[id: wide shot of the figure standing next to the mailbox beside courtley manor’s front walk, now revealed to be the vampire carmilla karnstein courtley, having the appearance of a pale-skinned young woman in a medieval gown of red and black, with very long straight hair dyed a shade of red that nearly matches that in the gown. a black speech balloon with a thin red border and red text in creepsville font indicates she is saying: “okay, carmilla. get ahold of yourself. you can do this.” /end id]
