Most charming.

...What is?

[ Side-stepping her question. ]
You're here because a few insane, histrionic spirits have taken a liking to you. Just like they have to me.

[ ...It wasn't really a surprise to her that another vampire hasn't heard of Klaus, the original. Some of them were terribly oblivious.
And fine. Sidestep away. That wasn't too much of an important question for her anyway. ]
...Spirits? [A doubtful look.] Seriously? And what do they want?

Not that he had been very careful of hiding what he was recently anyway.]
This is a city ruled by these creatures called 'Animus'. They give no laws, but they manipulate this city, and the people in it as they please. i sincerely hope you like mind games, because they will play quite a few.

Shrugging it off, but at the same time, filing it away for memory, Katherine let her lips slip into a subdued smile, coy and self-assured.
Mind games, huh?]
I don't like it when mind games are played on me. [She tilts her head. ]
So. You're a vampire? [She sounded doubtful.But he clearly wasnt making the effort to hide the fangs.]

The best you can do as of yet is try to avoid falling for their tricks. They have as much power as a god, or nearly, it would seem.

You're not mistaken. [ A longer pause, and a snerk ] But who are you? [She didn't trust him, naturally. Just because they were the same kind, doesn't mean they were supposed to be friends. To Katherine? RIght now, he was just another pawn she could possibly use to get out.]
[ A frown.] Hm. Noted.

I can see you.

Well, if he won't be helpful, at least he'll be nice to look at.]
Mm, good.
Anything useful you can tell me?

What have the others told you so far?

Only the name of this place. [ A beat, as she tilts her head.] And that it plays mind games.
As fun as all that sounds, I'm curious as to how I leave.

[Arthur looks concerned, he's newly enough arrived that he remembers how jarring it is.]
Have the others explained to you what this place is? I'm afraid I don't quite understand yet myself. Only that we're not dreaming...
[He picks up his totem, a red weighted die, and turns it over a few times in his hand before putting it back in his pocket.
And as far as I've been told, there's no way out.

No...not exactly. [Might as well play the victim she technically is.]
[She crosses her arms, and a slight shrug.]
I know that the thing responsible for dumping me here is the Animus. I have no idea what that actually is...
Or why I'm here. Thought...I guess I'm better off here than I was at home...
Reply
Yeah, I don't really know what it is either. Or how it chooses us. I've been here a bit more than a week and all I know is that you can't leave, and you've got to scrounge for everything here.
I'm Arthur, incidentally.
Reply
...Guess I can do that.
[ But then another smile, however strained.]
I'm Katherine.
So. No one can leave? That's it? Did anyone try?

Well, if you're here too, whoever you are, you're just as...fucked as I am.

So you like being some sort prisoner?
