[ After a couple weeks of sitting and thinking on this one, Junseo's decided to pose an important question to the network. ]

How do people become vampires?

[ A short pause where he remembers not to be so human biased here! ]

Or alien people too?

[ There we go, he feels way more inclusive now, as he stares intently at the screen and waits for endless fountains of knowledge to come to him that will in no way conflict. ]

It isn't just people and aliens—

[Oops. Has he already said too much about himself? Maybe.]

[dumbfound]

[ !!!!!

He's not actually suspicious at all, he's just curious. ]

... animals too?

[leonized]

... No, I wasn't thinking of animals.

[Uggggh.]

I don't.... ?

Well, there are AIs here, although I doubt they can become vampires, there's Iron Bull, there's elves...

There's fairies...

[dumbfound]

[ He looks shocked. ]

Elves and fairies exist?!

[ Why is that more shocking than vampires and ghosts which he's already heard about? Good question.

He doesn't even know what or who (an) Iron Bull is. ]

[Um. Does he just go for it.

This was stupid.

Why not, although he's gonna make this private.]

I'm a fairy, Junseo.

What?

[dumbfound]

When did you become a fairy??

[ Is that a thing people can become? ]

[leonized]

I've always been a fairy.

[dumbfound]

The whole time?

[leonized]

Yeah, I don't really look all that different, just—

[He lets the glamor fade that hides his pointy ears.]

[dumbfound]

[ Junseo sits up suddenly and points at the screen, mouth hanging open slightly.

HEY that's right. The first time he met him wasn't that the case?! ]

Maybe it's different in other worlds, but the traditional means back where I'm from is that vampires turn others with their bite. As for where that original vampire came from...

[His voice trails off since he doesn't know how they originally came about.]

video;

[dumbfound]

[ That seems like a deep question to be pondered by someone who has a much, much greater attention span than Junseo does.

He's still caught up on the turning with your bite thing. ]

Yeah, Sasha said that too. Only I don't think that's right. Uhm... I mean...

[ Toby just said that's how it worked on his world, so who is Junseo to say it isn't right? He looked a bit flummoxed as he fails to find a good recovery. ]

[whopperking]

Haven't you seen the movies?

voice forever!

[hisheartsdesire]

[Toby still remembers that time some months ago when Junseo made a network post and appeared to have blood all over his shirt while asking what he should do or something of the sort. Put two and two together, and maybe Junseo is a vampire. Buuuuuuuut maybe he also doesn't want to out himself. Because he didn't say anything like that just now, he's just not so inconspicuously asking about vampires. Of course.]

—Just because it works the same way in more than a few worlds doesn't mean it's the same in each and every one.

Why, how do you you think it happens?

[dejerate]

How do you think people become vampires?

[How is this even a question? But then, not everyone could be expected to know. Not all the imPorts grew up with the vampires and all the way Yuu did, of course.

Which doesn't stop him being surprised at the question.]

You obviously know what a vampire is at least.

[dumbfound]

Some of them...

[ Hey, this guy should definitely know a thing or two about vampires, right? ]

[dumbfound]

[ Nods thoughtfully. Yes, yes, this is a good point. Though it still doesn't help him much at all. ]

Uhm, I don't really know... but not that way probably?

video;

[dumbfound]

Well... not like everyone is saying I'm pretty sure.

[ But he does nod in slow agreement at the statement, even going so far as to point to his own chest during that nodding.

What does that mean? Does that mean he agrees that he knows what a vampire is? That he maybe even knows a vampire personally? That he himself could be a vam--

It's the last one. He's a vampire. He's just a really, really sad excuse for one. ]

Uh-huh.

[leonized]

[Oh, Junseo. Yes. Yes that was true.]

Is it that surprising?
