[ Gavin was a teen at the height of Vine, he Knows Things.
Aw. The happiest weird little hybrid werewolf/vampire family. Gavin scoots his chair over and leans against Hank, purring happily. ]
Yeah. Maybe we need to find some contacts? Probably not hunters but like... shit, I dunno. Are fae real? Fae sound like folks who would know the real dirt.
[ He's good. Maybe he doesn't have the same instinctual pull that they have, but he's no less devoted to Hank's safety.
It's cool though, he's not gonna complain about getting cuddled like this. Though his phone rings from the living room just a moment later. Time to find out who's faster, werewolf or vampire? ]
Shit, that's probably him now. Could one of you get that?
[ Elijah bolts from his seat in a rush to grab the phone.
He bolts maybe a little too quickly. About halfway out of his seat something happens and, well. He abandons his quest to grab the phone. Because he's apparently turned into a bat. Do you think turning into a bat just comes with the knowledge on how to fly? Maybe. Maybe if Elijah weren't so flustered and confused he would be able to but instead he just kinda... faceplants into the ground. And makes a very undignified, very Eli-like groan.
He's so tiny. It all happens so fast Hank barely registers what's happening until there's a black, fluffy ball with wings hanging out on his floor. ]
Holy shit.
[ Hank stands up and plucks Eli off the ground, setting him on one of his big palms. He fits totally comfortably there, too. Holy shit. Elijah's been struck speechless by the whole thing, apparently. ]
[ Gavin's got the phone up to his face and he turns and... his brother is a bat. A bat. After the rush of getting to the phone dies down, he can sense it in his chest. Brother turned into his vampire bat form. ]
Yeah, uh. Give us a minute Connor. Not an emergency just... a thing.
[ Gavin hangs up and heads back over to Hank and his tiny brother. He looks at Hank's palm and... reaches out and pokes him. ]
You're a fucking bat, dude. What the fuck? [ Then he grins. ] And you're so cute.
[ Connor responds with something noncommittal (he's definitely coming over later.) Eli squeaks angrily as Gavin pokes him. He scratches at his face with his claw, or whatever it is. He's got tiny arms and wings for hands. This is super weird. Can he talk? This might be more of a psychic connection thing. ]
I take back anything nice I said about being a vampire.
[ Hank chuckles. Hey, at least you're safe in your alpha's hands, Eli. He'd probably be shaking his tiny, fluffy butt off if he wasn't. Thankfully he can be indignant instead of scared. It doesn't make his little cheeps any less cute though. ]
[ Yeah, okay, those head scratches feel pretty nice. It's hard to fight back when you're small and everything around you is technically safe!! ]
Well it's not as though I was going to shrink with my clothes.
[ if bitty bats could rolls their eyes, he would be rolling his eyes. Hank gives his back a little scritch too. Wow, okay, this attention is actually great. It's too bad he's tiny and this is embarrassing. Hank tries to think back on what he read about shape-shifting. He hasn't tried it yet but... ]
Must be one fast little bat if that's what got you to shift.
Perhaps. In some stories, vampires can turn into mist or clouds of smoke.
[ Which would be kind of cool but kind of horrifying so Eli doesn't really want to think about it. He's also kind of tired of being called cute!! Wow!! You werewolves would be really big and scary if you weren't family. ]
What do you usually do?
[ Eli starts to gnaw on Hank's finger as a form of protest. Or maybe he's just bitey as a bat. His senses are very different like this and it's extremely disorienting. ]
Woah, hey, buddy. Maybe let's set you down on the bed so you don't just change back on my hand.
[ Elijah snorts. It's small and more like a peep but it's what he does. We now know what Ezra would do if he could shape-shift -- evidently do it all the damn time. ]
You guys're twins. It's nothing I ain't seen before.
[ Hank chuckles but he doesn't actually complain past that. He's not in a huge hurry to see Elijah naked. He'll let Ezra take it from here. Though gnawing on Hank definitely is comforting, Eli scoots his tiny little legs and crawls over to his brother's hand. It is unfairly cute. ]
[ Gavin actually blushes a little and makes a little face at Hank. Those are not!! Things he wants to think about!!
But aw, oh no. Eli wiggling onto his hand is really fucking cute. It's definitely some pack instincts too, protect the Small Wiggling Thing That's Your Brother but still. So cute.
He snorts and puts his free hand over his chest in faux drama. ]
Elijah, asking me for help? I'm gonna mark it on the calendar. [ He's teasing, of course he'll help. He starts to head back to the bedroom. ]
Let's see if we can talk you back to opposable thumbs here, tough guy.
[ He is extremely fragile like this, you'd better believe no one else is going to get this chance to hold tiny batty Eli once he figures out how to undo it. ]
Funny. Very funny.
[ Elijah clings to Ezra's hand -- how embarrassing, he's supposed to be the older brother and yet, here he is... It's a good thing he's covered in fur or his embarrassment would be much more obvious. ]
Any time you'd like to start explaining. Feel free.
[ Don't worry, he can sense your embarrassment and it's adorable.
He heads into the bedroom and sits down, gently placing Eli down on a pillow near a blanket. Aw. he's so tiny!! The bed looks so huge. Ezra scratches at his beard as the thinks of how to word it. ]
Well. What helps me is just... imagining how my human, normal self is. How my body feels, how I look and all the connections I have. The things I do. I dunno, does that make sense? Like having having a sense of your self that you know is real. It kind of gets it going.
[ He also imagines how it feels when Hank kisses him, holds him... and another things. Other grounding moments. When it's really bad, he'll stab himself with his claws. He thankfully hasn't had to do that very often. ]
[ It feels huge. Eli's not used to feeling so small. It's not fun. ]
You make it sound simple.
[ Elijah is a genius though, just like his brother. He understands the force behind what Ezra is suggesting so he closes his eyes and thinks back to himself. It's true that he's a vampire now, but he still has two arms, two legs, two eyes and a face just like Ezra's, but leaner and longer. It probably helps, having his brother nearby. After all, what else are they if not two pieces of the same puzzle?
It doesn't take long for Elijah to poof back to himself. It's more of a mist thing—he practically evaporates into his human form, a cloud of smoke that quickly takes human form. Very creepy. Elijah shakes his head once he's back to normal. And yes, he's totally naked. ]
I can write a thesis on it for you later if you'd prefer.
[ He might be... tugging at their connection a little to give him some help. When Eli's form is swathed in smoke Ezra's eyes widen and he grins a little. That's so fucking cool, holy shit. ]
Lucky. When we shift back there's just a lot of bones and muscles popping. Sounds like a meat grinder.
[ And... yes. He's naked. Ezra grunts and tosses a throw blanket at him. ]
Well, now you just gotta work on doing it intentionally.
[ That little tug definitely helps, Eli probably would've been stuck for quite a while longer without Ezra's help. He appreciates it, you know, he's just not gonna say it. ]
Well, I don't know how it sounded, but that felt sufficiently... strange, all things considered. I wouldn't recommend it.
[ How was he still conscious while also being smoke? Is his soul extra strong now? Is he just tethered to Ezra and Hank and that's good enough? It boggles to think about -- if he can just shed his physical form then could he theoretically survive getting staked in the heart after all? It's a lot to think about. Later. He's clearly a little lost in his head until the blanket snaps him out of it. ]
It's not very useful, though I imagine it'd make escape fairly simple if I can figure out how to fly.
[ It's a lot to think about and he doubts human science could easily explain it. Which he knows is going to drive his brother batty (haha he's funny), but some things you just have to... let go. ]
I mean, it's you. I'm sure you'll figure out how to bottle and sell it soon enough.
[ He reaches over and flicks him gently on the forehead. ]
I'll go get your clothes so you can stop being a nudist. [ But then he grins. ] Unless you'd like to borrow some of Hank's clothes...~?
[ Ezra smiles at that. His brother is such a goddamn softie. He knew he'd never want to actually feed from people. Even though he's the richest and one of the most powerful people on the planet, he could easily get his own blood drinking posse together and nobody would ever know about it. ]
Yeah, I think that's a good plan. I can help if you need it. I mean, you can pop a straw in me whenever you need it but I don't think it's a good long term plan.
[ Mwaha!! Getting him to blush is so fun. He tugs on the band shirt of Hank's he's wearing. ]
I mean, they barely fit me, dude. And you're taller than me.
[ He really doesn't want Eli to be jealous, truthfully. It's not like he intended it when this whole mess started. Maybe he'll start to lay off the teasing... it's been a stressful 24 hours, that's for sure.
So he just grins and gets up, heading over to their closet. He tosses an ugly band shirt and some draw string plaid pajama pants. Enjoy that, Eli, enjoy the intoxicating feeling of being covered in Hank's sent. So good. ]

[ He is, after all, the perfect mix of technology and magic. If anyone can update managing pack territory to the year 2039, it's this crew.
Purring is just the new normal for them. Even Eli scoots up and leans against Hank, purring softly. It's definitely different from werewolf purrs. ]
I'm sure we'll find something.

And sorry Hank, are you trying to eat? You've got the Kamski Twins just wanting some good alpha snuggles still. ]

Maybe your special vampire powers are being a speedy bat. Wonder if you could teleport too?
[ As fun as this is, he can't stay stuck as a bat forever. The world's richest man and also a bat CEO, would never work. ]

[ The duality of man. Or Kamskis. He snorts when Eli starts to nibble on Hank. Alpha snack? Comfort gnaw? Why is his brother so cute? ]
Yeah, bed. So you can be under a blanket when you shift back and nobody has to see you naked.
[ You're literally a twin but whatever. He reaches out his hand if Eli wants to hop on over to his palm. ]

As much as your blood did the trick, I'm thinking synthetic blood will be my first project. It can't be that different from thirium, after all.
[ Wow, ow, thanks for flicking him, jerk. Elijah rubs his forehead and goes back to blushing. Jerk!!! ]
I... his clothes would never fit me, don't be ridiculous.

You and Hank would probably appreciate the privacy too, considering.
[ He rolls his eyes. He's jealous! Totally jealous! And Ezra can probably feel it too since they're especially ~connected~ thanks to that blood. ]
I suppose though, while I'm here, it might be alright...
[ please lend him an ugly band shirt, gavin ]
