[network] [video] [locked to new hires]
[the man before you is tall, long-haired, quite pale, and wears tinted glasses. He takes them off as he speaks, revealing glowing red eyes; astute viewers may notice that his nails are dark and oddly-shaped, more like claws.]
Good evening. Or morning, or afternoon, as the case may be. My name is Beckett. I'm a recent arrival. I'm making this post by way of introduction and some explanation, since my nature may be, for some of you, cause for concern.
I am what most of you would call a vampire. I am clinically dead, resurrected by supernatural means and sustained by the blood of the living. That being said, I'm also not bad at chess, a decent poker player, and a wonderful dancer.
[He pauses briefly, for laughter. That was An Joke. He is Putting You At Ease.]

I am given to understand that I'm not the first of my kind to arrive here, although the young man who preceded me appears to have vanished. I'm not sure how much of an impression he made. I'd be happy to answer what questions I can, within limits. To start with the obvious one: Jorgmund has seen to my nutritional needs, so I won't be asking for volunteers.
[He means to smile reassuringly, but mostly just bares his teeth.]
Any other questions?

[Dan might be flirting or he might just be Like That, even he’s not sure. He sees the predator peeking through and, well, that’s fine. Bloodlust and habit are a hell of things, he won’t judge. He just won’t let his guard down.]

[He smiles, quite satisfied with this outcome.]
A night off trawling through this ridiculous excuse for a library won't impede my progress.
Want me to set up a log?
Ugh, libraries. If there are audiobooks, Dan hasn’t been able to read the instructions on where to find them. Real books give him hives; it’s like being surrounded by dark trees and shadows in a forest late at night, only for his brain.]
Meet you there in an hour? Gives you a chance to meet some other folks first.
sure! i'll hit it up tomorrow though
[It would be a rakish grin if he wasn't discussing, you know, eating people.]
I'll see you shortly, then.
I'll put it up today!
Looking forward to it!
