What will that look like? I've done some reading, but it's hard to be sure what is and isn't true. Some sources say it takes a while, some say it's instant.
I think we're doing kind of a closed ceremony: me, him, Louis. Impression I've got is the process is quick and gory and then you spend an hour or two riding the high as your body shits out mortality.
I don't know if Louis' gonna handle it well, even if I want him there. It brings up bad memories for him. I mean, hey, we fought about this for a week. So. Maybe you can bring him some blood, or organize a massage afterwards or something.
Louis begged Armand to turn someone about eighty years ago, and he wouldn't do it. He'd vowed he'd never turn anyone. So when I said hey, can you maybe ask your husband to break his ancient vow before my terminal fucking illness hits, it went badly. A week on the roof badly.

I haven't met Armand yet, but if you and Louis trust him, so do I.

I guess that makes sense. He didn't tell me a lot about his um
Turning? Is that the right term?
But he said it was complicated.

But you're not telling me for my opinion, are you? Why, then? So I can look after Louis?
I will, of course, but. Why?

I'm giving people important to me a heads up that I'm euthenizing my humanity. Also we'll have to reschedule morning meetings.

Oh. [Immediate mood pivot -- he's important.] Well, thank you. And that's fine, I've been told lately I should sleep in more.
And I'm glad. I mean, it's your life, your choice, but
I'm relieved.

I'm not going to say not to change something about yourself that's causing you pain. Even if it's in a risky, painful way.
[The cosmic parallels are a bit vague, but not lost on Koby specifically.]
no subject
Thanks.
You're a good friend, Koby.
no subject
I try to be. I'm just doing what any decent person would do, and hoping that's enough, most of the time.
Will you come by, when its all
When you're
When it's done?
So I know you're okay?

Louis would tell you if anything happened to me.

You're going to be able to read my mind, aren't you. [Oh god.]

Nothing scandalous, don't worry.
