 [So here's Fay looking somewhat sheepish in front of his computer, not quite sure how to share what he has in mind. Because just about everything sounds ridiculous.]

Sooo... Since some other people've been showing off their weird new talents and bodies and the like, I might as well... share, I guess. [He looks up at someone off-camera and winces.] You can... do it. Just be careful.

[For a moment, nothing happens. Then Fay's washed-out blue irises suddenly blossom into a vivid yellow, his pupils narrow into slits, and he lifts his hands with a curse as his nails elongate into razor-sharp claws the length of his hand.]

So apart from the total nail-disaster and the weird eye thing, I think I might be faster than I was before. Maybe. And whatever did this to me kind of hurt like a bitch.

Oh, and- [He grimaces, looking off-camera with a shudder.] I drink blood. For real. So I guess I can't say anything about being called a vampire anymore, though I must be the weirdest durn vampire to draw breath - which I ain't even sure vampires are supposed to do.

[He appears to focus, and after a few false starts manages to get his eyes back to normal. His nails, however, don't seem to have gotten the memo. He groans and holds them out and away from his body, like a man would who has already made the mistake of cutting himself on them.]

Oh, and the girl that posted here not long ago? Jennifer? She's my little sister. So if you make any trouble for her... well, I guess you just got to stack up on wooden stakes, alright? [Once more he looks off-camera.] Youou, could you... the video-

[Clearly he's not going to be experimenting with button-pushing with those nails. But a moment later Youou's arm appears in view - and an attentive watcher might notice a half-healed shallow cut on it - and the feed is cut short.]

Holy shit that's AWESOME.

And you can still go out into the day and aren't dead or anything?

[voice because lol he can't type rn]

[comparative_insanity]

As far as I can tell, there ain't nothing like that happening, no. I feel alive and the sun ain't bothering me. There's just the... blood thing.

( audio )

[argents]

No way.

[ Long time no see. ]

( audio )

[comparative_insanity]

[Well hello there sane person, he's really sorry but...]

Way. Trust me, I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.

[video]

[acequeen]

[Here's one brown-haired newcomer with her eyes as wide as saucers. Yup, totally the weirdest thing she'd seen.]

Wow. That's— [Okay, how to word this without being overtly rude?] ... really something, all right!

[video]

[comparative_insanity]

Yeah. [He seems to have at least mastered the ability to slowly press buttons with his knuckles at least.] And when I say it hurt, I really mean it. I ain't sure what this is supposed to be fore, but I don't like it much.

voice;

[hollowleg]

That's... I...

sheeeesh.

voice;

[comparative_insanity]

Pretty much. [He at least manages to laugh, because the whole thing is pretty damn silly.] Not so bad as throwing up my stomach, but trust me, you don't wanna go through the change into this if you wanna avoid it.

[video]

[darkhourdear]

[woooow. You have a small child watching you like this is the coolest thing ever.]

You're an actual vampire?

[video]

[comparative_insanity]

[Oh lord, small children, what do? He smiles and shrugs a bit awkwardly.]

Well, I ain't got no fangs and I'm still wearing a cross around my neck without dying from it, but I seem to be some kind of vampire.

[Voice]

[scramasax]

Oh - ...goodness's sake!

[His voice takes on an uneven quavering edge in that.

They've seen things, just about all of them. This is the first so-total change that Anthony has seen in one of theirs.

His spine chills. Sights of werewolves' teeth and that vision of glowing symbols shine somewhere in his brain. He hasn't talked to Fay personally. Even so, from what he's seen of him, he can't managed to feel horrified even as he calls himself a vampire, of all things - just awed. For now.]

How did this happen?

[Voice]

[comparative_insanity]

[He smiles a bit apologetically, as if to say 'Sorry for being a generally bewildering experience right now', and shrugs.]

We ran into... something. It looked like a bigger version of those bug-things, all black hair and looking sort of human but... like, small? Not as small, but maybe three or four feet?

[not_good_not_wicked]

You must be why she moved up here without having a house or a job or anything.

[comparative_insanity]

Ah... Not quite, actually. She didn't have any idea I lived here, and I hadn't seen her for seven years or so, it was just kind of... a coincidence?

audio;

[immortalize]

That's... That all wasn't some sort of... magic trick?

audio;

[comparative_insanity]

No~o, thankfully I ain't also magic on top of everything else. [You just wait Fay. You've got no idea, man...] It's all real, though it feels a bit like I'm going crazy. The guy I'm staying with right now can vouch for it, though.

voice

[testsonseashells]

[More mutants make Mordin's day much more magnificent.]
Incredible! Feel tired or hungry after transformation?

voice

[comparative_insanity]

It ain't the word I'd use, but I'm glad you're happy. [He sounds mostly amused, honestly.] I passed out 'cause it hurt so much, and when I woke up I thought I'd go crazy if I didn't get blood.

video; IDK IF THIS WORKS poke me if not :|b

[earnedmystripes]

[His voice is--well, kind of awkward, but still laced through with concern.]

You're...doing okay, now? Besides the weirdness, I mean. Does anything still hurt?

IT WORKS IT WORKS

[comparative_insanity]

Yeah, I'm fine. [A wan smile, and he waves a hand dismissively and then stops out of fear of ruining anything with those claws.] Youou said you helped him get me home. Thank you, he was in a bit of a state when I woke up.

[Private voice]

[professorwolf]

[First things first:]

Fay? It's Randall. Are you all right? You said "painful"....

[Private voice]

[comparative_insanity]

Mmm, it seems like it only hurt right when... whatever it was happened. I'm fine now, though that doesn't stop Youou fussing over me. Poor dear kind of had to take care of me after I collapsed.

jesus christ

[that... is worrying. Given what flashbacks SHE'S been getting...]

did your memories/flashbacks/visions (echoes?) have to do with this, like... did you get memories of being a vampire first?

voice;

[comparative_insanity]

Not really, now? Like, there's some things I can sort of feel instinctively, but those came with the change. Except... [He hesitates a bit.] Well, the person I take blood from? I wanted to taste his blood way before this happened, and that come with one of those flashback thingies too.

[formermagicalgirl]

Ew, gross. Really, that's serious TMI there.

[Not like she has room to talk though with how she's turning into somewhat of a psychic vampire and all, but at least she'll never have to drink blood.]

voice;

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I just thought I might as well share since I'd already mentioned weird blood-cravings before. But you're right, it is pretty gross.

Voice

[reckless_fire]

...Whoa.

[Why thank you, Kenji, that was incredibly insightful.]

I..uh...guess the healing thing's good, though?

Voice

[comparative_insanity]

Mmm, I wouldn't exactly feel comfortable with slicing someone's arm up repeatedly for my own sake otherwise.

[steelettos]

( well. she's -- kind of expected it. with the werewolves and the alien things lately. )

I don't suppose you sparkle, do you?

( voice )

[comparative_insanity]

Only when I'm at work, sugar, and that ain't anything stranger than body glitter.
