Interviewer (V-Diffusion): Greetings, Hadrian Von Kopek. It's a pleasure to have you with us today. Could you start by telling our readers a little about your background and how you came to manage the Bank SUK?
Hadrian Von Kopek: Ah, the pleasure is mine, my appetizing host. Ho! Ho! Ho! You see, I hail from a lineage of Austrian nobles. Our wealth grew exponentially during the 18th century, as I strategically acquired my competitors' assets. When I became immortal, I saw our fellows in dire need of proper financial services. Thus, the Bank SUK was born, providing indispensable financial services to our nocturnal society, with the best and only official vampiric loan services on the market!
Interviewer (V-Diffusion): Fascinating. What differentiates vampire bank services from classical ones for humans?
Hadrian Von Kopek: It's quite simple, really. Vampires, like anyone else, have financial needs, but they are often more... unique. We require discretion, flexibility, and sometimes a little "bite" in our transactions. Ho! Ho! Ho! The Bank SUK meets these needs impeccably, making us indispensable to our clients. Plus, monopolies do have their advantages... for me, indeed. Ho! Ho! Ho!
Interviewer (V-Diffusion): Indeed they do. Your previous love for fine cuisine was well-known. Isn't it a big loss since you became a vampire?
Hadrian Von Kopek: Ah, my dear interviewer, becoming a vampire doesn't mean giving up the finer things in life, it just means adapting. While I may no longer savor earthly delicacies, the variety in human blood is quite remarkable. Different blood types, ages, and even emotional states offer a wide range of flavors. A proper Blood Bar, equipped with the finest tools and techniques, can alter and flavor human blood to create an endless array of culinary delights Ho! Ho! Ho! From a robust, full-bodied vintage to a delicate, sweet infusion, the possibilities are as vast as they are delectable! (Licking his mouth)
Interviewer (V-Diffusion): Your physical appearance and style are quite distinctive. And the reverse growth of your teeth is sometimes the mockery of vampiric society. What would you say about that?
Hadrian Von Kopek: How dare you bring up such a personal matter! Do you forget to whom you are speaking? I am the Baron Hadrian Von Kopek! A noble of the highest order! My accomplishments and power far surpass any trivial mockery about my teeth! Let it be known that such insolence will not be tolerated. No one, and I mean no one, should ever mention my teeth again. Excuse yourself here and now, or I'll be your demise!
Interviewer (V-Diffusion): My deepest apologies, Baron. I meant no disrespect... Let's move on to the next question. How important is it to keep the vampiric society in the shadows?
Hadrian Von Kopek: Apology accepted, but you owe me a dinner. Now, regarding the necessity of keeping our vampiric society in the shadows, it is of utmost importance due to the proliferation of vampire hunters and the advancements of modern society. While your boss and I may have differing views on this matter, I firmly believe that our survival hinges on secrecy. Exposure would bring chaos and threats from the human world that we are not prepared to handle.
Moreover, it is in the best interest of our society to remain calm and avoid quarrels among Elders. I'm thinking of the recent verbal joust between Miss Arlington and Mr. de Laligne. Disputes and infighting only weaken us and make it more difficult to maintain our hidden existence. Unity and discretion are the pillars of our continued prosperity and safety. And I like to eat my prey warm, alive, and calm. Ho! Ho! Ho!
Interviewer (V-Diffusion): Thank you, Hadrian Von Kopek, for sharing your insights with us. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for you and the Bank SUK.
Hadrian Von Kopek: The pleasure was mine. Remember, in the world of eternal night, the Bank SUK is always here, and you have the whole of eternity to pay us back. Ho! Ho! Ho!
