I'm sure my world was like yours until the outbreak. The so-called supernatural? For all I know, it never existed before.

[as_damaged]

It just takes getting used to.

[She looks down with the faintest hint of a self-effacing smile. After all, one of her first friends in the City was Cinderella. There's only so much avoiding one can do. But she's not merely reminiscing; after a moment she meets his eyes again.]

You found a cure for vampirism?

[nosferotofu.livejournal.com]

It's a virus. Not magic.

[as_damaged]

[Well, there was that time when House was bitten...]

Do you think it would transfer cross-universally?

[nosferotofu.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, and I'd prefer to not find out. An infected person or bat would have to bite a human. That's the only way of transfer.



But the cure isn't easy.

[as_damaged]

There are vampires in the City already, though; could your cure affect them?

[Talking shop puts her at ease, in a way small talk never does.]

What are you hoping to do?

[nosferotofu.livejournal.com]

Probably not. Vampires are different species, and sometimes it all comes down to magic.



Right now, the cure is transferred through blood. Most won't take it willingly, still, there is a way.



But I won't have it.

[as_damaged]

[Hard to imagine vampires not willingly taking blood, but she's smart enough to keep that thought to herself.]

You're hoping to isolate it? Synthesize it, maybe? [A pause.] There's no guarantee you could take it with you, you know.

[nosferotofu.livejournal.com]

That's it. First, I need to isolate it. And then, I need to synthesize enough for widespread dispersal, so as to avoid sacrificing any lives.



I have the time. Doesn't hurt to try.

[as_damaged]

[Cameron nods, slowly. He's not saying it, but she can imagine the problems inherent in trying to distribute a blood-based cure to people... yes, people, though trying to think of horror-film monsters as people still makes her rational mind rebel a little. She considers it for a long, quiet moment.]

I'll help.
