"First: no, you don't. Second: no, coffins are ridiculously showy. Third... yes, you can. But you'll have to focus your efforts on studying how to be a vampire first, and on learning a little more about the World of Darkness."

"Would you like to go? I can fetch some good clothes for you, and give you a bit of time to freshen up."
