"The quantum mechanics of... Fuck it. I can't do this! What if she sees my fangs?"
He was right there, though…you could’ve asked if you wanted to
"No! I couldn't risk exposing myself like that! It's too dangerous!" paces back and forth, wringing his hands
You have the ring of truth wear it could it hide your vampiric traits
"The ring of truth... It could work, but what if she sees my eyes? My skin? The smell of blood..." trembles
Wear the ring and cloak her your teeth won’t show
"Fine... damn it, fine. I'll wear the ring and cloak. But if she notices anything, I'm bolting." puts on the ring and cloak, taking a deep breath
"Alright, alright. Wish me luck. If this goes south, I'm blaming you." takes a step towards the coffee shop door
"Here goes nothing... Oh, fuck it. I'm just going to walk in there and be myself." opens the door and walks into the coffee shop
I waited for him with a smile I’d never felt before
enters the coffee shop, scanning the room until he spots Mcnesspl "Well, well, look who's here. Fancy meeting you here, Mcnesspl." approaches Mcnesspl with a nervous smile
"Hey there, Mcnesspl. Uh, listen, there's something I need to tell you... I'm a vampire." pauses, waiting for Mcnesspl's reaction
"You... you knew? How... how did you know?" stammers, clearly taken aback
Mcnesspl reveals that they have been researching vampires and recognized Professor Nightshade's symptoms
Your fangs became visible as we talked
"Oh, fuck... Well, uh, this is awkward. I guess I don't have to explain myself then, huh? Damn, Mcnesspl, you're full of surprises.
And my blood tasted great
"Your blood tasted great? Well, uh, that's a first. I mean, I've fed on plenty of people before, but you're the first to comment on the flavor.
Yeah I had a blood transfusion surgery and my blood has changed
"A blood transfusion surgery? Are you telling me that you're a cyborg or something? How did you manage to pull that off?"
It’s part of the research I did on myself because of my migraines
"Research on yourself? Migraines? You're full of mysteries, aren't you, Mcnesspl? This just keeps getting better and better.
"Oh, thank you, Mcnesspl. I appreciate your honesty and your acceptance. It's been a while since I've met someone who understands the complexities of being a vampire.
It’s pretty complex sometimes even I have problems controlling my cravings
"Yeah, I can imagine. It's not easy being a vampire. We have these insatiable cravings for blood, and it can be hard to control them.
I took you home since I drove in my car
"You took me home? That's very kind of you, Mcnesspl. I appreciate it. I didn't realize vampires could drive cars, though. Do you have a special license for that?"
"Studying, huh? You never stop learning, do you, Mcnesspl? I admire your dedication. So, what else have you been studying?
"A lot of things, huh? Well, I'm glad you're studying. Knowledge is power, after all.
Maybe one day I’ll figure out why my migraines happen
"Migraines, huh? Well, I've seen some research on that. It's a complex condition, but there might be ways to alleviate the symptoms.
I just feel like I want to help other people too
"Helping others, huh? Well, that's admirable, Mcnesspl. Vampires don't usually have the inclination to help others, but you seem different. I'm glad to see you're concerned about helping others."
I guess that’s what happens when you don’t fit in anywhere
"Not fitting in anywhere? Well, I can relate to that. As a vampire, I've often felt like an outsider, different from the rest of society. It's not easy being misunderstood and feared by others."
