“This isn’t the Nacha I befriended!” Trisha shouts, scaring Jimmy. Such a soft man, just like his dairy treats. “Fighting for honor, and your friends! The fans love a wrestler who fights for what’s right! They love you!”
“Of course they do!” I scoff. “And now, they will love me more, now that I fight for the OWO - and WIN, unlike you! What wrestling have you done, Trisha? Always hiding behind the microphone, afraid to get dirty like the rest of us!”
“You… you evil vampire!” Trisha bares her too-white fangs in a too-perfect growl, betraying how long she spends in front of a mirror. “I won’t let you corrupt Redcap. She’s our future, not you!”
“She is mine, now!” I cackle as Redcap swoons. “The future is in my grasp!”
“I won’t let this be the OWO’s destiny, even if it wins us the title,” Trisha says.
“Yeah!” Jimmy squares up like the oversized marshmallow he is. He looks to Trisha and nods. “We’ll stop you, Nacha, and bring you back to the light!”
“We challenge you to a MATCH!” Trisha and Jimmy point at me. “This Friday! Live!”
“How bold!” I laugh. “Since you’ve both challenged me, in the spirit of Lucha I must accept. And I have just the partner… won’t you help me, Redcap? After you’ve assisted in chasing after Dama Alta, of course. We will have a busy week, just the two of us.”
“Yes, mistress,” Redcap says, eyes lidded. Oh, I like the sound of that.
“Redcap, no!” Jimmy cries out. “Not the newest member of the OWO! Remember to fight for what’s right!”
“Fight her vampire powers! She’s a new vampire, she’s weak!”
“Fools! Even as a new vampire, I am NOT weak!” I declare. “You have no hope to defeat BOTH of us! Without your CHAMP, Brett “The Threat” and without “Alleycat” Rose Harper, and now with Marv in retirement, you have no muscle to fight for what you call right. Bring all you can muster, Trisha and Jimmy! I say that might makes right- and I will WIN this FRIDAY!”
The lights go out, and I make my escape with Redcap into the post-show darkness.
I have some vampires to hunt.
But first… I’m thirsty. Very thirsty. I know I should prioritize the hunt, but isn’t it one and the same?
1. No, I must resist entirely. I can slake my thirst by getting a very rare steak and some new clothes! This leotard is all ripped up.
2. There are some butchers nearby. Perhaps animal blood will satisfy me. But do I want to become a real life chupacabra? What if it makes me more animalistic? I’ve already torn my clothes like a beast… taking in this blood could push me further down that path.
3. I could pay a visit to a local medical facility and sneak a few pouches. No risk to Redcap!
4. I’m so thirsty… perhaps Redcap can help? Just a taste of her already-spilled blood. It’ll fill me right up, and surely I can resist the urge to take a nibble.
