Can vampires not survive by just eating... Food...? like, humans do?" Of course, Minami had no idea that humans in this world weren't called humans, so that question was probably not going to get across too well. Still though... What the heck was she supposed to do now? This was all very stressful.
