Yeah it fuckin happened again. The vile den of every evil, 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖑𝖊 𝕯𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖚𝖑𝖆, has appeared outside of town and there's monsters and ghosts and poo poo coming out. Zombies trying to shamble back into work not realizing they're undead. There's a group of skeletons who hang out in the alley wearing leather jackets and smoking, the cops won't do poo poo about these fishmen or the assholes who keep drag racing hearses at all hours of the night. Seriously the second the sun goes down it's an absolute clusterfuck.



Somebody has to do something about it. Who is badass enough to explore the castle, kill ~𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖙~ again, and put a stop to this until the next time some jackass resurrects him?



Post your professional vampire hunting skill and if a big enough group forms you can try to enter the castle (the first rule of vampire hunting is never hunt alone). They leave the front gate wide open at night, but maybe there's a better way to tackle this, who knows. These monsters are totally loving everything up though, even eating unsuspecting regular people and poo poo like that.

Whatever, make up your skill & post what you want to do from midnight to dawn on Oct 1 (drac's castle materialized at midnight, ofc all vamp hunters immediately know). If you survive till sunrise, you can decide what to do from dawn till dusk.

The Wildsing twins, Van and Dan.



Growing up somewhere in the Central Northwest Regional Area of the United States, the pair were definitely the 'cool' kids in town. This status continued and was indeed elevated during college, when they had to attend a toga party and oust card-carrying members of the Bone Brigade!


After those brutal nights of doing kegstands and beer bongs while smashing reanimated skeletons into splintered shards of hydroxyapatite and keeping their buzz going, the pair have finally decided that ultimate party-fouler Draculia needs to be dealt with - in his own den. They would defeat the ancient evil who only ever provides Stroh's at his parties, and they know how to shotgun more than beers.

Skills- Able to hold their substances and keep face to an almost superhuman level, and make cutting and insightful remarks even in the direst of situations. A man in a celebration has little to fear, even from the horrors in the dark.

From dusk till dawn they get their buzz on and hang out by the front gate until they get a nice party crew going. Then they send in some Omega-Omega-Omega pledges in through the gates first to check for Dracula's security systems. And to scope out any bangin' monster ladies the brothers might want to get to know. Those dames gotta know all about the ins and outs of the castle.

Skill Class: Weredeer Berserker

An inflated sphere of pink bubblegum popped at the tip of Treena's deer-like mouth as she scanned 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖑𝖊 𝕯𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖚𝖑𝖆 from the smoking balcony of her favorite sports bar. She squinted into the looming darkness and smacked her lips, drawing the pink gum back inside her mouth to keep chewing - when her "time" came with the moon, the weredeer lady got an oral fixation to chew her cud like something fierce.

This wasn't the 'normal' time for Treena to have transformed into her weredeer state, either, but something seriously spooky had been building up behind her temples for weeks now, culminating in 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖑𝖊 𝕯𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖚𝖑𝖆 somehow manifesting in the rougher parts of town. It stood to reason that the vampire count's sudden evil presence in the area would be enough to cause Treena's curse to flare up super bad.

Technically, Treena was supposed to be getting ready for softball practice tomorrow morning before her team's big tournament next weekend, but her were-antlers were already sprouting out on full display and there was no way she was going to get to sleep tonight...

[[["We kickin' it 2nite or am I knockin' out drac's windows solo???"]]] Treena texted the #paranormies discord, more than a little drunk.

Treena, Dan & Van check out the Castle entrance :rolldice:: Seems the castle itself uses the ancient Arcane & Inconfigurable POTS Line of Olde to handle security and certain other matters. There's also the Swamp Side of the Castle, but before you can investigate more a group of stuck up Ghost Revelers manifests

Dracula likes to party, it seems. No doubt he gets his 'guests'(the living ones) nice and sloshed before supping to get his own buzz on, they assess.

In the morning they change their majors to and attend classes on hematology. They use their social skills and excellent taste in drugs and booze to shmooze the head of the department and find any projects in the works to manipulate human blood so the various slurping, sanguinary insects and animals get a taste of things they don't like.

Spike the booze, get the frosh pledges loaded and send them into have a Monster Mash.. but first, a quick afternoon power nap to keep their heads on straight.

The young weredeer woman walked to the park and was found by her softball team a couple hours later, passed out in the dugout by the baseball diamond.

"So, Treena... some, uh, accursed deer must've bit'cha, right?" Treena's coach asked her, so as to brush off any of her teammates concerns. "You can still play field, yeah?"

I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
The original Japanese name for Castlevania, Akumajō Dracula, is usually translated as something like "Dracula's Satanic Castle" or "Dracula's Demonic Castle." I don't know Japanese or anything, but the way "Akumajō" is transliterated as a compound word makes me think the idea was something cheesier like "SataniCastle Dracula" or "DemoniCastle Dracula," sort of like "MechaCastle" or "HyperCastle" or something like that.

Like, Castle Dracula isn't just Satanic, it's the next level of demonic awesomeness, mwahaha! *organ music* *bats squeaking*

My gut tells me whoever translated it took it the same way, which is what inspired the localization to go with a similar cheesy compound name like "Castlevania." Of course I have no way of knowing for sure, but come on, that explanation rocks.

"Lemme guess: that 'city-wide silver shortage' hit you guys too? Everywhere I look I can't even find a set of spoons, but I bet you actually know what's going on..."

Treena swung her baseball bat onto her shoulder and tried to leer menacingly at the pawn store clerk seated behind the bulletproof plexiglass. She wasn't going to wreck anything, was she - li'l ol' her?

The squinting dude looked like he didn't usually give a poo poo about customers getting a little physical with the junk on the store's main floor, but the antlers sticking out of this girl's head were making him second-guess calling her out on her bluff.

"Hasn't been a big supplier in town since the silver mine flooded..."

Within a couple minutes spent on questions, Treena had a lead on a stash of silver that meant she'd need to get a little wet while delving flooded caves, later.

Time passed in a blur for Treena as her plans became closer a flurry of activity bordering on obsession. The next stop was the university geology department, to get more details and maybe a map.
