6th Scoop [Action/Voice]

[It's summer. The village feels emptier with all of the combatants missing. There isn't enough to snoop into for Maryann, so she decides to go and get a drink again. Only this time, she's not comparing notes or looking into things. No, she's much more relaxed. Good as time as any to talk to everyone, though.]

I've been here almost four months, and

[This is a nice distraction after a long day on the battlefront. Here's a tired, but still friendly, tone.]

I ran my own medical clinic back home. [Soft laugh.] To be honest, things haven't been that different since I started working at the clinic here. Although I have to admit, I do miss my assistant.

You certainly sound like you were very dedicated to your job.

[Voice]

[followsthestory]

Oh, you're a doctor? I haven't really visited the clinic yet. Probably a good thing, considering.

Yes! Even though I do a lot of celebrity interviews, there's nothing like a hard-hitting story and delivering the truth to everyone.

[not_meatbuns]

[She laughs lightly.] I have to say, I'm just glad to hear you've been healthy.

And an honest reporter... it's been quite a long time since I met one. Our news back home was terribly biased, I'm afraid.

[Voice]

[followsthestory]

I'm glad to be healthy. Hopefully, things won't be too bad for a while.

Biased? How so? I mean, back home, there was an incident with my TV station once, where my boss was hiding a story to help himself. Something like that?

...I was a vampire hunter.

Don't really miss it, but I don't like being stuck here since I don't know what's going on on my own world at the moment.

[followsthestory]

A vampire hunter? Hold on. [Wait. Derp. She doesn't have her notes with her.] I'm not too clear on what that is.

[derek_bliss]

I...hunt vampires. Kill them before they can kill others.

[followsthestory]

No, I mean.

What's a vampire?

[youkai_buster]

I suppose I do kind of miss mine though it is not not having my editor come after me daily for my manuscript.

[followsthestory]

Oh! You're a writer, then? What kind?

[youkai_buster]

I am many things and a writer is one of them. Well, I write mostly about folklore and paranormal events.

[followsthestory]

That sounds interesting! I followed a story once with some similar sources, but it was definitely real. So do you do a lot of research when you write?

[justicereigns]

Yes, actually.

I was a marine. Still am really.

[followsthestory]

Does anything about being a Marine still work out in Luceti?

[justicereigns]

Yes and no.

My prey is still here, but catching them would be moot.

[followsthestory]

Y-your prey? Wait, you mean...there are people you're after here?
