Nosferatu Collateral Grozits

A compressed brick of synthetic blood substitutes, packaged in brittle amber glass vials wrapped with blackened Belazs’ insignia tape. The vials leak dark, viscous fluid that cures into a sticky residue on contact, fouling Belazs’ gloves and boots as she handles them under Kane’s scrutiny. Grozits glisten under the ice cliff’s pale light, their scent faintly metallic but sharp enough to provoke Ace’s instinctive recoil—the chemical mimicry of Nosferatu sustenance repelling even the mercenaries forced to guard it. The brick’s corners are slightly crushed from rough handling, indicating its status as a bargaining chip dragged through multiple power shifts rather than a refined product.
