Harriet MacLeod (aka 'Harry'):
Harry grunts in reply. "Charity Collins, née Trask, held a séance. Whatever we contacted pulled a few of us here. At least two are currently missing. Another stumbled through some sorta portal he found whilst roaming Collinwood. He's missing too. Been here 'bouta month. Folk ain't used t' seein' a gal dressed like a fella or near as tall as me, so they think I'm a young man on account of me bein' pretty. Prefer t' keep it that way. More than a little superstitious hereabouts, folk are."
"Clearly. We're currently in a year closer to the times when they burned witches than our own. Or at least my own. What year are you from, if I may ask."
Adam DeLacey:
Adam turned at the mention of a seance. "I believe that might have been a mistake." This is clearly an understatement, so perhaps he is thinking something else? He moved back out of the sun. He halted, turning to Elihu, "I am not a vampire. I honestly do not know exactly what I am." He pulled back his hood once inside so that his myriad of scars are at least somewhat obvious. "I blame the Colins family. I mean to have revenge before my death."
Elihu was taken aback in surprise by Adam's countenence, but that was quickly overtaken by a scientist's curiosity.
"That must have been some accident...but it wasn't an accident. Your skin, those aren't grafts. or at least not purely dermatological. And those are scars from surgical stapling. You're not from this time either, or at least you weren't when your surgery was done. This is absolutely fascinating. Do you know how this all happened to you?"
They:
The two, ah, patients don't like the sunlight.
One is a man, maybe around 30 years of age, dressed like a sailor -- although his clothes are torn and blood-stained and they look like he's been sleeping in them day-in-day-out for a week. Even though he's not quite conscious (yet-- looks like it might come soon), he is clearly uncomfortable in the sunlight, squirming, wincing (squeezing his eyes shut tighter). He wiggles in his tied-up-ness.
The other man, darker, longer hair, wearing only underclothes (and tied and gagged), is, on one hand, having less-active symptoms, but he's also clearly uncomfortable. He doesn't look as much like he's waking up-- he looks more like he's fading fast health-wise. It's probably the big, fresh wound in his gut. (Elihu feels a bit of regret that he didn't look these patients over a little more closely when they first arrived.)
Interrupted from his new scientific mystery by the previous one, Elihu returns his attention to the two vampires. Or pre-vampires, whatever they're called. Finally spotting the guys wound, he curses his sloppiness.
"Watch them. I need to go grab some sutures to sew him up." he can't help but make a quick mental note to observe how his patient's vampiric turning will affect this serious wound.
