Calcifer's blade came away red.

The lion roared in pain and in surprise. It looked at Calcifer in disbelief, and hesitated to make another move.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Begone," Calcifer said to it. "Or your soul will be mine."

[Knight of Iron she/they]

The lion scattered down the hallway and down the stairs in fright, betraying its deep-seated desire to remain alive.

Kreshnik poked his head out. "It's gone?"

Pieces of paper? Why?

Hi, Kreshnik. What are you? I'm a phoenix.

"Oh, I see. Anyways, do you have a personal castle somewhere we can weather the apocalypse in?"

"Probably in ruin," Kreshnik agreed. "Hopefully my friends are alive. But no matter! Someone said something about a place called a 'Costco'?"

"It's a big store. I don't think it's very fortifiable- there's lots of back doors. I guess we could block them with shelves. Or massive amounts of food."

"Um... Didn't Mr. lion killer over there say that Costco's are evil or something, and that we should go to IKEA instead?"

Uh, quick question.

Do the different mythological gods exist now too, or what?

It's in the OP. No gods.

Though, I consider entering a character with an artifact that belonged to a Norse goddess. I'm not sure if that's fine.

"Well, if you ever need to run from me, just enter someone's house. Literally, if someone has claim over the property as their proper abode, I can't come in unless I'm expressly invited." His smile faltered. "Sucks, really."

"Just as long as we get away from spooky monsters."

My bad.

"Because it's a vital, life-supporting substance. I can hypothetically subsist off of other things, but blood is the easiest and most common."

Other things? Like what? Can you eat chocolate? What does it taste like?

"I... can eat chocolate, but I'll die without blood. Chocolate is kinda creamy and sweet, I guess."

“I think I can suck out people’s life force,” he said, “I can feed off of emotions but that doesn’t really sustain me. It’s really just mainly blood.”

[Condensation she/her]

Oh, okay. Which do you like better, chocolate or blood?

“You know, they actually go great together. The blood acts as a coppery spice to the cooler chocolate undertones.”
