Those other doctors certainly picked a very festive time to take me out of my "fictional reality", as they put it. Luckily, I didn't have any plans to disturb. I got a 'Merry Christmas' right before my I'd imagine standard 'Hello, you're fictional' speech yesterday.

Help a poor new arrival out, will you?
On a scale of one to ten: How upset should I be that I'm here? It's so hard to make a clear judgement a place when it's decorated for the holidays.

Perks?

The partial immunity to vampire mind tricks is pretty great. Saved my ass a few times.

[burlap]

Ah, so vampires having mind tricks isn't something made up.

[animator]

Yeah. Not even a little bit. The extent of their power is pretty impressive. It doesn't take much for them to roll someone's mind. The older they are, the easier it is for them to influence you. Just a bad business all-around.

Do they turn into bats?

[animator]

I've never met any that could actually shapeshift, pretty sure that's a myth. I'm sure if they got control of your mind, though, they could make you think they were a bat.

[burlap]

Ah, yes. The mind is a powerful thing once you have control of it. Not likely they do that too often though, if you've never thought they could.

[animator]

I think most of them aren't too concerned with what would probably qualify as vampire party tricks.

If only more people saw mind control or thought-probing as the violation it really is. Thankfully, more laws are starting to go into effect concerning what vampires can and can't do within the bounds of legality.
