*Tessa sighs as she sets up the network from a marker board on her wall.*

Are the aliens we're fighting giant organs? I really hope they aren't giant organs.

--um, I suppose I should clarify why I thought this. How many of you have remembered alien invasions that the "other you" saw? Do you think maybe that's why we're here? It's only a theory, and I do know it has some problems...

...I really hate that noise we're all hearing. I know somebody said it was stronger underneath the tower, but were there any machines there or anything you could see making the noise? Or a creature... no, you'd have fought it in that case. Sorry if this is troublesome.

Do you remember something like that?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Not really. Lots of magic and monsters and stuff, but not really any little green men or spaceships.

Or, uh, giant organs. Heck, even the monsters mostly looked pretty human.

[stavros]

There were humanoid Bacterians too, but it doesn't sound like we fought the same people. I guess that theory wasn't useful anyway.

[not_good_not_wicked]

No probably not. What else have you remembered?

Also: What is your name? I never got around to asking you.

[stavros]

Montessa Hart. My parents are a little old-fashioned. Tessa's fine. What about you?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Marisa. Guess you could say I'm a trainee magician.

[stavros]

I guess I was a vampire hunter, not a nun after all, so...

[not_good_not_wicked]

That sounds way more interesting, anyways.

[stavros]

It isn't scary?

[not_good_not_wicked]

It might have been back then, but anything scary that might have happened to vampire hunter Tessa has already happened. Now you just get to watch it all like a movie.

[stavros]

I just meant... I don't really want to hurt anybody here.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Then don't. At least you'll be prepared for danger, if it happens.

You should still figure out about the holy water, though.

[stavros]

If I must, for the sake of everyone.

[not_good_not_wicked]

That's the spirit. You're never sure where you stand with the undead.

[stavros]

Do you think?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well I mean, we're all just regular people who started turning all freaky. But if someone's turning into a vampire, they might suddenly regain an irresistible thirst for human blood. In which case, well...

Fortune favors the prepared.

[stavros]

Maybe...
