Funny story, that! Have you ever heard of 'The Terror of London'?

-it's easy enough to shift the stuff... Jean would find a seemingly unblemished lass with white hair and red eyes-

Oh, hello hello.

Eh, not really.

I might be caught up on Earth culture for the... most part. But it's all still foreign to me.

-The lass can see that a teenage girl in a suit is the one that moved the wreckage.-

"...Oh, uh... Hey..."

-...'Terror of London'...?-

"I haven't heard of it..."

-She's from the U.S. though, so...-

Then you'd both be as surprised as I was to find that he's strong enough to pick up and hurl a phone booth like it were a shot put!

-sits up-

Vampires, I swear. They're different everywhere you go!

Oh believe me, I know.

Y'know, I've come across alien vampires? No kidding, vampirism isn't species-specific.

You just need an intelligence index comparable to humans.

-Wait, wait, wait what?!-

"You're saying a vampire threw you and the phone booth?!"

-...She knows this place is weird, but she still can't help but get surprised.-

-And then she looks over at Xenos.-

"Geez... Alien vampires just make things even more weird..."

-And now Jean's imagining something like alien vampire pirate robot ninjas or something.

Quelle horreur!

-extricates herself from the wreckage-

Yes, a vampire indeed! It was no Dracula, sadly, but it was a vampire all the same. But where are my manners? My nom de guerre is Graves.

Well, nice to meet you Graves.

Heh, I like your name. You probably hunt vampires, right? That's the whole bit.

Putting them back in the grave where they belong? Eh, Graves?

Simply ridiculous, if you don't mind me saying so! That would be like naming you 'Xeno', on account of the fact that you look like a space alien!

Well have I got news for you.

Because my name is actually Xenos by coincidence.

But that's only because in my home planet's tongue, Xenos means Zenith.

-Yeah... She was just gonna let Xenos explain that...-

-And then she gets a little surprised by Graves asking her that.-

"Uh..."

-She was before she started training... It's not like she just wants to jump to fighting anytime though...-

"...I, uh... recently started training in combat."

Well, my name is Graves and I put vampires in their graves. Meanwhile, he is Xenos and he is an Xeno. Your name is Dove, so if you were a pacifist... it would go from 'coincidence' to 'important thing!'

I mean sure, from your perspective... listen, I didn't choose the name the Romans gave foreigners in general.

Nor did Ahxenites... in fact we were there before you guys on that word.

We literally visited Ancient Egypt as tourists! That's how before you we are on the word Xenos.

-Ah... That's right. The symbolism of the dove is peace.-

-She's thought about it some. It's a very nice bit of symbolism for the nice bird.-

"...If it means anything, I don't really want to have to fight.."

-...Sort of. At the same time she's absolutely craving that level of importance that you get from being a hero.-

-...Yeah, Xenos has a point.-

"Y-Yeah... It just seems like it's a funny coincidence is all..."

Ah-ah, hold on! Was it Ptolemaic Egypt?

No, we were there before those fake Egyptians came around from Greece.

I think the history books describe it as like... Old Kingdom? We stuck around watching for a while, as tourists rotated through.

But when the culture revolution hit us back home from those returning tourists, we stopped travelling space. Something the first Pharaoh of Ahxen put into place.

Kinda think it was to stop any attempt at a different fad kicking him out of power.

But that was thousands of years ago. I grew up in the Ancient Egypt-Inspired culture that we got.

Our architecture, our clothes, almost everything had to have an Egyptian flair.

I mean- look at these shoulder pads, I think they're supposed to look like scarabs. You know what Ahxen doesn't have? Scarabs.

I just want you to know that there's better things to do in life than joining the army!

-Xenos- If I was an anthropologist I would probably have a field day with that.

Well, if you want Archaeology, Ahxen's got plenty of ruins. The entire planet's a ruin, and because we were damn good at keeping records, the records survived.

I'm the last example of my species.
