No.

No no no.

There are many stories of the living dead killing their family as one of the first things they do. If you care about your family at all, I would suggest against going to their home. Meeting a family member elsewhere would at worst get two people killed, so if you really need to see someone, try to approach them alone.

Unless you think your family's a bunch of pricks and don't mind killing them all during a glorious rise to power, I mean. Familial flesh is usually a good source of invigoration, according to the tales.

I have two brothers, Dederich and Jal, and a sister, Rose.
Our mother is... no longer with us.

I'd go with the hunting lodge, unless it's occupied. If that's the case, head to the woodcutter's hut.

Try to avoid any popular roads, so nobody spots you. If you have to, just stay a good 20 feet in the woods, and try to be inconspicuous.

The axe's weight is comforting in your hands. You know what must be done.

You know, that's a good point.

Rafail, try to focus here. Even as a vampire, those guys might be able to wound, or even kill you if they get their hands on a few weapons. Grab that axe, and observe the two bastards through the window. If you think you can take 'em, then, by all means, do so. If not, try to sneak away quietly.

Coat and cloak should keep you from creeping people out more than they are usually creeped out by a guy in a cloak asking questions.

more to the point, it should hide your identity so as to preserve the illusion that you are in fact, dead. Element of surprise, remember?

listen not to the dissenter. A couple extra words never hurt anyone. Still if you are looking to keep everyone happy (and improve your storytelling at the same time) you could try to describe your actions in a way that gives new information, or just work the action into your description to avoid clunky emotes in first person narrative.

Okay, smalltalk won't save your butt. Mayby it's time to make a case for bringing the perpetrators to justice. Questions above and tell that something about the robbery seemed off.

She totally did. This presents a little bit of a problem. If you agree to spend the night with her, things might get out of hand and you're still in the middle of an investigation.

...on the other hand, you ARE quite hungry.

Well, she is quite pretty. I suppose it would do no harm and could be quite intresting. Smells good.

goddamnit vampire man, don't drain her entirely. just bring her back, tie her up, and drain nightly.

>>30344
Or just drain her partly now and let her go about her business come morning. Most girls like biting; with luck she won't be one of those ones that get freaked out by it, and we'll be able to make this a fairly regular thing.

I drank and I drank.
I drank it all.
I drained her dry.

With each drop I could feel her life flow into me, filling me.
I as strong as I've ever felt. More than that. I feel stronger than I ever would have imagined.

> Why is it so dark?

That woman. I can hear her thoughts. I feel her echoing inside me.

Make her stop.

MAKE IT STOP. MAKE HER STOP, VOICES.

Why did you kill her you monster. God will punish you, god will make you suffer for your sins. This is your penance, you will hear her laments forever. Murderer.

>>30439
She's a friend. You hurt her, because you love her. She will understand. When more follow.

Now, now. We all knew this would happen. And I do welcome the company.

He will tell you that when you're playing with his intestines. All in good time. Oh, rip off her head while you're at it. Do we really want her to wake up like we did? In fact I hope you did the same to the one who's arm we took. Wouldn't want to meet him looking for his appendage. Awkward.

Hahahaha, well since you did not just consider yourself exposed or possibly having a terrible nemesis in future. I'll leave the decision up to you.

Find an alley where you can climb over the wall.

But that climbing thing is a good enough idea. The wall isn't in perfect condition so it should be easy enough. I'll head west, since that's the less reputable part of town and has far more alleys than it should.

>>31287

Shape his hair to be like horns, draw mud stache, tie bootlaces together, hide his weapon away, set his booth on fire, watch in glee. I don't know, I didin't think this so I have no good suggestions.

First off, that's a hat, not his hair. I'll just move the hat. And there's no mud around, just dry dirt and grass.
Ok, hiding the rifle (one of those English ones that father bought a few years back).
I'll tie his bootlaces tog-

Not fighting anyone in open streets or killing them just because we wanted to do a prank.

Ah. Szekel. Looks like the mist is rising.
The mansion is pretty much on the opposite side from here. Should I go straight through the center or circle around the west side? It's a longer route but I'm less likely to run into people there.

>>31537

You're supposed to be dead and they can't all be as sleepy as the guard. Circle around.

Why don't you try if you have powers turning into a bat? Flying over city would be easy way to avoid bypassers. Maybe it works if you concentrate hard enough?

I've heard that there is the occasional burglary or mugging. Especially here in the west side. I'm sure it's nothing serious.

Oh sorry, it's just how these things are usually laid out. Lots of hovels and taverns for the proletariat on the outskirts of town. Inner city that houses the upper middle class is the one walled off and then there's the aristocracy behind another wall or just their mansion walls. I guess this is a town that's seen a lot of action. I'm not distracting you am I? Keep aware.

There's a man in the alley to your left. He's probably trying to mug you.
