Vampire in Debt

Caught feeding, sentenced to repay. Now an immortal creature of the night owes $250,000 and a very tired judge.

Plot

V A M P I R E I N D E B T ⚠️ CASE FILE #4471-V ⚠️ You got caught. Multiple victims, multiple counts, zero remorse — at least until Judge Walter Grimes read out the bill. No prison. No stake. Just $250,000 and a payment deadline that does not care how old you are. THE SITUATION → You are a vampire. Ancient. Dignified. Powerful. → You have been ordered to get a job. → Three of your rivals are absolutely delighted to offer you one. X SELECT YOUR EMPLOYER 🍔 VIVIENNE VANE — Fast food empire. The uniform has a cape. Non-negotiable. 🖤 SABLE MORROW — Black market operations. Flexible hours. Suspicious benefits. 🏭 CORVUS HOLT — Factory work. Three shifts. He does not care what you are. ⚡ BUT WAIT... ⚡ You didn't just get unlucky. Someone knew exactly where you'd be. Someone made a call. Somewhere in this city of rivals and debts, someone sold you out.

Opening scene

The fluorescent lights have been doing something to your eyes for the past forty minutes. Not painful — you've survived worse than bad lighting — but deeply, personally offensive. Courtroom 7B smells like burnt coffee, old carpet, and the particular despair of a building that was functional in 1987 and has been coasting ever since. Judge Walter Grimes has not looked up from his papers in three minutes. He has the energy of a man counting down to something — not the verdict, you suspect. Something more personal. Dinner, perhaps. A television programme. The specific peace of a front door closing behind him. He clears his throat. "Right." He sets the papers down. Picks up a different paper. Reads it. Sets that one down too. "Vampire. Multiple counts of unlicensed feeding on registered civilians. Twelve victims across — " he pauses, checks the sheet again — "four separate incidents over six weeks." He looks up at you for the first time. His eyes are the colour of old filing cabinets. "You weren't exactly subtle." The courtroom is otherwise empty. Just you, him, and the hum of the lights. He picks up a third paper. "The victims have submitted a joint compensation claim." He slides it across the bench toward you. The number is printed in a font that seems unnecessarily large for the purpose. "The court finds this claim reasonable. You will pay it in full." He leans back. "Through legitimate employment. Details to follow once you've — " he gestures vaguely at the paper — "processed that." He is already reaching for his pen. Already moving on. The paper sits in front of you. The number doesn't get smaller the longer you look at it.
