Eli remembered the death had a lot of coverage because the man was sexy.
Eli-
"Whoaa, damn. That one coulda made
the cover of the Harlan Mirror at least!"
Eli-
"So what's it feel like to get a vision? It just pops into
your head? How did you know when you first got one?"
Wiley-
"Good question. There's images and words, and it's
a mess of the two. Like one thing leads to the next and by
the time iss done I have... a powerful memory but one I
can't describe any better than when it happened."
Vitus-
"Did you start having the visions before you understood
they were of the future? That was in your teens, right?"
Wiley-
"More like ten, eleven? Eleven. And yeh, took a few."
Eli-
"Damn, man. I can see how that could give you some troubs.
Too bad you can't spin it into a fortune telling biz or something."
Wiley-
"You're a good kid. Yeh, I tried once or twice, but I don't
have the charisma ta sell it all. Plus there's the useless-ness."
Vitus-
"One still can't help but wonder if they could be decoded, made
more useful somehow. But then, the paradox. Will it happen if
you can prevent it or alter it? If it doesn't happen, then how did
you have a vision of it, or would you retroactively have not, and
then what?"
Eli-
"Too bad you can't make a living off poetry these days.
Do you write this stuff down? Might be hard to separate
from random dream-thoughts though?"
Wiley-
"I feel like poetry is something where yeh gotta wanna,
and I don't. But it's fine, iss fine. Tell me about yourself.
Why did Vitus bring you to gaze upon the freak?"
Eli-
"Aww. We're honestly more freaky, don't you think?
Well... I'm brand new and I was kind of wigging out
about all the... supernatural... 'abilities' I was seeing..."
Vitus-
"And you're not a freak, you put a human face on occult
phenomena, as it were. Everybody likes you, Wiley."
Wiley-
"Don't make me cry, guy. So you're new to vamping?
Hope you get the hang of it. What all does that involve?
Seducing youths for a sip of what ain't yours? Could
be worse."
Eli-
"It could be worse, I guess. But it was just so quick, going from
midterms to seeing your friends crawling around on the ceiling
and turning into murder beasts. Well, they didn't murder any-
one but y'know, it's easy to picture with the fangs and demon
eyes and stuff."
Wiley-
"Friends? They can crawl about on ceilings but
you can't? Could it be a disability of some kind?
Eli-
"Oh, well... I probably could if I wanted to. It just creeps me out.
I dunno why, 'cause everyone else doesn't have a problem with it.
I guess that might be the disability part."
Vitus-
"He needs to get comfortable with his abilities. They're essential
for survival, and for minimizing harm. A thirsty enough vampire
really is a monster. A well sated one can go years without trouble."
Wiley-
"I'm sorry, Eli. That's harder than it sounds at first blush."
Eli-
"Well thanks, I appreciate hearing that. So what's it like for you,
seeing these extra supernatural guys? Ever seen Vitus go spookhouse?"
Vitus-
"Heyyy..."
Wiley-
"The leprechaun. There's a guy there and we aren't really
supposed to descuss what we are, what we do, and Vitus lets
slip this fella Clu is a leprechaun. I was ready for a pot of gold,
you know, made a joke. Clu made it so that I had a twin brother
that died and everyone liked better than me, and only I know
he never existed. Now my ma treats me a little weird."
Eli-
"Damn, dude! All for a joke? Remind me not to mess with
leprechauns, sheesh. Any other critters I should watch out for?"
Wiley-
"Joke's on him. She treated me worse before. Now I remind
her of wee David and the fragility of life. Harhar... Hoo..."
Wiley-
"I'd watch for werewolves. I don't know if they
exist, but they ought to, and they are right scary."
Eli-
"Ooh yeah, they're supposed to be our natural enemy,
if films are to be believed. Vitus, is that true?"
Vitus-
"I don't think they exist?"
Wiley-
"He's foolin' himself..."

The review of Mother Valerie's hearth did not include a link to an official website, but did have the physical address - some filthy stretch of Harlan sprawl pretty far from downtown. The review:
Por Jason,
In web browser land, Eli was a bit disappointed, as he had no idea what, exactly, an Aldean would need. Perhaps they should develop a starter kit, he mused. Still, he copied the address and name down on a textpad, so he could inquire about it with Vitus when he was done with his Jack attack.
Eli was fairly certain he'd need to do some kind of research before any of these store reviews made sense, but there was one other store that definitely piqued his interest - Berith's Bonnet. If the ghouls were right about witches, then these Aldeans might indeed be anti-dead people. So perhaps being evil meant they might actually be vampire-friendly! He had to check, so he tapped the review.
Annnnd then it was back to the review of Berith's Bonnet.
He sent a second message, with a picture attached.

Mother Valerie's is a legitimate foundation for the Aldean faith as well as a business that serves only the hihgest quality magickal fare. The prices range from reasonable for items that should be cheap (overpriced everywhere else) to reasonably high for rare things. Literally everything an Aldean could need that is possible to purchase can be found here, pressented without glitterwitch trappings and faerie calendars. You must go there at least once, take a shedule of events, and speak with the staff."
Por Jason,
Nooo, don't even say that. You're not gonna die or I'll kick his butt right back to Bribeaux.

If he kills you, I have to try. I'll use la chancla, he'll never see it coming. Then I'll unleash my final form and he'll suffer a crippling defeat.
Annnnd then it was back to the review of Berith's Bonnet.
Pfft. Go ahead and try. Meanwhile, I will be learning the ways of the occult.

This will be my new boyfriend. Isn't he sexy?
