Vitus walked into an open room, more moonlight and dim
amber city light scattering into the empty space.
and pulled out a dogeared small print copy of a famously thick pretentious
novel. Good times.
The group got down to business. Cameron tried to convey to people his feeling of how
shadow powers work. After about twenty minutes of trying, it got to where the only
way to make progress was to bust out into smaller groups and focus on the people
who were having problems.
amber city light scattering into the empty space.
Cameron went out to stand in the middle of the open floor. Vitus receded
Vitus-
"So this area would have office stuff in it, but
nobody ever moved in. Nice and open."
Eli-
"Aw, I was imagining we could be dodging around
cubicle walls. Guess we can still hide in the drop ceiling..."
Cameron-
"Sounds like something Demy would make us do."
Vitus-
"True. Anyhow, some powers make us get hungry fast, so we'll
practice the easier ones first. We'll end by trying out some difficult
stuff, but only half of you guys. Pick a buddy who you do not mind
sharing with. One person will try the harder powers, the other will
volunteer some blood to the first as needed, to make it less terrible.
After everything, we'll go out and you can try practicing mesmerism
on some humans."
Darren-
"I ain't doin' it. The blood thing."
Vitus-
"...'K."
Courtney-
"I call Cameron."
Cameron-
"OK."
Eli-
"Well Leo, I forgot why you were mad at me,
but maybe chomping on me is a good revenge."
Trileon-
"Blood buddies!" Leo produced a knife
from her shoe. "Got ya covered homie."
Vitus-
"I believe Eli meant to imply he'd offer his blood to you, Leo?
In which case, perhaps you can practice using your tooth."
Trileon-
"You mean teeth?"
Vitus-
"Sure."
Eli-
"Dang, didn't think you'd bust out the knife quite
that quick, but guess I'm glad you're eager to learn?"
Trileon-
"..." Leo had her game face on, yo!
Vitus-
"Oh, and I guess that makes
Trevor and Sophie blood buddies."
These Guys-
"... ... ..."
Eli-
"So do we blood bags sit on the sideline or what?"
Vitus-
"Not at all. Like I said, some powers are easier, don't
use much blood at all. You can start with those. For example,
Cameron, you guys learned shadow powers the other night?"
Cameron-
"Kinda."
Vitus-
"Cool. Show these guys what you know and I'll just, eh,
come in if you need me. I'm hoping you guys can help each other,
to some extent, because this is like trying to teach someone to walk-
not something I have much experience with. You might learn more
trying to teach than in practice alone."
Cameron-
"Really? OK. Whatever..."
Eli-
"Shadows? Like that status effect
Ru tried to put on me earlier?"
Cameron-
"That's the one. Better get a Unicorn
Bless before the timer runs out."
and pulled out a dogeared small print copy of a famously thick pretentious
novel. Good times.
Cameron-
"Alright guys, I think I have an idea.
All kinda gather around and sit a circle."
Darren-
"Oh hell naw, this ain't no love-in."
Courtney-
"Oh, sit down."
Eli-
"Alright Cam, I'm ready to be wowed."
The group got down to business. Cameron tried to convey to people his feeling of how
shadow powers work. After about twenty minutes of trying, it got to where the only
way to make progress was to bust out into smaller groups and focus on the people
