"Yes it should, I am very glad we're in agreement on that front," she agrees, a bit quickly. "Um. What was your, your plan? From before you realized I was the target of your magic love thing."

Permalink

"I wanted to meet you, to seduce you, to kiss you and have sex with you and then I would have had sex with the hottest woman on Earth and I would be able to stop thinking about you all the time."

Permalink

 


"... I, am. Flattered and. A bit concerned." She considers. "More than a bit concerned. Okay. So. What is your plan now that you know that I am the target of your magic love thing?"

Permalink

He shrugs slightly. "Do whatever you want me to do. Give you whatever information you want to have."

Permalink

"O-okay," she says, very faintly. "Okay. I would like for us to find a secluded place to sit down because this seems like a sitting down conversation."

Permalink

He nods. "Wherever you want."

Permalink

"It, should, not be my house, because I usually call a greeting to my father, and don't think I could fake being calm right now. I don't have a secluded sitting down place in mind right now, I don't really look for them, do you have an idea of one?"

"My place?" he asks, in a small voice.

Permalink

"Sure, that, let's go there."

Permalink

He nods. "I'll lead you there, then." He starts walking.

She follows after him, schooling her features to neutrality instead of an expression more suited to someone in the middle of freaking out about things that are definitely very worthy of a freakout.

Permalink

It's close, if not as close as her place. It takes a bit less than ten minutes, and it's a rather nice house for a single guy living on his own.

Permalink

And does he have a place upon which to sit in this house?

Permalink

He does, in fact, because his house is also his office. There's a waiting room, tastefully decorated and with a few nice sofas.

Permalink

Excellent. Yvette finds a nice sofa and sits on it.

"So, what's enforcing the secrecy things, how closely is it watching and how strictly is it enforced?"

Permalink

"A secret governmental body in Italy. They have various witch powers—magical powers like the ones I mentioned earlier today—which they employ for enforcement, I don't know all of the powers they have. It's enforced with death at first infraction, and if the infraction was caused by an uncontrolled newborn then their sire is also killed."

"Did you happen to use real life examples of magical powers during the, the silly power hypothetical. Are memory reading and mind reading actual things in the world. Is, perhaps, this statute enforced with literal mind reading powers."

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"Oh. And. And how strict are the laws, is it 'don't let it get out to the newspapers' or is it 'tell any human ever and you die'?"

Permalink

"It's the latter, unless you have immediate plans to turn this human and can guarantee they themself have never told anyone else who isn't going to be turned."

Permalink

"Okay," she squeaks. "Okay, that. Why don't you just. Go over all of the perks and negatives of being a vampire right now, so I can maybe come to a decision as quickly as possible, so the vampires in Italy do not have me for dinner."

Permalink

"The first perk is immortality: you will not age, you are immune to diseases, the only way to kill you is to set you on fire and for you to be incapacitated enough to not be able to put out the fire just by rolling very fast. The usual way is decapitation followed by dismemberment and then setting on fire. If you're dismembered but your lost body part is retrievable you can reattach it."

Permalink

"Useful. Okay."

Permalink

"Perfect photographic memory from the moment you turn. Vastly improved senses: your peripheral vision is as good as your main vision, which is good enough to see microscopic details and ultraviolet; hearing is vastly enhanced and includes pitches both too high and too low for humans to hear; improved senses of smell and touch. Taste... is complicated, I will talk about this later. Speed, some vampires can break the sound barrier. Strength, I can probably stop an oncoming train. Durability, we are about as durable as diamond, perhaps more. If you have a witch power or a latent witch power as human it becomes more powerful when you're turned."

Permalink

"I will probably want an explanation of 'witch powers' later that is nonhypothetical, but it can wait until after the vampire explanation has concluded."
