[OKAY LISTEN........ Being told he was ugly by his own reflection didn't go over very well with Eliot. He may have accidentally broken the mirror with his psychic powers. He's licking his own blood from his hands when the video starts, hurt both physically and emotionally by his own self-inflicted pain. ]

I-I don't know what I did, but I think I made my mirror angry at me... [He stops licking his bloodied hand, reminded of what his reflection taunted him about: Being a vampire is his only identity, and his temporary 'ditzy' personality isn't "real." It hurts to know that it's true. As much as he wants to deny it, the taste of even his own blood is slightly addicting.] ... It might be dangerous to be around me. My powers are being weird and moody again. [No, Eliot. You're being weird and moody.]



[action - streets]

[Eliot thinks he's dangerous because of his psychic powers, but it's actually straight-up bad luck. Something that becomes apparent very quickly. Eliot can be found suffering all over town: You might see him walk under a window and have water dumped on his head, or trip over air so that he falls on his face. He also has a few near death experiences where he almost gets hit by cars or falling objects... It's just bad.

Anytime someone is near him when shit goes down, he tears up and apologizes like it's his fault:]

I'm sorry... uugh. You didn't get hurt, did you?

Do you need me to bandage your hand?

[Please stop licking it. She is aware he is a vampire, but she doesn't think drinking your own blood actually does anything. But she didn't really know.]

[anamnestik]

I can't ask that of you. I'm enough trouble already-- [And while licking his mirror wound, he licks a mirror shard and cuts his tongue.

It tastes Eliot a second to realize that he can no longer escape the sweet taste of blood.

Cue a whimper.]

... I don't want to be like this anymoore.

[brbgettingwrench]

My friends are always a trouble, but I deal with it regardless.

[Which basically means she is going to do it anyway. She was already planning on leaving her apartment since she had the day off. He really needed some help, to say the least. Though she found herself frowning for a moment.]

Don't want to be like what anymore?

[anamnestik]

[Normally, Eliot tries to stay hushed about these things. Especially to his human friends: They have no reason to understand what he's going through.

But Winry is different. So with a guilty expression, he elaborates.]

I've been well fed lately. I have a blood source, whose blood self-replicates in my body all month. But since I became a 'healthy' vampire, I've changed.

[He lowers his finger, trying to resist the urge to lick blood.]

Blood tastes good now. I'm becoming an actual monster, Winry... I don't like this.

[brbgettingwrench]

[She frowned slightly. Winry had been trying her best to do research on the subject of vampires, so she figured the blood tasting good was actually perfectly normal really. So she didn't say she fully understood what he was worried about.]

You only become a monster if you attack someone and hurt them. Otherwise, you are just normal. An idiot, but normal.

[demonofbadluck]

No, I am perfectly fine.

[Thankfully the water just missed him. Helped he had some speed behind him to avoid the bad luck he inflicts on people.]

You should be more careful, though.

[anamnestik]

I-I've been trying. Everything seems to be out to get me today.

[Eliot is trying to wringe out his wet coat, without removing his wet hood. This is miserable, but he can't afford to be touched by sunlight.]

At least it's hot out, right? I'll dry off quickly... Glad you're okay.

[demonofbadluck]

Sometimes people are just a magnet for such things. Must suck to be you.

[Baldur didn't really care, he knew full well he wouldn't of gotten hit regardless. But it was always fun to watch others.]

It's not like it was going to hurt me or anything.

[anamnestik]

[SO BLUNT?

But kind of true.]

Ah, well. Still. Y-You know what they say about bad luck transferring... and I seem to be pretty unlucky, huh? [sigh,] I guess what they say about mirrors and bad luck is true, eheh...

How can you make a mirror angry at you?

[Rapunzel looked slightly concerned. Why must people she knows get hurt... But at least this time maybe she could help, she didn't know if people had already tended to him. If so, she had a lot to think about.]

[anamnestik]

I don't know, but I managed to make it yell at me! It was really rude too! I didn't realize mirrors could be so mean...!

[ivegotadream]

I didn't even know mirrors could even talk.

But are you okay at least? Do you need help or has helped arrived already?

[anamnestik]

I'm fine, I think. My saliva is supposed to numb wounds and speed recovery.

[Hence, the licking.]

I didn't think that they could talk either. Except in that movie about the princess and the apple. I wonder if I made it talk with my psychic powers?

[video]

[draconixaviarix]

Are you going to be okay, though? Do you need metal things o-or sugar?

[cue some whiny squeaks of worry]

You don't look good..and mirrors don't often hurt people...

[anamnestik]

A spoon would-- [He cuts himself off. Metal spoons taste good to him, but only because his vampire tastebuds like metallic flavors. Eliot doesn't like that about himself.]

... Actually, no. I'm fine. Just bleeding.

[draconixaviarix]

[..Yeah like that didn't cause alarm]

Bleeding?! Where? Do you need help? No one's fine if they're bleeding...

[anamnestik]

Ahhh... No, it's fine. It's just a bit of bleeding. I'll be fine, really.

[He lowers his hand to his lap, resisting the urge to nibble at his finger.]

Sugar, though, huh? Are you still enjoying sweet things?

[immortalrose]

[Sight of the broken mirror worries him less than the sight of his son's blood.]

Eliot, you need to bandage that wound! [He makes a face once Eliot starts licking at the injury. The boy's just making the damn gash worse!] Dangerous?

You're no danger. Come now, what's a matter?

[anamnestik]

[But it tastes better than a metal spoon...!!!

Eliot pauses the licking anyway, because oops. This isn't very dignified.]

Nnn... When I get moody, my new powers go out of control. And I'm always moody!

[immortalrose]

[Ick, ick, ick! Stop that, son! That's just bad table manners.]

Why are you so temperamental these days? We need to sit down and have a talk, young man.

[anamnestik]

[More pouting, but less licking blood. So progress?? ]

Have I not always been this way? [It’s a legitimate question. Given how frequently he wipes his own memories, Eliot’s personality is often in flux. Without his memories of home, he worries he’s more inconsistent than ever.]

Having so much blood is just really weird...! I’m not used to this. It makes my emotions so much harder to control!

[singinghuntress]

[Well, that got Rip's attention and despite the shit she's dealing with, Eliot was someone she cared about in her own way.]

You're hardly dangerous. Zhough, should I be vorried about you eating yourself?

[anamnestik]

I-I'm not eating myself! [He slowly lowers his hand, embarrassed.]

Just stopping the bleeding! My saliva is supposed to heal wounds faster!

[singinghuntress]

[Well, that worries her. Rip watches him quietly for a few moments.]

Are you down into zhe apartment? I can be zhere in a few moments.

[anamnestik]

No, I just stopped at a public restroom to fix my make-up... I owe the city a mirror now, I guess...

I'll be fine, really. Bleeding stops eventually. I think.
