[ 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.

[You know, most of Kurt is screaming for him not to donate blood to a vampire's cause, but then, there's a tiny voice in the back of his head: mutants need to stick together. In his world, Rafa would be considered as such and besides, there's no harm in chatting about it first.]

will you take any type of blood?

you think humans will actually offer?

As long as you receive at least one donation there would be no risk of vampires going hungry, correct?

Count me in for cocktails. The kind you make are apparently the only ones that seem to have an affect on me.

And I'd offer my blood, but I don't think you'd want it, considering... [ twirls his wrist in a minute gesture. ]

[ Videos are easier than attempting to text for the time. While her daemon has been helpful, this technology is still beyond Diana's ken at the moment. Diana appears on camera, brow slightly furrowed. ]

Why do you - [ she cuts off abruptly, eyes darting away for a moment and then back to the screen. ] If you accept the blood of people who are not human, I will gladly offer mine.

Wow, hello beautiful.

[ says the demon with the wide, white smile. ]

A vampire loud and proud, huh? I love it. I'm an incubus myself, but I haven't been saying anything because I wanted to blend in. Your bravery is really inspiring!

I'd donate, but I've been told my blood is a little, well, vampires tend to like it a lot. But I wouldn't mind giving you a personal taste.

Very personal, if you know what I mean.

You know I'm always happy to donate, dude. Not human but- Does that make it taste different, maybe?

I'm also happy to provide musical entertainment if you need it. I miss that myself.

Place looks great, rafa

( he would offer but. yknow. not eager to test out if his blood is addictive to all vampires the hard way. )

[healingdork]

I'd offer mine but I don't know if it would do you any good.

I can at least offer to help to draw blood from people.

[He knows this isn't his world and the familiar rules don't apply, but the use of the term vampire makes him wary all the same.

But that word choice aside, Rafa speaks and presents himself more like one of Ion's fellow boyars than the sort of creatures that gave all civilized Methuselah such a bad name. And what he's saying only reinforces that impression.]

I'm glad to hear there's another option available to us. I admit I was a little concerned about what would happen once I ran out of blood tablets.
