"- Hey rotund cutie, can you help me with some directions around here?
- Oh hello! I never seen you before, you must been a new joiner!
- Yes, your vampire mistress saved me last night, I was licking my wounds in the infirmary until now, but she said I should join the others here in the barracks, My name is Eva by the way.
- Good to have you among the survivors Eva, my name is Diana.
- It's good to be here indeed, nice meals, cozy beds a solid roof and walls to protect us...the end of the world is not so bad after all.
- well, its all a bit humble and improvised yet, but the mistress is putting a lot of work into this keep...it just hurts me that not everyone could be saved...
- Not gonna lie I'm happy some people got eaten by the night monsters, all my ungrateful sons and my drunkard husband got butchered and now I'm a happy free woman.
- By Dahlia this is horrible, how can you say such a thing!?
- I was sold and forced to marry that swine when I was only 12, every sing child he put on me came out to be a unsalvageable sacks of shit like him, the only nights I would not be beaten was when he drank too much to even walk, I'm sorry it shocks you girl but I'm very happy my "family" died.
- Well looking for this angle...I guess it was really a good thing for you, I will refrain from judging you I don't have this right...I was shocked because I'm still grieving the death of my husband, he was good men and didnt deserved the grim end he received...
- Judging by your big belly I assume you both were about to start a family...
- Yes I'm carrying our first litter...we were so happy, everything would be great...but then the creatures came...
- Hey hey hey...I see this bring you a lot of pain, lets leave the past in the past ok?
- Yes...yes...you wanted directions right?
- Yes, were do I get a gun here? if we gonna be attacked by crazy cultists I want to be the first to dome one next attack.
- Oh, you are a sharpshooter? the arquebuses, shot and ammo are stashed on the second floor near the embrasures, if we get an attack just rush there and arm yourself, there is plenty for everyone.
- good good! but how about armor? can I get one of those fancy full plates like a knight? I have the guts to fight toe to toe with anything, I just need the gear!
- Well that's a bit more complicated, full sets of armor are rare because the mistress need to scavenge them, and then fit for our fighters...if you really wanna be a front liner you gotta talk to captain Katia, she will judge if you are good enough to be a frontliner, if she approves you, you going to get a dose of magical blood from the mistress to make you stronger and tougher.
- Magical blood huh?
- yes, the blood of the mistress can make you better on every aspect, heal old wounds and even make you younger!
- I see...I'm gonna work my way up in this keep, thanks for the information sweetie!
- oh!?ok good luck!"
