((OOC: I wasn't sure if you wanted Mariel's presence to apply to the degeneration roll or the roll to resist killing Razor. I chose the latter, since the degeneration roll seems to be more of a personal battle. I also assumed feeding required a 4-dice degeneration roll. Let me know if this isn't what I should do.
Also, at Humanity 7, does every feeding require a degeneration roll? Or just this first time?))
Suddenly, Alastair's conscious mind interrupted his hellish pleasure. I am taking this blood from her. She could die. He is not fully sated yet, but he begins trying to pull away from Razor's bleeding neck. He tries to focus on Mariel's eyes and remember her admonitions. Do not kill her. Do not kill her. Resist. Resist. Resist!
Mariel's face comes back into focus with the rest of the room as he finally stops feeding. He stumbles backwards, then leans on the wall for support. He is panting heavily, but feeling healthier and more powerful than he ever did in life.
And it dawns on him. He is strengthened by stolen blood. There is no going back. He has fed on the blood of humanity. He is a vampire.
He steadies his breathing, and takes one more deep breath. He then realizes that all of that was unnecessary. He doesn't need to breathe. There is no reason for him to be out of breath. He is a vampire. And drinking blood is just a part of his new unlife. Hopefully, it is part of God's plan.
He turns to Mariel, and with a breathlessness he only artificially feels, asks, Is it always that good?
((Alastair now has 7 out of a maximum 10 Vitae in his body.))
