[If you're outside tonight, enjoying the... Camp atmosphere... you may notice a bit of a distraction going on near one of the abandoned barns. The distraction turns out to be a line of zombies carrying multiple suitcases, bird cages, boxes of old magazines and a chaise lounge inside said barn while a young woman in a white suit supervises

[This would be much less strange if Natsumi could actually see right now, but since she's blind for the moment ...]

I don't really know who you mean, but the answer for most things around here is "not a lot".

[painintheneck]

[raising an eyebrow]

The zombies.

[ridestherider]

[Now that she's pinpointed exactly where that voice is coming from, she turn her head a little in that direction so that she doesn't seem rude. This business takes getting used to.] Ah.

Then, yes; mostly they're good for nothing except maybe being a pain in the ass.

[painintheneck]

[taking a step closer and laughing]

That's a good answer.

[ridestherider]

The truth usually is.

You must be new.

[painintheneck]

I just arrived about a week ago.

[ridestherider]

Come to think of it, it is about that time, isn't it?

Welcome to Camp. Sorry in advance for all the trouble it causes.

[painintheneck]

Thank you for the welcome. What's your name?

[ridestherider]

Natsumi. Nice to meet you.

[painintheneck]

[offering a hand, partly to see if she's really blind]

Sophie-Anne Leclerq, Queen of Louisiana.

[ridestherider]

[There's no response for the hand. Yes, definitely blind. She does wrinkle her nose a bit in mild confusion.]

But I thought America ... is there some kind of state monarchy, in your world?

[painintheneck]

[thought so. retracting the hand.]

For vampires.

[ridestherider]

... oh. You're a vampire.

I guess it goes higher than Sheriffs after all.

[painintheneck]

[quickly, and it's obvious by her tone of voice that she's shocked]

What did you say?

[ridestherider]

[That throws her off a little, but she doesn't hesitate to explain.]

I-I was sort of acquainted with a couple of others, when they were here before. One introduced himself as a Sheriff, and I'd wondered if it went any higher than that, but I didn't think it would be polite to ask too many questions.

[painintheneck]

[a sort of forced pleasantness, now]

Is that so? Did he give you any more information?
