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...

[winn]

[ he is not having good luck with topics here, is he. he considers a suggestion but - the way he sees it he'll either make things worse or end up with a lap full of vampire again and he's not ready for either of these options. ]

Hey it's ok - I know I'm not your first human, but uh, if you have any questions for me you can feel free to go for it.

[pneumo]

You mean...questions about human stuff? [ W-Wiiiiinn...you're too sweet for your own good. YOU'RE TRYING SO HARD TO MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE, it's incredibly endearing. If Sascha could realize that's what's going on he's be so happy. ]

[winn]

About whatever. Granted if you go for like, zombie stuff, all I got is my world's lore to go on.

[ he has two settings: trying his hardest, and pouty indignation. ]

[pneumo]

Aww--I know zombies aren't real! [ HA HA...HA..... ]

[winn]

Really? Cuz, you know, I'm starting to think humans aren't real -

[ he's clearly joking but. look at his friends - alien, mutant, vampire, meta-human... ]

[pneumo]

[ pffffffffffffff ]

Hehe--haha! Winn...! [ YOU ACTUALLY GOT A GENUINE LAUGH OUT OF HIM, feel proud. That's probably the first he's ever made in the whole six months he's been here. Usually it's his light and blase wobble of a chuckle. ]
