Changes

So has Retrospec ever changed bodies in a positive way? I woke up this morning, and I was in way better shape. Not that I was in bad shape before, but almost all my body fat is gone. I've got muscle definition and everything. It's like I went to bed and got 10 years worth of exercise all in one night. I'm including this photo since I immediately put on an old cosplay, but don't want to subject you all to my scrawny self without warning. Is this cheating at fitness?

No, same here!

Well, sort of.

Actually, I lost all my muscles but also all my fat I weigh like 90 lbs now. So it freaked me out a little. Well, a lot.

[mincingminuet]

90 lbs?

Hell, that's wild. But no fat and no muscle definition?

How's that even work?

[matchbreaker]

There's some of both, but I mean minimal. Very minimal. The woman I remember being was skin and bones (in a good looking way? which is arrogant to say now, I suppose. just very slight) and could afford to be because vampire muscles don't need to make sense.

But yeah, 90 lbs or so.

[mincingminuet]

Vampire muscles.

So, you were, or are, a vampire?
That explains the bats.

[matchbreaker]

She was and I'm most of the way there now.

[mincingminuet]

So avoid garlic around you?

[matchbreaker]

You know I don't *think* that's bad for me or anything?

I've noticed my sense of smell keeps getting better and better though so it's probable an odor thing.

[mincingminuet]

Crosses? Running water?

You don't sparkle, I hope.

[matchbreaker]

No, no, and no.

And no to silver too.

[mincingminuet]

So all the benefits no downsides?

Cheater.

The sun gives me hives in minutes now and I know in my memories it burns vampires normally and my eyes are so light sensitive I have to have sunglasses all the time like you've seen.

[mincingminuet]

woof. Okay well at least you don't have to worry about that other stuff.

[matchbreaker]

No, definitely.

I mean a lot of its nice, but that and everything related to my diet isn't great all.

[mincingminuet]

Do you have to drink blood?

[matchbreaker]

Maybe.

I will have to? Eventually.

[mincingminuet]

Delightful.

Will a blood bank work?

[matchbreaker]

I don't know. Possibly, but that's still unethical to take it.

[mincingminuet]

And how else do you plan to get it? Willing donors?

[matchbreaker]

I don't know! I'm still working that out, honestly!

[mincingminuet]

Well uh. Good luck? If there's something you need, that, y'know...might help? Ping me.

[ . . . She knows she'll need to cross an ethical line or three eventually. But she doesn't need to now. Now yet. And for all these people offering... she really feels so Awkward for it. So she laughs it off but ,]

Yeah, sure! Don't feel like you have to either.

[mincingminuet]

We'll see what happens. I'm not jumping at the idea, but maybe I can help with something, y'know.

[matchbreaker]

Yes and I don't deny the possibility, but I ought to be able to handle it. It's just good to let people know in case I can't.

But yeah, overnight thinning, it's a thing.
