+ something I've been looking to clear for some time, familially passed down curses tend to stick, can't really peel it off like gun to your shoe, you know?"

She absentmindedly tapped the mace equipped to her hip, seemingly so uses to wearing such heavy attire that it would be like being naked if she was in anything less.
"Oh I'm Abigail Van Helsing, I'm visiting from Europe, gonna try my hand at the Ritual, try to get+
"Is it like a one time payment thing? Or is it free for guests? You know, I gotta figure out the limits here."
Noticing the tilt of the Doormans head, the looking.
"Ah, you uhh..don't worry about these, kinda mandatory I keep them around, you know, in case of monsters?"

+ on her hip, she produced a rather archaic looking card, with no number, the only contact info a little hex lined name, "Van Helsing" ]
Abigail, by the way, you can call me however you wish, I'm not one for details.
Trust me, my grandfather and my father both tried and gave up on looking for a way to clear this hex. Father says Count Dracula cursed grandpa Abe with his dying breath, so I doubt such a powerful vampire would leave a less than intense curse upon the very soul of his enemies.

( He'd offer him a business card of his, digging it right out of the inside of his coat. )

"The inheritance comes with the job, can't just leave it behind either..it's really a sort of lifelong oath you take when you're five, at least that's what my father said.."
It's not like they have a choice, any attempt they make at not being a monster hunter just brings+
Ehhh, occasionally I'll get hired to capture something. Had a family worried about their teenage son who had recently been bitten by a werewolf, found the kid rolling in a mud pile in a forest.
The main downside Is I can't really make friends, both because of the curse,+
A whole mansion into a summer home huh? Well I hope you got a good deal off it then, but it's good to hear the nomad life style fits you.
I can see the dough making potential working as a traveling monster hunter. Kinda like pest control, just a whole lot bigger.
+ used to, the old Van Helsing manor, sold it to some Ixian tourists as a summer house. But you know, I prefer the nomad style, lets me work more freely, I get to see cool things.
Trust me, it doesn't smell as good as you think. Too many smells mixed together creates a concoction that would kill a vampire for standing near it.
