3nd revision; anonymous text

Where I come from, most cultures have their own takes on the otherwordly, the supernatural. As shown in this entry, many of you are familiar with the lore of your world and even have had your own encounters with them.

Let me ask you this, to supplement the previous question: What creatures or supernatural beings of your world are generally portrayed in a negative light? Of those, do any have a particular fascination with blood?

Discuss as you will.

[Video Filtered to the Forensics Unit a short while later:]
Ladies, gents, I hope you're in the mood for work. We have another body.

Another body? Where?

[and there she goes, getting up out of that hospital bed and packing her things. She's really only in there because the nurses made her - so now she has a reason to leave! Good thing Castle is out getting coffee downstairs or else he would probably make her stay.]

Should you be leaving the hospital so soon, Ms. Beckett?

[Pause.] Kate.

[She's gonna give him a look at that Ms. Beckett and then let up when he corrects himself.]

One good thing about turning native: no lasting physical effects. They just wanted me to stay here for good measure.

Where is the body?

I gather nothing I say will make you change your mind on this.

[It's true that there aren't any physical injuries...] The border of Freyr and Freya districts. There's a small alleyway just off the main street.

You'd be right.

I'm on my way. Is anyone else there?

Not yet, but I expect they will arrive soon enough. Conan, especially, is incredibly diligent about the murder cases.

The majority of supernatural beings are considered negatively, by humans at least. Of those with any particular association with blood, the vampire is most well known and most fitting.

That statement was regarding the situation of your own world, yes?

Are there no other, lesser known beings associated with it?

Where I come from, the supernatural is a sham. [How blunt, Sebastian.] Gorey stories mothers tell the less curious children to get them to behave. [He pauses, though, looking thoughtful for a moment.]

More often than not, it turns out to be an animal. I know my predators and I'd wager all of 'em have a fascination with blood.

[Oh, it's the Erik look-alike again...Moran, wasn't it?]

If the supernatural did not exist in your world, has coming to the city changed your perspective?

Some humans are just as drawn to bloodshed, though I find it interesting that animals were at the forefront of your mind when you answered my question. Why is that?

Negatively, as a rule, if they are seen as anything other than mere fiction. However, I believe some cultures have a bit of a fixation on vampires for some strange reason. Those are known to like blood, and some demons and were-creatures. But, it can depend upon the exact culture involved.

Vampires seem to be the most commonly associated with blood, yes.

What of the demons and were creatures of your world?

Some are predators, and some have a taste for human flesh. Depending on the variety, I suppose that there would be some with a taste for blood specifically. Some demons are more or less like vampires or humans with fangs. It allows them to drink like vampires, and they are a depraved, twisted group as a rule.

Oh, there was also the old goat sucker myths in mexico. Chupacabra or something like that. I think it was supposed to like blood too.

So demons are just as likely to drink blood as vampires? You seem very familiar with their properties. Are they that common in your world or is it simply personal interest?

The Chupacabra is one I haven't heard of and will also be looking into.

Demons? They're creatures of sin and vice. It does not take much to guess that they will do horrible things. If they have fangs, behaving like a vampire is pretty damned depraved. They're as likely to do other things than simply drink at the same time, just as a guess.

As for how common they are, hard to say really. I prefer to think of it as survival instincts myself. You have fun hunting down the chupacabra stories. I've heard some really weird ones.

Human blood?

The demons of religion, which I am most familiar with, are often depicted as simply seducing any believers from their faith. I do not remember drinking blood being one of their traits, though it does not surprise me.

Survival instincts as in you have encountered these demons before?

That would be correct. Though if you know of a being with a taste for other types of blood, I would be interested to hear it as well.

The supernatural hide in the shadows, just out of sight in my world. The unwary are their prey. [Of course, what that said about her wasn't good.] And, I think if your stories are like mine you are only really remembering the tales of the scriptures. Demons tempt people away from the god they oppose, but you tempt through vices and desires. They just like even more depraved ones, bored with human choices.

Vampirism is pretty extreme.

[The altered voice is articulate, but it's hard to tell what kind of person it might belong to.]

Regardless of what legends exist, I've only seen irrefutable proof of one kind of supernatural creature. It doesn't have any interest in blood. Why do you ask?

There are many oni in my world that eat humans. Don't know of many that only want the blood though.

Something happened?

[The more Samantha talks, the more Charles is convinced that she's had some experience with the demons. She's just unwilling to part the personal information yet.]

Extreme for the demons, I assume. Are there particular traits that might distinguish these extreme demons from the others?

[...This cannot bode well.]

Yes. Supernatural beings do exist. All of them are portrayed negatively; they're nothing more than mindless monsters whose purpose is to be killed.

One of them had a particular fascination for human blood. It fed off of it.

Have there been sightings of such a creature?

Oni? I am unfamiliar with the term.

You could say that. A native's body was found some time ago, drained of blood. The recent news about the fire creatures and the other Traveler's question about the supernatural reminded me of that incident.

[Well, yes, that would definitely be the case. She, however, was close to fully paranoid.]

No, it's extreme more by human standards. I'm not sure that I'm comfortable describing what I would consider extreme by demonic standards. They aren't remotely human in attitudes, and they care nothing for the pain they cause.
