>>>>>[Thanks for a good evening. You do know there's a pack of vampires
following you around? They buttonholed me while I was waiting by my bike
(letting the detox patch burn off the whiskey before I rode anywhere)
and basically said I should stay away from you, unless I wanted to make
some money killing you and some of your friends.

I do so love people who do their research before they threaten people...
anyway, I was polite and didn't give them an excuse to start a fight. We
might not be taking long hot showers together, but you're a good guy to
drink with and I don't intend to let any vampires get in the way of a
promising acquaintance.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Spirit
>>>>>[I have a special requirement for some more of your arrows: I need
twenty with wooden heads, or some implementation thereof. The reason, as
you might guess, is that I may have vampire troubles in the near future.
Can you manage those?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hmm, they do anything interesting, or just talk? I really need to
get rid of these guys, they're starting to mess with some of my close
friends. I just hope they don't find Wolfen before I can warn him, maybe
he'll come home for a bit, I can defend him better there. Oh well, can
you keep an eye out for Wolfen? He's my son. I'll let him know otherwise,
just tell him to get in contact with me if you see him. I don't trust the
Matrix now, so have him call me if you see him.

Other than that, know any vampire hunters? I can pay well to hav a few of
these gotten rid of. I can deal with smaller numbers, but this many, even
with a lot of them new, is too much for just me. Thanx for the warning
and the drinks, it was an enjoyable evening.]<<<<<

>>>>>[They just talked. Threatened me a little, which was funny: hinted
they might offer me money to move against you, which was really funny. I
kept my face straight and nodded and behaved myself.

I'll keep an eye out for your boy, too, no problem. As for vampire
hunters... I don't know offhand, at least not for Seattle. You could try
InterPol or CDC, it's their jurisdiction, but they're usually worse than
useless. I'll see what I can do, and I might end up helping you out
directly. I don't like being threatened.]<<<<<

Not having much experience of vampires, and the only one I know well
being something of a friend, I thought I should seek advice. Do you know
these guys? Are they as well-adjusted as you, or a threat to the public?
Is Blademaster a good guy or a bad guy?

Basically, do I walk away or pick a side?]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Jason R Stormwind, Serenity Security
>>>>>[Jas, know any vampire hunters? A guy called Blademaster has
problems and they threatened me indirectly: by rep he's a good guy, in
person I liked him, so I figured I'd see if you had any contacts. It's
not my area of expertise, all I can do is direct him to CDC or InterPol:
neither of which I'd trust to take out my trash, let alone deal with a
threatening group of vampires.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Vampires, one's a friend. Dragons... two I'd call friends, two
I've killed, one left me with the interesting scars on my gun arm (while
I was hanging out of the door of a Learjet at 18,000 feet, but that's
another story).

Meet up with me at >>encrypted<<. Good vodka and some of the best Scotch
you'll find in Seattle. Needs to be soon, I may have business elsewhere.

Looking forward to finally meeting you.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Sounds good. Looking foreward to finally seeing you face to face too.
The vampire and dragon question was a bit leading. I seem to be having
trouble with some vampires, and I do monetary concerns and help a dragon.
So you see, I needed to make sure there were no biases against or for
either, just in case one or the other decided to call on me while I was
out. The dragon prbably wouldn't, but the vampires have been leaving
calling cards everywhere. It's starting to annoy me, I may have to do
something about them. Anyway, >>encrypted<< sounds great. I'll meet you
there around >>encrypted<< tommarrow?]<<<<<
