If I were to... acquire a coffin, would anyone be willing to help me carry it back to house nine?

[ While he has been using the bed since he arrived, it's time to get something more comfortable. Of course, since manual labor is out of question, "help" actually means "do it for him".  ]

I'm not fond of the idea of letting locals in.

Should I even bother asking?

[dead_ladykiller]

I don't know. Should you?

[aeoneurotic]

[ A brief sigh. ]

Would you answer?

[dead_ladykiller]

Why wouldn't I?

[aeoneurotic]

...why do you want a coffin?

[dead_ladykiller]

Because I'm a vampire.

[aeoneurotic]

Are you joking?

[dead_ladykiller]

Does it sound like I'm joking?

[aeoneurotic]

It's not impossible to make it sound like you're not, even if you are.

[dead_ladykiller]

Well, I'm not. Does the name Dracula sound familiar?

[aeoneurotic]

Yes...

[dead_ladykiller]

I am Dracula.

[aeoneurotic]

Ah...I see.

[ Mostly he thinks the guy is a bit...uh. Not all there. ]

[dead_ladykiller]

If you are not going to believe the answers, don't ask the questions.

[ Not that he cares. Dracula would have been far more insulted if he hadn't known who he was. ]

[aeoneurotic]

I was hoping it wouldn't be something so obviously made up.

[dead_ladykiller]

What reason could I possibly have to make this up?
