A gaunt... man shambles into the Nexus. He's wearing what could best be described as Victorian evening dress, albeit dusty with a few clinging particles of earth in the seams. His body is thin and gaunt, his features exaggerated from what looks at first glance like malnutrition. Upon closer inspection, he seems healthy, or at least in no danger of

Ali studies the... man carefully before answering (she'd be tempted to say he's a Nos if he weren't so healthy-looking). "Figure out where things went wrong and try again."

[horror_symphony]

He isn't just a Nos, he's the Nosferatu; Ali's standing face to face with Graf Orlok, the second oldest surviving vampire in his world.

"I am, though I have moved thence and now reside in Bremen. You have heard of me?"

[vicioussweetie]

"You have a certain reputation, where I come from," she admits with a hint of a smile. "As is only fitting. What is it you've been working on these many years, if I might ask?"
