on letting a vampire bite her

[demigoddess]

I don't know why you dragged me here, I'm never speaking to you again. And I sure as hell don't want to talk to anyone else about it. [ STARTING NOW. ]

Seriously? I'd buy you a card or something, but I don't think there's any available for "sorry you got bit by a vampire."

[demigoddess]

No, I don't think so either Cissie. [ What was that about now wanting to talk? ] It wasn't that bad I guess... Still nothing I'd do twice.

[alwaysanarcher]

Can't exactly blame you. Does this mean you'll become one too? Or was it one of those weird temporary things?

[demigoddess]

No, no, no, no, no. [ The extra nos are for her more than anything. ] Gods, that would be terrible.

/sorry for being late!

[alwaysanarcher]

[She breathes a sigh of relief.] Oh, that's a relief. I'm sorry, it's just... whenever stuff happens to me in these places, it's usually permanent.

It's totally fine! <33

[demigoddess]

Is this your way of starting in on the story about how you became a vampire? [ She's joking, mostly. ]

[alwaysanarcher]

I don't know about vampire, but it's certainly the story of how I became a pretty darn awesome white mage.

See, if you were bitten by a zombie, I might've actually been able to heal you.

[demigoddess]

So you healed someone then? That's the story? You weren't bitten and healed yourself?

[alwaysanarcher]

Pretty much. I wasn't bit by a zombie, but I healed a couple of my classmates when they were affected.

... Being zombiefied isn't like the movies, though. You just look green, you moan a lot, and you can't really digest food.

[demigoddess]

[ Eugh, that sounds gross. ] How did you heal them?

[alwaysanarcher]

With Esuna! It's like the jack-of-all-trades healing technique. It gets rid of zombiefication, poison, blindness, petrification, silenced vocal chords... [Now she's just counting on her fingers because Esuna cures a LOT of stuff] anger management issues... someone stopped in time... curses... and people in confused states twenty percent of the time.

[demigoddess]

Wow.

And why don't we have people like this back home?

[alwaysanarcher]

No idea. We could've used them a lot... and even now, my party depends on me to keep them out of trouble.

[demigoddess]

Your party? What do you guys do together?

[alwaysanarcher]

Fight, mainly. I'm gonna confess, it sometimes feels like I've been dumped into one of Kon's and Bart's video games. Does the Barge ever feel like that?

[demigoddess]

All I've experienced, minus the vampire bite, was a warped version of Gotham. The Joker had pretty much taken over the city. But I've heard some other awful stories.

[alwaysanarcher]

... There's worse stuff than the Joker taking over Gotham? I'm kinda afraid to ask.
