Dialogue
Raven: Magus Neron needs to talk to you. He says it's important.
Raven: <Character>? <Character>, please don't... don't say anything about me being bitten.... Not yet.
<Character>: Raven, Neron is actively looking for a cure. He should know. He might be able to help you....
Raven: I can't risk it, <Character>. We're here to clean up, report in, and think before we go out searching again.
Raven: Nothing is going to stop me from trying to save Thursday. I'll meet you at the Magus's lab.
<Character>: ...
<Character>: Magus?
Magus Neron: <Character>! You're back! Don't sneak up on me like that! Did you find Thursday? What happened?
<Character>: We haven't been able to find her. We searched the Darkness Tower, the werewolf camps, and...
*Magus Neron continues writing with his quill*
<Character>: ... the other vampire nest.
*Magus Neron stops writing*
Magus Neron: The other vampire nest?
<Character>: Safiria has established her own nest to the northeast.
Magus Neron: The ancient Queen? Fascinating... She's been a feared creature for hundreds of years but always ruled from the shadows.
Magus Neron: I've always theorised that she was one of the first vampires....
*Magus Neron continues writing, then stops*
Magus Neron: How is Raven?
Raven: I'm here. I'm fine, just worried for Thursday. We're here to check in and then we need to start searching again.
Magus Neron: Ah, Raven. I'm glad you stopped by then, I've discovered a few....
*Magus Neron suspects Raven has been bitten and approaches her*
Raven: .... huh?
Magus Neron: Raven...
*Magus Neron leans in closer to inspect Raven, and she leans backwards away from him*
Magus Neron: It's ok.
Magus Neron: I will find a cure.
*Raven casts an accusatory glance at the hero*
<Character>: I didn't tell him!
Magus Neron: I've been studying these infections for how many years now? Did you really think you could hide it?
Magus Neron: Did you clean the wound properly?
*Magus Neron grabs Raven's arm and inspects the wound*
Magus Neron: I have to rewrap this.
<Character>: Chaney stated we had until the next full moon before she turns.
Magus Neron: Did he order this?
Raven: No. It was... it was my fault.
Magus Neron: Come. Let me show you what I've learnt. We have a little time before the moon is full and we need to know everything.
Magus Neron: I've been studying the blood samples that you recovered on patrol earlier.
Magus Neron: From what I can see, vampirism definitely has a darkness element to it while lycanthropy is light element infused.
Magus Neron: As you know, our blood already contains minute traces of all the elements.
<Character>: Uh... yeah, of course.
Magus Neron: These elemental infusions spread almost virally and appear to alter every cell they come in contact with.
Magus Neron: There seem to be some key differences on the cellular level with how the infusion interacts with the existing elements...
Magus Neron: ... which could explain how a single werewolf bite is enough to infect someone, while in order to turn into a vampire...
Magus Neron: ...it seems to require a complete blood transfer....
Magus Neron: Unfortunately, I just don't have the power to magnify the samples to really see.
Raven: What do you need?
Magus Neron: Unless you have the power to shrink us down to the size of cells, I need to find more powerful lenses. Hmm, maybe gnomish....
<Character>: Well... I might....
*Magus Neron and Raven both turn their heads towards the hero*
<Character>: Just... give me a minute.
<Character>: Hmmm.....
*The hero begins throwing the contents of his/her backpack across the room*
<Character>: Nope....
*The hero continues throwing the contents of his/her backpack across the room*
<Character>: ... that's not it...
*The hero continues throwing the contents of his/her backpack across the room*
<Character>: AHA!
*A penguin shrink ray appears*
Magus Neron: Penguin technology? I... are you serious?
<Character>: Do we have another option? It can't hurt to try.
Magus Neron: I do have a spell that will let me share your vision. I'll need to prepare special slides... We'll need to collect fresher samples too....
Raven: We don't have time for that. <Character>, you... you could look at my cells.
Magus Neron: Absolutely not! Do you know how dangerous that is?
Raven: I've been freshly bitten. What better chance do you have to watch the light infusion as it spreads through my blood?
Raven: If it will help others, help to find the cure, then it's worth it.
Magus Neron: And what if the shrink ray wears off while <Character> is in your blood stream?
Raven: We have to. We might not find Thursday before the full moon and this is the fastest way for you to see what you need to.
Magus Neron: Find Thursday before the full moon?
*Raven and the hero decide to reveal Thursday's secret to Magus Neron*
<Character>: Chaney's been doing his own research too. Thursday... Thursday was bitten as well. She's immune to lycanthropy.
Magus Neron: What? But... but how?
Raven: He's not sure, but... she has magic in her blood.
Raven: Magus, we have to get back out there to find her so if you want to see the... infection in action, we have to do it now.
*Magus Neron closes his eyes to contemplate his decision*
Magus Neron: Very well.
*Magus Neron casts the spell to let him share the hero's vision*
Magus Neron: Are you ready?
<Character>: Absolutely.
Magus Neron: Stand on this. Try not to crush it.
<Character>: Here we go!
*The hero stands on the petri dish, Magus Neron uses the penguin shrink ray to shrink the hero down to a microscopic size*
Magus Neron: Well then...
Magus Neron: Raven, this might sting a little.
*The penguin shrink ray begins to wear off and the hero starts returning to normal size*
<Character>: OH NO!!!
*The hero slashes a cut through Raven's skin and jumps out, Raven shouts from the pain*
Raven: ...
<Character>: Phew.
<Character>: Did you see what you needed to?
Magus Neron: The infected cells... once they've been consumed... the new elemental portion is integral to the cell. I...
Magus Neron: I can't see a way to purge it with medicine or magic without killing it. I can try to drain the magic slowly from the sample....
Magus Neron: Quickly, tell me what you learnt from Chaney. Then I have another mission for you.
*Scene cuts back to Raven and the hero talking to Chaney and Lon*
Chaney: You returned.
*Shows that the four are alone*
Raven: The Magus knows you won't be welcome in town so he's copied his notes for you.
Raven: He wants to work together to try to find a cure, even if it has to be in secret.
Raven: His only requirement is that the werewolf attacks on Amityvale stop.
*Chaney reaches out to grab the notes from Raven*
Chaney: The Rose attacks on the werewolves need to stop as well then.
Chaney: I need my original notes recovered too... did you see a book with a green leather cover?
<Character>: Was it... slightly chewed on the cover?
Chaney: You saw it!
<Character>: Frydae has it.
Raven: Then he knows about Thursday! By the Avatars....
Chaney: We need to recover that book and thoroughly search that Tower.
*Lon growls*
Raven: What is he doing!?
<Character>: What is it?
Chaney: Vampires!
*Five vampires appear before Raven and the hero*
<Character>: Wait! You're the vampire who took us before Safiria. What are you doing here?
Vampire Minion: The Vampire Queen has summoned you and your pets.
*Cuts to Chaney expressing disappointment*
Vampire Minion: Her guest, Thursday, wishes to speak with you.
