10. Video. Laptop.
[When Karl's face pops up, something looks distinctly different. Could it be new clothes? Nah. Could it be a new hair cut? Nope. Could it be the gigantic black eye he's now sporting and that's impossible to miss? Yup. Given the size and the intensity and the puffiness, whoever got him in the left eye got him good and recently so. Anyone in or around the police station at 5 pm yesterday would have seen a random man march up to Karl as he was leaving and just slug him as hard as possible. Karl, oddly enough, didn't do anything to him.]
Should any of you still wish to test magic and its effects on plastics or other materials, I've recently gained a new form of it which can be used for the experimentation.
[Time for a quick demonstration (once again, inside his own apartment because true scientists don't dwell on details like property damage when testing things)! Karl rolls the chair out of view so to give everyone a nice view of a rubber boot by a door frame. Nothing happens for a few seconds. Then suddenly, a bolt of lightning (complete with thunder sound effects) strikes it. Out of nowhere. Inside an apartment. Yup.
Once magical lightning show is over, Karl rolls back into view. He almost opts ending the message here, but instead, very clearly hesitates before speaking up once more.]
There's also a question I've been meaning to ask. Does anyone here remember being older than what is possible for humans? If so, do you recall how it was possible or the details of why the aging process had been abnormal? Was magic or odd technology inv--
[Asking about the details behind potential agelessness gets cut off by the sudden vibration of his phone. A quick glance down at it happens before Karl sighs and answers with a 'Ja, Mutti?'. A nice little exchange made up mainly of ja-ing and mutti-ing follows, with a final 'yes, I promise, this weekend' in German before finally closing his phone. Seconds after the conversation ends, the phone vibrates again. Thankfully, it's only a text. It still succeeds in getting another sigh.]
As one final note, I will be traveling outside Locke City to Boston on the 29th and will remain there until the 5th. Pulses may no longer fully vanish outside the city, but still be cautious in contacting me during this time.
[And just ending here. People should get the jist of the aging thing even if it got cut off, right? Right.]

Much as I hoped otherwise, that seems to be the case.
text->action
You're still an idiot.
action
Yeah, I know.
action
...I'm probably going to be in the same boat, you know.
action
You're what?
action
Vampires are immortal, Karl.
action
[Modern monsters and tales aren't his strong point. He could write you a thesis on Typhoon, but is completely lost on vampires. Shame. Maybe if he had bothered to ever look into it, this reveal wouldn't be so surprising.
He stares at her for a moment before pulling her back into that hug. She didn't need this. The vampire thing is already bad enough; why did immortality have to get thrown on top of that?]
You didn't mention that, either, you know.
action
[She'll accept the return of the hug, quietly pressing her face into his neck.]
And... maybe I was trying not to think about it too.
action
[That book report on Dracula? Half-assed and skimmed and got maybe a D. Him and his high school english teacher were not friends.
Nothing gets said for moment. What to really say? A sigh escapes Karl as he continues to hold her.]
So it seems we both drew the short straw with this.
[He pauses. When it's just him, being pessimistic is okay. Melissa dealing with this makes pessimism not a note to end this conversation on. Hoping for the best, if only for her sake, is what needs to be done.]
But, somehow, it'll be okay.
action
Yeah... I hope so. For both of us.
action
Do you want some hot chocolate?
action
Sure, why not.
action
To the kitchen, then.
