So this is a guy I literally just invented right now ( I'm totally lying. He arrived last Thursday. I had a choir trip and I didn't have enough time to do a whole schpeel until now )

What's your character's full name?

um…Alano Diego de Lezo

What’s your favorite quote from your character?

;A;

What does they look like and what's their personality like?

You know Manolo\*? Well he’s kind of like that. Except harder. Alano is bubbly and sarcastic and has this great public persona of being a diva, but if you strip that away, he's super romantic.

What's their backstory before they came to the society?

He is a wealthy kid who spent 99% of his time in a boarding school and later moved onto University, where he met Hen. His family are a long line of high ranking military doctors and they fully expect him to make a career out of it which he sort of did. He went into dangerous situations and treated the patients there. Until one day, when he intervened at a bullfight celebrating his return home. There he got mauled and p much died. He was found by a kind and mysterious stranger who changed him forever\*. His one true passion has always been to study music.

Do you have any pictures of them that you drew or found?

Do they have any nicknames?

:{

What does they study at the society?

He’s a vascular doctor, like Frankenstein, but applied his work to the military. He’s very interested in Victoria’s vocal pedagology work though. Also a minor in Vamprology.

Do they have jobs?

Parajumper, Trauma surgeon, ER doctor, little bit of plastic surgery work. He’s a fantastic seamstress: you want him to sew you up.

What is their age?

About 27

Are they human?

Yes and no.

( \*totally a vampire )

Are they single, dating someone, or married?

He was caught in a love triangle when he was a teen, but lost his object to the other suitor. He’s an eligible bachelor now.

Anything else I should know about this character?

He’s got a magic guitar\*. Also has a weird affinity for raw meat because reasons.

( \*The guitar is a vampire. Alano cut his thumb open when the top E string snapped during tuning and a drop of blood got inside the body, turning the guitar. Please don't touch any part of it with silver, garlic, or holy water if you don't want to see it spontaneously combust.

It also has other magical properties that it was imbued with BEFORE Alano died/ came back. I just thought I'd share this one. )

And he'd TOTALLY be that annoyingly perky Tenor in your stereotypical "Dapper Dans"ish all male Barbershop quartet that I will totally absolutely not set on fire >>

\* For any of you peeps who know "The Book of Life", you know what I'm saying. No Alano is not from that verse though. He just happens to appear to be a love child between he and Alex the Lion because I'm sad and unoriginal ;\_;

(Oh another question plot wise. So since another doctor has appeared to help out Hen, does that mean Hen's physical health [with the tumor and all] is degrading? IS HEN GOING TO DIE!?! DX

Or am I just panicking for no reason at all and we just need another doctor because Hen is over worked between the people almost dying, the injured people, and Catt [cause we all know how much Hen is overworked...but we love him for it].

Sort of both? It's not like he's dying, but Hen's had a couple non HJ7 provoked seizures and typically you're not allowed to perform ANY kind of surgery if you experience epilepsy. Also, Jekyll has many degrees but none of them are in surgical fields, brain surgery in particular. Hen has his knowledge. He's a good doctor, but he's riding consistently on ER skills for procedures that go a bit beyond his expertise. This is where Alano comes in. Alano never particularly wanted to practice medicine, but he did it to maintain his family's reputation. He was schooled extensively but ended up resting on ER skills because that's what parajumpers use. He has all the fancy surgery knowledge Hen doesn't and Hen keeps us alive. Perfect match!

SQEEE!!! I'm so excited to see these to interact!! :D And besides, with Hen able to take care of the immediate trauma and Alano able to do fancy surgeries [and help with the unexpected trauma and damage] the society should be set on hospital care!! :) All we need now is a psychologist or someone to help with all the mental/emotion trauma and we'll be set! [I guess Catt's currently functioning as our psychologist which may be why she keeps getting attacked... :\ ]

Side note: Does Alano know about HJ7 and all the other messed up stuff that's been happening around the society? [I know, he knows about the shooting but what else has Hen informed him of...or is this just spoilers and you're not going to tell me? ;)

Alano is KIND OF like a therapist, but he's more of a motivational speaker. Hen just reads people and gives them advice based on his own personal take. Neither of them are qualified. Now, I think Mattias is a psychiatrist but I dunno how comfortable people would be with him ' 0 '

Alano knows about everything violent that happened, but Hen never told him who. After talking to Alicia, however, he has a feeling this "Hela chick" that he's never met has something to do with it ( He thinks she has DID. There were things that Hen omitted from the letter. Alano doesn't know about HJ7 and Hen doesn't know he's a vampire. Symbiotic relationship!

Very interesting! He definitely has the charisma to do motivational speaking! As for Mattias being the Society's psychiatrist I don't think he would be the best option due to his...unstable nature. :) He's a wonderful character but his mood swings, self medication, and delusions are a bit troublesome. I think if he were to get himself and his life under control he might be able to start helping out as a doctor again.

XD That's beautiful! Both have secrets they need to learn about the other's life! The parallelism!! I do hope we get to see the confrontation between the two as they discover his omitted information. Also I'm assuming he knows about the Hatt, Sozo's bite, and how Catt survived the first attack otherwise that may cause some complications in the surgery between the two doctors.

Alano already is a motivational speaker, he just isn't being paid for it :'D

And I 100% agree with you about Mattias, that's what I was implying with the discomfort. Unfortunately, he's the only one with an actual Psych credential to his name.

Sozo and the Hatt were also omitted from the letter. Hen intentionally left everything out that pertained to the supernatural.

I don't think it will be a "confrontation" per se. Hen and Alano are both pretty chill guys and Ed ( Hen's Hyde ) is a grumpy hermit, so there's like zero chance they'll meet unless Hen is pulled out of remission again. Even then though, they're living in separate bodies but Hen's health affects them both. Ed will probably be more like a rabid dog than his actual self so Alano would dismiss it as the cancer talking. Hen finding out that he's a vampire is a much higher likelihood and he'll poke fun at it for sure.

XD Poor Alano!

Yah, sorry about that I just went off on an analyzing rampage there for a second. I don't know maybe my next character will be a Psychologists just so we can get some help for all these poor souls. :'(

Oh that could be an issue... "We're going to open this girls brain, remove a bullet fragment, and then put her back together. And it's ok if we accidentally harm her grey matter cause at the end of this operation the small boy over there is going to bite her and make everything ok. By the way did I mention that we need to keep this hatt on her foot the entire time?"

Ed??!?!!?!?!?! NEW CHARACTER???!?!?!?! (I'm surprise I didn't see this coming but still my interesting is peaked.) What's he like? They're separated?! LAKSFJSALKDFJ NEED TO KNOW MORE!! D: (also grumpy hermit! X3)

lol! Hen poking fun at Vampirism that'll be hilarious! XD

and he's already making enemies with it :''D

Don't apologize for that! You just said what we were all thinking! We totally need a Psych tho. And not Hannibal because heaven knows we have enough unstable people.

Hen isn't even counting on Sozo coming back, so they're going to go this operation normally. Hen can get around the Hatt issue by informing Alano that it was a formally filed legal request. Probably in her living will because you can't touch those. Sure he'll think it's silly, but he's not going to challenge a patient. So long as he gets the bullet out and the hole patched up, he'll be a happy camper.

Ed's not really a new character, more like an extension of Hen. Unlike Ary! Hyde, Ed has no interest in science and thinks culture is for sissies so you probably won't see him. Be glad.

They're buddies, so Hen and Alano poke fun at each other. Hen would TOTALLY use the vampirism against Alano.

How is he making enemies with his motivational speaking? What kind of "motivational speaking" is this boy up to?!? D:

XD Yah Hannibal would not be the best choice!

Ah ok! I was wondering about that...

Another couple questions for you about the surgery and vampirism though, so Alano seems to be your typical 1800s Dracula vampire (not in appearance or mannerisms but in physiology and weaknesses.) What rules are you applying to him? What are his weaknesses? Does he get blood lusts? Does he have issues with seeing blood (as that could be an issue in his line of work)? I'm just trying to understand how his species works.

Very interesting! Now for RPing questions, as I'm very curious about this, Was Ed in the HJ note Hen had (and gave to Alice)? Also I'm still a bit confused as to they're physical state. You said they're separated but more in the since as an outside extension of Hen, is this right? Also how were the two separated?

XD I hope we can see some of that friendly teasing in action!

Believe it or not, not everyone appreciates hearing a positive message. He's been encountered by some very confrontational people already, some before he even got past the threshold. ( He'll be looking forward to giving them nasty stuff if they come rolling in. ) Once you start insulting Alano, that's when his sass kicks in and he starts throwing shade at you. Any "speech from the heart" in that mode is certainly a patronizing lecture stuffed with mockery, not a feel-good pep talk.

Hannibal would be the death of all of us.

Alano's weaknesses are your typical aversions to sunlight, garlic, holy water, and silver. He generally won't respond too badly to crosses. ( Oops. There goes his Sunday excuse. ) -unless they're made of silver. Also he LOVES to count. Like, he lives for numbers. No joke. As for the blood lust, it's less of a lust and more like human hunger with belly rumbles and all with the nasty catch that he can ONLY run on blood. So long as he's feeding and there's people with undiagnosed HIV out there, he won't have to worry. This, in turn, makes his job easier. If you're dying and you manage to land him as an ER doctor though, he does an interesting thing. He gives you a choice, as he had when he died. You can either die of your natural causes and be turned over to the next of kin as normal, OR he can turn you. Save you from your illness, but restrict you with the same weaknesses he has and also risk persecution.

I don't really know how they managed to separate, but they just kind of did. Sort of. Ed was probably the journal Hen gave her. Along with Hyde and all 42 versions of HJ serum ( He's using it to treat Sara, who is a fourth dimensional being with the same metaphysical properties as Hyde.

TL;DR Since they're both sprung from the Imaginary Realm, the salts affect them both. )

You actually DID see some of that teasing last night.

That makes since. Also sassy Alano! XD That'll be amazing!! (I now want to see a sass off happen sometime though whether or not that happens is different.)

Agreed!

Very interesting! \*jots down weaknesses in notes\*. I also find it interesting that he loves numbers and counting. OCD maybe? Or is just a passion of his? I really like your version of a vampire! It definitely gives them a more humanistic outlook. And I doubt we will ever run out of diagnosed HIV blood (good thing too for Alano). Now I might be a bit worried about his choice for turning others. I understand that it's his own moral guidance (and I like his thought process behind it) but if the vampires are immortal and the number of vampires is grater than the number of humans...well you've seen the books and movies.

Very interesting thank you! Also I'm a bit confused about Sara. I've read your information about her on the wikia and conversation on here but I don't think I have all my facts straight about them.

Ooo!! Exciting! XD

yeah, Alano's a vampire. He's a little different than your typical Hollywood variety though. He's more goofy than seductive and doesn't necessarily condone the stalking behavior exhibited by the more traditionalist sects. He sparkles in the sun, but the sparkles are actually his skin being given immediate third degree burns, so he can't go in the sun. Ever.

I dunno how well he'd get along with Micheal, but it will be interesting to see! thanks for stopping by!

You know, I really like glitter and I like that aspect of the most dangerous creatures being the most attractive ones \*cough Hyde cough cough\* but you can't ignore the fundamental weaknesses of the Vampire, and the Creatures of the Night symbolism is perhaps one of the strongest that pair with them.

and yes, don't be fooled. He's NOT Edward Cullen. You can take him outside, but be prepared to hear him scream like a lobster while you enjoy his (rapidly frying) limestone skin.

He's unfamiliar with the Society's layout so he doesn't know what areas are safe yet. He got his ankle nicked this morning ( curse you Jekyll and your affinity for natural light >\*< 9 ) so he's learning! Hopefully he'll learn faster before people catch on.

I don't think it will be a conversation so much as it is random events.

"...why is your ankle smoking?"

( Alano, with a pained smile, his voice a full octave up. )

"MMMMMbecause I couldn't get it on the patch!"

"I made you Alfredo!"

"Yummy- wait. It has garlic"

"Yeah... That's kind of a crucial ingredient"

( Flatly ) "I don't want it"

"WHAT KIND OF WEIRDO DOESN'T LIKE ALFREDO?! I KNEW YOU WERE ONE OF THEM!"

"Alano?"

"Mm?"

"Why are you counting my change?"

"........."

Haha he...oh that was funny!! XD [I'm still laughing as I type this.] That's great! I can't wait to see these little events build up [and happen]! But I do wonder how he would hold under a direct questioning due to his hesitation in sharing that knowledge with people and friends. Is it because he has yet to accept his vampirism or is it that he's afraid of other's reactions or something entirely different?

(Side note: Does he have an accent from spain when he speaks spanish?)

He would DEFINITELY avoid any conversation about his vampirism. Probably with cheesy puns. If the person persisted, he'd get uncomfortable and make up a surgery that he suddenly remembered he had to get ready for. TBH he's managed to create a blood beater alternative to hunting and he does really well with raw meat, but he's still mostly worried about what other people will do. He's grown up on Dracula and "BURN THE WITCH" mentality, so being in a close minded city with people who are possibly being trained to be demon hunters makes him REEEEEEEALLY nervous.

And yes. He totally has a Spanish accent. I imagine that he has the same accent and smooth sweetness of Diego Luna ( who plays Manolo, surprise surprise. ) But Alano's more of a Tenor than a Baritone. America has this nasty habit of flooding the market with white VAs and the obnoxious northwestern dielect ( seriously, have you HEARD the way we butcher our vowels?? ) So there's really not too many voices to choose from. I'm just going to go out on a limb and say Diego Luna because Discord and Xibalba are CLEARLY the same person so it's totally a thing.

He has every right to be nervous. While I don't think we have any demon hunters in the society (we do have assassins, were-cats, mad scientists Rogue Scientists, Vampires, Ghosts, Extra-dimensional beings, time travelers, cyborgs, aliens, shapeshifters, murders, psychopaths, Wizards, gang members, and a Mz. Hyde) so I'm sure he'll fit right in with the lot of us! :) It's really interesting about the raw meat though and his blood beater as that's a really create way for him to sustain himself. Though it might be weird if someone walks in on him eating a raw steak.... XD I do wonder if he has to get the ingredients for the beater often if so he'll be making a lot of suspicious late night trips out into town...

Sweet! I'll add in the "th"es when I read off his spanish! :) Yah America has such a terrible problem when we go to pronounce words from other languages. Which is even worse since all of our vocab is from other countries. Japanese words don't have any accented vowels but because of 'merica we just have to accent them. Also it makes it really hard to learn another languages accents (at least for me personally). I really need to watch Book of Life now...TO THE VIDEO STORY!!!

Yes but then there's Hela. There's always Hela. He hasn't even MET her and he already knows that she would probably like to see him melt in a vat of holy water. Other than that, he'll start feeling at ease with most of the Lodgers pretty quick here. As for the blood beater, he has a creative solution! Being a doctor, he has access to the blood bank. Since vampires are functionally immortal and "technically" dead, their mojo wipes out organisms, so he can walk away with the rejected donations under the guise of research ( he's not totally wrong. He CAN cure the imperfections. ) without them batting an eye. Can't say the same about the steak though :[

I wasn't even aware of the "th"es. Probably because I'm more used to the Mexican accent. Oops.

American English is just so ugly. Like for instance, the name Manolo looks really weird in writing, but the way they pronounce it is really pretty. Like, there are so many vowels, they actually slow their speech down just to savor the sound.

"Mah-noo-loo"

The way I find myself pronouncing it:

"MinOHloww"

Sounds like a cat in heat >:/

And you should TOTALLY watch it. 10/10 would recommend.

Yah...Hela's not he best example of the society's friendly atmosphere... That's a super cool solution for the blood better with the whole rejected blood! Utterly genius solution! I do hope no one catches him eating it though....that and the stake. XD

I'm currently take Spanish 5 (also known as AP Spanish) and I'm just now learning about that too. I think it's really interesting how the Spanish dialect changes from region to region though it does the same thing with English and other languages I suppose. It also makes learning different when your used to hearing the language one way (with "s" and "z") but then you now need to also understand it another way (with "th"). It's still written the same way just pronounced differently. (Also you have different words and tenses like Vostros but that's a whole other mess of rules and customs.)

Yah English really sucks when it comes to butchering words. We take all these different words from other cultures and then Americanize them and destroy they're personification cause 'Merica! For example many Japanese words don't have accents or emphasis on certain syllables so words like sushi and katana are often pronounced wrong. I really think we owe the world an apology for destroying their languages. I'm sorry world.

Also cat in heat. XD

I took you up on that recommendation and watched it Saturday night! It was really good! I enjoyed the themes of gender equality, importance of family, and contrasting views of the world. It was a very clever movie however I felt it was a bit rushed at the end. I understand that it was a kids movie thus they really didn't have time (since the target audience doesn't have the attention span) to explore the worlds and characters more. All in all it was a very fun action adventure movie with wonderful themes and morals!

Hela is not at all alone in being "the Society jerkwad", but she is by far the most violent. If there's anyone Alano didn't want knowing about his condition it would be her ( and by extension, Helen. Thanks to Alicia for giving him the heads up! ). As for the blood beater, he probably drinks it in a coffee mug and washes it thoroughly after he's done, so most of the Society will probably brush it off as some kind of extra potent coffee ( except for the other vampires, who will probably curse him silently for making them hungry. ) Rachel will PROBABLY find out because she's Rachel and she's the nosy kitchen Queen, but I don't really think she'll care. She's seen weirder. Same with the steak. People might wonder why he never eats anything though so there's that.

I have never taken a day of Spanish in my life ( Google translate is all you really need for small words ) but I like writing the accents in. Natively Spanish Spanish, however isn't easy to translate into phonetics because it's really more like a SUPER THICK British accent. I probably need to listen to more Spanish YouTubers though.

And yes. Cat in heat. I don't like saying his name.

I can totally see where you're coming from. It might be the experience of growing up in a Heteronormative society, but I felt like it was a little too "Str8™" . Like I was disappointed there wasn't more LGBTQA. Do BOTH of them have to chase her? Does she really have to choose either? What's with this creepy obsession with Maria anyway eh? "I "love" you too much to live without you loving back" "if you don't marry me, I'll leave you, your family, and this entire town to die because my infatuation is more important than you or your emotional well being" abusive much??? Let the woman breathe! That might also be why it felt rushed. As soon Manolo gets back, we have a cheesy fight sequence and BOOM! wedding: roll credits.. It feels a little anticlimactic but that's just kind of my take.

Rachel would find out knowing her...but also knowing her crush is a werewolf I doubt she would have a problem though her gossip might spread like wild fire. As for Hela I don't think anyone wants to meet her as she's very...toxic (for lack of a better word) so nothing new there. Most scientists I know (in real life) don't always have good eating or sleeping schedules so we may just assume that he eats when we never see him... except for the steak...yah we're going to need a lot more meat. :)

I wouldn't call my self an expert on Spanish (you might want to talk to mysterious gamer about it more since they are a native spanish speaker). But I suggest using wordreference as google translate does have some incorrect words in there. If you're writing phonetically then I've got nothing to help you other than look up spanish accents from Espana since their accent is different from stereotypical spanish. (I can also send you a link of spanish speakers speaking words in their native languages if that helps. I'm currently using it to work on my accent for class and it's really helpful.)

Words and names can get the best of us! XP

I was secretly hoping that Maria was going to be all like "You're both nice boys but I don't swing that way." and end up marrying some girl...that would totally mess with the bet! XD But as this, once again a kids movie and homosexuality is frowned upon by general society (\*shakes fist angrily at general society\*) I knew that wasn't going to happen. Even with all the girl chasing though she still was a strong, independent female lead which was very nice to see. I love her lines of "I belong to no one", her fighting the bad guys, and the way she makes fun of the boy's sexism. (like when she tries to protect the town and then the boys jump in front of Maria to protect her.) And I agree with you on why it's rushed... Oh well we can't have it all and all movies have their problems.

The rumors might be a problem because those can attract the wrong attention. The Society as a whole is a very socially dense bunch, so a confrontation might go more like this:

😵 "Dr. de Lezo! We know your secret!

😅 " a-ay do you really?"

😣 "YES. Come on man, you're a doctor! You should know better than to treat your constipation with coffee!"

😶 " ....."

There's nothing new, but she's always searching for new victims. If she could find his weakness, she wouldn't even have to fight. All she'd need is one of many life threatening objects and she'd have instant murder.

Most of what Alano says is in English. The only things you'll hear in Spanish are exclamations, pet names, and maybe cuss words. Most of these are elementary Spanish that I am somewhat familiar with, so I can double check with Google. Google's been doing a decent job so far. Where it messes up, I think, is with sentences, phrases, and beyond. I watched a video recently of a native Spaniard practicing his English. The accent was thick but posh and almost Russian sounding. There's no way I can write that without him sounding like "Floooor Delacoor". In... I think book six of HP, maybe earlier, JK wrote in the French accents and it was a huge mistake because it made every character with that accent immediately sound like they had severe mental impairment. Alano will NOT be drooling over his vowels thank you very much. ( I might have to look into the "th" thing though. That's subtle enough to incorporate. )

I dunno, they got away with it in "Frozen". Maria could have very well walked away, even with the betrothal, because she already did that in order for the movie to end the way it did. I don't think that is any reflection on her or Manolo though, because they are both wonderful people ( Joaquin...less so. He gives me the impression of being a wolf in sheep's skin TBH. His behavior has been consistently toxic throughout the story and he's clearly a morally grey character, which undermines the credibility of his capacity for companionship. People like him IRL tend to be abusive :/ ) I think it's just crappy writing.

(This guy sounds/is delightful! I can't wait for him to meet the rest of my crew! Especially Sozo, him being half-vampire and all. :3 And a vampire guitar? How does it eat? I'm loving the concept! He might be able to convince Catt to sing with him, maybe.[at the very least it's a nice thought!]

Ps: I think one or both of the good doctors might be needed to talk to Mz. Hyde who is currently waiting outside the OR. With Catt [I'm assuming] still being under, I can't exactly do much just yet. :T)

So long as they aren't looking to start a fight, Alano will be delighted to meet them! As for the guitar, it has the advantage of not possessing a digestive system, so it doesn't get hungry like people do. However, if it DID need to feed, it could prick you in one of two ways- either by conveniently weakening the top strings just as you are about to play ( which it may do anyway if it doesn't like you. ) Or by growing a thorny plant. Either way will sting, but not harm you beyond that. ( It may even yield you something nice like roses or fruits to atone for the cut it gave you. ) When Alano was giving that speech before they put Catt under, he was itching to tell her to "sing from the heart" so I'm sure he's going to write some subtle lyrics and sing them to her until she gets annoyed with the hints.

Catt SHOULD be waking up, providing that it's been the whole day of the surgery, but she might not be feeling well. We dunno because anesthetic is an EXTREMELY personal experience and no two people tolerate it the same way. I'm sure one of the boys will talk to Mz. Hyde to let her know how it went either way.

(While Sozo does enjoy combat, he's not that big on fighting. Besides that, it's rather awkward to ask someone if they want to spar. So the guitar has a personality? Cool! It even sounds like a pretty congenial one too! Which speech did Alano give? Also what did he mean by "I think you're going to WANT your dreams in a can today judging by what we have planned"? I look forward to the hints and persuasion to sing. It will probably help her recover from the psychological trauma of being shot.

I'm thinking she'll wake up rather disoriented and maybe slightly queasy and a bit stiff before she remembers getting shot/figures out why she's in a hospital bed with bandages on her head. By the way, she won't remember anything after her getting shot when she wakes up. [At least not at first, her memories will gradually come back as she's able to handle them. The nicer ones will come back first.] Any questions or concerns? If I'd had anesthetic I'd use that as a reference for Catt's reaction, but I haven't. Oh good, poor Mz. Hyde is so worried. :< I must confess, I didn't expect Sarashina of all people to try and help. :T I might hazard meeting her yet!)

Alano DID go to boot camp so he knows a little about fighting, but I was referring to the part where your character of choice walks up to him and says "go find a poorhouse. I don't care what brought you to our doorstep, but we don't want you here. Remind me to hit this guy with a hammer." Like Alano can sass back to that, but he's getting kind of tired of it.

Him persuading Catt to sing would be more like "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?"

The guitar is semi-sentient. It doesn't have a well defined personality but there's definitely some character there.

I mean speech as in the feel good pep talk about feelings and taking a moment to notice them. By "I think you're going to WANT your dreams in a can today judging by what we have planned" he simply means "you don't want to be awake during surgery. Y'know, cause we're cutting your skull open and junk" like that was pretty straightforward. Considering that she was motionless for 12+ hours, I think that's a reasonable reaction. A thing I noticed when reading up on anesthesia is that there are three stages ( four if you messed up ). Stage one is where you can still communicate because your body is absorbing the gas. Stage two is violent and ugly because that's when the uncomfortable vomiting and loss of bodily function happen. Then your eyes roll back and your pupils dilate. It was a little bit of a gamble there because Hen had a choice between doing an IV of Propofol or going with the slightly antiquated gas. He figured that she's been poked enough. Judging by what I saw, Catt is extremely tolerant to gaseous anesthesia, so I wouldn't be surprised if she only wakes up confused and a little queasy.

You have to remember that Hen is responsible for Sara, so her room in the Society is his office. She also doesn't understand the meaning of "patient confidentiality" so she sees everything. She's been watching Catt's surgery from the shadows and she's taken a liking to Mz. Hyde, so she's really the only person available who actually knows what's going on. Sara... Sara's a real funny bird. With her, it's a hit and miss. She really likes the brooding witty types and identifies well with yanderes ( She is one. ) On the flip side of that, she does poorly with hyperactive extrovert types and avoids preppy like the plague. She's your quintessential Snark Knight.

(Ah. Yeah none of my characters would do that. Sozo doesn't think he's got the authority and Catt is very good at finding space. [She and Sozo only share a room because he can't sleep alone. He's too used to the barracks where he grew up.]

XD While that song bothers some people, I think it might work on her if she didn't find a place to hide. And she'd be blushing the entire time!

Cool! Does the semi-sentient vampire guitar have a name by any chance?

Oh, that one! Nice. :3 I wonder how I missed that meaning, it was pretty straight forward.

When I looked up how anesthesia felt/smelled like, all I found were first hand accounts of people saying it was like a really great sleep. As far as Catt's reaction, I think it would be pretty safe to assume that the Hatt had a hand in making it go smoothly. Or maybe she is just that tolerant of inhaled anesthesia! Who knows? :T

I'm not sure if the operation would be kept a secret, more that Catt wouldn't want to talk about it because it's unpleasant. If she was asked directly, she'd probably tell them. Then with the gossip chain and everything, I'm pretty sure word would get around. [I was wondering why there weren't more people around. :T ]

Huh, it sounds like she might be an amicable acquaintance for Sozo. He's pretty broody sometimes.

By the way, who is that in the last picture getting their arm sewn back on and "regretting nothing?")

The problem isn't really space. Alano and Hen were already planning on sharing the office before he set sail for England. Even then, Alano's a well respected guy from a wealthy family, so he has money and a reputation- both of which would suffice for either a long term stay in an upscale hotel or rental of a really nice house. ( But Hen's too much of a gentleman to let him do that. ) I think the problem would be more like people copping an attitude with him because they don't like strangers

Alano's a clever lil monkey. He'll add verses if he has to.

If I had to guess the guitar's name, it would probably be something like "la Rosa" because of both its maker and its abilities.

Yeah it sounded really vague, but that was really just a weak crack from Alano. It's at least a little better than flat out saying "I know you don't want nightmares, but we're going to hack your skull open so you'd better take a deep breath of this anyway."

I mean, I've had my fair share of fillings. When I was a smaller child and my parents could afford it, they'd use laughing gas ( Nitrous Oxide) before they even put the Novacaine in. I remember that it smelled very strongly of cherries. Like scented pencil strong. It was so strong, in fact, that it made my sinuses and my jaw tingle. That amount wasn't enough to fully put me under, but it took the edge off my consciousness and slightly decreased awareness. The mixture Catt recieved was Sevofluorane/ Oxygen/ Nitrous Oxide at higher concentrated levels, so it's likely that what we saw was her reaction to the Nitrous Oxide ( they don't call it "laughing gas" for nothing ). I never read the patient accounts, the sites I was looking at were more clinical. Some of them may even have been class material. I'm sure that with an IV, it would definitely be pleasant dreams. Inhaled anesthesia, however, is trickier due to the nature of the gases. Hen suspects that the Hatt had everything to do with her incredibly high tolerance. They managed to have a full conversation before she crashed.

It's not so much about the operation as it is about HIPPA laws. You're not allowed to poke around other patients' business and watching their surgeries is a MAJOR security breech. Sara just doesn't give a who. She'll watch your operation if she darn well feels like it.

I think Sara and Sozo would get along, they have similar combat styles and temperament. Sara's more sarcastic than broody, but she's married to Musicalverse! Hyde who is DEFINITELY a broodfest and she's occasionally looked over by Hen's predecessor, Musicalverse! Jekyll- who also is a pill- so she's used to it.

I'm so glad you asked! About half of the pictures I posted up are featuring our Lodgers, to showcase Alano's personality traits in contrast to other well established people. In that picture, he's patching up Mz. Hyde ( who probably picked a fight with one of Hyde's many partners. )

(I think the most Sozo would do is be stand-off ish with Alano. But he's like that with pretty much everyone outside of a combat scenario.

Heehee! If it goes well, I might have a recording for the scene! la Rosa, that's perfect! :D

That sort of bluntness would've made Catt laugh since it would be so unexpected and she wasn't quaking in fear! X3

So that's why Alano said it would smell like cherries, clever! I must admit, after hearing about laughing gass as a kid I've been curious as to what it would feel like first hand. But I don't think that's an option since I doubt any dentists still use it. Yeah, the Hatt did prevent it from kicking in untill Catt had realised she was supposed to be passing out now. Like a gard against things she can't see or doesn't know about. For example, it would subconciously guide her through a pitch black room filled with sharp objects safely. That kinda thing.

Ah, legal issues. I didn't mean Catt would be inviting people to watch, just letting them know it was happening. Pre-surgery Catt wouldn't mind Sarah not giving a who as long as she came out alive.[Which is guaranteed because Hatt!]

We can have them meet after this arch is done if you like? I'd be interested to see how it would go!

I thought I recognized her! :D You even used the dress! I'm just tickled pink by that, sorry. ^///^ The contrast between him and the other characters is delightful and well represented in all the pictures! Is that jasper singing the F.U.N. song? Who's scowling at Alano in the second image? Is it you?

Eeee! Seeing all your drawings makes me want to co-lab something with you, but I don't know how that would work! XDX )

Sozo being standoffish wouldn't trigger sass, but it would definitely meIt that cheery bravado. Maybe they will even be \*gasp\* real.

That would be amazing. I'll definitely be watching for it ;)

I mean, the guitar isn't formally named and I didn't think about it until you mentioned it but Alano is TOTALLY the kind of guy who'd name his stuff. Alano would have told her in exactly that way, but he's as good at reading people as Hen is and he was reading a lot of hesitation from Catt, so he thought it best to keep his humor on the down low while in the OR.

NO² is actually odorless. The scenting comes from the mask and is typically done for dentistry ( it's actually quite popular even now! ). The doctors both tend towards effeminate behaviors ( as I'm sure you and several others have noticed. Jekyll and Lanyon aren't close for no reason. ). Alano would not be above flavoring his masks to disguise the scent of the sedatives being fed through. He probably has eight more like it in his suitcase. As for how it feels- tingly. Also, that sensation you get when you're running on no sleep. Which is also tingly, but numb. And vaguely not all there.

Hen low key regrets putting the Hatt on as early as he did. He knew better.

Even if Catt was vehemently against it, Sara would probably sneak in anyway. Probably with Mz. Hyde. Maybe with other people who wanted to see it too.

Sara is an elusive creature, but I don't think she'd be averse to an encounter. I'll talk to her about it for sure!

Don't be sorry! Your dress is a fantastic upgrade from the original. Its distinctly Victorian twist was all too appropriate for me not to use.

And yes, that is Jasper e w e

It could work however you want it to! I'd be more than happy to work with you. If the medium is a problem, we could conspire in Google or dA 😃

Le gasp! What could even come of that I wonder? Would Sozo be able to talk about his insecurity about relating to people who aren't soldiers? Would he finally realise he cares for C-\*a-hem\* someone specific? This idea has actually caught my attention now!

Hee-hee! I'll need to know what song to sing and maybe get some lyricless music!

Yay naming things!

Aww, the sweetheart! :3 I wanna hug him!

Ah, fascinating. I have actually tried to go without sleep once, I wound up curling into a ball on a camping chair and fell asleep by accident. It's very considerate of him to scent the masks for his patients.

How would Hen have known better? I had told him that it would work together with the Hatt because Catt was choosing the operation.

How fast would a group like that get kicked out of the OR? X3

Yay! Thank you!

The dress was actually from a picture Mz. Hyde had sent me and said "she owns a green version of this" and I used the image to find more angles for reference. I still have the pic if you wanted to see it?

ewe Cheeto puff can sing! X3

Aaahh! \*is nervous and excited\* Thank you! I didn't know you had a DA, let's conspire over there! My username is theflotinghead see you there? :3)

...Wow. That actually sounds like they may even be friends he may not be able to talk about it, but could he SING about it? 😏 \*shot\* also corny love songs. Much yes.

If you can't get lyricless music, either pick one with midi tracks or I'll make one!

He's very huggable!

I've had a lot of late sleepovers and weird seridian cycles from staying up into the wee hours. Also Benadryl. If you want to feel sleep deprivation, Benadryl will do the trick. It's a really trippy feeling. He could have been MORE considerate. I didn't have to be a cherry scented mask. He didn't even know if Catt likes them at all.

Hen knows the Hart's been keeping Catt alive. He knows the Hatt stabilizes her vitals. He's not a dumb dumb, he can put two and two together.

And the group depends on the people in it. A good portion of Catt's social group are stealthy people, so it would be likely that they could ALL hide in the shadows for a little while.

... Sure! I can never use too many references.

Oh my gosh, you have no idea. So Kim Brooks is a Gospel singer, but she's more of a Tenor. I know that a woman's size has no relation to their voice and singing/speaking can be drastically different, but face it- with Jasper's exaggerated stature, she CAN'T have a light voice.

I introduce my headcanon singing VA:

Jaspers are smoking hot Basses, you can't deny this fact.

I'm the shimmering enchantress, I've been watching you for a while e w e
