A New Vampire

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"Tonight is the full moon - the perfect night to come back to life. I have risen after 500 years of slumber."

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"I will take back the soul of my beloved Elizabeth and execute vengeance upon those who have sealed me away!"

 **Claudine:**Whew...

 **Karen:**Oooh, that was great!

 **Junna:**Well done, Saijo-san.

 **Claudine:**How did you find my vampire? I was rehearsing for "Dazzling Vampire".

 **Karen:**Great! It was amazing! I've never seen anything like it!

 **Karen:**And your outfit looks fantastic, too!

 **Claudine:**I know, right? Class B made it, so I tried it on.

 **Junna:**It is...a bit over-the-top, though... Almost like something a vampire wouldn't wear.

 **Claudine:**Heh heh. It IS the story of a vampire who came back to life in the modern day. I think this outfit is only fitting.

 **Junna:**I guess it is. Besides, it's perfect for you.

 **Claudine:**Hehe, merci!

 **Claudine:**If you ask me, I think all the vampire costumes are always so dar.

 **Claudine:**Always black and plain, whether in the movies or on stage. Definitely not my style...

 **Claudine:**I've designed this outfit to get rid of that image.

 **Karen:**Huh? Clau-chan, you designed it?

 **Junna:**She oversaw everything from the costumes to the script and the stage effects.

 **Karen:**Wow, really? You're really motivated!

 **Junna:**Are you gonna be okay, though?

 **Claudine:**...? What do you mean?

 **Junna:**Isurugi-san told me horror is not exactly your favorite genre...

 **Claudine:**Ahh. That only applies to Japanese horror. I don't mind gothic horror at all.

 **Claudine:**Besides, I don't have time to be scared of anything.

**Karen & Junna:**Huh?

 **Maya:**Oh my, is that the costume for "Dazzling Vampire"?

 **Maya:**Look at the golden embroidery here... Heh heh, it's a very beautiful outfit.

 **Claudine:**Mm. Thank you.

 **Maya:**I'm curious how your play will go, Saijo-san.

 **Claudine:**You can look forward to it. I'll make sure I suck every last drop of blood from the heroine's neck. Yours.

 **Junna:**Ooh... I see. Now I get it.

 **Karen:**What does she mean?

 **Maya:**I was surprised when I read your script, Saijo-san.

 **Maya:**To think you'd adapt Elizabeth, the original heroine of the story, into such a character.

 **Karen:**Huh? Adapted how?

 **Claudine:**You'll understand when you see the play!

 **Claudine:**Maya Tendo, will you be good enough to play that role?

 **Maya:**The more difficult the role is, the more I enjoy it. That's what a Stage Girl is all about.

 **Claudine:**Heh heh, you're right.

 **Claudine:**"Well then, Elizabeth..."

 **Claudine:**"I shall lead you to my stage!"

"Tonight is the full moon, the perfect night to come back to life. I have risen after 500 years of slumber."

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"I will take back the soul of my beloved Elizabeth and execute vengeance upon those who have sealed me away!"

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"This country called Japan is despicable. Tall stone towers everywhere, and black cords that hang over one's head..."

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"And I despise those bright lights that shine all night long. If those filthy humans think they rule over darkness..."

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"...This is not the time to let my anger get the better of me. I have to find who has Elizabeth's soul!"

 **Claudine:**"...Ooh! I can feel it! It's so close!"

***"...Whoa, really? And then, what happened?"***

***"...!"***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"My Elizabeth. I have waited long for this day."

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"You have lost all memories of your previous life. I'm the first and the most supreme vampire..."

***"Huh? A vampire? Are you, like, kidding me or something? I totes know who you are!"***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"...T-Totes...? A-Anyway... It seems you remember me."

***"Like, totally! Everybody knows vampires."***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"Everybody? ...Hah hah, I see. My fame precedes me."

***"Look, it's even trending now! Look at this."***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"What is this silver tablet?"

***"Huh? You don't even know what a smartphone is? #outoftheloop, much?"***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"I see, a smartphone... It says here: 'Found a casket underground and tried sleeping in it lol'."

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"...! Wait! The casket in the picture is MY casket!"

***"Duh, maybe next time try putting a lock on it! Don't complain people want to visit your casket. It's famous, you know?"***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"How dare they desecrate my repose! I will never forgive them!"

***\*chatter\****

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"Ack, so many humans!"

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"Listen, humans! I have awakened after 500 years of slumber. I am a vampire! You will all become my subjects...!"

***\*snap snap snap\****

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"Ngh! What is this light!? Stop shining it on me!"

***"Whoa! Is that an actual vampire? I gotta post this!"***

***"This is so cool! I'm gonna tweet about it!"***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"Ngh... That stake! You already know all my weaknesses, filthy humans!"

***"Oh, that's just a selfie-stick..."***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
""Two bowls of ramen! Extra soup and extra garlic, please!"

***"Hah! Are you really gonna eat that? It has garlic in it, you know?"***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"Silence! How am I supposed to resist this smell?"

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"I cannot stand these modern humans! They have no shame and no morals! How dare they gather around me instead of scattering away in fear..."

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"I won't allow it! This is not how a vampire should be treated!"

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"......"

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"...Or am I the one at fault here?"

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"...I couldn't keep up with the times. I don't fit anywhere."

***"Can you just stop looking all mopey?"***

***"Don't worry about it. Trends come and go. Everyone's gonna be over vampires by, like, tomorrow."***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"...That would be humiliating."

***"Like I said, don't worry about it!"***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"...You're right. It's not natural for a vampire to be swayed by such ephemeral values."

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"Thank you, Elizabeth. You may look different, but your soul is still as pure as ever."

***"Huh? Are you crying? You've gotta be kidding me!"***

 **Claudine:****(As Vampire)**
"I-I am not! It's the garlic...!"

The next day...

 **Claudine:**Great work, everyone!

 **Claudine:**Did you enjoy my sad vampire who awoke during the modern day?

 **Junna:**Erm...

 **Junna:**......

 **Junna:**That... That was an unconventional vampire, to say the least.

 **Karen:**It was, wasn't it! I never expected it to end like that!

 **Claudine:**Merci!

 **Maya:**Good job, everyone.

 **Claudine:**You did well, Maya Tendo.

 **Claudine:**To think you'd pull off a modern Elizabeth.

 **Junna:**I was quite surprised as well. I never knew you could play those kind of characters as well.

 **Maya:**Heh heh...

 **Maya:**"Like, that was so totally cool, right? I never knew either."

 **Karen:**Yes! Totally cool!

 **Claudine:**......

 **Claudine:**......

 **Claudine:**No, no, no!

**Karen & Maya:**Huh?

 **Claudine:**This is all wrong!

 **Maya:**What is? Are you talking about the way I played Eliza, or the way I interpreted the lines?

 **Claudine:**No, those were perfect!

 **Claudine:**That's exactly what's wrong...!

 **Claudine:**I made Eliza speak like that because you'd be playing her...!

 **Maya:**"So, like, what are you saying, huh? I'm clueless here."

 **Claudine:**...! Ngh, no, no!

 **Claudine:**That...!

 **Claudine:**That's not who Maya Tendo is!

 **Karen:**Clau-chan...?

 **Karen:**I wonder what's got into her...

 **Maya:**"Like, I don't know. Whatever!"

 **Junna:**Saijo-san, I'm starting to see what she meant now...

 **Claudine:**You want to know what the next play will be about? Heh heh, you'll have to see for yourself!

 **Claudine:**Vampires are quintessential horror characters. Don't you think it'd be a wasted chance not to spice them up a bit?

 **Claudine:**That's why I came up with the idea of placing one in modern day.

 **Claudine:**I wasn't worried about it, though. Vampires are so charming that no matter the stage or time period, people still find them interesting.
