[I THINK HE CAN AND HE SHOULD... HE DESERVES A LITTLE TREAT.]

"Raevahn isn't like the other normies. When Mandi, the mysterious transfer student with a dark secret, catches her reading a book out in the woods, sparks fly--" What is this?

[IS THIS A ROMANCE NOVEL??? HE DOESN'T WANT THIS.]

[dropoffs]

[ Vash just went instantly quiet after the first line because he really didn't know what to expect. Yeah. He still wasn't prepared for this. ] I have Raevahn and Mandi have a happily ever after.

[rav3n]

[



He puts the book back.]

...Well, at least we have entertainment.

[Not that he minds being focused on escaping and such but he's a book nerd so this could be worse. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THERE ARE VAMPIRES OUT THERE.]

[dropoffs]

Think we'll keep these... Illusion spaces when the ship goes to the next planet? [ Vash peruses a little... ] There's a lot of books about blood.

[rav3n]

I think it depends on why we're getting it now... if it's something about this planet, or something about the ship.

[He pulls another book off the shelf, frowning at the back.]

I really hope they just didn't organize their sections well. [THAT'S CLEARLY NOT WHAT'S GOING ON BUT HE DOESN'T LIKE THE ALTERNATIVE IMPLICATIONS]

[dropoffs]

I guess we'll see if it stays? That would tell us if it's related to the planet or the ship, right? [ Vash looks at the book Luke has, then at the spines on the shelves... Then down their aisle. Back to Luke. ] Maybe they're just very into vampirism... Even on No Man's Land, you find books like that.

[rav3n]

Yeah, that's true. We can keep an eye on it.

[And then it will be gone and they will know. For now, he tilts his head.]

Like a gothic bookstore, you mean?

[dropoffs]

[ sometimes the planet stays when we are there and disappears when we are not. ] ... I think more that the planet's full of vampires, if this is an illusion of it.

[rav3n]

--Really?!

[NOW THAT VASH POINTS IT OUT he can see the logic, but also, what the fuck]

[dropoffs]

I'd assume so... I remember visiting a planet that's all werewolves. [ There's no limit in the stars. He shows Luke a book on cybervampire technology. How to maintain your siphon system! ] Oh, right. Also some people who kind of look like Sidon.

[rav3n]

Woah, really? Fish people?

[DON'T JUST CALL HIM A FISH PERSON

He takes the book and looks through it with morbid curiosity]

...Is it stealing if we take these?

[dropoffs]

Yeah! First time I saw a fish in person. [ lord ] I don't think so! No one's around to say no, so... Let's see about taking them back. [ They are not going to come with them. This is so sad. ]

[rav3n]

Alright. Let's see what we can find for food while we're at it.

[THEY CAN TRY!!! And fail.]

[dropoffs]

[ The cafes, the restaurants, the convenient stores they check... ] It's mostly blood.

[rav3n]

[:man_standing:]

It really is a vampire planet...
