((Note edits above.))TV- "Karen, I need you... Howard, if only you knew--" *BZZT*
Ellen- "It's off."
Courtney- "Careful." Darren- "Oh yeah, I heard that when a vampire gets their brains blown out, they come back from it real quick, but all freaked out and monstery." Helen- "Maybe we should put it away, just in case?"
Ellen- "Let them get it out of their systems."

Quinn took the gun carefully as he'd been shown at the shooting range. He smiled, liking the weight of it. Music and firearms...who knew?"Oh, now I like this. What caliber is it?" He jumped a little at the sound from the television, but his hands were steady so there was no risk of him discharging a bullet randomly. Absently, he checked if the safety was even on. Knowing Leo, it very well may not have been.

Sure enough, the safety was off! It was by luck the gun didn't accidentally go off on the way here.To Darren - "Sophie totally got shot, dude. Not in the head, but when she got back up she was like an animal. Shit's crazy, shoulda seen it." To Quinn - "Forty? Fuck if I know, I don't know anything about guns."

Darren- "Vitus wasn't bullshittin'." Courtney- "The fuck? That isn't exactly the sort of information I'd toss off like that." Darren- "Can't think of a better way to say it."
Ellen- "Understandable." Helen- "Is it out of everybody's system yet?"
Quinn saw a very very tiny engraving near the safety:.40 BORE WALTRIM
Lucky guess?

Quinn was distracted from his exploration of the gun when he heard that information. His eyes widened dramatically."Sophie got shot in the head?! Good lord...what happened?" Clearly he'd missed something somewhere. Ever tactile, he ran his thumb repetitively over the small imprint on the gun (after slipping the safety back on).

Leo looked a little frustrated. "I just said she didn't, Q. Just a couple of jerks; We took care of'em. Sophie's fine."
"Now gimme." She held out her hand for the gun.

Darren- "Best be quick. She'll totally bust a cap in yo' ass."
Courtney- "..." Helen- "So mesmerism, yes? Heehee."

She cracked a smile. "Don't be silly! I could never hurt Quinn." She ruffled his hair again, this time a little more fiercely. "You on the other hand.." Leo fired several finger guns at Darren. BAM!

Quinn just quietly handed the gun back over to her, butt first. He turned his attention to Helen.To Helen - "Yes. I'd say it's time to move on."

Darren- "Pop pop pop." Helen- "Oh yeah, so I have a bar. It's in front. You can go out there, pretend to drink, socialize. I love talking to people. Everyone is different and interesting in their own way." Ellen- "The training?" Helen- "Mm, right. So if you guys all know how to call for family, the next thing is learning how to influence people. In the movies, it's all spooky like forcing them to be your slave, but you can use it to be nice, of course! Like, who wants to be awake when their blood is being drunk? Drank? Er..."
Courtney- "How." Helen- "To use any of those powers, you need to make eye contact first. And when you do that, you can catch the gaze so they can't look away! It only works on humans, by the way. Anyhow, tonight we'll go out to the bar, and you can try to catch people's eyes."

Quinn remembered how they'd tried a little bit of this the other night in Rafflesia. He also remembered how creepy he and Ru had seemed when they'd both tried too hard. "I tried this or something similar to it a little while ago and came of as a...gentleman of ill repute last time. I think I tried a bit too hard. Any nuanced advice on how to avoid such a thing in the future?"

Leo pretended to be shot by Darren, clutching her stomach "Ack! You got me! Cruel world!" At the mention of powers, she was quick to snap back. She didn't quite understand most of what Helen said.. Just look at them funny? Sounded good enough. "Yeah, any advice if it doesn't work?"

Darren- "I'm high calibre." Ellen- "Quinn, was it? Yes, it can be creepy staring at people, but people are quick to try to rationalize or forget eerie circumstances. As a beginner though, I think you should practice nothing but eye contact - no suggestion or sleep, just catch the eyes - and then let them go quickly. I don't think anyone should be too perturbed by that." Helen- "That sounds smart, but I hope we can do better before the night is over. Mm, if it doesn't work, try again! It's really easy. You just catch their gaze like you would without powers at all, but instead of letting go, you really give 'em the eye. And stopping is as easy as looking away."

Ah, that was it. He nodded attentively. Eye contact wasn't something he'd ever been good at in life, but if it was the difference between luring an easy meal and being forced to use more uncouth methods, he could learn to appreciate it."Well, that doesn't sound too dreadful at all. Like hypnotizing a hare, really."

That made a little more sense to her.
"Worth a shot."
