[ Poorly socialized, emotionally immature when it comes to intimacy or more complex feelings...Sascha in a nutshell.

And he doesn't even know Kitty's already dead. Coming to the fleet is literally the best thing that's ever happened to him since he'd adopted the identity of "Sascha." ]

I think people are amazing all the time. Even if they don't have powers. [ Mister Awesome patting his shoulder right now ]

[winn]

[ ok that makes him laugh. ]

Did Kitty put you up to this?

[pneumo]

...? Nope! [ he just genuinely likes you and the hooman race that much. ]

[winn]

[ you know what, he's not sure he believes you. shaking his head at sascha forever, basically. ]

Well, I think you're pretty amazing too. Can't speak to all vampires though cuz you're the only one I know.

[pneumo]

I'm...your first vampire??? Ever?? [ HE'S HONOURED... ]

[winn]

As far as I know, at least!

[pneumo]

Oh wow.... Wow! [ He needs to make a good impression!! ]

[winn]

I know - it's pretty exciting for me.

[pneumo]

Um...! Then! Anything you wanna know, just ask...! I mean, I never had a Mentor or anything to really help me but I know some stuff!

[winn]

Well, you're clearly not like the vampires I heard about in stories back home so I'm not really sure where to start -- wanna just...tell me stuff, and we'll take it from there? Cuz I basically wanna know everything, that's how I roll.

[pneumo]

Hehe....okay! [ Man, someone who's curious about him who doesn't want him dead; his heart's all aflutter. ]

Umm.... I guess the basic stuff is that when you're bit and our blood gets into you and you die, it makes you a vampire. But you usually get brain damage, so that's why you never remember who you were before!

[winn]

So you have to get bitten and die with a vampire's blood inside of you to turn? It takes all three, if one of these doesn't happen, you don't change?

[pneumo]

I thiiiink...so? I mean. You need a lot of their blood in you. I think if you have enough of it in you while you're alive it'll kill you too? And then do the same thing.

[winn]

What's 'a lot'?

[pneumo]

....I don't actually know. But usually we don't do it like that! It's easier to, um. Do it the first way.

[winn]

So let's see if I understand -- if you're just bitten. Nothing happens? Except -- a bite mark?

[pneumo]

Pretty much, yeah. Oh--but you'll probably bleed a lot, so be careful!

[winn]

Don't worry I'm not -- planning on any of it. Just getting my facts straight.

[ so he'll know how badly to freak out if it ever happened. you know. it's practical! ]

[pneumo]

[ Hopefully no vampires from his world ever show up. That would be...problematic. ]

Okay. But don't worry! I don't bite♥

[winn]

[ currently, he's more worried about a banshee from his world. ]

I know - if I didn't trust you not to bite, I wouldn't be sitting here.

[ on his bed. alone with a vampire. he should really reevaluate his life choices, shouldn't he? ]

[pneumo]

[ Be glad vampires have negative sex drives Winn or Moods could be had by those greater than him. ]

.....

Oh. Yeah. [ That still blows him out of the water by the way. ]

[winn]

[ he's very glad. ]

Hey, do you remember what date you were turned on?

[ because they need a change of subject again and he's getting the feeling you've never had a birthday party. ]

[pneumo]

[ That...is actually very true. he has never had one. But he also doesn't remember his first few days all that well, because a) he woke up alone and b) he was illiterate before arrival. ]

No, why?

[winn]

I was just -- wondering when's your birthday.

[ and thinking back to his conversation about the very same topic with kitty - she took him by surprise with how young she is. this is gonna be shockingly opposite, isn't it. ]

And - how old are you, do you know?

[pneumo]

Oh...um. [ Ohhh boy. Sascha has a brief, paranoid moment that maybe Kitty told Winn that he's been alive more than a century--that he knows there's no possible way he could still be a young vampire. But then he remembers Winn doesn't know about the differences between Newborns and Mature vampires, so that would be out to begin with.

He lets his shoulders relax. ]

I don't really know...either of those, sorry. Becoming a vampire makes you forget most of the stuff that came before, so...
