[Door Creaking]

[Quiet footsteps]

Hunter: [Muttering] So dark…

[Quiet footsteps]

[Ruffling of sheets]

Hunter: Wait… you’re not…

Lilith: Goddess! They’re here!

[Door Slams]

Hunter: What!? How did you—

Luminita: [Seductively] Looking for someone?

[Hunter screams]

[Luminita cackles]

[Bed creaking]

Lilith: Goddess! Goddess! Did I do good!?

Luminita: Of course, my Lilith… such a good girl. And what a pathetic excuse of a hunter, to flinch so easily.

[Hunter growls]

Hunter: Luma! What the hell happened to you?

Luminita: Hell is precisely what has happened, dear hunter… I’ve given in, you see. My dark urges have finally corrupted me, just as they have corrupted poor Lilith here, and…

[Hunter yelps]

Luminita: Just as they will soon corrupt you, too, dragǎ.

Hunter: Let go of me!

Luminita: Let go of such delicious prey? Why would I do something like that?

Hunter: [Dazed] P-prey!? What are you—

Luminita: Already your resolve starts to weaken. Do you really believe you can resist me? Here, shrouded in the darkness of Satan and Lilith? [Voice grows louder] Come now… just give in, and this will be so much—

[Hunter growls]

[Luminita hisses]

Luminita: SILVER!? How DARE you bring such hallowed material into my lair?

Hunter: Lair!? This is a hotel room! What kind of vampire hides out in a hotel room!?

[Luminita snorts, then coughs]

Luminita: The… The darkness of Satan surrounds you nonetheless, hunter. Submit yourself to it. Look into my eyes.

[Hunter laughs nervously]

Hunter: Is that what you told my friend, monster!?

Luminita: Your friend… And who was that…?

Hunter: Don’t play dumb. His name was—

[Hunter is suddenly muffled]

[Bed creaking]

Luminita: Never mind. I wouldn’t recognize them anyway.

[Muffled shouting from Hunter]

Luminita: Yes, your silver… My Lilith has already taken that off your hands, of course. Dispose of that, would you, dragǎ?

Lilith: Yes, Goddess!

[Sheets rustling and bed creaking loudly]

Luminita: Ah, but perhaps you didn’t notice in your premature celebration, hunter. Does this hotel still seem such a ridiculous place to hide?

[Muffled snort from Hunter]

Luminita: That’s alright, no need to answer. I have no interest in your opinion, and soon, neither will you. Now, look me in the eyes.

[Muffled screaming from Hunter]

Luminita: Oh? And what cause for resistance yet remains? Go on, tell me…

[Hunter gasps for air]

Hunter: [Dazed] You… y-you… S-stop this, you…

Luminita: Oh, so pathetic. And you seemed to have quite the silver tongue just a moment ago. Hardly a problem, though… A befouled tongue is all the better to pleasure me with.

[Hunter laughs vacantly]

Hunter: [Dazed] Y-you… smell…

[Hunter growls]

Hunter: How are you s-sitting there!? My necklace is—

Luminita: The cross is not sovereign in my lair, dragǎ. The Christ will never watch over you again.

Hunter: No! G-get off m—

[Hunter is muffled again]

Luminita: Such virtue to snuff out, and no time but the present to start… [Very seductively] Look into my eyes, you pathetic excuse for a hunter.

[Muffled muttering]

Luminita: There you go… That’s better, isn’t it? Just let the light leave you. It’s easy to fall like I have, isn’t it?

Hunter: Yes, Goddess…

Luminita: Good thing. Now, stand up. Lilith, dragǎ, strip my new thrall bare, and dispose of all their pitiful toys.

Lilith: Yes, Goddess!

Luminita: Good girl. Once you finish, you will kneel and press your head to the ground before me. I’ll play with my food a bit longer, and then you will mark the sigil upon them with their own knife. Serve me well, and you will be awarded the privilege of pleasuring me alongside them.

Lilith: Oh, g-gosh— Um, yes, Goddess! Thank You! I’m n-not worthy!

Luminita: Of course not. But I’m feeling generous.

[Rummaging noises]

Lilith: Yes, Goddess! I’m s— I’m forever in Your debt!

Luminita: Oh, but your utter devotion is all a goddess like myself could possibly ask for.

Lilith: Th-thank you, Goddess…

[Rummaging noises get louder]

[Lilith picks up the tape recorder]

Lilith: It seems they were recording us, Goddess.

[Luminita cackles]

Luminita: Oh, give the recorder here.

Lilith: Yes, Goddess!

[Fumbling noises]

Luminita: Whatever pitiful plan this was to enable… I will be glad to obliterate it in front of them.

[Lilith giggles]

[13 seconds of silence]

Lilith: [Muffled] All done, Goddess!

Luminita: Good girl. Oh, they really do have a lovely body, don’t they… and it’s all mine, now. Wake up, hunter.

Hunter: Wh… God dammit! What did you—

[Bed creaking]

Luminita: Welcome back.

Hunter: I-I’m not— Why didn’t—

[Luminita laughs]

Luminita: You will be mine soon, dragǎ… but I prefer to play with my food, and you’re much easier to play with like this.

Hunter: I… L-Luma, this isn’t funny anymore!

Luminita: Oh, you’ll find it quite amusing once I’m done, shall we say, getting under your skin. You won’t even remember being scared. Lilith certainly doesn’t.

Lilith: [Muffled] Yes, Goddess!

Hunter: No! Luma, this isn’t like you!

Luminita: Is that what you think? Clearly, someone hasn’t been paying attention. Or perhaps it’s your turn to be in denial?

Hunter: Luma…

[Luminita laughs]

Luminita: Well, we’ll fix all that. But first…

[Fumbling noises]

Luminita: I found your little secret… What were you planning on doing with this, hm?

Hunter: I… Exposing you— Ah!

Luminita: Such lovely thighs… So unlike expectations. And yet, you plan on something so simple? You believe the law will save you? How adorable.

Hunter: N-no, I— Fuck— I…

Luminita: Or… is it the others? Do you seek to warn those other fools before I can corrupt them, too?

Hunter: Huh?

Luminta: You know who I mean.

Hunter: I— Ah— No, um—

Luminita: I see I’ve found the truth. But don’t be ridiculous, dragǎ. They will never hear this… They will never see this… They…

[Creaking noises]

Hunter: W-wait, uh— Nn— N-no, I need, um—

[Luminita cackles]

Luminita: They will never see what I have be—

Hunter: Yellow!

[4 seconds of silence]

Luminita: I… I-I…

[Luminita hisses]

Hunter: Hey. You’re okay. Right?

Luminita: [Under breath] W-we… We will continue, yes…?

Hunter: Yeah, I think so. Can you please get off of me?

Luminita: [Growling] Y-yes, of… of…

[Luminita takes a deep breath]

[Bed creaking]

Luminita: [Flatly] …Distance. Distance helps. I’ll have to make a note of that.

Hunter: You never thought of that?

Luminita: There’s a difference between considering something and thinking to write it down. Are you alright, Hunter? Was it the stroking of thighs, or…

Hunter: What? No. No, it’s just…I mean, look at her. Does she even know we’re not still in the scene?

Luminita: I’m… not sure. Lily?

Lilith: [Muffled] Yes, Goddess!

Luminita: We… haven’t done anything in a group yet. But is it just Lily’s… status? Has something changed since I told you about it?

Hunter: No, just… Look, I appreciate you telling me first and all, and I know I agreed to do the thing with pretending you went off the deep end, and pretending to fail to warn the others, but…

Luminita: …Too much in the moment?

Hunter: Understatement of the century. You are going to tell everyone else, right?

Luminita: Yes, of course, I… just told you first because I trusted you to tell me if, er… if I was taking this too far.

Hunter: Yeah, and like I said, it’s appreciated. But, I mean, couldn’t you have asked the people you actually live with? They kind of have the biggest stake here. Plus, we wouldn’t have had to do this in Lily’s hotel room.

Luminita: Jessica and Helen would be too scared of being thrown out.

Hunter: Aren’t you physically incapable of throwing them out now?

Luminita: …Still, I don’t want to—

Hunter: Look, I get it. You don’t wanna address it, because you’re scared of pushing people away or whatever, right?

Luminita: I… suppose that is a part of it.

Hunter: Yeah, I’ve been there before. Wouldn’t recommend it. They go away anyway, it’s just worse.

[Hunter groans]

Hunter: …Yep, there’s why I had to safeword. Always him, and that vampire who took him…

Luminita: …I’m sorry to have triggered that, Hunter.

Hunter: Yeah, yeah, thanks.

[Hunter takes a deep breath]

Hunter: I guess it’s like… I’m pretty much just along for the ride with you at this point. Gave up caring what happens when I stopped trying to kill you. Not that it isn’t weird, just… I’m mostly worried for the people with shit to lose, you know? I can’t give you the straight answer you’re expecting. Okay?

Luminita: …Of course.

[Luminita sighs]

Luminita: Perhaps I shouldn’t be expecting that from any of you. I’ll… let them know by the end of the week. Is that alright?

Hunter: Sure. Fine. I can try to keep it secret until then… But, I mean, you saw how terrible I am at keeping secrets. We talked three times and you already knew about me growing up in Utqiaġvik. My friend didn’t know about that.

Luminita: That’s… fair. I’ll keep it in mind. In the meantime… I don’t suppose you’re ready to start back up? Without the, er… communication subplot, this time?

[Hunter snorts]

Hunter: Subplot…?

Luminita: …Yes. It is a subplot.

Hunter: You are such a terrifying fucking loser.

Luminita: I thought of you the same way not too long ago.

Hunter: Oh my god…

[Hunter sighs]

Hunter: Alright, sure. Green—

[Hunter is suddenly muffled]

Luminita: [Seductively] Well then, dragǎ, we’ll have to get you worked up again, won’t we…?

[Muffled shouts]

[Luminita laughs]

Luminita: Lilith, stand up.

Lilith: [Dazed] Yes, Goddess…

Luminita: Good girl. Now, put that mouth of yours to good use. Pleasure them until they beg to be bitten.

Lilith: Y-yes, Goddess!

Hunter: Wh— Ah!

[Hunter moans]

Luminita: Good, good… both of you. Such perfect servants.

Hunter: B-but I’m not—

Luminita: [Whispering] Don’t worry, you will be, once you learn to ask nicely. Until then, I’ll just have to play with the rest of your body… step on you… make you bleed…

Hunter: [Dazed] You… y-you…

Luminita: Only once your composure is in ashes, hunter… only then will you have my permission to… Ah, hold on…

Hunter: [Dazed] Yeah…

Luminita: [Under breath] Forgot this was still—
