#and they have a boyfriend who will happily give up his plasma XD

The answer to that is -- yes! Smiler chatted Coty up to Good Friends, then asked politely if they could have a sip, and Coty consented! As I have a mod that changes the animation of consenting drinks, Smiler hit them with their hypnotic powers and went in for the neck chomp --

And as they were drinking, I saw that they’d suddenly developed an angry moodlet. Baffled, I checked it out -- and they were angry because, apparently, werewolf plasma tastes that bad to vampires. Yeah, this is how I knew about the special moodlet mentioned in my Occults Refresh post, and it was a semi-pleasant surprise (semi because, well, I’d wanted Smiler to have a good meal). Fortunately Smiler’s naturally happy/confident moodlets drowned out the anger, and the plasma refilled their thirst regardless, but lesson learned -- while a werewolf CAN donate plasma, they probably SHOULDN’T.

That didn’t mean Smiler couldn’t still be friends with them, though! After leaving the growing crowd at the library with a nice Focused buff, Smiler flew over to the Wildfangs hideout to try their luck with the already-wolfed-out leader, Rory! She too happily accepted this shockingly friendly vampire, and they hung out for a while in the snow, chatting and doing some reading (Rory a werewolf book, Smiler their homework). Smiler was unable to get her to build a snowpal with them, though (game be glitchy, yo), so once she was done chatting, they moved onto a different adventure --

The underground tunnels! I wanted to know if anything different popped up for a vampire as opposed to a werewolf. They ended up navigating the debris to the wreckage of the Old Mill, where they attempted to lift the wheel with their Vampiric Brawn but instead nearly caused a junkslide; heard a lonely howl on their travels and attempted to howl back, only to be met with silence; found some baconite; and located the tunnel that led to the bunker exit! (Which -- also seemed to unlock the portal-potties fast-travel option, but I think that was a glitch.) Not the most fruitful trip through the underground, but at least they got something out of it!

And so ended their trip to Moonwood Mill, with them giving the welcome board a playful hiss before heading off to work. Next time, we stay in Britechester for some out-of-season holiday cheer -- time for Winterfest in July! See you then!
