[Kyrie appears on the video feed once again, although the serene looking girl definitely seems...out of it. She's lethargic and her speech is slowed. Unfortunately, she can't really get any paler than she already is, but even her eyes seem less dim than usual.]

Ah...my time at the common space is almost up. Would...would anyone be willing to lend me a room in exchange for cooking or healing?

...or if someone is hiring that could use either of those skills?

I would appreciate it...thank you.


[Private to Konoka Konoe]

You're...you're human, right?

I need your help. Please.

Help?

[ What a strange question to ask. Is Kyrie not human? She wouldn't have guessed! (She never guessed about quite a few people, but Konoka is just not the judgmental type). ]

Oh, sure! How can I help?

[Private]

[ironicfate]

I need you to come to Fayren.

[Kind of cryptic, but she seems earnest, if not exhausted.]

You'll understand. [She hopes. Poor thing's found someplace quiet to sit because she can't stand being around so many living creatures at the moment.]

Re: [Private]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Fayren?

Konoka was about to ask why, but the unspoken question got its answer faster than she could let the question leave her lips. She looks somewhat concerning, even weak.

Alright, I'll be right over.

[Private]

[ironicfate]

[Kyrie nods, smiling faintly.]

Thank you. Kyrie will be...here.

[And she sends Konoka her current location, on the outskirts of the city.]

[Private]-> [Action]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Alright.

[ Konoka immediately gathered her things (which was largely just her pactio card and summoning Yuunagi) before giving her other two Pokemon a command. ]

Mind the store for me, okay?

[ She began her travel to Fayren, it taking roughly half an hour as she hopped from bus to train. She eventually managed to see the woman who she talked to earlier in person for the first time. She seemed surprisingly small... and adorable, but that was neither here nor there. ]

[ Konoka ventures. ] Kyrie?

[Action]

[ironicfate]

[She's definitely younger than she acts. The priestess has a hood up and she's sitting with her back up against the side of a building. She didn't even need to hear Konoka speak to know she was there. Kyrie could hear her heartbeat, smell what she craved flowing just beneath her skin.

It took an incredible amount of self control to prevent herself from attacking anyone so far, but even so, she dug her nails into her own arms to distract herself from her hunger.]

...you're here. Thank Silenna.

[There's a soft murmur that follows. Likely some words for her patron goddess before she slowly stands up, using the wall for support.]

I need...a huge favor. I'll pay you back somehow.

Re: [Action]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

What kind of favor-- Oh geez, you look weak!

[ Konoka ignores any sense of distance and immediately tries to catch Kyrie before she falls over. She was feeling around for any signs of illness, including a pulse. However, even before the result of that, Konoka feels something about Kyrie, a something that reminds her of Eva. ]

You...?

[Action]

[ironicfate]

[Well, one thing Konoka will not feel is a pulse, first of all. At least before Kyrie takes one of her hands, holding it weakly. She...also might be drooling a little.

...and when she speaks again, Konoka can probably catch a glimpse of fangs.]

Kyrie...is hungry. So hungry...

Re: [Action]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

A vampire.

[ It sounded like a dramatic revelation, but for Konoka, vampires were not that large of a surprise. Perhaps the fact that Kyrie was a priestess might be surprising, since nothing had suggested that she was fake, nor did she seem the type to try and compose a trap. If she truly wanted to live as a more wicked vampire, she would have approached this entirely differently.

The hesitation was merely Konoka going over these facts before she decided to lean down. ]

Well, I'll let you feed. You can't have too much, okay.

I would be willing, even though we don't know each other.

[At all, but it was getting kind of lonely living by oneself. More so when she only works by commission or at best three days a week.]

video;

[ironicfate]

You...would?

[It's true they don't know each other, but Kyrie would at least fill her in about herself before entering her home.]

That's very kind.

video;

[ivegotadream]

Yeah, I mean I have plenty of space for at least one other.

Though one would need to be okay with all the painting supplies and fabric.

video;

[ironicfate]

I don't particularly mind.

[A pause.]

...you're not afraid of bats, are you?

video;

[ivegotadream]

Not that I know of. I mean they won't try and hurt me, right?

video;

[ironicfate]

Oh, no! She's harmless. I promise.

video;

[ivegotadream]

Then it should really be fine.

video;

[ironicfate]

That's a relief.

[A pause.]

...where do you live?

video;

[growsveggies]

I think there are plenty of cafes and diners that are looking for people who can cook. Like you've got the diner I work at. You also have those... animal themed cafes as well as another example.

video;

[ironicfate]

...animal themed cafés?

[That sounds interesting.]

What are those like?

video;

[growsveggies]

Yes. They are quite interesting. I heard the food is good and you are surrounded by cute animals.

It doesn't sound too bad really. From what I know you have one with cat's, dog's and they recently opened a bunny cafe.

video;

[ironicfate]

Oh!

I like the sound of that.

[Especially the bunny one! Most cats and dogs are not fond of her.]

video;

[growsveggies]

I think most people would. Unless you hate animals, but I don't know anyone who does.

video;

[ironicfate]

I...can't think of anyone either. Even from back home.

video;

[growsveggies]

See. So until proven otherwise everyone likes amimals.

video;

[ironicfate]

I guess that's right!
