"Hey Erskin, how you doing there, pal?"
"MY LIFE IS A GAPING CHASM OF NIGHTMARE INSECURITY AND TERROooh hold on I need to make fun of something."

 

yeah, i like that! he doodles in this AU but i don't think he's ever considered doing any actual crafts. his main creative passion is gardening/landscaping in this one.

i forget if i said this already, i was thinking his adult title could be 'greenfin', as a sort of play on greenthumb and also a direct insult, that he acts so common.

 

haha, yuck. what will it feel like? will he feel sick, or anxious, or what?

 

btw you can just skim over or summarize jethro's story if you don't want to write a whole big thing up!

 

well, ok, i guess i can forgive you.

here is a pile of spaceday condolence kittens, with little cupcake wrappers on their heads.

 

jethro: i was adorable as a child
erskin: the alternian discovery channel is an endless horror show

 

Daaahhh these are awesome ideas. 8) I do wonder, given that Lu's all bitten up and enthralled and stuff, would she be able to tell Pancho's a rainbowdrinker? Would she think it was anything out of the ordinary if she could? (I'm kinda doubting it really, like, vampires get to go to space too, it should make sense that they'd get hired places) I bet if Pancho asked, Lu wouldn't mention it to anyone, and also I imagine Lu might get up to some shameful pleading once her various cravings get worse, like, withdrawals are bad enough, at least bite me and let me forget it for awhile, and she knows -exactly- how much other vampires were delighted with her blood in spite of being all malnourished and stuff--and surely Pancho must be getting hungry, Lu can -tell-, etc etc (and with Lu, she's already got a huge red crush on her, so it would even feel like she was helping and not being all strung out on vampire thrall)

we don't gotta do down that road, but that's what popped in my head X)

 

Oooh. Pancho is usually so stalwart and gracious and GOOD to people (that she's not ax murdering haha) it'd be interesting to see her struggle with the impulse to do something genuinely harmful and skeezy.

Maybe if her morals are too firm to actually take advantage of lu, some part if her is thinking 'well, if i heal her up, if she's HEALTHY, it wouldn't be wrong, she'd be fine, a healthy highblood can donate a littke blood now and then...' which would be pretty uncomfortable i think! She wouldn't just want lu to get better from complete altruism, for a change. Id feel pretty guilty about that, personally.

What if as a battlefield medic there was always some spare blood around so she never thought her new nature was a big deal, but she hadn't actually thought through the situation of being the medic for a noncombatant skeleton crew? So she starts getting hungry and having intrusive thoughts about just, taking advantage of her patients? Would this guilt/worry make it more likely to go tell Bel, or more likely to try and keep it from him?

What if some part of her is starting to look at bel and not say 'thats my best friend and i love him and want whats best for him' but 'i want to eat that.' Maybe she knows bel would cut his head off and serve it to her on a platter if she asked, so she's upset that she doesn't know if she'd one day ask him to do exactly that?
