This could lead to an interesting turn of events. Karl already thinks Mavis is an alien, though her species originated from Earth. What if he believes in the vampire myth and that Mavis is a vampire?

No,  Karl knows she's one of the spirits and attributes her with those who made wessen and ghoul mutants in experiments to make the perfect human hybrid that would be resilient yet not free thinking.  When they failed they either killed,  enslaved,  or sent all those test subjects into hiding for fear of one or the other.  I stated this before.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Fernando Sets aside a plate for himself as he goes out to Karl's truck. It's a treacherous walk through the iced up snow though the air is warming up. Hopefully it will melt the snow soon enough, he thinks.
 
Getting to Karl's truck, Fernando sees that the rear seat has been taken out and turned into a bed, with a pile of blankets on top of it. He taps on the window hard enough to enough to be heard but not so hard as to break it. The blankets rustle for a moment but then stops. Fernando then knocks on the door under the window, much harder than he did with the window. This time Karl gets up enough to stick his head out of the blankets
 
Fernando points to the wrapped up plate of food he holds up to the window and shouts, "Your morning meal is here."
 
Karl reaches over to the door and opens it. Fernando places the covered plate on the seat by Karl's head.
 
Fernando tells him, "Time to wake up. You'll rest later for you have a long drive tonight. Know of the towns around here - who's friendly to mutants and who's not?"
 
"I may know of something." Karl says.
 
"Good, get dressed. You're coming with Hondo and I for some intel gathering for tonight's ride. Find out how much gas you need in this thing and if you know your Mechanics, check if it needs oil or other things." Fernando tells him as he takes a visual inventory of the vehicle's supplies, "Good. You got a 2-way radio. Keep it on Channel 23. Now hurry up, there's hot coffee in Hondo's truck, and I'll get you some needed stuff when we get to town. See you in about 5 minutes."
 
Fernando was about to close the door when Karl calls to him, "Wait!" Fernando stops before he closes the door. Karl continues, "Why so generous?"
 
"Why not?" Fernando replies.
 
"Yesterday you were about to feed me to a dinosaur, that's why." Karl throws at him.
 
"Lucy is for those who betray's my trust. Playing with a girl's feelings is betraying my trust. Respect my trust, and you will be rewarded. I will reward you and get you things you need: food, water, clothes, gas for this rolling wreck, what ever. Get where I am coming from?" Fernando tells him.
 
"Yeah." Karl replies.
 
"Good. Now hurry up. You got five minutes to get to Hondo's camper." Fernando says to him.
 
"You in cahoots with those spirits?" Karl asks.
 
"If you're asking if I am working for them, No. But we do have a vested interest in rescuing a mutant or a wessen - a young girl with black bird's wings named Gabrielle. She's about 800 miles away from here, we wont find her for a few more days. But when we find her, we have to rescue her. Then we have to take her to Texas. You are not to be part of that rescue unless you want to help out. So I ask, you have a problem these spirits?" Fernando says and asks.
 
"They are spirits. They created us and now want us dead or enslaved because they do not want the world to know we exist as their failed experiment." Karl explains.
 
"I doubt these are the spirits that created you and the other wessens, as there are many spirits out there. One of them did create you and the others but I doubt it's these idiots I'm dealing with that did. But you have my word that I will protect you from spirits trying to harm you. And if they get you, I will rescue you, along with any other wessen out there. All you have to do is work with us and help us as best as you can. Deal?" Fernando tells him.
 
"Deal." Karl says.
 
"Good. You got 5 minutes to get to Hondo's camper." Fernando tells him before closing the door.
 
Karl looks out the window, seeing snow outside. He decides to hurry up and finish his meal before getting dressed to get to Hondo's camper. The last time he remembers seeing snow was from a barred window in a 6 by 4 concrete room with no blankets and no mattress several months ago.

Mavis grabs her plate (hotcakes, eggs and kosher bacon), a glass of purple grape juice and sits down at the table. "Has anyone said the blessing over the food?"

Note: As of this moment, of mine and Arik's characters, Mavis is the only one in Hondo's camper.

At this point it is:
 
Zoe, Macey, Tonya, Val, Hondo and Mavis. Val should be eating at this time with Mavis joining in. Tonya is still sleeping
 
Fernando left to give Karl his morning meal. He will be returning soon within the next post and have his meal, he has not eaten yet.
 
Ruth helped prepared the food and has left to feed her group.
 
Karl will enter the camper within the next post when he is done eating and getting getting dressed.
 
The hour should be approaching 7:15AM by the next post.

Fernando enters Hondo's camper from the rear door, needing to kick off his boots clean from the snow they picked up along the way of his walk to/from Karl's truck. He goes to the cooking area and prepares a large sandwich and some coffee.
 
"There is still enough here for Jeanette and the others." Fernando says, mostly to Mavis but to everyone in the room, adding, "This plate is for Tonya for when she wakes up."
 
"What's the plan, Jefe?" Hondo asks as he walks over to him.
 
"Waiting for Karl then going out for some intel to the next couple miles. Karl should know what is Mutant and Wessen Friendly and what is not. And get some supplies." Fernando explains.
 
"What about the camper bein' frozen over?" Hondo asks.
 
"It will have to thaw out on it's own and I'll check it out later." Fernando says loud enough to be heard, "Jeanette's gas camper and our Dub Boxes should in the same frozen condition as the electric camper. They should be coming over here soon enough. Only your camper and the girl's camper are warm enough to have running water and your water tanks are internal as well as external. Your external tanks maybe frozen over."
 
There is a knock on the door, Fernando reaches over and opens the door, finding Karl outside. They look at each other for the moment with Karl asking, "Can I come in?"
 
"Wipe your feet before coming inside." Fernando tells him, then he asks Hondo, "Can we go inside the truck and plan this outing. We do not have a whole lot of time."

Just before Fernando goes to the cooking area and prepares a large sandwich and some coffee, Mavis says the blessing in Hebrew.
 
"Speaking of supplies, I need to get some wine. I brought gold coins with me." Mavis stops to consider a problem. "Is there a place to store wine? I hope that does not present a problem."
 
Mavis continues after thinking about something else Fernando said. "Mutant and Wesen friendly? I understand what you mean by 'mutant friendly' but I am not familiar with the term 'Wesen.'"
 
Note: After checking real-world prices of a good bottle of wine and given the established value of gold in this RPG, Mavis can get four bottles of wine with a small gold coin.

Before going into the truck section of Hondo's camper, Fernando stands by the door that separates them to answer Mavis' questions as Hondo and Karl goes in.
 
"This is not necessarily 'Grape Country,' but wine can be made from other fruit juices besides grapes, usually other berries."

 
"As for storing it, I do not know. A place can be secured, considering the children here, last thing I need is a drunken pre-teen loaded up on 'Jesus Juice.'" Fernando explains.
 
He adds, "Wessen is German for a hybrid person/monster of lore of old. It is used today to describe those who were genetically altered and mutated by a Spirit group trying to create a slave race, like Karl, Tonya and Zoe. But to some, including their creators, they are considered as a failed experiment, and others would prefer them to be enslaved, imprisoned or dead. But many escaped their tormentors and are running around free if you consider life on the run as 'free.' But they are human, though mutated with animal DNA, they are still human. Some Wessens are more human in appearance than animal, and others are more animal than human. You can consider them as mutants but many out here consider them as 'Wessen.' It is where knowing what towns are safe for mutants and Wessens is a key factor for us to know."

Note:
A good bottle of wine can go as low as $5 and as high as $100. A Gold Coin seems to be too high a price for a bottle of wine, maybe for a case of it. But a Good wine depends on many factors including age. Wines are not fermented with yeast as beers are but with a mold. Champagne is wine with a double fermented step, first with mold to turn it into wine and then with a bit of yeast to give its bubbles.
