Carlos hadn’t been to a circus in years – not since he was little. But there had been a raffle at work and Carlos had won a coupon for a free ticket. He kinda hoped that his brother and/or his dad were in town so he could invite them to go with him.

Carlos made his way to the ticket office that was set up, standing in the line with his coupon as he looked at everything around him. Some things were different than what he remembered or imagined a circus to be like, but not everything could be a dated cliche trope he supposed.

Once at the ticket office he smiled and offered the coupon. “Hey… this any good?” he asked in a joking manner.

@partyplanningforsuckers

Skip
blushed at their response and found himself wanting to hide away in a
cage for assuming that the scientist mean poorly, he bit his lip and
brushed it off nervously. Straightening his posture and smiling, “Well- I
don’t know about ‘great efficiency’.. It’s still hard to do and has so
many loopholes and issues..” He shook his head, looking over the two.

“Sorry, I’m so emotional.. It must be all of you humans getting to me
or something, I knew it would be hard doing this with all of this live
blood.. but I’m still trying-“ With a chuckle he rubbed at his own
bitten neck, “Any questions for this blood sucker?”

“So many!” Jayne said with a smile.

“Uh, I think Carlos already called dibs on him,” somebody said. “Shouldn’t we wait for him to present his findings first?”

They started to discuss amongst each other, debating Scientific Integrity and Respect versus Scientific Curiosity. One would wonder how these scientists managed to work together when they disagreed like this.

So at that, the vampire gave a tired huff and leaned up against the nearest wall with his arms crossed. He glanced up to Lore and decided to pull them down after debating whether or not he could get away with an uncontested meal, he would just ask them and hopefully they would approve. So he grabbed them carefully by the forearm and the waist, guiding their levitation down until their feet met the floor.

Then he gave a few flicks to their forehead, attempting to wake up their third eye and brain until he said their name in a low lulling manner, usually giving him the ability to take them out of the trance.

“Lore?”

The scientists suddenly went quiet as they watched Lore start to stir. “We should have taken video,” someone said and they all nodded in agreement.

Lore hummed and their eyes fluttered before they were once again looking at Skip. They smiled at him widely.

“Don’t
worry,” Skip said to the other scientist as he caught Lore in his arms,
lifting them into a bridal hold before slowly levitating them just a
few inches above his hands. “I’ve got a better place,” He seemed a bit
more concentrated now, eyes firm on their body as he let them lay in the
air.

“But Lore wanted to see the show later,” another scientist said. “They were really excited about it. I think they’ll appreciate it better to be here when they wake up.”

The vampire wanted to hiss at their assumptions and drain them just for talking, but he restrained himself and simply shook his head. “Oh no, they’ll stay right here until I say otherwise and whenever I snap my fingers they will know how to speak the Dead Language, Latin.

The poor scientists didn’t know what was going on. But then one of them noticed Lore wasn’t actually touching Skip’s hands as they lay.

“Wait – whoa, are they floating?”

“The gravity didn’t turn off again,” one of the other scientists commented astutely.

As scientists, there was clearly something heavy to be said about their delayed reaction.

“They are floating yes, they’ll stay like that for a while.. maybe they’ll allow me to feed on them,” He cleared his throat and shook his head, “Not that I would pressure them- it’s only that live blood is so much better than old.”

The scientists suddenly grew quiet. It wasn’t a silence of awe, but it was kind of awkward.

“Wait, what?” asked a scientist, looking up from his work. He was just barely catching up to what was going on.

“So that’s why he can hypnotize people so well,” one of the scientists murmured, as if they were about to delve deep in thought with this new revelation.

The vampire glared over at the murmuring scientist and hissed through his thick lips and massive fangs, a lisp in his bow irritated voice as his eyes narrowed on them and grew cold. “Of course I’m good at hypnotism because of my natural need for human blood- I will die without it, now let me be clear here. I am not doing this job to feed- I have no intention on feeding on any of you unless you allowed me to.” He flipped his hair and huffed, rolling his eyes.

“How rude.”

“C’mon, he didn’t mean that,” another scientist said. “Did you, Jayne?”

“Huh? Oh, no, I didn’t,” Jayne said. “I just realized that you were a vampire. Which are known for being able to hypnotize people with great efficiency. Sorry… I meant no offense.”

This whole time, Lore lay still in their invisible bed, sleeping in a silence that was still weirding out some of the other scientists.

“That’s
perfectly fine,” Skip coached softly as he extended his own slender
hands towards theirs and gently clasped them into his, he rubbed the
tops of their hands slowly and soothingly as he continued to speak
quietly. “Now, tell me.. Do you have a happy place? I have a
happy place, and it all starts and ends with your eyes and lips.” He
hummed sweetly, his rubbing motions repeating over and beginning their
work of hypnotism. “Wow, your heart rate is pretty high huh? Relax, take
a deep breath..”

The other scientists were quietly doing work, but some of them were curiously listening in, wondering what would happen as Lore took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh through their noise.

A couple of the scientists wondered if Skip was flirting. The quip about Lore’s eyes and lips? It seemed a little weird.

Skip was flirting, but he wouldn’t advance on Lore even if they asked for him to. Well.. at least he wouldn’t advance on them here, he had his dignity. Though hypnosis for Skip was a romantic thing of great delicacy, it was like handling a creation of hollow chocolate.

“Are you watching me? Can you see my aura? I can see yours, a brilliant clover shade that curls like vines.. curling around your wrists, curling around your waist, your shoulders and thighs.. it moves you, it conducts you.. you are one of thought with the aura..” he derailed softly, “In and out my love, breathe..”

Lore had the urge to giggle, but for some reason they didn’t. They just breathed along with Skip as instructed. They were in a lull with their hands delicately resting in Skip’s.

A distant thought that they could barely hear reminded them that what was happening right then was pretty darn cool.

“Now,” He instructed with a slowly firming voice, beginning a new pattern along their hands to extend directly down their lifeline. “Can you meet my eyes? Don’t blink now, it’ll be a staring contest- just you n’ me.

Lore’s eyes met Skip’s and they just stared at him, unwilling to blink. The other scientists were glancing over curiously. Lore had never been so quiet before.

Then it began to appear that Skip’s eyes were shifting in colors, much like a spiral into a dark abyss that was his iris. His lids lowered and his right hand moved to their cheek, caressing it sweetly. “Give me your weight now, I understand if you’re feeling tired- I can get you a place to sleep..”

The other scientists were confused. That was it? Was it the warm-up over?

Lore immediately seemed to slack and leaned forward into Skip, completely trusting him to catch them.

“Uh… there’s a couch in the break room,” one of the scientists suggested, his voice quiet as he didn’t want to accidentally break…. whatever it was that Skip had done. Nor did he want to wake Lore – maybe the hypnotism exhausted them.
