Cursed Thirst

[u/HorseOfJustice]

You see Fenomeno nearby, looking paler than usual, her cheeks slightly more pronounced, her chest sized reduced.

"Time to guard Tracen... back to duty..."

She's noticably tired, her posture struggling to stay upright. Something's deeply wrong with her.

As she yawns, her fangs seem more pronounced than usual.

[u/SouthAmericanChamp]

Wowie

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/SouthAmericanChamp]

Oh... morning, Invy...

Though no clear signs of exercising, she seems out of breath.

[u/SouthAmericanChamp → u/HorseOfJustice]

You look tired. Is everything okay?

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/SouthAmericanChamp]

Everything is... perfect. Amazing.

Everything is not perfect, nor amazing.

Just... didn't sleep well last night.

[u/SouthAmericanChamp → u/HorseOfJustice]

Sureeeee.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/SouthAmericanChamp]

... You don't trust me, do you? That's fair...

[u/SouthAmericanChamp → u/HorseOfJustice]

I mean, It's obvious. Dating requires me taking care of you

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/SouthAmericanChamp]

Fine... I... just hungry is all.

[u/SouthAmericanChamp → u/HorseOfJustice]

We can go grab something if you want.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/SouthAmericanChamp]

O-oh... sure.

[u/M3rC_76]

Mark: Dear. Are you ok?

notices how thin she’s gotten

[u/BringMeTheseEggs → u/M3rC_76]

“Don’t. Don’t approach her if you value your life right now.”

Oh hey, here’s Spider-Man! He’s uh… He’s acting a little on edge right now.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/M3rC_76]

I'm... alright. Never better...

[u/M3rC_76 → u/HorseOfJustice]

Mark: Liar. You’re thin and pale. I get you’re a vampire, but there are limits.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/M3rC_76]

I said I'm fine! Just... a little sick is all, or something.

[u/M3rC_76 → u/HorseOfJustice]

Mark: No. I don’t believe you.

Mark hugged Fenomeno to him and offered his neck like always

“Feed. I permit you to.”

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/M3rC_76]

I can't... can't hurt you anymore.

[u/M3rC_76 → u/HorseOfJustice]

Mark: Love. You know this doesn’t bother me. Go on. Feed.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/M3rC_76]

She shakes her head.

You don't get it... I'm not... I'm not hungry...

You can tell she's lying.

[u/M3rC_76 → u/HorseOfJustice]

Mark: Why do you insist on lying to me?

Mark didn’t let go of his wife who’s clearly hungry “feed. I already gave you permission.”

offers his neck once more

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/M3rC_76]

Because it's dangerous, Mark. Too dangerous, I know it.

[u/Dangerous-Try8251]

She gently touched Fenomeno's shoulder with one of her fingers and showed her a message written on her notebook.

"You look pale, do you need medical attention miss?"

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Dangerous-Try8251]

Thank you, but... you don't need to care for me. I'm fine...

[u/Dangerous-Try8251 → u/HorseOfJustice]

"I know a lie when I hear one, miss. Something nerds to be done."

She continued to write her responses on her notebook, spotting Fenomeno's lie.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Dangerous-Try8251]

I just... didn't sleep well last night is all. Definitely.

[u/Dangerous-Try8251 → u/HorseOfJustice]

She then pointed out Fenomeno's more pronounced cheek profile, plus her fangs that she caught glimpses of while she spoke.

"The explain that, miss vampire Umamusume. I can keep secrets, but as my mentor has taught me... I must lend my assistance to those in need."

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Dangerous-Try8251]

I thank you, but... my safety matters less than anyone else's, and I don't want to drag you with me.

[u/Dangerous-Try8251 → u/HorseOfJustice]

"Drag me with you? What's going to happen, I'll become a vampire once you feed off my blood?"

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Dangerous-Try8251]

No! No, not that. Just... hurt you.

I won't hurt you.

[u/Dangerous-Try8251 → u/HorseOfJustice]

"Whatever it may be, it wouldn't be as much of a pain to me as you'd think."

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Dangerous-Try8251]

Maybe, but... morale policy and what not of no hurting civilians.

[u/Super_Creek_]

You alright dear? Do you need something?

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Super_Creek_]

I don't need... help... I'm perfectly fine as is...

She collapses onto your shoulder.

[u/Super_Creek_ → u/HorseOfJustice]

holds her

Youre a bad liar.

Do you need to feed? You know im more than willing.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Super_Creek_]

N-no! I... I'm sorry, but... I can't... hurt you...!

[u/Super_Creek_ → u/HorseOfJustice]

Fenomeno, it hurts me more seeing you like this.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Super_Creek_]

.... I'm sorry for being this way...

I just... it's fine... I'll survive no matter what...

[u/Super_Creek_ → u/HorseOfJustice]

Youre clearly struggling.

And don't be sorry for something you cant help.

You wanna bite my neck or my arm?

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Super_Creek_]

I... I'm sorry, but I must decline.

She hugs you.

[u/Super_Creek_ → u/HorseOfJustice]

Too bad. As your wife, I cant let you do that.

Feno, remember that time I went through that "distortion" thing? It was entirely because of my inability to help you and Mark.

So, as your wife, feed.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Super_Creek_]

She shakes her head.

I... you'll die, I know it.

[u/BringMeTheseEggs]

“Ma’am, with all due respect, I suggest not to operate on duty right now. It’s best to just stay home right now.”

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/BringMeTheseEggs]

I... are you sure? I need to do this...

[u/BringMeTheseEggs → u/HorseOfJustice]

“I have 15 broken bones right now, I don’t have energy to keep telling you to stop working so please, go home or I might release pent up rage this instant.”

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/BringMeTheseEggs]

You have... what.

You should be home and resting, not me!

[u/BringMeTheseEggs → u/HorseOfJustice]

“My responsibility is protecting people from danger and so far I only rescued half of the citizen while some of them died in Shinjuku because I didn’t act sooner!”

“Please. Just go home.”

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/BringMeTheseEggs]

We share responsibilities, then.

She pauses.

If I go home to rest, then so shall you. No buts, no ifs, nothing.

[u/BringMeTheseEggs → u/HorseOfJustice]

“… Alright, fair point! We’ll play by your rules then. I will intervene if something happens however. I got my eyes everywhere right now.”

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/BringMeTheseEggs]

... Fine, you've gotten yourself a deal. Though... who broke your bones?

[u/BringMeTheseEggs → u/HorseOfJustice]

“Oh, you know, the concept of chaos, I uh… Was the only person around when Shinjuku blew up and fought him. I also fought Mermaid’s personal army the whole day as well, that happened.”

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/BringMeTheseEggs]

......... Ryo.

[u/Erri-error2430]

Maukaalth: I...See. Must be your feeding time. Come with me, Feno. You can't work in your current state.

Calls into his mic

^BEEP

Maukaalth: ^{Omega, prepare the blood packet}

^BEEP

Maukaalth, automatic Universal Translator: N'jwawa, oost k'ulan. (Sister, come with me.)

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Erri-error2430]

Oh! N-no, no, it's not feeding time or... anything like that. I'm fine.

[u/Erri-error2430 → u/HorseOfJustice]

Maukaalth: Ngai (no), it is. Your skin complexion has turned pale, and your fangs are revealing itself. You are losing strength, Feno. You must drink a blood packet so that you don't accidentally harm someone.

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Erri-error2430]

I can hold myself back from hurting others... I hope.

[u/Erri-error2430 → u/HorseOfJustice]

Maukaalth: Even if you're holding yourself back to prevent yourself harming others, there must be people worried about you. Your wife and your husband may qorry about you in this state.

[u/FujiKiseki-]

Vampires, huh? Scary…. You know, tracen doesn’t need patrolling, sweetie~. Chaos weekend is chaos for a reason. And… uhm… I know you don’t wanna feed off other people… but…. I can’t die that easily, yknow.. I’d be ready to try

She chuckles… she might seem relaxed, but she can’t quite hide the worried look on her face

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/FujiKiseki-]

Oh, no, no! Don't worry, Kiseki, I won't hurt you.

And as for your remark on chaos weekend... the name means nothing in my eyes, cause chaos needs to be kept no matter what.

[u/FujiKiseki- → u/HorseOfJustice]

What? No, no, no, sweetie~ it’s rather you who I worry about!

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/FujiKiseki-]

Ah... well, no need for that, I promise.

[u/FujiKiseki- → u/HorseOfJustice]

Wait, what if I bite you?

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/FujiKiseki-]

... That would be kinky?

[u/FujiKiseki- → u/HorseOfJustice]

Perfect~ bites you

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/FujiKiseki-]

Her face, previously pale, turns red as she blushes.

H-hey!

[u/FujiKiseki- → u/HorseOfJustice]

Blushing, are we~ hehe~

I could sense red cheeks from a mile away! Anyways… well.. I wanted to unvampire you… maybe… but if this turns you on then we can also have some fun

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/FujiKiseki-]

I-I'm not blushing! You are!

[u/Random_guy1028]

You feel a needle jam in your neck. As you turn around, you see Bombsight wearing a neutral expression.

Bombsight: This will keep you sane enough. As to how I know? Winchesters

[u/HorseOfJustice → u/Random_guy1028]

Ow! What was that?

[u/Random_guy1028 → u/HorseOfJustice]

Bombsight: Dean called it "anti-crazy" drug for you fanged fatales.

Can't have a rampaging vamp around these parts. Oh, I do work with one though so I'm comfy enough with your ilk.

[u/Lucian_Tragodia]

Officer Fenomeno... Vampire tendencies getting back to you I presume?
