[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

"I guess you know nothing about Vampyr.  Or at least the Vampyr in this world," Simon says quietly.  "Some bolder Vampyr are a source of terror for most humans.  But they are considered the lowest of the low by other Ab-Dead, similar to drug addicts, begging on the streets for blood from the living.  They are infected with a disease called Photophobic Haemophagy so other Ab-Dead look down upon them for not being true Ab-Dead.  Begging for blood is second nature to these creatures."

"You know what Hemo-Farmers say," The Vampyr hisses.  "It's in you, to give..."   

Simon ignores its attempt at humor and instead just says, "Be careful.  Like I said, they are infected with P.H. and it's considered highly contagious.  If you have a break in the skin and you get some saliva or blood in the break you could end up just like one of these forked tongued devils."

The Vampyr sighs through its fanged teeth and then continues, "Like I've said, I've already been promised payment for this service.  So I'm here to tell you, your transportation -- what ever it is -- has been set up for tomorrow night at midnight at the same spot you were dropped off.  Whatever that means.  He didn't share.  He said you would know what he was referring to."
