As the Veil fog parts around her, Sydney finds herself surrounded by warm air weighted with humidity. The dissipating mist seems strangely out of place, even without its sudden coming and going, when she gets a view of the tropical scene before her. She appears to be looking out over some kind of small pool of water that flows into a cove, and there are small boats up against the shore, into which several men are loading crates, shouting to one another in Filipino.

Living vampires?

[celerystick]

Correct, the Moroi are alive, or as alive as anything feeding off of human blood can be. They're born, they live, and they die of old age if all goes well.

[moonheart]

That is some weeeeeeird crap. [ faith's eyes bug out a bit as she considers ] So they can have babies?

[celerystick]

[She nods.]

How else would they be born?

[moonheart]

I thought it was that whole drain 'em dry and feed 'em blood undead-making thing.

[celerystick]

Those kinds of vampires are made, not born. Completely different set of circumstances.

[silvermaid]

It seems we both have much to learn. [ anastacia nods ahead - the little boat is drifting up to a small island, on which structures are visible ] The Alchemists' Cove.

[She looks out to where she gestures, taking in the sights. (Spot 17)]

Something tells me these probably aren't going to be my kind of Alchemists. At least not entirely.

[silvermaid]

We'll find out soon enough. [ a beat ] If they're not... we know someone who might be able to help you.

[celerystick]

[She nods once, still looking ahead for any sign of these Alchemists (Spot 20 total). She wants to know who she's referring to, but she'll save that question if it's needed.]
