Vitus-
"How could that even make sense? Some young vampires
are very vicious, some older ones are relatively humane.
It just doesn't line up with the facts, guy."
Eli-
"Well, even so... I hate it. It feels like I'm gonna get possessed every
time those... shadow things touch me. And I don't wanna see my friends
looking like high budget K-Horror extras. It's just freaky and horrific,
okay? And like, everyone is totally fine with it! Just... crawlin' around
on the walls and shit. Ugh... And why? Why do we have to do all that
evil-ass stuff? Can't we just stick people with a syringe when they're not
looking? It's a nightmare dude, it's horrible, everything's fucked...
We're all fucked, we're going to like, double hell. I tried to be a good guy,
and look where it got me, man. A beastlord, like a-- some kind of a demonic
monster creep! I don't wanna do that shit! I just want to be a regular guy.
It's never been a fantasy of mine to hang out on rooftops with capes. And
everyone else is cool with that! They're all down with this gothic Lord
Demos freaked-out horror scene and I'm not. I'm just not!"
Vitus-
"..."
Vitus-
"A religious panic. It's not unheard of, like..."
Vitus-
"It's a reason some progenitors don't make it. They're born
into this world with no guidance, and think of themselves as
cursed and such... Well, we don't want you to go mad and
hop in an oven. We should try to fix this."
Eli-
"Man, it's not like I was a Goddite or anything, why didn't I get
the vampire juice? Everyone else is all 'whee' about that shit and
I just feel like skeletons are gonna come bursting out of the ground
and tear my skin off at any moment! Well I only had that dream
just recently but it's fairly representative."
Vitus-
"Not especially religious before? That should help.
Also... I'll make an appointment with a human therapist
I know. She's tops with supernatural clients..."
Eli-
"Really? Is she gonna summon progressively
larger demons for exposure therapy?"
Eli-
"Man, I know it's not really demons. But... I was never into the horror
movies. Don't tell August... I like a good action-comedy. All this stuff...
It'd be fun to do the Song Fist and whatnot but if I have to crawl through the
underworld to get the grisly token of the blackened fiendlord or something..."
Vitus-
"She's a psychiatrist, you goof. But that gives me an idea, for
like... a version of exposure therapy. I'll make some appointments
with her, but tonight... I'll try to show you that you don't have to
be afraid of the supernatural. At least, not most of it. Of us."
Eli-
"Do you think it'll work? That stuff last night was pretty
baby level, wasn't it? If I can't even handle that..."
Vitus-
"I know, it's difficult. But I won't show you anything
that will really harm you. Nice people... OK, some of
them are a bit rough, but action comedy, right?"
Eli-
"Really...? I don't mind natural-born
weirdos. I guess I can try it."
Eli-
"Um, as long as you don't mind not doing that spooky
ear whisper thing, it kinda skeeves me at the moment."
Vitus-
"Shouldn't be a problem..."
{originally}
"Well, I'm up for anything. It will certainly be interesting so lets give it a try."
Jason warped his arm around Eli's waist and then held him close.
"Cheer up, alright? We're kinda like each others family now."
