"I'll have to ask, then," said Yasmin.  "Do your kind also have to eat Meat?"

John scooted over.

"...She's good at getting under your skin," he observed.  "Touchy subjects?"

"Nah, but my neighbour does. He's a Jikininki," Yumi said. "And set up the cafe and it's network to help."

"A bit, yeah," Garnet said.

17:31, Today: Yasmin rolled 8 using 1d20+2 ((6)).

"Oh, nice," said Yasmin.  "Um, what's a Jikininki?"

"She's baiting you," said John.  "Maybe ignore her for now.  Dragons are cooler than vampires, anyway."

"A type of human eating spirit from Japan mostly," Yumi said.

"Thanks. So, um, are you doing anything later?" Garnet asked.

"I didn't have any major plans," said John.  Then stopped, processing what she said.

"...what did you have in mind?" he managed.

"Oh, interesting!" said Yasmin.  "I wonder if we're distant cousins?"

"I don't really know. I'm not well versed on monsters outside of Japan," Yumi said.

"A date or something?" Garnet asked.

"Maybe I'll ask," said Yasmin.  "...probably not, but hey, it's possible."

That clearly took him off guard.  He swallowed, but--

"Uh, yes," he said.  "Absolutely.  Let's do that.  What do you want to do for it?"

"I can take you there after class," Yumi said.

"I'm new here. I don't know what's good. I'll let you pick," Garnet said.

"That would be great, thanks!" said Yasmin.

"Uh, we could go get something to eat," said John.  "That's usually a good start."

"Don't worry about it," Yumi said.

"Sure, what's good here?" Garnet asked.

"...I wonder how many other students will have that kind of requirement?" Yasmin wondered.  It surely wasn't that common.  There were too many humans on the planet still!

"Uh, let's see," said John.  "I know where there's a really good Mexican place..."

"Probably not any. There aren't many that need to, but lots that could," Yumi said.

"That sounds good," Garnet said.

"That's probably better," said Yasmin.  "There's only so much Meat to go around, and my family is six people anyway..."
