I guess that's not surprising but I can't imagine there'll be a lot of people willing to get freaky with someone after they wake up to find they've spontaneously sprouted new parts of their anatomy.
I mean I still haven't done anything and all that happened to me was teeth, technically. I wonder if they effect you physically.
Ew. I guess considering where we are that makes sense but it looks like there's a bunch of people having sex on their own. Why try to force things?
No. I lost control and fed on my bf. I didn't want to hurt him, so I ended things.
[ she's also had a whole slew of memories that had been compelled away by damon from her time with him come back that she's still coming to terms with, of being afraid and very suddenly not before she was fed on, wanting to say something when she was asked about it but knowing she couldn't. him telling her how he was going to kill her once he was done with her, and then waking up on the ground outside of the founders party, bleeding and not having a clue what happened, just knowing she'd been scared she was going to die.
she wouldn't necessarily say she'd been reluctant to sleep with anyone since she'd remembered all of that, but she hasn't necessarily been eager to either. ]
you'd think, wouldn't you? i guess they don't care about dubious consent when it comes to their sex batteries, it's delightful isn't it
( Carmilla doesn't like to think much about what her life was like when she was first turned. Vordenberg holding her captive, feeding her thimbles of blood, and expecting that generosity meant he could do whatever he wanted with her.
for awhile she believed it. once she decided she didn't, he kept her too weak to stop him, until she'd finally braved feeding on him, her first meal from the vein.
she thinks of it now, whether she likes it or not. has to, to pull up the perspective of what it was like to be newly turned. )
it gets easier, separating blood lust from the regular kind. being well fed before you fool around helps
I mean, I'd heard about the aphrodisiacs. [ which are bad enough if you don't know what you're eating or drinking. ] I didn't really think it'd go beyond that.
[ silly her, she guesses.
caroline would feel bad if she knew the memories she'd brought up, but reading carmilla's words leave her oddly reassured. she couldn't say why; maybe because she hadn't known her before they'd wound up in the same city and all she has is a first impression, when her friends back home had doubted she'd be able to handle life as a vampire at all. ]
Thank you. I mean, I guess I could have figured that it would. My friend is dating another vampire back home.
[ it hadn't really occurred to her that someone who hadn't been given the ears could be affected, although given the general population maybe it should. speaking of which, there's a cat at her window she's trying not to let in, for fear that being within proximity to the actual cats will cause her to sprout ears an a tail. she's awfully cute, though. ]
A few that I know of. I guess they were more prevalent in town a while ago, like hundreds of years ago, but they started coming back within the past year. I wasn't really aware of them until I became one.
[ honestly, danger of ears and tail sprouting or not, she's pretty close to doing so. ]
IDK. I think it had to do with my best friend, she looks just like his ex. Who killed me to send a message to them. I didn't even know he and his brother were vampires before that.
[ well, she isn’t wrong, but caroline is reluctant to say anything negative about the only two people who hadn’t written her off or ignored her after she’d been turned. ]
Yeah. I’d been in a car accident and was in the hospital. She’d gotten in by pretending to be her, then killed me and was using me to spy on her and her boyfriend.
eh, i'll go with you. if we can't get cat stuff out of the dispenser we'll have to search around
( this is both an admittance she's also been adopted by a wayward cat and that she's hoping she can get Caroline to do the heavy lifting if they really have to search for things. )
[ as promised, it's not long before caroline arrives at carmilla's door. it was fairly easy to find, since it stands out pretty well from the rest of the buildings and apartments in the city (meaning that it's way nicer than her place, or any of the others she's seen so far). the kitten is held carefully against her shoulder, squirming a little as caroline reaches out to knock at the door. ]

do you have cat ears and a tail?
no subject
Do you think it's contagious? [ maybe that's a dumb question, but who knows what this place is capable of? also she's friends with a werewolf. ]
no subject
hell if i know. but if you do get them, you can probably get rid of them with sex. that's how literally everything works around here

you haven't had sex since you turned?
cw: sexual, psychological, and physical abuse

i'm not gonna say you get used to it, but it gets easier to expect and avoid when you want to and embrace when you don't
what is it with undead and old haunts? i've never gotten it, i'd never see styria again if i had my say in the matter
no subject

( tell us how you really feel, carmilla... damn. )
am i getting this right, you were turned by a vampire that looks like your human best friend?
no subject
Yeah. I’d been in a car accident and was in the hospital. She’d gotten in by pretending to be her, then killed me and was using me to spy on her and her boyfriend.

this place sucks, but at least we don't have to be under the thumb of anybody here
( no katherine, no maman, that's a bonus right??? )
could definitely do with less furry bullshit though
no subject
[ it might not be the best time to bring up that she would probably have never found out the truth about anything if she hadn't been killed. ]
Definitely. The actual cats are cute though.
[ a few seconds after that, carmilla gets this picture. ]
no subject
aww. i think you were just adopted, blondie
no subject
What do they eat? Fish?
no subject
( she hasn't tried yet, but she's definitely been adopted herself, so she'll have to figure it out. )
no subject
Okay actually I don't have that much besides snacks, alcohol, and blood. Guess I'm going out.

[ they may have a tag along. the kitten seems reluctant to be left alone and caroline feels bad leaving her without any food. ]
no subject
( and she won't complain about an adorable kitten showing up, either. if anything it will make her Soft AF. )
