#dracu-cipher

I finally drew out another idea for Bracula: What would happen if Bill attacked Ericka in Drac's body? While Mavis is rather naieve on her own, I figure she'd lose it seeing something piloting her father around. Especially making him attack her step-mom. Plus, we get more Ericka vs Bill fun AND proud Mama Ericka who knows first hand just what damage a protective Mavis can cause.

Plain text:

B!Drac: Give it up, Sunflower! With that stupid "Zing" out of the way, there's HUNDREDS of ways this body could turn you into a bloody smear on the wall! Not like a weak, deluded fleshbag like you could even kill the REAL Dracula anyway, so what's the point?

Er: Oh, I wouldn't underestimate us fleshbags, Billy-Boy. Check his memory: I'm the Van Helsing that got close to him and lived. I even fooled HIM once. Besides...

Er: Who said I was going to stop you?

B!Drac: Huh? Wha- Who ELSE would-

Er: See, I may not have killed Drac, but I learned some things trying: Drac's Daughter may SEEM harmless...

Er: But she will KILL to protect her father. And Guess who made the mistake of WEARING him?

Er: Go get'im, Hon! ^^

M: Leave. My. Parents. ALONE!!

I was thinking back on a discussion I had with @lovelylivelyv about Bavis and how Drac would never make a deal with Bill and they brought up Mabel.

Now, at first I didn't really think Drac would because he's not trusting enough to fall for Bill and he'd have to possess Ericka or Mavis to pull a Mabel on Drac. Which Ericka would be hard to get to agree to something like that and I'd already done Mavis where he knew it was Bill. Plus, unlike Blendin and his glasses...the eyes would be a dead giveaway right? Dracula would surely notice something like that. And Martha, she's dead. And we don't know if her body exists anyway.

Then I remembered Dreamscaperers and him being able to shapeshift into a perfect copy of Soos and him pretending to be one of Pascifica Northwest's dead ancestors and realized THAT'S a way he could get him. Yes, He would never make a deal with Bill himself.

But he WOULD listen to Mavis, Ericka, Martha, or someone else in the pack. Probably Mavis, Martha, or someone else as I've already used Ericka for Agatha Harkness, though Martha and Mavis are...perhaps the cruelest.

That said, while I feel Mavis is Naieve enough to make a deal with Bill HERSELF, Mavis would definitely notice if her dad started acting strange and get suspicious. Ericka you have the "Evil Drac" moment in the novelization realizing something was up and has been studying Drac for most of her life even BEFORE marrying him. Frank's his best friend, Vlad is his dad, Van Helsing would %500 notice something was up with his formal rival and Johnny...while the Adam of the group, is VERY perceptive at times (and something of an incorruptible Soos.) Not to mention gives him more agency and lets him be more than the goofy idiot little brother/son of the pack he often gets relegated to.

So yeah, I liked the idea of them realizing something was up with "Dracu-Cipher" or "Bracula." Not sure how canon I wanna make this, but like Bavis, it's an interesting idea.

I know. I'm bad. XD

@lovelylivelyv called this "Wholesomely demented," but I got more and worse ideas in this vein. XD
