[ like. supernaturally dead cold. oh, and he also doesn't have a pulse, so. you know. that's fun! ]

I don't feel that cold...

[ somehow daan can get the sense that his face would probably be turning a little red with the mention of the marks on his neck if his blood was actually circulating right now. ]

Yeah, that... I got bitten by some... things... but that was like, two months ago, so...

[ ...Just pressing on his wrist and holding his hand in general.

?????? ]

What do you mean, two months ago? And do you mind if I check your neck?

[ He wants to try to get a neck pulse. What the hell. ]

[ he may check but he will not find one. ]

Huh...? I mean, it's been— how long has it been?

[ Wtf wtf wtf

He drops his hand... also these puncture wounds are like. Animal wounds then?? ]

...Barely a day. I only just say you last evening at the maypole dance.

Um...

You appear to be lacking a pulse.

[ he frowns and rubs his head. ]

Oh... yeah, I guess if it was really two months the ritual would have happened already...

[ well. has daan seen dracula.

he doesn't say much of anything to that revelation. he hadn't realized it, but he's not exactly surprised by it either. ]

...Mm.

[ Debatable whether the movie would exist in his world but you know what actually might exist unironically for real? Actual vampires. So...... well anyway the concept of vampires definitely exists. ]

Yes, probably. Maybe you're suffering the effects of some kind of hallucinogen...?
