--- Quote ---Ash nodded and said, "Or whatever. I mean, becoming a vampire doesn't mean your instantly wealthy. You gotta build up to that."
She clapped her hands together and said, "But beyond that. We need to go hire a whore to donate a pint at least, or you're not going to be able to function soon."

"Uh, I know that myself, this thirst is getting annoying" she stated, feeling instinctively that without going blood for long would be a bad thing. At this point she did not care about feeding on women, she needed her blood fix. Soon.

Minato finished the last of his tea and set his cup down; Then proceeded to stand before reaching into his jacket, pulling out a book that was clearly too large to fit in any jacket pocket.
"This is a guidebook a now very rich man wrote for people who land in this city, it has all the basic information on the city, comes with a faction map, and has survival tips for those who intend to do anything but hide in a basement."
The cover of the book Minato set in front of Jojo had no author's name printed, only the name of the book and a simple phrase that likely made up the best survival tip in the entire book.
DON'T PANIC
Traveler's Guide to The Nexus.
"Read the first two chapters, that should get you up to speed."
Minato proceeded to the door.
"As I was saying before, the dorm exists in various places but becomes fixed to one point momentarily when people attempt to enter or exit."
Minato placed his hand on the doorknob.
"The question now is what part of the city do you want to get to?"

"Hide in a basement? I'm as much a warrior as a scientist" JoJo grumbled at the suggestion JoJo grumbled at the suggestion. He made to skim through the guide regardless, but at noticing the mention of vampires, he perked up and couldn't help but interjecting. "Vampires? To think they are even in this world. Okay, young man, spirit me away some near their district, a hunter is needed even in this world. Time to follow my grandfather's footsteps!"
Brahmastra:
Karna moved through the sewers at a steady walking pace, bugs and insects and gods-know-what-else clad the walls of the disgusting sewers. His eyes were not affected by the non-existent lightning, but sadly he couldn't do much about the smell.
It did not take him long to find the chamber that the Magus had promised to meet with him, lead there by the spell of prana on the air.
Before him stood the blue-haired Magus who's familiars surveyed the city. He looked somewhat frightened, perhaps having perceived Karna's threat a bit too seriously.
"I apologize for the wait, Magus, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you would compromise your safety to take to heart my request. You show great courage for merely appearing. Such a feeling brings me joy."
Karna was entirely genuine in his words, for he could never lie. The fact that a Magus who would not even meet go into the city by himself to scout around would come face to face with a being like himself was a feat of great courage, and Karna felt the need to praise him accordingly.

Despite his resignation Zolgen refused to let fear dictate his actions. He shall act with the pride and confidence that one with his experience and skill should.
"I am afraid I cannot say I feel the same joy as you," Zolgen walked forward, his insects remaining behind. "You wish to know what my insects where doing correct? I am merely observing the elements of this city. There are many dangers, many powerful entities and groups that should not be in the same place at the same time." He stopped only a few steps away from Karna.
Looking directly at the fabled saint of generosity he continued speaking. "All I simply want is to observe. Maybe find something that can interest these old bones. Or perhaps, if the situation arises, stop this powder keg from exploding."
"Are my reasons enough to satisfy you?" He concluded. His words held no falsehoods, Zolgen was one who understands that despite being a man drenched in deceit there is a time for truth. When one of the greatest Heroic Spirits known to human history stands in front of you demanding an answer such not a time to lie.
Brahmastra:
"So you observe phenomena simply for the sake of it? Ridiculous. You would not live as long as you have if you simply looked on for the sake of looking. Humans do not live merely to live, Magus. They live to feel joy, take pleasure in things and overcome great burdens. You desire all three of those, Magus, you do simply not speak of those desires."
Karna did not care for lies. The barriers of the human mind to protect itself. Such walls did not exist to his eyes. Every person with a human mind Karna looked upon had all of their mind bared and their lies exposed.
For that reason, Karna could see the noble intentions that this Magus, whom his eyes applied the name "Zolgen" to as he looked through his mind.
"No, you have a desire far greater than those of petty curiosity. Tell me, Zolgen, and be honest with yourself. What do you truly desire to find the means for in your search of this curious city?"
If Zolgen truly showed the ability to be honest with his desires in the face of a being so superior to himself, he deserved reconciliation. Reconciliation that Karna would gladly give him.

Zolgen looked at the man in front of him. Perhaps once he did have a greater desire. Perhaps when he was young he wished to create a utopia for human to thrive. This man in front of him could apparently see such a thing. The dream he once had, Karna still saw within him.
Zolgen sighed, “Tell me Karna, do not all humans have dreams that are beyond them? Beyond humanity? Beyond possibility?”
He looked up at the ceiling reminiscing. “I am no exception to that.”
He remembered, he helped create and worked to obtain the grail at first to create a utopia, and then after Justica became the core of the system he dedicated himself to obtaining it, not only to just achieve his dream but also to allow her dream of having the Heaven’s Feel be completed once again.
“I once dreamed of creating a Utopia, a place where the beauty of humanity could flourish in peace, where all could be happy.” Closing his eyes he continued, “I helped develop the means to do so, a powerful ritual, but there were unintended results. It became a bloody conflict between me and my comrades, we fought, trying to end one another, all having different intentions for the ritual.”
“By the fourth attempt to complete the ritual it had been corrupted by All the Evils of the World, Angra Mainyu. And so I lost hope in my dream and worked to stop its reincarnation, too prevent the extinction of humanity. I was successful in the fifth, and with it lost all chance to achieve my dream.”
Zolgen once again looked at the man in front of him, “So perhaps what you say is true, perhaps on some level I am trying to find a way to achieve my goal in this city, hoping I will find someone or something that has the power to help me achieve it. But even if that is the case, hope in my dream as long since faded.”
