Outside, afternoon

[witchfinder_general]

It's not even a week since Father Harman has seen the last infected person, so he feels he ought to wait at least until Monday before going home. However, spending the last week and a half mostly at the library has been very fruitful, but he feels he needs some fresh air and movement.

So, despite the occasional rainshowers, this afternoon finds him walking around the lake, with occasional inroads into the forest, or on the mountainsides. It's all not really that large, but it affords him some hours to ramble, think, and enjoy God's creation under an open sky. Yes, even though this is the magically created outside of a bar situated beyond time, space, or even reality, Father Harman still counts it as God's creation.

Everything is. Except, maybe, vampires.

"We will have to, in order to get blood from them," Father Harman says.

[street_sparrow]

"Exactly. And if you know how they do it, you eventually know how to stop them."

[witchfinder_general]

"That is the idea behind everything we do," Father Harman says, nodding.

[street_sparrow]

"Do you know why they suddenly got big ideas, after living quietly for centuries? Just because the technology exists now to pull them off?"

[witchfinder_general]

"We suspect it's because humanity has the technology to destroy itself," Father Harman says. "They are most likely protecting their food source."

[street_sparrow]

"Protecting it by destroying it first?" he says dubiously. "Or do you think they'll wait until they have the way to mass-produce their blood substitute?"

[witchfinder_general]

"I think that is what they are doing," Father Harman says. "First, gain control over their food supply, then, eliminate all evolutionary rivals."

"And then some", Gavroche says, shaking his head.

"You do see the challenge my world is up against," Father Harman says. "However, it's getting cold here. I should either move on or go inside. Would you like to join me for either?"

[street_sparrow]

"Either one would be fine." He glances down at the panting dogs at his feet. "But I think they've had enough exercise."

[witchfinder_general]

"Then let us go inside," Father Harman says. "As I know dogs, they'll be grateful for a bowl of water, some treats, and the chance to lie in front of a fire for a bit."

[street_sparrow]

"Oh, every time", he says easily. "And they'll be friends who whoever gives them it."

[witchfinder_general]

"I'll do my best," Father Harman says, with a little smile, turning towards the bar itself.
