Hey! Nice! Finally, a normal blood reading for once. Looks like we’re back to the usual business—demons or cryptids. In this case, I’m leaning toward demons. Or… maybe vampires? Vampire demons. Sounds worse than it probably is. Based on the readings we got over in Old Bridge, New Jersey, we’re dealing with…
Morningstar: -6.21
Infernus: NULL
Hauntaurskald: 0.0311
Ouroboros: 9.14
Esterskald: NULL
Mayda: NULL
Amaymon: 77.21
Everdark: 25.00
Angelic: NULL
Elder: NULL
Outer Elder: NULL
How sweet is this new blood output, by the way? The Blackwoods over at Barista Technologies really knocked it out of the park with this model. And double sweet—we’ve got an “Everdark” reading now. So, we’re clearly dealing with a Corpse Reviver customer, but with some strong Everdark and Ouroboros elements too… which is… odd. Especially the Ouroboros. Then again, vampires are kind of undead, right? Not like No. 512 Undead… or maybe exactly like No. 512 Undead? I mean, she did get her powers from the Amaymon, didn’t she?
I dunno. It’s gonna be interesting to figure out what the deal is with these vampire demons. Now that we know it’s demons and not ghosts or other otherworldly creatures, we can dive into some research on Otherside vampires. Might be a bit rusty when it comes to Otherside research, but hey, at least it’s a breath of fresh air, right?
As for the urgency of this service, we’re still at a low simmer. These vampires haven’t done anything too alarming yet, despite their “Mrs.” classification. So far, the worst they’ve done is float around a few tourists, curse them out, give them a good scare, and turn into bat-like creatures. It’s some clean-up work for No. 53, sure, but nothing too bloody. Yet.
