36th Blood | Day late and a dollar short

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid Brunestud, white princess of the true ancestors, with sharpened killer instincts and always completely on top of things picks up the phone today.

She is likely about to address the fellow residents of Mayfield with something important, something to think about, something that will stimulate the mind and show that she truly is a superior being. Take heed, Mayfield.]

[Phone | Unfiltered]

Hey...did anyone else get a weird letter in the mail? I haven't really been awake for a while. Did I miss something?

[Oh, wait, it's Arcueid Brunestud. Airhead vampire.]

[tsukihime]

I do whatever I want.

Humans always seem more motivated when a monster says they're better, though.

[captainofthe10th]

You.... are one of the few people to consider me a human, and not a monster, here.

[ Stop it or he's going to have a crush on you, you crazy girl. ]

[tsukihime]

Well that's because I'm a real monster.

A huge human is still a human.

[TO CRUSH UPON A XENO IS HERESY, GARVIEL.]

[captainofthe10th]

[ LOOKS HUMAN DOESN'T COUNT. LOVE CAN BLOOM ]

You're more humane than some humans I've seen here. Why is that?

[tsukihime]

[ABSOLUTELY NOT.]

Well, I really don't see a reason to do messed up things to humans. Even if they don't care about the planet they live on.

[captainofthe10th]

We live on quite a few, you know.

[tsukihime]

Oh, did you guys never live on Earth?

[captainofthe10th]

I was born on Cthonia, a colony of Terra.

[tsukihime]

Space humans are weird. I guess you all never lived on Earth.

[captainofthe10th]

I have never had the privilege of seeing the cradle of humanity, no.

[tsukihime]

Oh, so there is one.

See, the Earth is pretty important, and I'm kind of a result of that importance. Get it?

[captainofthe10th]

No.

[ He's always honest. ]

[tsukihime]

Ugh, nevermind.

I'm just not here to eat or kill or maim humans unless I feel like I need to, okay?

[captainofthe10th]

And I am here to defend humanity, as you know.

[tsukihime]

Yea yea, you say that all the time.

I just like messing with you because you're so uptight.

[captainofthe10th]

I don't know why I enjoy talking to you.

[ But he does. ]

[tsukihime]

Because I'm so cool.

[captainofthe10th]

I didn't notice a particular thermal change from most people. You are about the same temperature as Ciel.

[tsukihime]

You're an idiot.

[captainofthe10th]

And you are very capricious.

[tsukihime]

I know you aren't going to listen but you're better off not jumping into this crap.

It's just stupid Mayfield stuff. It's just going to end in more questions than answers. You humans may think a few years is a long time but to me I've barely spent any time here. It's the same thing every time.

[captainofthe10th]

Even so, there are people worth protecting going into them.

[tsukihime]

Protecting from what, though?

I bet any of them have died at least once, here. Stay in Mayfield long enough and you just get used to all of it.

[captainofthe10th]

A death that stays. Arcueid, this town is changing, breaking down.

Some people have been permanently slain, like the wife of the Smiths, and the Sheriff. Possibly a few others besides.

[tsukihime]

Weren't those like, a result of drama between the people that run this place?

Either way, if you all are so afraid of getting killed then you should probably stay out of the dangerous stuff.
