 [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.]

Kinda blows that outta the water, yeah.

Shame. Would have made a good one.

[comparative_insanity]

Maybe, but I ain't sure how many vampires are supposed to have like... cats eyes and stuff? And no fangs, apparently. I guess claws are more effective or something?

[shiromadoushi]

No fangs? How are you supposed to drink blood without fangs? Slice and slurp?

[[Sensitive boy right here]]

[WincewinceWINCE.]

Well, I ain't sure how pointy teeth would make it any better at all, but... well, the claws are probably for that, though we'll probably use a scalpel for a while. He seems to heal real fast afterwards, though, so at least there's that.

[shiromadoushi]

You've got a donor already? Handy! Especially with a healing factor! You really lucked out!

[comparative_insanity]

Well, it ain't like I've got much of a choice. It's kind of... It's got to be his blood. Don't know why, but that's how it is. And I think the healing somehow is because I feed on him, if that even makes sense.

[shiromadoushi]

Sort of like licking a wound shut? Super handy!

The Convenient Vampire, you are :D

[comparative_insanity]

Disturbingly like that, really. But I guess it's good that I didn't just attack a total stranger and try to get their blood, yeah.

[shiromadoushi]

Only disturbing if you think about it too hard.

Think you'll be able to turn into a bat anytime soon?

[comparative_insanity]

Yuck, I hope not, I ain't too fond of the critters. I think I prefer staying at least relatively human-shaped. [A beat.] mind you, with the way I look, I'd bet on turning into a cat more'n anything.

[shiromadoushi]

But bats are awesome! And you'd be able to fly!

[comparative_insanity]

You ain't ever walked into an attic full of bats I hear. They ain't so awesome then, trust me. [He laughs.] And if I have to eat bugs as well as blood, I think I might start considering moving.

[shiromadoushi]

Not yet, but it still would be awesome.

And you could be a fruit bat! Those don't eat bugs.
