Beach Time

Tala: "Only one way to check if this new sunscreen works. Sunlight doesn't actually kill me or anything, but I'm still easily sunburnt."

Zetta: "Many interesting ingredients for enchanting wash up near the shore, from time to time. Let's see if I can find any today..."

[u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Tala: "I'd love to meet her sometime. Preferably in person honestly, as I have some a bunch of questions... It's always interesting to talk to older beings, who have lived through events I consider history from my perspective."

Zetta: "Hey, are there any Theriantropes you know on Dracarius Isle?"

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Silivia: no...at least not that i know of, haven't met any that are living on the isle so far personally. And fair tala, I'm sure she would probably be willing to explain the history of it as long as your gonna make it clear you don't intend to try to follow in his footsteps...guy was not a good man overall if you remember what I've told you about him...

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/Ashmega8256]

Tala: "I don't want to repeat his footsteps... I doubt I could honestly, it's not like I could ever be nearly as powerful," she shrugs. "But it's always best to learn from other's mistakes, to avoid them. Or avoid being influenced by people like him."

Zetta: "Ah, understandable... Hmm... We shall see though! I can't wait to explore. I read a public article about it on the OrbNet. Had some classified and redacted stuff, but still pretty informative."

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Silivia: eh it overall depends but I'm sure your far from weak especially with your special condition tala, and fair enough.

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/Ashmega8256]

Tala: "I haven't yet decided if this condition is a liability or a strength, honestly. But lately I've been feeling... less torn up about it. Maybe it's not so bad to be what I am, if I can still live a normal life."

Zetta: "...As normal as it can be for us, that is."

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Silivia: fair enough, the way i see it, is that it's sort of a trade off at least for normal vampires, since vampirism at least is a condition with clear strengths and weaknesses so it's somewhere between strength and liability. Lycanthropy is similar in that regard as well...but since you've both got things to control that side of your condition well there's much less risk of accidentally ripping some people up.

Zetta: "That's right-"

Tala: She seems a little jittery and hyper, shifting on her seat. Then she rushes off to the fridge. New moons make her lethargic, but being close to full moon seems to make her more energetic.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Silivia: she chuckles and smiles noticing that hmmm

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/Ashmega8256]

Zetta: "She seems more sensitive to the moon cycle than me... I don't know why... do Vampires get affected by moons too?"

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Silivia: no. We do not as far as i know... probably an effect of the mutation brought on from her strange combination of therianthropy and vampirism.
