"But it turns out that you don't actually, like, get hurt when you go in the sun."

Permalink

"Don't get physically damaged, no, do get pained and apparently more susceptible to trying to find someone to bite."

Permalink

"Right, but I'd bet your vampire thing wants you to find people to bite, so maybe it balances out or something."

Permalink

He shrugs. "It's weird that I get pain in the sun, though, seems kinda arbitrary. Might as well just get me bitier without making me averse to going outside with the pain?"

Permalink

"Yeah, that actually is pretty weird. Maybe it wants to make you be stealthier or something?"

Permalink

"– It will kinda bug me if it's trying to give me incentives to act more like a mythological vampire, go out in the night, feed on people in the dark, be weirdly charming and pale." He looks at his arm, which continues to look approximately: tanned. "At least the 'pale' thing doesn't seem to be applying yet."

Permalink

"You know, you actually look a bit different."

Permalink

"Do I? Uh, any specifics or just sort of a weird feeling, because this might be something sway is doing."

Permalink

"… I feel like your eyebrows might be slightly different." Pause. Squint. "And your eyes being that color, that's kinda a big change?"

Permalink

"Also I'm not swayed right now."

Permalink

He squints. "You do look kinda different."

Permalink

"I haven't been paying serious attention to my looks and I don't recall what I look like from before I died all that much?" he responds. "I– can go check?"

Permalink

"Do you have an old picture?"

Permalink

"– On Facebook or something and I should maybe take that down."

Permalink

"Should you? Why?"

Permalink

"Some people could have it synchronize to their phone with me as a contact and then they might own a photo of me. Or they might synchronize with it anyway and get, like, every one of the photos on my account, I'm pretty sure it caches thumbnails."

Permalink

"Do old pictures even work?"

Permalink

"We tried them? Answer was yes but somewhat less so."

Permalink

"Oh, right. Yeah guess you'd better take that down. And then look at a picture and compare it with a new one."

Permalink

Willow deletes her video.

Permalink

"– Yeah. I have a few on my phone so I can probably check now though." He gets his phone out and looks, then reports, "Okay, yeah, there's definitely a change."

Permalink

"Not in the direction of deathly pale, but more in the direction of, um... Pretty, I guess?"

Permalink

"Sort of," he agrees. "I mean. Uh. It might be related that– uh. My facial hair seems to grow slightly more evenly than it did before?"

Permalink

"Facial symmetry à la Twilight?"

Permalink

"Yeah? Sort of, but specifically the facial hair, it's more filled in and stuff, not just more symmetrical."
