So THAT's why she asked how much he trusts her. (Some of the comments were close, and one person nailed it.)

There is an alternate timeline where she possessed him...

Ghoul may have a potty mouth, but his heart is in the right place.

Happy Independence Day, my fellow Americans! And everyone else is welcome to celebrate, if they'd like! :)

(There are plenty of things to celebrate, like the discovery of particles consistent with the Higgs boson in 2012, or the landing on Mars in 1997 of NASA's Pathfinder probe, or the launch of Japan's Nozomi probe - also to Mars - one year later, or the conviction of Klaus Barbie, the "Butcher of Lyon", for crimes against humanity, or the signing of the Freedom of Information Act in 1966, or the first broadcast of Radio Free Europe in 1950, or the telling of a story in 1862 by Lewis Carroll to Alice Liddell, which would form the basis of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.) :)

Pffhahah! Ghoul, the battery. Amaze.
I just love how chill he is about it, too.:D

Professor Etheric 3rd Jul 2016, 11:42 PM edit delete reply

At this point, he's just going with it. Plus, remember, he trusts her.

junoro 3rd Jul 2016, 11:18 PM edit delete reply

HAHAHA YOLO, why NOT try being a human battery, at least once??? Ghoul's got the right attitude for this work, it seems!

Professor Etheric 3rd Jul 2016, 11:47 PM edit delete reply

Sorcerers tend to have a natural ability to accept that things are way weirder than they have ever thought.

And besides, how many people can say they've done that?

1) Energizer Bunny he is not.

2) Can you... take psychic energy? As in, from the unwilling? Because if that's the case bring on the goons!

Dunno, do vampires exist in this world? Considering what we have already seen I'd guess odds are better than zero, but we haven't seen one yet.

Professor Etheric 3rd Jul 2016, 11:53 PM edit delete reply

@ lirv:

1) No, but he is young and hasn't destroyed his health. He has PLENTY to give.

2) You can. It's not easy, and there is ALWAYS a price. That price tends to be dark. Not so when it is given willingly.

@AC:
I'll give you this one for free. Yes, vampires exist. I will say no more at this time.

anonymous coward 3rd Jul 2016, 11:38 PM edit delete reply

If she does it by biting his neck and drinking blood I will laugh. Discretionary vampirism for the win?

Professor Etheric 3rd Jul 2016, 11:55 PM edit delete reply

...we'll see.

By the way, good call on the siphon theory! :)

anonymous coward 4th Jul 2016, 12:34 AM edit delete reply

Well, it was either that or they were going to have to find a mystic gas station somewhere, and she needed his help holding up the cashier. ;)

I don't know why I thought this, but I can think of a much more... "fun"... way of providing life-giving energy for a vampire to "drink"...

(Must be my perpetually horned-up life...)

anonymous coward 4th Jul 2016, 2:57 PM edit delete reply

If she was going to do that she'd do it to Vincent, wouldn't she? Faux pas doesn't even begin to describe banging someone else at your boyfriend's house.

Professor Etheric 4th Jul 2016, 4:14 PM edit delete reply

@ sigpig: From what I understand, there are two other substances that are chemically pretty much the same as blood. And you are right. Drinking sea-water IS more fun! :D

@ AC: Vincent isn't Mercy's boyfriend. "Friends with benefits" is more like it.

And even if she wanted to, she can't get semen from Ghoul. He's not that kid of guy. :)

This the first time I have....ever....laughed out loud at "YOLO" :D

'...use the lad as a BATTERY?" Hmmm. How many amps are there per unit of snark?

Professor Etheric 3rd Jul 2016, 11:57 PM edit delete reply

I chuckled as we were writing it.

I honestly don't know, but I'm sure the answer is "enough"...

azureXtwilight 4th Jul 2016, 12:12 AM edit delete reply

Ghoul is actually nice!

Professor Etheric 4th Jul 2016, 12:32 AM edit delete reply

He is! He's just snarky and has a potty mouth.

HeSerpenty 4th Jul 2016, 4:40 AM edit delete reply

'atta boy, Ghoul!!!
Aw I'm glad that Mercy is honest with him, and he's still willing to help <3

Professor Etheric 4th Jul 2016, 10:29 AM edit delete reply

She wasn't going to BS him, not over this. It's too important.

While she is honest with him (justifying his trust), he's going to go along with her...
