(*NETWORK*)

[A woman with long blonde hair is on the network. Lexi gives a small wave to whoever may be on the other end.] I don't know what's up with the door here, but I can't make it work. [RUDE.] I tried.

One minute I'm with my best friend at a not-really-birthday-party party at a local place celebrating his one hundred sixty second birthday, and the next minute ... I'm here.

[And yes. Yes she did just casually say that someone she knows is 162 years old. She's 350, for the record.]

I'm Lexi Branson, for those tuned in. [Anyone?] I'm more of a night owl with sun issues, so any advice on for what's around here to do when the sun's not up?

Interesting. Like some move faster and some hear better? We just get the same strengths and weaknesses in my world; it's all pretty uniform.

Like some might as well be straight from the pages of Dracula, and some are other creatures entirely that just look human most of the time. Turning into a Red Court vampire is a full transformation. Their real bodies, the ones they usually hide, look nothing like the people they started out as. [Harry once told her that Dracula was published as part of a ploy to undermine the Black Court's power. It is basically a how-to guide when it comes to killing Black Court vampires.]

I've seen some shit and even I'll say that sounds creepy. Not to mention kinda rough. [a pause.] I guess I should be glad it is how it is where I'm from.
