[Daniil posts live from a café near the museum. He has no patience for typing responses, and his own visage should explain why. His nose has recently been broken and reset. He looks exhausted and irritated, but he has a duty.]

I need a couple people to come down to the café near that absurd museum with the sewn up fruit exhibits. Bring a stretcher, we have a patient who could use some more urgent treatment.

[From somewhere offscreen, a voice that is distinctly not Daniil’s states:] This Etrayan shot me in an attempt to get information I did not possess. I would appreciate his removal from my presence.

Now- That’s not true at all. That is not the reason you were stopped. [Daniil now regrets making a video, but what’s done is done. ]

I’ve never liked the Church. But Church is not all there is to society, let alone polite society. Especially not polite society. Ettiquette is for learned men to know how to greet one another as equals. I’m sorry you’ve been deprived a childhood. How old are you now?


And when are you from? I assume nearly everyone is from 2015, especially when I see such affronting screen names.

[He can see the 1476 there, but. No way, right? Or maybe yes way.]

[fitshaced]

well, that must be nice for you, but the church dictates a lot where i'm from. including whether or not people speak to me or if they try to start shit with me just for having the audacity to exist in their general vicinity.

i am from wallachia in 1476. nero came up with the user name, not me.

[Daniil is not the most antiquated man. He’s so thrilled. ]

Sounds horrible.

Did the Church dictate manners as well? It must be hard for you to adapt to this modern multicultural place.

So what was the medicine like? Humours? Four of them, perhaps?

[fitshaced]

not nearly as hard as it is for you it seems.

sorry to disappoint, but it isn't as backwards as you'd hope. the church deems everything they don't like or understand or can't control as devilry, but there are learned men and women who know true science. they just have to hide their trade unless they feel like being put to death.

What do you mean hard for me? I’m not this tortured creature, mired in struggle.

I don’t know, it sounds fairly backwards.

Can I ask if you think the sun rotates around the earth?

[fitshaced]

danny, i'm going to level with you: you talk like you are.

i have more terrestrial concerns than what's happening beyond earth. so long as the sun rises every morning, that's all i care about.

[thantagonist]

Nonsense. I’m the master of my own path. What, you aren’t even curious about that sort of thing?

[Fair enough, perhaps. But it’s what he expects of the other as well at this point.]

[fitshaced]

sun comes up and vampires fuck off again until nightfall. that's all that matters to me.

i'll leave the specifics of how it all works to astronomers, and they can let me know if something's going to fuck us over into an eternal night.
