"I sense that I am being accused of gloom...clearly, this is not right.  I
must change something of my appearance...simple enough."

into a brilliantly sunny meadow (the sun does come through, but it doesn't
hit Kadrys).

Load complains arise from several directions at the bright light, and the
scene hurriedly shifts, revealing a city lit by moonlight.  Occasional people
wander through the streets.

vampires, being living beings, but somewhat similar.  They are given full
protection of the law, and the duke maintains blood banks.  I never got an
adequate explanation of this tolerance."
