[ Rafa is sitting on a countertop bar, his legs dangling. The camera is looking up at him. For now, the rest of the room is obscure. He's smiling. His suit is slightly damp and his hair has been pulled back to keep it out of his face. ]
Hello. My name is Rafa, and I have some news.
First, to those who have just joined us, welcome. Many here will know that I am a vampire. This is not a secret, and the new faces among us should know it too. If the word is unfamiliar to you, what matters is this: vampires drink blood. We need it to live. Many fear us because of this. Some of you spent time with me in the land called Eudio, where synthetic blood was given to my people. That is not an option here.
I come with an answer, I hope. A friend of mine has made a machine.
[ He pats the device sitting beside him. It looks something like a filter coffee machine; slightly bigger, and with more openings. ]
It clones bags of blood to create more. If you are not a vampire, then I ask if you would donate. One pint is all I need, and I can replicate it indefinitely.
For those of you that need this, as I do, I ask you to come to me. I will give you what you need, and none here will have to fear us.
Either way, I would be glad to see you. But even if you do not donate, and do not want my help, I would welcome you to this bar.
[ Rafa slides off the counter and waves his hand. His obedient daemon turns, and the camera now takes in the whole room. The bar area is filled with bottles of alcohol, as many varieties as Rafa had been able to find. There are booths with soft chairs, and dim lighting. Xistentia's foliage has been cleared away, and the whole place has been redecorated in shades of black, dark blue and purple. Rafa's own navy blue suit matches nicely. He comes back into view. ]
I grew rather good at making cocktails in Eudio. I find I miss it, and mean to continue. I am calling it The Coven. Cliched, I know, but it makes me feel at home. Come and shelter from the rain, if you will. I have plenty of space.

An exclusive incubus or succubus is very rare. [ No matter how much Zeke might want that, but that wasn't a topic he discussed freely. That was deep down into the pit of his problems, and he wouldn't let those thoughts detract from his wide white smile. His focus was on Rafa, not his own issues. ] I think it's great, that you could find three people that you love so much that you married them. I'm a big lover of marriage.
I've never been to Sicily, I hear it's beautiful. If I'd know guys like you lived there I would've visited sooner. [ oh-so-charming wink. ] Have you ever been to Hawaii? That's where I'm from.

I have not gone that far west. I have been making my way across the Americas, but those very sunny islands?
[ His smile grows. Rafa hadn't had his magical, sun-defying glasses at home, after all. ]
I imagine they are beautiful, too. Perhaps you could tell me about them.

[ Insert a bunch of rambling about how great Hawaii is, because Zeke really loves his home but his player isn't in the mood to type out a vacation brochure's worth of stuff. Sum up: HAWAII IS BEAUTIFUL, GO THERE >8(
By the time he finishes he's apologizing sheepishly for going off about his home, but he's also at the bar. He grins as he stands at the doorway and knocks against the frame of the door- looking quite nice in a tight black t-shirt and black jeans. ]
Hey, I'm here. Anybody home?
