You know, if all the information found in the book in that other world or whatever is true, it just makes the outsiders look more like scumbags. If I have a giant sentient castle munching on my soul, I'd rather know about it, you know? I don't think I'm really the only one, right? If you have more information, you can make a better decision. Maybe it'd have changed things...

Of course, I guess there hasn't been mass exodus, huh? Is it just that it would be too hard? There's some stuff set up out in the dead zone, but not enough to support everybody in the castle. People would actually have to work for their keep. Maybe it's easier to just pay tribute.

It sounds really ominous, doensn't it? That you're feeding something off your soul. If it's true. But I have to wonder then, what if souls regenerate or something? Maybe souls can heal like bodies do. I guess I don't know enough, but there might be some here who could talk about that. [A small amused sound.]

Though, the world outside is the most exciting thing here, too. We really are living in a world that hasn't been explored... and it's full of beautiful, magical mysteries out there. But even though there are ways we could get out, most people just stay in the castle all the time. Some adventurers.

Who wants to play a game?

[Anyway. Today Rin can be found out on the edge of the woods, in her usual haunt - under Alexstrasza's tree. She's leaned up back against the trunk with her journal over her knees, and her Arcanine sprawled out at her feet, enjoying the dappled sunshine.

You can't get a soul back?

Maybe for a normal vampire. Possibly.

Why is it different for you?

I'm a true blood vampire. I wasn't sired by another vampire, I was turned by an extremely powerful mage.

And that mage was not the kind of person to leave open such possibilities.

... That's so unfair. So what does that mean? In the long run?

That I'm stuck like this, more or less.

Well, it's not like you're going to be in trouble with God or something, right?

I've cursed His name ever since I became like this. I don't think I'm in his good graces either way.

It's not what you'd have chosen, is it? It's not fair for anyone to be angry at you for being what you are.

I spent the better part of my life living through the age of the witch hunts, I can attest that most people have no problems doing just that.

People in modern times are much more open-minded, though.

Well, I didn't think people would have a problem with it. But what about gods and stuff? Do they exist in your world? Have you met any?

They definitely exist.

...You're Japanese. Have you ever heard of Ryoumen Sukuna no Kami?

Of course I have! And I mean, I met gods here! But hearing stories about a god doesn't mean it absolutely exists!

Well, I've had a run in with him. So he does.

Well what if he exists in your world but not in my world?
