“When things go bump in the night, I bump back.” An independent portrayal of Elsa Bloodstone. Monster hunter, archaeologist, tea enthusiast, firearms buff.

"Right."

"I'm not that menacing, c'mon."

At this point he's just watching them argue.

"I'm not killing anyone, you can relax."

"That's not among my plans. But who knows, right?"

// listen I spent the night puking my guts out, what the hell happened. When did SHE DIE

// WHAT.

"Then, if I were you, I'd be careful."

And Ben tried to kill him... This is getting interesting. Not in a very nice way.

He frowned. "I didn't lose my humanity only because my heart stopped beating. Why the hell do you think it was two hundred years? I would've been back right away if I was sure I wouldn't kill all of you as soon as I saw you. But maybe you are right. Maybe I'm insane after all and maybe I'm just +

"The fact that you understand why someone would act like that, doesn't mean you have to tolerate it. I wanted to stop him, help him... And when everything happened I decided to take his place. To keep working where he left off. I found errors in his theories, and I tried to fix them so the canon +

"I was trying to protect you. All of you, all dimensions. The other one was insane and I really tried to stop him, /not kill him/. I… It was an accident." He shook his head. Gwen was right after all and… He was even less trustworthy now. "It's alright, I won't ask you to trust me. I understand."

"Yes. I isolated myself in another timeline for two hundred years... I don't remember much of the first fifty years, but I stayed there and I made sure I could control my instincts before returning."

"Okay, so... I killed Dorkula, right? And because he almost split me in half, literally... I died." ... "And because, you know, sometimes a man is almost a vampire, well, after I died I came back and I was no longer human."

"Yeah, kinda. Then I died a few minutes later." Brilliant way of dropping the bomb.

"But he didn't know about most of the stuff I did while in the Society, the bastard was too busy killing other variants." ... "I guess not."

Would Dorkula know that you allowed me to bite you in order to heal me but we fucked up big time for the sake of science? (And Dorkula would've never said Dorkula.)

(Miguel scoffed, smiling under the mask.) I had to take care of my evil variant.

I know, it's me the one who disappeared.

Look who decided to show up.

Is it? Huh.

"Well, you clearly didn't pay attention" His claws dug into Ben's skin, enough to make him bleed. "I didn't know you were the kind of hero who would resort to murder, 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘳... It's not really your style. But what the hell do I know, huh?"

"And what's up with Ben?"

Bricks now, really. You do have a unique approach, I'll grant you that. (Miguel's clawed hand reached Ben's neck and lifted the man as though he weighed less than a feather.) What the hell do you think you are doing?

(The monster took a deep breath... And stepped closer. Hostile.) Wanna know something curious…? If you want to harm a creature with religious faith... You should make sure beforehand they are not an atheist. (He grabbed the crucifix with his hand and pulled Parker closer) I warned you.

// don't worry, I'm cool with it!

(A deep growl reverberates within the vampire's chest.) You should not play with that.

I had... Three humans. Although I mostly consumed their blood.

I'm afraid I cannot comment on the proper nutrition matter.

// oh bsky died again

Where is the priest?

Huh? I uh- (Clears his throat. He's been away for two hundred years...)

He'll be heading to the last crime scene. Avoiding police agents, of course...

"Gabriel has been gathering some information and he suspects the active killer might have a small army of copycats, so your help with the investigation would put an end to this mess sooner."

"I'm investigating some recent attacks in the city. Very... Serial killer like."

"Seems like it. Good to see you, Peni."

What now...

Back to work again.

... He'll figure it out.

«What is it, Ben?»

Would she leave the window open for him...? He figures they won't allow him to enter covered in blood.

No, yeah, I'm fine, I had a lovely meal, actually. Got stabbed and healed, so... All good. I would love a shower, though.
