Vampires SMP Works In Progress.

I'm excited, and a little tired...

I said before that vsmp will have finished for a year before I'm done with the whole cast...

Opinions on just. How much she missed?

SHE MISSED EVERYTHING it's so funny to me. XD She's over here having a road trip adventure with her writer buddy, and collecting building materials, and chattering about how she's gonna build this and that and the other thing and Cleo's gonna be so happy--

Meanwhile everyone else is experiencing The Horrors.

vPearl doesn't know what genre she's in and it's protecting her better than any plot armor in the world. Antiplot armor. She's gonna be the final girl just because the story forgot she was there.

Empires Joel wishes he had the lore-deflection powers of vPearl.

the entire town finds out the beacons don't do anything when Abolish accidentally wanders through the town borders and then goes back to report it's all a hoax

this happens BEFORE Avid dies so everyone is still alive at this point and the current vampires are: Scott, Owen, Shelby, Pyro, Drift, Avid, Sausage, Apo, Cleo

Pyro, Owen, Scott, and Avid (deemed the biggest vampire threats) are held at silver and stake point (Abolish, who else?) to ensure they will change

Legs volunteers to take Owen, Scott swears on his word (Abolish scares him), Avid follows with Scott, and Pyro refuses so Abolish basically cuffs him and they get back to Abolish's timeline, where Pyro is kept in Abolish's house until he basically loses all steam and starts doing therapy with Abolish to help with their trauma

Legs and Owen are a traveling doctor duo because Owen is slowly healing and doesn't want anyone to hurt like he did, and Legs is accepting that he doesn't deserve to die because there are shades of gray in everyone

they confess/get together after about 3 months of traveling together

it's roughly the late 90s (Legs got to Oakhurst circa 1970s in his timeline, making the war he fought WWII and it being 20 years since Oakhurst is its own completely separate timeline) so Owen is getting used to it NOT being Great Britain in the 14-1500s and instead the US almost 500 years later (so far he thinks it's severely consumeristic and slightly unnecessary in certain capacities but he enjoys it somewhat)

both struggle (it's been over 20 years since Legs has been in the US and modern medicine has changed significantly) but eventually do enough to keep them afloat and moving

NY group have the same timeline as Legs and Owen, but they end up spending the first 20 years all in Europe and some of Asia learning about different things and just enjoying being able to live forever

by about 2006 Avid and Scott have been dating for 9 years and since neither of them really understood engagement they only got engaged about 6 months before we see the snippet of them in 2006

Shelby and Drift are tentatively flirting (it's painful for Scott and Avid to watch even though they DID THE EXACT SAME THING) but by 2010 will be dating

Pyro finally comes to visit NY in around 2009 and is more reformed because of therapy and meds but is still staying with Abolish and just decided to see how everyone was this trip

Apo went back to her timeline, lived a happy life with Cherri (Odysseus and Penelope fr) until about the early 1600s (roughly 40 years after Apo returns, both are in their 20s-30s when they come back) when they commit a Romeo and Juliet, yuri style

Abolish has a weird accident at the agency (someone else's fault, not his) and he still becomes the weird immortal, half-vamp thing (and does a LOT of paperwork)

he likes this new reformed Pyro (Firelocke enjoyers come get yo juice) and they bond a lot while Abolish helps him

Sausage publishes his book, makes a lot of money, and dies at 44 of unknown causes

Martyn and Ren never get together (so they say) but by about 1809 (Martyn's timeline) they are both very old and die within a week of each other

they never lifted Ren's curse but Martyn found it endearing, so he doesn't care

Cleo and Pearl stay in Oakhurst. eventually Pearl gets turned and they become residents/keepers of Oakhurst in their own timeline, which ensures the end of the 200 year massacre curse

anyways back to Bloodletting

by about 2010 (they haven't been to NY yet, it's too painful atm), Legs is in his 70s, Owen looks 25, and they get weird looks on the subways

Legs agrees to be turned after a minor moral dilemma because he's (privately) worried that leaving Owen (like Louis) will cause him to relapse and commit another massacre

Owen absolutely loves getting to turn Legs, although right before he has a panic attack because it reminds him of Louis

after Legs first gets turned, he goes back to roughly his 20s - 30s war-Legs era and Owen is so head over heels

also pearl: literally has dogie ears in her hair

For once I actually had a clear mental image of what I wanted to do. So of course her pose came out more dynamic than the others which is mildly irritating actually it's infuriating, but I know the end result should be good at least.

The redraws and additional stuff should help make up the difference maybe.
