"santa claus" is coming to town.

[The carnival is looking rather festive this evening - or at least, it's looking a bit more cheery than it has as of late. Christmas lights have been strung all around the various attractions, garlands have also been strung, and the cotton candy at the booths have been replaced with candy canes (with real sugar, natch).

[ appears! suddenly! and is totally giving the bandage on your neck a clinical look :|d ]

You all right?

[fuckseptember]

Yeah. Mostly. I thought you weren't leaving your cabin.

[drfeelgold]

I've been getting out and about plenty, actually. What happened?

[fuckseptember]

I was attacked by a vampire.

[drfeelgold]

Mind if I take a look?

[ gestures at your neck ]

[fuckseptember]

Go for it.

[ interestingly, he doesn't remove the bandage! just presses his fingers gently against the side of your neck and closes his eyes ]

Hmm... a lot of blood loss, but the lacerations don't look too deep. Good news is, the bite isn't going to make you a vampire. Also, this might tingle a little.

[ SUDDENLY A WARM, BRIGHT, AND GLOWLY LIGHT SHOW STARTS EMANATING FROM THE HAND ON YOUR NECK as the wound repairs itself, and your body replenishes it's blood volume. good as new :Db ! ]

[that feels pretty good]

I'm not sure we have the same idea of what "looking at it" means.

[drfeelgold]

[ pulls back his hand, letting it fall to his side where his fingers wiggle a moment ]

Sorry, did you want me to ask first?

[ is... genuinely asking that ]

[fuckseptember]

[that's adorable]

No, I was actually going to ask you if you could fix it. Thank you.

[drfeelgold]

Oh, well I- I know there are a number of people who might prefer that I ask first, since my powers can be kind of invasive but given the amount of blood you lost, I thought it would be best if I healed you first and asked for your forgiveness second, if it bothered you.

And no thanks are needed, really. Just try and be more careful the next time you're around camp's vampire population, if you can.

[fuckseptember]

You're making this way too easy for me.

[drfeelgold]

I am?

[fuckseptember]

I appreciate it, but it almost feels like I'm cheating.

[drfeelgold]

... so you'd rather be injured, then?
