They continue doing more art and requesting more instantiations thereof, and let Cam know once they think they'll have it within a day, and then, finally - disappear.

'I warned her.  Though it did not seem prudent to waste more time than was necessary.'

"...hello. I'm Cam. Ancorabenelisifentiliane wasn't able to tell me your name."

"If you don't want to be here my understanding is the door will probably be able to take you home."

"Where is here?"

"It's called Milliways. It's an interdimensional bar which also tends to pause time in the worlds of the occupants. The bar is a person but she's not responsible for the rest of the establishment."

". . . Huh.  And I have been whisked away here because - "

". . . Humans?"

'Vampires.'

"Ah-huh."

" - or well, cool!  Neat.  Love your work, or - it's one of the most important things that's happened in the history of humanity, at least, definitely."

"Apparently vampires have recoverable souls and humans from your Earth don't."

" - yep, that sounds pretty important.  Is that just full vamps or does it include the ah, sangrades, or what?"

'Living beings gain souls upon their first interaction with the magic system.'
