>"Are there any other vampires around you guys know of? All I knew about was the Scarlet Devil. We...kinda don't get involved with those sorts, usually, unless they make the news."

>"Only one, and she's the heaviest sleeper this side of Sloth." Sabine says with a grin. "And a squatter on top of it. 'pparantly she'd been crashing in the Keep for a while before we woke up."
>"And is still doing so." Celes adds. "She was asleep in her coffin when we awoke, and is still asleep now."

>"Huh. Know anything about her?"

>"Terrible fashion sense." Sabine replies. "I think she's colorblind."
>As usual, Celes is more informative. "Most of what we know of her comes from one of her potential victims. When we awoke, Nyx found a youkai singer chained to the wall of our library. Evidently she had been taken captive by this vampire, who said she would save Hoshi for later, after her nap. She seems to be quite young, and Hoshi's description of her personality supports this. We estimate her to be mentally the equivalent of a human teenager. Hoshi claimed that she seemed largely harmless, and I know that may be hard to believe, given the circumstances, but as the vampire has yet to awaken, we can't confirm this ourselves yet. The Countess, however, has confirmed that she is much weaker than either the Countess or the Scarlet Devil. We don't anticipate much trouble from her when she awakes, if she is even apt to cause any."
>"And I suppose I would be remissed if I did not mention Rei." Celes says after a moment. "She is a fledgling vampire who has come to stay with us quite recently."

>The steward seems a bit uncomfortable. "Rei's story is.... somewhat complicated."
>You have, but the Kurumi in question is a White Wolf tengu who works at a brewery. You know of her through Momiji; apparently the two are friends.

>Ranka giggles. "But it's good to get a little off-track now and then. It keeps things interesting. Anyway, Honoka took up vampire fighting for a while after that.... Wait, did I say that already?"

>Ranka grins. "Yup! Needed it, too, back then. Much as I love Honoka, she needed to do her thing and I needed to do mine."
>"Instead of her." Sabine quips to no one in particular.
>The wind spirit replies easily, "Yeah, that came later. Sometimes I just have to shed the flesh and be one with the wind."

>To your knowledge, there is a kind of fish that is capable of jumping out of the water to such heights it is named 'flying fish' by humans. You think there are some that also have pseudo-wing like structures, but you're less sure on that point. Icthyology is not your strong point, after all.
>This being Gensokyo, Ranka could easily be referring to a kind of fish youkai that's prone to flight. And while you don't know too many of those, there is one that springs immediately to mind. Iku Nagae, the oarfish youkai whom Aya encountered during the 'Tenshi' incident a few years ago. Reportedly, Iku's responsibilities include floating through the skies and monitoring the atmosphere of Gensokyo. Someone like Ranka, who evidently spends a great deal of time flying aimlessly around, could easily have spotted Iku on one of her flights.
