Just wanted to try him out.

Well, this is rather unexpected. To think I'd be granted entry without even having to ask. Sadly, you've nothing of interest to me. Your limited intellect aside - honestly, have you ever thought about reading a book? - your taste in music leaves much to be desired.

But I suppose as far as a temporary place of rest goes, this will do.

Someone who appreciates books is rare in these times.

You're telling me. This little worm seems to enjoy a video game or two. Wants to argue that they're viable forms of art. Honestly...

But you seem to be a man of reason. Maybe coming here wasn't such a bad idea after all. What do you fancy?

[sanguimancy]

Let the worm squirm in its meagre enjoyment, they do not have long to live.

I have lived for over a hundred years. Not much keeps my attention these days other than the pursuit of blood and literature. Perhaps you should join me.

[compacare]

Blood? You mean like a vampire? [Leaning in.] How curious. I don't have much of a horse in this race, but I'd never have thought I'd see the day...

If you're asking me to join you on your quest for half decent literature, I'd be more than happy. However, I'm quite happy simply living my life as I am. I'm not sure vampirism would work on me, even if I wanted it to.

I protested similar when I was brought here. Sadly, deaf ears seem to be a universal problem.

[compacare]

A shame. Really. I think I'd have quite liked it here, too. Was it always like this, I wonder.

[dioapologist]

I always assumed so. It's a little bland for my tastes.

[compacare]

And what are your tastes?
