[ She crossed her legs, looking down at the floor, trying to put together what she can remember. ]

When I first arrived, I took shelter in underground caves. The land of the world was much like ancient Japan, and the natives there were not familiar with vampires.

[ She pauses, sensing some kind of gap with her memories. ]

For some reason, I can't remember certain things. Certain people. Maybe it's because they might have been Newcomers in that world, or maybe it's something else. I don't know. Either way, it's a big gap altogether, so I can only guess what happened at certain times.

[ Jessica looks up and wonder if she should withhold what happened next, but she immediately dismisses it. Eric will know that she's lying, and like he said, he's not interested in following the rules back home. Or so he claims.

It's make it or break it. ]

What I do remember is that I basically took over the criminal underworld. How, exactly, I don't remember. I can only guess I made connections to make it possible. Might have used V, though I remember there's been some weapons trade. Something like that. There was a monster invasion that destroyed everything, but everything build itself back up afterward.

I can't remember much what happened afterward, but I do know that I was captured. I can only guess that whatever security I had disappeared or was killed off, but I can't be certain for sure. I escaped and fled to another village.

[ She shrugs, palms up. ]

I wish I can tell more, but that's pretty much it.

[vampingitup]

They came after you, then. They won't here.

[His eyes flicker up.]

We need to protect the source.

[in_starvation]

You already dealing V?

[ She stares at him. It's one thing that Jessica had done it - she was alone, she was certain of it. But two vampires with valuable blood means more chances for others to find opportunity. ]

[vampingitup]

Yes. It doesn't have a name yet. I needed to know that I had your cooperation. But them, you wouldn't think of defying your Sheriff. Would you, Jessica?

[in_starvation]

I'll cooperate, Eric. But there's some kind of security for me, or at least some insurance. People who know my name will know I'm a vampire, and we already talked on the network - it wouldn't take long for people who realize that we are the only vampires from that particular world. Double so when they find the origin of the source.

[ She leans back. Jessica belatedly notes that she wouldn't have dared talked to Eric this way back home - but she hadn't taken over a criminal empire in Louisiana. ]

That's assuming that they find the origin.

[ And there's the unasked question: Who else knows of the blood? But she dares not ask; she feels as though she's stepping on an elder's toes, and it's not a pleasant feeling. ]

[vampingitup]

Which they will not.

[Sharp. Firm.]

There will be one distribution method and one alone. And Sam, who is the only one from our world that knows--owes me something of a favour.

Failing that, of course, we could simply rename it.

[in_starvation]

Not sure if Sam can do much of anything if he stays a slave.

[ Man, that stings. And learning from it from some nobody too. ]

Rename it to what? [ Seems weird to call V other than just V. ] Jujubees? [ KINDA JOKING ON THAT ONE but really she got nothin'. ]
