[immediately starts off with a low groan. her voice, when it comes in, sounds decidedly more irish. and very, very annoyed. it's a little more high-pitched, and indignant.]

-on't want to marry King Nebuchadnezzar, Gran! He's old and stupid and smells bad because he's human. I'm only fifteen, and I've got the rest of forever before me. I can't run

Babylon?

The young bride to marry King Nebuchadnezzar, no less. You must be a very special girl, indeed. Are you lost?

[symmachy]

Yes, Babylon. What, you've never been there? I thought everyone had.

It was an arranged marriage, and I don't want to do it. I'm not going to marry a human! ... But yes, I am lost. Sort of. I could find my way out, you know. With a little time.

[devilmythos]

Why, yes I have. Sort of. Nevertheless! I know of it well enough. Ah fantastic in it's time.

Oh I see! Yes you do sound like a very spirited young lady, I can see why something arranged might upset you. And a human, no less! Mind if I ask what you are, dear?

I am sure you could. Is there anywhere you are looking to go, perhaps I can help?

[symmachy]

It's fantastic right now.

I'm part of the Next Generation. I guess the humans call me a vampire. I don't like that word, though. It makes me sound like the blood-drinkers.

I want to go back to Babylon so I can tell Gran I'm not marrying King Nezzy.

[devilmythos]

Oh, is that so? Extraordinary! I don't think I've heard of this "Next Generation" but that is quite something. Pleased to meet you, young miss. I'm called Sparda. May I have you name?

I can understand that. How did you arrive here?

[symmachy]

My name is Scathach, but you can call me Scatty.

I've no idea. One moment I was telling Gran what was what, and the next I was here. I think she sent me here as one of her punishments.

[devilmythos]

Án unusual but beautiful name!

Now that is stange. This city conencts worlds, but if you simply found yourself here... Must be very confusing. Punish you?

[symmachy]

Gran told me that my father named me.

It is very baffling, yes. I suppose she didn't like it when I told her I didn't want to marry King Nezzy. She has a bit of a temper. But the Witch of Endor is entitled to that, I suppose.

[devilmythos]

The Witch of Endor... is your grandmother? Oh my, you ARE a special young lady, Miss Scatty! And ever so charming, I can see the king would be disappointed if you didn't return. However, a fine young lady shouldn't be forced. I do wish you the best of luck in convincing your grandmother when you find your way back!

In the meantime, if you need any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

[symmachy]

You're very good at flattery. I like it.

I do require one thing, Sparda.

[devilmythos]

Why thank you, I do try when there's good worthy reason and recipient for it.

And what is that, Miss Scatty?

[symmachy]

Gran would like you.

I'm hungry. I need to feed.

[devilmythos]

Hungry, what does a lovely young vamprie like yourself eat, Miss Scatty?

[symmachy]

Emotions. I can't feel anything, you see. I need other people's.

Can I have some of yours?

[devilmythos]

Emotions? I see. Hmm, that could be a problem. Not sure I am the rigth candidate for that... but tell me, how would it affect me?

[symmachy]

You don't have to be feeling anything in particular-I can get to them on my own.

You would be tired, mostly. If you were in pain, you wouldn't feel it anymore.
