welcome to Eldritch Academy
In a world of myths and mysteries, the pinnacle of the magical academies exists. Eldritch Academy offers education to all ages and species but specializes in the study and training of one's innate mystical capabilities, often called Eldritch Energies, Powers, or Unknowns, but more formally known as their Talent. However, tensions run high with the nations only holding a fragile peace as the Talents that rival the epitomes of technology change the balance of power.
With the more recent uprising of evil Shades and introduction of combat-oriented programs into Talent-focused schools, nations grow more aggressive towards one another. The demand for resources grows, and skirmishes at the border of Arka and Mistere become more frequent. Monsters run into the nations from the Wildes, terrorizing villages and cities. The need for trained or in-training Hunters and Guardians has never been more urgent.

The Vamp Wolf | This was honestly a tricky ordeal, and Sharaku was hardly convinced he wanted to go through with it. Still, he supposed Mr. Hide and Seek Vampire would have an interest in something like this, as much as they apparently did not see eye to eye normally. Which frankly, was such a BS anyway, because to this day he wasn't even exactly sure what the guy's problem was, seeing as he was never given a proper explanation for it. Well, he wasn't necessarily angry anymore, but he'd still stand by the fact that he did not like the guy's methods when it came to handling disagreements and just simple differences in opinion that could be talked out. All it took was being willing to remain present in the situation and put some effort towards working it out....
ANYWAY
Hey
I know you're being busy giving me the silent treatment for something apparently, but I just wanted to let you know about something you might be interested in. Well, if you're willing to listen at least.

Ozaki was honestly surprised to be getting a text from Sharaku of all people. He hadn’t expected that the were-vampire would want to to talk to him of all people…. Frankly Ozaki had assumed that this was an outcome that Sharaku would prefer. Yet here he was reaching out. Why?
The vampire himself was currently hunched over some notes of his own, writing out various potential scenarios. Trying to figure out which one was best. There was no room for error… And he couldn’t go getting help from someone else… Though the more he was looking at this the more practical it would be if someone did have his back…
But in this matter, no. It had to be done by him. Just him… But by Dracula’s fangs was this hard to try and plan out all on his own.
He was far too busy to go off and do whatever Sharaku was off on about…
Then again… There was no way he was going to have everything ready by Friday anyways. Even with the use of hypnotism he couldn’t get the black smith to work that fast. And he didn’t even know what kind of weapon he should use any more anyways since his first idea would be woefully expensive.
It took Ozaki awhile to respond, him trying to muse what to say. He was curious why Sharaku of all people would be texting him. Plus, he felt it would be rude to simply not respond. He should at least get an idea of what the were-vampire was on about. Though what the hell was with that heart emoji?
What is it?
That sounded rude. He better fix that.
… …. …
Dots could be seen on Sharaku’s screen as Ozaki typed, deleted, then retyped, deleted, what he was trying to say to somehow retract the bluntness. Ultimately Ozaki, tired as he was, decided to give up. Sharaku could probably handle a little bluntless. That man was as blunt as a baseball bat to the face. The dots disappeared.

“No way. Really? Crazy.” Ozaki was talking to himself now in his room, looking entirely away from his written and sketched out plans. There was no way that he could get all of this done by Friday anyways. It would have to wait either another two weeks or he’d have to pick another window of opportunity. There were probably a few more.. But honestly that one felt like the best.
The vampire spun in his chair a few times.
Learning to fly on your own, learning to hunt on your own. Fitting in with vampiric culture, most which seemed predominated by old timey vampires with old fashioned sense of style, class, and ways of being. Potentially drinking tainted blood, potentially buying from a bad source that drugged their blood to make it addictive and thusly potentially making you a permanent customer of their’s even if you had only meant to go once for one reason or another.
Hiding from vampire hunters that were specialized in taking you down. And of course… Eventually figuring out how to hunt the hunters yourself. Because sometimes that was the only way to keep yourself safe. And more too of course.
Ozaki was debating what to say in response, feeling his sarcasm likely wouldn’t be read in a text. Which would probably be for the best. Sharaku seemed to be poking for information again.
Trying to figure out why he cared so much about those types of vampires… Ozaki was hesitant to reveal exactly why he did care. It wasn’t a period of his life that he was fond of talking about if he could avoid it.
He was a little surprised Sharaku hadn’t been able to divine his opinions on the subject from his emotions…. Then again… He supposed he had been rather volatile that day.
I’ve seen quite a few people struggle with vampirism.
Himself included.
It may have been easy for you. but it isn’t for evryone. *everyone Well. Maybe not easy… I really shouldn’t assume how you’ve had it… I mean you’ve had your hardships too of course.
GGggugggghhhhhhh. He shouldn’t have sent that.
Forget I said that.
Fuck.

Damn idiot. Ozaki thought as he saw Sharaku’s first text come through. Of course. Sharaku had been homeless for years, were as he had only been so for considerably less than that. He was right in that it was different though. Sharaku could go out into the sun without fear of burning into ash in under a minute. But still.
Sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything.
But are you saying you think someone’s out there capturing vampires and forcing them to a feral state?

Ozaki wondered if the Church of Purity might be behind this. Their public front was that they were an organization dedicated towards the protection of humanity. But underneath the hood was considerably more dark. They were downright bigots against anything that wasn’t human, and had pull in many governments and police operations that allowed them to get away with a lot of things they shouldn’t.
Having something like a drug that could force a vampire into a feral state seemed like the perfect recruitment tool for the unwitting masses. The families of those who had been killed would be angry, and eager to go to whatever lengths to avenge their family.
You know… He really should have put the pieces together before now that his father was amongst those that were always killers… But he’d just thought that… Well there was a more benign side to The Church. There really was. He’d just thought he’d pushed his father to “the dark side,” rather than him already being there.
What to say. What to say.
Sounds like something The Church of Purity might try to pull… Though maybe I’m jumping to conclusions there.
Their mission was to protect humans. Why would they use a tactic that would cause human fatalities?

He could go into explaining what the Church of Purity was without revealing that he had a personal connection to them. Indeed one of his arms still bore the mangled remains of one of the tattoos he’d gotten when he was seven. He'd had to claw at it pretty much immediately upon becoming a vampire. The one on his left was no longer there due to the fact that when the unicorn had healed his arm, it healed it completely anew. No scars, no burn marks, no tattoos. Nothing. It was honestly a little weird… Though he supposed it would technically be weirder of the unicorn had been able to heal it with all of those things intact.
Maybe. They’re the type to fabricate evidence if it means getting a certain target… They’re very persistent hunters in anything of the genre of inhuman. Quite a few of them do specialize in vampire and demon hunting.
Again I might just be making baseless assumptions- they’re just my first guess when it comes to something like this. But I can’t imagine they’d do something that might risk human life.
They should do something. Then again. He didn’t necessarily have to do it with Sharaku. But it sounded like the man already had some leads. It might be beneficial to maybe work together on this…. Though likely really really annoying. Ozaki was a little hesitant to bring up such an idea at this juncture. Did Sharaku really want him along? Why else would he even be talking to him about this though? Sharaku really wasn't the type for idle chit chat.

True enough… I supposed if you picked the right time and place, and this drug worked rapidly enough, They could avoid human fatalities that way.
Vampires were a bit harder to drug than some. Their blood moved at a slow rate, so unless it was a magical cocktail you were injecting them with that did not rely on the speed of the heart to move the effect, it could take awhile. Unless you hit them in the right place. The neck was the best option for drugs that effected the brain.
You could theoretically go right for stabbing it into the brain stem as well… Though a drug would bound to have a bit of a different effect if it were injected there rather than into the blood stream near it. Depended on what you used.
One could avoid human fatalities that way. You got any leads on where some of these vampires might be?
For one, if they weren’t completely descended into madness Ozaki would like to help them. On another point, if there was anything he could take from knowing what kind of drug was being used on them, it might help them narrow down who was behind this. A small sample of their blood might be enough for his talent to analyze it... Though it would be risky. His talent could help analyze the drug's components and its precise effects. But it bore the risk of the fact he had to actually experience the effects of the material. If it were the type that even a small amount could make you loose your mind, it would be too late by the time his talent got ahold of that knowledge.
He needed to know more before committing to such an idea.

Shady people huh? … Ozaki knew a few of those. Indeed a few of them had managed to tail him to his new place today. He had tried to shake them, buuut. They were different ones than before. Far more effective. They must have a talent related to tracking. This would cause Ozaki more alarm, but at this point he was mostly certain that they weren’t going to harm him.
He’d asked them by this point what they wanted, and it was to make sure he didn’t do anything to get himself killed in the pursuit of Yuuto.
They were nearby undoubtedly, if he tried he could likely call out to them and ask them something. But would a vampire gang really have anything to do with any of this mess? If anything they might have a few of their members having felt the effect of this drug. From the sound of it it was temporary, so that was a relief there at least.
You’re telling me. At least you don’t have one or two of them tailing you at any given moment.
He could say that given he’d already been an idiot earlier and revealed that bit while high.
Not that I think The Bloods are drugging vampires… Wouldn’t make any sense. And I guess a bit of that drug might be useful. Just to see if there's anything that might point to its origin.
Ozaki got up from his chair walked out into the hallway. Given that his own room lacked windows (Of course) he had to go out into the den in order to peek out of one of the apartment’s windows, which were laden heavy with thick curtains. His new pursuers were much better at hiding, making it harder for Ozaki to be certain whether he had actually evaded pursuit. A tracking talent usually had a limit on range, or you needed something that belongs person in order to keep a beat on them. But there were all sorts of conditions that could be the case for such a thing.
At this point Ozaki could not afford to be running about and hiding when there were more important things to be doing. So they knew were he lived. He’d be fine… So long as he didn’t invite them in it didn’t matter what they knew.
Ozaki put on his trench coat and ensured that everything was in the pockets that he might need.
I think the sewers might be an option for any vampire trying to hide. Not a pleasant one… But functional.
They were dark enough, even if you did have to be careful with the occasional opened manhole or sewer grate. And rats. And the smell. Oh by Dracula’s fangs the smell. Anywhere else though?
Ozaki was reaching into the fridge as he thought, pulling out a lunch box with a filled blood bag. The fridge was at the perfect temperature to store the blood for as long as it could remain fresh. He pulled out a few ice packs from the freezer, and put them into the lunch box, pulling out the blood bag and putting it on the counter.
He’d need more blood than this potentially if there were residual effects from the drug or they had been hiding long enough to make it difficult… There were perks to feeding a blood devil on a regular basis when it came to a talent like his. With the addition of blood devil venom to his veritable arsenal of drugs… Lets just say the implications of both the ability to multiply blood tenfold as well as the ability to convert the fluid into anything your talent had gotten adequate taste of was a little insane.
The combination was one his boss had very much been firm on him keeping under wraps.
