To say Gurupada looked unimpressed would be an understatement.
โNo.โ He flatly refused.
Heโd lived through the Raj, he didnโt bow before anyone who didnโt earn his respect. Hell, he probably wouldnโt even if she had.

โฆwould you have stopped it?โ He vocalized his earlier thought a bit.
If he wanted, he could turn her own body against her as well. But at this point, thatโd just be a show of force, and what would he gain from that? No, heโd simply try to find out more through simple questions.
As soon as Gabbyโs eyes once again met him, Evaโs stopped in his tracks and stood straight up. Not that he was embarrassed about his inspecting, he just figured there were likely more subtle ways to go about this.
โThatโs true.โ He responded in kind.

๐ฉธCleaver (Predator Type): Considered illegal among the Camarilla, and inadvisable among the Anarchs. Scott prefers to feed on his friends and family from his mortal life. A fact he is deeply embarrassed by, and refuses to tell anyone else about.
๐ฉธEyes of the Serpent (Serpentis): Scott has a way of keeping peopleโs attention, and that includes forcefully. By looking into someoneโs eyes and activating this discipline, Scott will render the person unable to move so long as he keeps eye contact. He uses it for intimidation usually.
๐ฉธLingering Kiss (Presence): The effects of a vampireโs bite is already intoxicating to its recipients, but Scott is able to ramp up its effectiveness even more. Bite recipients may even experience withdrawals after a few days. Useful for creating a flock of loyal followers.
Disciplines
๐ฉธFluent Swiftness (Celerity): Itโs hard for Scott to be seen lacking when it comes to dexterous acts. He moves with an alien grace.
๐ฉธAwe (Presence): Itโs hard to resist the charms of Scott, as he seems to have a supernatural allure to him. People are drawn to him.
โฆobsessed with getting someone to break their own moral code, that may even include Scott himself if heโs desperate enough.
๐ฉธTransgression (Compulsion): The l dissolution of moral order and inhibitions are what the faith of Set is all about. When the Beast wears at the edges of Scottโs willpower, this tenet of the faith is all he cares about. When falling to the Beastโs influence, Scott may become singlemindedlyโฆ
โฆhe will grow somewhat physically weaker and have a harder time functioning. While all vampires will sustain grievous bodily harm when exposed to sunlight, itโs somehow even worse for the Ministers, such as Scott.
Thereโs a reason his pawn shop has a lot of โmood lightingโ.
๐ฉธAbhors the Light (Bane): Though all vampires have been damned to be harmed by the sunโs rays, it seems that the sinful theology of the Ministry has damned their blood even further to the point that all light is troublesome to them. If Scott is ever illuminated by any kind of light directlyโฆ

โฆcommenced, just to try and make sure he heard it all right.
โWhatโs a spider such as yourself doing with uhโฆmicrophones was it? Didnโt take you all for the technical kind.โ
Another pause followed as he grabbed ahold of the required tool box.
โIs that spider racist to say?โ
Francisco wasnโt an idiot, far from it if you asked him. Granted, he did flunk out of high schoolโฆ
But that wasnโt because he was dumb! Despite that, he was struggling to exactly make sense of what the spider had just said to him.
โUh, sure I guess, little amigo.โ A few blinksโฆ

โฆit ceased. Yet no matter how long after he stopped breathing, he never seemed to even gasp for a brief bit of air.
โYour powers, howโd you get them?โ Evan probed.
Like some sort of archaeologist looking at an artifact, he started to circle Gabby and examine her further.
Had she tried to manipulate his heartbeat? Was that how she discovered that his heart was as silent as a corpse? That possibility made him all the more intrigued.
โYou are perceptive. Well, if the catโs out of the bag.โ
His chest had been rising and falling as normal. Nowโฆ

โฆโAh, it was you! What was that you said, little friend?โ Franciscoโs voice did sound slightly paternalistic. Addressing the spider like it were a poodle who was ugly in a cute way.
@mauricethespider.bsky.social
Talking with animals wasnโt new for Francisco. Heโd created a killer song based on a conversation heโd had with a raccoon once. So hearing a little voice call to him wasnโt anything shocking.
Looking around a bit, Francisco sported the arachnid and saidโฆ

Evanโs slim face was contorted into one of deep study, as he examined every detail of the woman before him as if he were appraising a horse.
โYou can control heartbeats? Did I hear that right?โ The slight tinge of excited curiosity still skipped into his tone.
// Gonna be working up an attempted comeback for myself across my accounts. Maybe some lighthearted banter will help?
Will still be a bit slow getting to responses, but hopefully not as slow as usual!

The irony never quite left him whenever she brought up the possibility of going out for food or drink. Because there she was, his food and drink.
