[You are in a jamjar! It's pretty okay as jamjars go - every now and then there is a Forced Social Interaction, but it's not a horror game or whatnot.

Today a very tall (very tall) teenage girl has asked you to speak to her in private. Once you're alone:]

I love you.



[You have literally never spoken to this girl before this.]

Comments

[nightcalling]

Hmmm? You liked it that much, huh?

[ a teasing tone enters her voice. just don't point out how much nazuna was enjoying it. ]

Then would you like me to bite you more, little miss~? [ ojou-chan. ]

[1week]

I would. -But you liked it too, right? You sounded like you did.

[From what Lira could hear over her own moaning, anyway.]

[nightcalling]

H-h-hey, that's besides the point! [ she reaches up, jabbing at lira's cheek with a finger. ] Besides, who wouldn't enjoy your freakishly delicious blood?! It's perfectly normal!

[1week]

Really? It didn't taste like anything special when you kissed me...

[nightcalling]

Well, th-that's...

[ she looks like she's about to start squirming into her coat again. but she resists it, finally giving a real answer. ]

...Miss Detective thinks it's an issue of compatibility. If there's no chance they'll become a servant, then their blood tastes cruddy so we don't waste our time.

[ and if it's a guarantee? if they love you that dearly?

well. lira's right here, isn't she? ]

[1week]

Oh. That makes sense.

Do you have any other servants?

[nightcalling]

Huh? No way. I don't go around trying to do that kind of stuff. [ it's an immediate answer, without a hint of deception behind it. sure, kou and kyouko are two weird examples around it, but it's not like she's actively pursuing them as servants. ] You're...

[ she stumbles getting it out, frowning and looking away. ]

...you're my first.

[1week]

I'm so happy... I don't want to share you with anyone.

[...well maybe Kou would've been fine, but he's not here, so.]

[nightcalling]

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.

[ kou is... they'll get to the topic of kou when he shows up, if ever. right now, it's not really something to worry about. for now, she reaches out, ruffling lira's hair.

it's not a statement of affection. she doesn't... really do that. but she does at least feel enough to say: ]

...both friend and servant, huh.

[1week]

[She has been Ruffled. She's so happy.]

I've never been a servant before. But I like the friend part.

[Girlfriends should be friends, too. It only makes sense.]

[nightcalling]

That's. [ there's always something with this girl, isn't there. ] You realize you can't really become a servant more than once, right? Like, it's a one-time thing. It's like... Having a mother, or being born.

[ she's probably joking. is she? it's hard to tell with lira. ]

[1week]

[...Squints.]

It's not like having a mother because that would be weird.

[nightcalling]

[ oho? lira-chan doesn't want things to get weird, huh? too late. things got weird the moment you became nazuna's servant. ]

It kinda is when you think about it, though, isn't it? [ she gives a friendly nudge of her elbow, grinning wide. ] You know, biting is a way to get food and all, but... It's also how we make new vampires, right?

[ the grin gets a little more lascivious, just for a moment. ]

Reproduction. That's what biting is for our kind, Lira-chan.

[1week]

If you compare yourself to my mother I won't kiss you again.

[Very serious.]

[nightcalling]

Huh? Why? People kiss their mother goodbye before school, don't they?

[ wait. there's a more pressing issue at hand here. ]

-wait, you're the one that wants kisses in the first place! Don't act like you're threatening me with the embargo!

[1week]

Not the way we kissed! And you liked it too.

[Even though yes, she also wants kisses, she just doesn't want Weird ones.]

[nightcalling]

Did I? Maybe I just know my offspring is the cutest around.

[ yeah, she is absolutely going to harp on this. it's the only way she can get back in the lead position. ]

C'mere, sweetie. Give mama a widdle kiss~ [ and she even raises her hands like some bogeyman, making exaggerated puckering sounds in lira's direction. ]

[1week]

[Looks at her.

Starts walking to the door to the stairs down.]

[nightcalling]

Ohhhhh? No more kisses before she leaves? My little baby girl's all grown up~!

[ that cackle is the sound of someone who doesn't act a year past fifteen, despite any actual age concerns. ]

[1week]

[bye

...she will probably bug her later]

[nightcalling]

[ she won't have to look long. the next night, nazuna's out and about early, looking around for lira barely after the sun's over the horizon - not even dark yet. ]

[1week]

Nazuna-chan!

[Waves!! As if she needs to make herself easier to spot.]

[nightcalling]

[ yeah, it's kind of hard to miss the girl. for one, her sense of fashion would draw the eye to her already. for another thing...

well. it's kind of hard to miss the girl towering over everyone else. ]

Yo. [ she's... up on the telephone poles, of course. jamjar means that even if it's barely sunset, she doesn't have to give a shit if people spot her. ] So? How'd you enjoy your first night as a vampire, eh?

[1week]

It was great! I stayed up late and didn't get tired at all.

[the perks of vampirism...]

[nightcalling]

Nice, nice! C'mon, put her here!

[ and she raises her hand for a high five. sure, it's a little underwhelming, but it's a big first step, y'know? as dumb as it is to say, she's kind of proud of the big gal. ]
