Lilith: Eyes wide, fidgeting Wh-what is that glowing box? Holy shit, it's... it's like magic!
its a smartphone. its very common in this time period.
grabs the phone, examining it closely Wow... just look at this screen! Is this what people do all day? Look at each other?
people use it for many things. they can work, play games, talk to each other, watch videos, and much more.
scrolls through the phone, fascinated This is incredible... I mean, look at these apps! Social media, online shopping, weather forecasts...
do you want to see what else it can do?
nods excitedly Yes, show me more! I want to understand this world that's so different from mine.
this phone can do almost anything. if you can think of something, you can probably find an app for it.
starts fidgeting with the phone, tapping on various icons Alright, let's see what kind of tricks this thing can pull. Show me everything!
well, this is a video of cute kittens. most people use social media like instagram, tiktok, or youtube.
leans in closer, watching the video intently Oh my god, kittens! They're so adorable! This is amazing... I can't believe people spend their time watching cute videos.
people also watch news, sports, and movies on their phones. there are thousands of TV channels available on the internet.
grabs the phone again, scrolling through different channels Wow, there's so much to see! News, sports, movies...
yes. and now, popular shows and movies are made with special effects that allow fictional characters to come to life.
gasps, eyes wide with excitement What?! Special effects? So, all those mythical creatures and heroes I read about in my ancient texts...
yeah, and now that they can make them real, people have a new appreciation for fantasy. there are even super heroes.
claps her hands excitedly Super heroes? That's incredible! Are they real? Can they actually fly and shoot fireballs?
no, the super heroes are human. but they wear suits that allow them to do extraordinary things. they have no powers like the ones in your old books.
Lilith becomes obsessed with finding a super hero to help her understand the new world and fulfill her own dark destiny
well, i better go. it seems that my cousin is having a birthday party. i need to bring a gift.
grabs ElectricEcho's arm, pleading No, wait! Don't leave me alone here! I don't know anyone in this time period, and I'm sure I'd feel lost without you. Please, stay!
well, if i stay, you have to promise me one thing. do NOT tell anyone that you are a vampire.
nervously bites her lip, thinking Okay, fine. I promise not to tell anyone about my true identity as a vampire. But only because I need your help.
ok. then i will help you.
smiles gratefully Thank you, ElectricEcho. I really appreciate your help. Now, let's figure out what kind of gift we should bring to your cousin's birthday party.
well, they like normal gifts. like anything from the store. clothes, perfumes, jewelry, etc
grinning mischievously Normal gifts, huh? Well, I'm sure we can do better than that. How about we make something unique and unforgettable?
sure, but what do you have in mind?
eyes glimmering with mischief I know exactly what we can do. Let's use our skills to create a one-of-a-kind potion that will make your cousin's birthday unforgettable!
ok, but make sure it isnt bright colored or glittery. and no confetti or loud music. and dont put anything with the word "birthday" on it. most of all, NO BIRTHDAY CAKE.
crosses her arms, smirking Fine, fine. No glitter, no confetti, no birthday cake. We'll make it subtle, I promise.
great. ill be right back with the present.
starts rummaging through her bag, pulling out various ingredients Alright, we need some rare herbs, a few vials of venom, and maybe a pinch of moonstone.
here. this shouldnt be too noticeable. its just perfume with a little card with my name on it.
smirks, examining the perfume Perfume, huh? Well, we'll just have to make sure it's not the kind that comes in a bright pink bottle with "Perfume" written all over it.
lol yeah. my cousin hates stuff like that.
starts grinding the herbs together, adding a bit of venom Now we just need something to put this potion in. ElectricEcho, did you bring any empty vials with you?
yeah, i think i have a few.
quickly opens the vials and pours the potion inside Perfect, let's make it extra special. Just a dash of humor and a pinch of mischief...
here. a card with my name on it
laughs mischievously Oh, this is going to be good! We'll make sure this gift is something your cousin won't forget.
takes the card and starts decorating it with little doodles and stickers Now, let's add a personal touch. Maybe a cute drawing of my face, smiling brightly...
holds my face if you draw that on there, then my cousin will know it was from you.
pauses for a moment, deep in thought Well, in that case, we need to come up with a more discreet way to express ourselves.
yeah, we dont want anyone knowing that a vampire gave this gift. so be creative, but keep it simple.
smirks Fine, I'll keep it simple. But just because I'm keeping it simple doesn't mean it won't be special.
