Quoted By:

She seemed…unflappable, somehow. Flawless in a way that couldn’t be humanly achieved without editing software. Despite having just crawled back from the brink of death, and being bedridden for several days, she looked like she’d just come out of an expensive salon. Not a single hair was out of place, and she had a natural glow that would put even the most glamorous make-up artists to shame. Was this what vampirism was supposed to do to you? You hadn’t gotten this strong of a reaction from Reese. You wondered what the difference was.

“Reese is here, as well.” she said, not phrasing it as a question. “She was the one that bit me. She did it ‘save my life’, I presume.”

Louise chuckled darkly, exposing sharp fangs that had slightly pierced through her dark lips. “Foolish girl. She should have let me die. Now…my soul is damned. She has made me an abomination!”

She glanced over at the small, silver rosary that had been placed on a table on the far side of the room. It seemed to cause her physical pain to focus on it any longer than was absolutely necessary.

“What am I supposed to do now…” she asked, her voice cracking as more ichor ran down her face.

What will you say/do?

>”You can still hunt monsters. But now, you’ll be better at it! Fight fire with fire, you know?”
>”Please don’t blame Reese. She only did it because she cares about you.”
>”This doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Being a vampire doesn’t make you evil. It’ll just be a…big adjustment.”
>”Yeah? Well I’m glad she did it. None of us want you to die. And even if you're a vampire, you’re still my friend and teammate.”
>”I’ll tell you what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna live your new…’unlife’ to the best of your ability. I won’t let you quit on me.”
>”We’re in this together. If there’s anything you need, you just say the word.”
>Pull her into a hug.
>Write-in.

Apparently, the Deep One had managed to full one out as a souvenir for later. With time, you might be able to concoct and antidote for the potent toxin.

—-----

Thankfully, Madame Webb didn’t feel obligated to throw you out on your ass when you made even more outrageous demands. You could tell that she was bothered by the wanton molestation of her and her late husband’s home, but she also knew how important all of this was. You would definitely have to do more to pay her back in the future.

You spent almost all your time shadowing Terminal and helping him trail the Silvertongue suspect. Neither of you ever saw her do anything inherently magical, but you were certain that she was being more careful than she had been on that first night when you spotted her.

Either the attack on Death Adder had spooked her, or she noticed something when you passed through that illusory wall. Rintrah and Nico speculated that such an old creature would probably be an experienced ward crafter, and you didn’t doubt that this thing was keeping an eye out for anything remotely suspicious.

So, you took it slow and tried your best to stick to the shadows. It didn’t look like she had caught on to what you were trying to do, but you didn't want to take any chances. All it would take is one mistake for it to bolt and go underground again.

With those thoughts in mind, you gave your teammates an assessing glance.

Marc’s clothing was darker than usual, a sign of the Jake persona taking over his body. You weren’t worried, though. Every single one of his personas seemed to understand how serious this was.

Louise’s appearance had come as a much bigger surprise, however. She wore her usual dark robes, but had armor plating woven in to protect her more vulnerable areas. It was very similar to Marc’s usual costume in form and function, and you had a feeling that he helped her design the thing for this very occasion.

She looked less like a cute nun and more like a paladin in riot armor now.

Terminal looked the same as ever, wearing his skintight bodysuit that put his ribs and sickly constitution on full display. Matt’s discomfort with his presence was made evident by the amount of space between them at all times.

According to him, the diseased assassin shouldn’t be alive, or even standing upright, considering the state of his internal organs.

To say that this was an unusual team would be a massive understatement, but their devotion to the cause was inspiring, to say the least.

Nodding at all of them, you all stared down at the street below, where a familiar, petite woman with dark hair confidently strode through the city. The only time the Silvertongue seemed to be by itself was in broad daylight. It stuck to busy streets and almost never went down back-alleys or shady streets.

That last fact left you all feeling rather frustrated, since it meant that your only chance would come when there were other people around.

Quoted By:

You very badly wanted to volunteer your services as well, but this wasn’t your area of expertise. You couldn’t just go around checking the mouth of every person and dog that walked by you on the street. The thing could probably perfectly imitate its host, as well. It sounded intelligent.

Cindy sat up a bit and started signing frantically. She tried to offer a description of the people that tried to kill her in her parents home. Nico stopped her before she could get any further, however.

“There’s no point. I’d bet that it hopped bodies right after it stole your voice.” she said. “She probably looks completely different now.”

“Why are we certain that ‘it’ is a ‘she’?” Louise inquired.

“It stole a girl’s voice. Chances are that it chose an appearance to match its new voice.” Nico reasoned.

Wait a minute! You knew how you could help! You could look for-

“Then we should look for records of people being found dead, with their tongues missing.” Marc suggested. “I’ll comb through coroner reports and police records after this.”

Dammit! There really was nothing left for you to do.

Wait. Didn’t you know someone that has the absurdly useful ability to kill just about anything? Maybe Terminal could kill the parasite for you!

But that would require you to spill the beans on Morbius’ secret. And if it got out, then that might spell trouble for the world in more than one way. Also, you were desperately avoiding having to be around the guy any longer than was completely necessary.

This meeting looks like it might wrap up soon. What will you say?

>”Is there anything that you think I can do to contribute?”
>”Do you think we should let Morbius in on this? He might be of some use.”
>”Is Blade or Elsa Bloodstone back in town, yet? Maybe they could help.”
>”...I think I might have a way to kill the thing once we find it.” (Tell them about Terminal.)
>”Thanks for doing this, guys. I know you’re all taking a huge risk just by pursuing this thing.”
>Write-in.

Quoted By:

Instead of taking the paper, you immediately turned around and started running. “Walk and talk. I gotta make sure THE FUCKING CIVILIANS aren’t in any danger first!” you exclaimed.

Her easy smile fell away as she fell into step with you, and she took on a much more serious expression. “Of course. Je suis désolé.” she said, bowing her head slightly. “What happened to them?”

“Snowsnake put them into a trance, I think.” you said, vaulting over the broken sofa and running up the front steps. Louise tried to follow you through the front door, but she was suddenly stopped by Cindy, who was holding her bo-staff up in a threatening manner.

“If it makes you feel any better, I can guarantee that Snowsnake didn’t bite either of them.” Louise explained. “Her hypnosis would not work on a turned human. It’s likely that she spared them because she thought they had more value as hostages instead of as thralls…or food.”

You entered the living room to find both Vic and Pete lying on the floor, seemingly unconscious. You checked their necks for wounds, but couldn’t find any. At least there was some merit to what this crazy lady was talking about.

“Don’t worry. They’re just in shock. Being hypnotized is quite stressful for humans.” Louise said from the door, attempting to peek past Cindy’s staff. “They should be alright after a bit of rest.”

You looked at her, and then fixed your gaze on Cindy’s back. “What happened to the bat creature?” you asked.

Cindy looked back at you, paused, and then pointed at Louise.

“She shot it out of the sky, earlier.” said a familiar voice. It was Anastasia, approaching Louise from behind. Cindy didn’t look like she wanted to let her inside, either. “I have never seen a weapon like that before. What is it?” she asked Louise with more than a little interest.

Louise removed the handheld cannon from her back and held it up for everyone to see. It sort of looked like a portal gun with glowing vents on the front. “This is an Ultraviolet Light Projector. It has the power of 15 tanning beds and can fry a vampire in half a second.” she explained. “It does have a bit of a cooldown period, however. After I used it on Carpathian, I could not use it again for at least 3 minutes.”

“Carpathian?” you said.

“The ‘giant mutant bat’, as you called it. I have been pursuing Carpathian and Snowsnake for some time now. By the time I had arrived, you had already engaged them.” she said, sounding apologetic. “If I had known that they were using hostages, I would have checked on them first. Once more, you have my deepest apologies.”

Since both vamps had been dusted, and Pete and Vic were both safe, you’d have to try and come up with a believable story for when they finally woke up. And then there was the matter of Louise and Anastasia being here.
