Dear Dr Fang,
See, I know this –guy- but at the same time, I don’t know who he is! Is there a possible way to know who he is, or do I have to ask him straight out and flat “Who the hell are you!” Are there ways to go about this situation?
What do you think: should I ‘play’ spy or should I take the aggressive approach and repeatedly ask him who he is?
Signed
Very Confused on What to Do.
Dear Confused:
Ah, love. Or at least lust. My advice would be to refrain from directly confronting him. In most cases, when you repeatedly ask, if the target of your aggressive tendencies is at all stubborn, he will likely dig in and refuse to answer you.
Of course, you could just pin him down, and pour holy water all over him until he reveals himself. While not conducive to a future relationship, it might be fun.
I find it best to ask vampires who know of him. If there’s one thing denizens of RavenBlack City like, it’s dishing dirt on those around them. Yes, there are a few who don’t spread gossip, but those are few and far between in this city. Buy your informers some drinks, after all, drunks don’t watch their tongues as well as sober vampires do.
The other option is to find someone who has skills in investigating ties between vampires. The ID tags can sometimes reveal much, though it’s not always a certain thing. You might not find the Master, or your target may not be a thrall.
Subtlety is my recommended method. That way, if you find out your love interest is a cad; he may not see your just vengeance for his lies coming.
Readers, any other advice for poor Confused?
Sincerely,
Dr. Nash Fang
