<p>"Your subordinates are such a letdown, do make this interesting at least?" ‎</p><hr><p><code>29 / 04 / 1910</code><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)"> </span><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">Sols leaned forward, planting a firm hand on the tavern table, interrupting the boisterous chatter with a smug smirk barely visible beneath the brim of his tilted hat.</span></em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)"> "So, I heard some rumors about a vampire sighting in town?"</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">"Who do ya think you are, barging into our conversation like that?" </span><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">A gruff voice sounded out, and all eyes turned towards him.</span></em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)"> "We don't like your attitude, so scram if you know what's good for ya."</span></p><p><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">Ohohoho?

A dry chuckle escaped Sols' lips as he slowly stood up, adjusting his hat to reveal his piercing gaze.</span></em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)"> "Oh, my apologies, good sir," *he replied with a hint of sarcasm,* "but let me ask you kindly once more. What do you know about the vampire in town?"</span></p><p><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">Sols relished the way recognition melted into fear on their faces. It was always amusing... and fitting for the likes of them. Getting them to talk was an easy task, and soon he was out of the tavern, following the trail of rumors.</span></em></p><p><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">Witnesses had reported seeing the same cloaked figure wandering the markets. This individual, cloaked from head to toe, always wore gloves. Why would an ordinary person cover themselves so completely? Unless, of course, they weren't ordinary at all—they were a vampire.</span></em></p><p><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">Eight people had mysteriously disappeared under unknown circumstances, and the public had dubbed these disappearances </span></em><strong><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">"Eight-pril"</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">. Coincidentally, all eight had vanished in April, giving rise to the ominous nickname.</span></em></p><p><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">And now, more rumors—</span></em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">"Wait... hah, ain't it my lucky day." </span><em><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">Sols whistled, a triumphant grin spreading across his face. He adjusted his hat, his gaze locked onto the target.</span></em></p><p><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">"Now, where's your lair?" ‎</span></p><hr><p><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">Notes:</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--chakra-colors-chakra-body-text)">i. a low effort bot probably, i like vampires, i like witches. what happens if i combine the two? i dunno, lol, im bad at appearances, still experimenting.</span></p><p>ii.
