We have something kinda like that! Where I'm from, we have Pokemon, which are.. like, creatures with special powers! We catch them and live among them, like friends. They help us and we help them.

You've got your werewolves, black dogs, shape shifters- let me tell you, those are a bitch to track down- rawheads, ghouls [He winces]...sometimes you get things that're from way the hell away, like golems or sirens or oni. You know, America, the land of immigrants, and they just had to bring their goddamn monsters with 'em.
[John barks a short, humorless laugh and takes a swig of beer.]
Also got demons and banshees, but I've got it on good authority we've got some of those on hand already.

You sure it's just family?
