The adolescent stage didn't suit me for too long. There are far too many teenagers trapped in this bloody hellhole. Admittedly, most of them are fairly mature for your apparent age and are able to behave like emancipated adults, this is an accomplishment.

I suppose the City isn't so bad. I can still manage to purchase my favorite brand of cigars.

My younger sister is currently at the adolescent stage, unfortunately she fits into the rebellious teenager section. It gets tiresome.

[hiscountess]

Duly noted. Is your sister present?

[neurotoxins]

No. Thankfully she's back at home. I doubt she'd mind this place too much though.

[hiscountess]

Why is that? The lack of proper education system?

[neurotoxins]

That and the lack of father and mother. She wouldn't have to wear her caps at all, I'm sure she'd enjoy the Underground.

[hiscountess]

The underground could be rough and dangerous, would she survive enough to enjoy it?

[neurotoxins]

I'm fairly certain she would be fine. She's young but strong and fast.

[hiscountess]

Faster than the creatures that prowl underground?

[neurotoxins]

I don't know. I haven't been down there myself. I know she's faster than a human and stronger than a human.

[hiscountess]

I see. The creatures that dwell there are dangerous for those with limitations.

[neurotoxins]

My kind have very few limitations.

[hiscountess]

Your kind?

[neurotoxins]

My sister and I are both Living vampires.

Duly noted. That's becoming too common in this place. I would have believed that a "living vampire" was an oxymoron.

[neurotoxins]

What is becoming too common? No, it isn't. We're infected with the vampire virus, but we're still alive. Can still walk in the sun, worship, and we still have a soul.
