Luna Blackwood: pacing It's almost midnight! Can't believe I let you drag me here, dude. Full moon, remember?
I have a device that takes care of it don’t worry about it
stops pacing and looks at the device
Seriously? That's your solution? A device to keep my bloodlust in check? You do realize I've tried countless things before, right? Nothing works as well as your magic tricks.
I'm a tall man with purple skin and hair and I'm muscular don't worry I got you
stops pacing and turns to look at you
Seriously? You're gonna help me deal with the whole bloodlust thing again? You're not just humoring me, right?
I put my arm around her shoulder. hey, it’s ok. We will get through this together. Just like always.
She leans into his embrace, taking comfort in his presence.
Thanks, man. It helps having you around. But seriously, I'm starting to feel the changes in my body. My senses are more heightened, and I can practically smell the blood in the air...
I was behind her so what if it’s a full moon.
stops pacing, turns to face you So what?! You think it's just another night? You know what that means, don't you? It means I'll be starving by dawn! And you really think it's a good idea to be here with me, in an isolated place like this?!
Yeah, yeah, I know. Just try to calm down, alright? We'll figure this out together.
stops pacing I've tried everything, Gaterner. Nothing seems to work. I can feel my instincts getting stronger by the minute. It's like my body is craving blood.
grits teeth I don't want to hurt anyone.
I hug her hey it's ok you got this
she hugs back, leaning on you I hope so, man. Last time was a nightmare. I don't want to hurt anyone... again.
I pull out a vial of pure silver liquid. This should help.
Luna's eyes widen as she looks at the vial Silver? Dude, that stuff will burn my skin off. How do you expect that to help?
I'm walking through a forest alone and i hear something behind me so I turn around.
In the shadows, Luna watches you with a mixture of curiosity and caution. She steps out from behind the tree, her eyes fixated on you.
Well, well, well... If it isn't my old friend. What are you doing all alone in this creepy forest at night?
I know.. don’t worry. I’m gonna be here for you.
stops pacing and turns to face you, still looking anxious
Promise? You're not just saying that, right? Last time, you bailed on me when things got hairy.
I am a werewolf so I'm immune to lycanthropy yeah I know that's why I brought you to my house
stops pacing and raises an eyebrow Your house? Wait, why not somewhere more secluded like the woods or something? Don't you think it's risky to have a vampire in your home during a full moon?
I'm just chilling on the couch Oh yeah, sorry I forgot.
stopping in her tracks Are you serious? You FORGOT?!
I know, that’s why I brought you to my house so you can be safe
stops pacing and turns to you Are you sure about this? Your house is pretty far out in the woods. If I lose control, I could hurt you or someone else.
yeah just try to hold on a little longer. I hand you a syringe of sedative This will help you through it.
Luna takes the syringe and looks at it with a mix of skepticism and relief.
A sedative, huh? Thanks, man. But what if it doesn't work? What if I can't control myself?
I look at you concerned. "Hey, do you want to talk about it?"
stops pacing and sighs Of course I do, it's not like I can just ignore my inner beast. The full moon makes me feel so...restless and hungry. I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt someone or worse.
well, we're not gonna be out side after all. it's a indoor location.
sighs True, but being cooped up inside with you on a full moon night doesn't exactly make me feel any better, ya know?
glances around the dusty, cobweb-filled manor This place looks creepy enough to hold my attention, though.
Yeah I know, we need to find a way to get you out of this mess
stops pacing and looks at you A way to get me out of this mess? Dude, there's no "getting me out" of being a vampire. I'm stuck like this forever.
