[It is now Christmas in the latest time zone on Earth,] Bella announces, when this becomes the case. [C'mere.]
She has conjured a syringe of venom. There are no known effects relating to any particular person doing the turning, but she's gone ahead and duplicated her alt's venom - what would be hers, if she turned - regardless.
She hides it behind her back and smiles.

"Mmmrrrrr," he says, because why is she making him use his brain to think when he could be using it to hurt? No, okay, okay.
He does not object to not wanting to eat people... exactly. In principle. But he wants to know what it's like to want to eat people, what does she take him for? Of course he does. So can he do that just once, around somebody who's got some kind of protection powers and won't be anything more than unnerved if he chews on them a little, and then he'll decide to let her put the filter on and that'll be that?

[Adjustable filter, if you meet someone who wants to be considered edible you can take it down for them alone?] Bella suggests. [But I cannot approve actual human-blood-drinking, that permanently dings vampire self-control. So it'd have to be Bridget, or somebody magicked to work like her if she finds the idea creepy.]

[Sure, fine,] he agrees. [Dammit, it'd probably fuck up the vampire thing if I set myself on fire right now, wouldn't it.]

[I know,] she soothes.
Perhaps unwisely, she opens up the emotion-blob from the read.
And tackles him to the floor.

Some time later, when the venom's everywhere and Alice's vascular system (among other things) is being replaced with something venom-based, they are snuggling snugly.

So snugly.
He loves her, he loves her, he loves her. Everything hurts, he's pouring stars, and he loves her. He can just about barely feel where his hands and his nose and his cheek and his arms and his stomach are touching her, through the pain, and he loves her. She is perfect and amazing and she gives the best presents and he loves her.

[And I can stop worrying about that changing,] Bella sighs happily. [That being the other thing I had the Seer check.]

[...What, really? You're making me a vampire because you want me to be in magic vampire love with you forever?]
self_composed
[No, I'm making you a vampire 'cause I thought you'd like it. But I wouldn't have if you weren't going to wind up stuck on me, since falling in magical love with people is an occupational hazard of vampirism and can't be ruled out for arbitrary possible people until the person in question has already been identified.]

Some time later - Bella fields brainphone calls and conjures herself food and otherwise conducts her life, but doesn't leave the room - the pain starts pulling inwards.
[Hey, Lazarus, did you wanna come see the endgame of the Christmas present?] Bella inquires, squaring on some clothes that they've both been doing without for the last couple days. [It is incoming.]

[We're in Moonstone Palace. Can you be here in ten minutes under your own power or do you want me to yoink you?]
"Lazarus is gonna come see the fireworks," Bella murmurs.

"Mmmmmnf," says Alice, grinning slowly. "I feel like I'm gettin' run over by a train. A train that's on fire. Love you, love you, love you."

Bella magics herself immune to venom and related substances and vampire bites, and kisses him on the mouth. He is not as warm and soft as he once was, but they can freely vary that whenever they like with magic, and he's not exactly unpleasant to kiss even like so.
