I really don't know... the admins tell me it's a bug, the mods tell me it's not a bug but I should write support, I've already written the support and haven't heard back for months, no one is responding to me and every time I reach out I either get ignored or talked down to... 😩
(Perhaps protecting Iggy) --> PLEASE YOU'RE MAKING ME GRIN
"Be essentially bedbound for a couple days" --> Yes, this is probably true... what I'm kinda imagining is that the initial effect is really really strong, with a paralyzing effect that actually leaves them unable to move much at all (depending on the power of the biting vampire). This effect could last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the balance of power between the two vampires. And then once that part fades away, they'd get weak and feel really sick, almost like a really bad case of food poisoning. And this part could last from a few hours to a day or two (again, depending on the balance of power between the two vampires). So indeed if Genzou was bitten by a much stronger vampire, he'd first be unable to move (except maybe crawl a bit) for a few hours, and then after that, get feverishly sick for a few days.
"would they just like, be stuck prone somewhere?!" --> YEAH I GUESS SO LMAO. I guess the initial paralyzing part would be more like a matter of a few hours, and they might at least be able to pull themselves/crawl a little bit if they're in a really horrible place, but they'd pretty much be completely vulnerable during this period. LOL THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I guess they cannot... because only very specific things can actually kill them. However, they'd become incredibly weak and it would be very painful. I think if it went for on for too long they might go into a frenzy and be unable to control themselves/start hunting everything in sight in order to get food and blood??? I still need to fully think through this...
Ahhhh I'm glad you like everything though!! I'm having a lot of fun playing with all the lore and coming up with my own stuff too. I think it's really neat to have all of this already present lore but to be able to "remix" it as you please for your own worlds and stories. And thank you so much for the kind words, that means a lot ;--; 💕
