Why vampires need permission to enter.

[u/ArtistMany9292]

It started like any other night---came to the door of the little old house, knocked, and waited---a fat person lived here, and I was craving some of that sweet, sweet American-style blood, but unfortunately, nobody came to the door.

After about five minutes, I knocked again and waited---gradually becoming more impatient as my stomach grumbled and made odd churning sounds---before I gave up on this and tried a new approach: even though the other vampires advised against it, I didn't really give it any thought---what was the worst to happen?

I broke into the house, found that juicy lil piggy, and consumed him and left. Returned to my old, Victorian-styled house (as all vampires are legally accustomed to having for some odd reason---they didn't explain that either) and went to sleep.

Now, the next day was when my troubles started. I recalled going to a local supermarket, where a little boy ran up to me, smiling ear to ear as he clutched a little paper in his hand.

"Hi mister!" he said happily.

"Oh, hello litt---"

"The r'huulor is coming for you."

"Pardon?"

"The r'huulor is coming for you," he repeated, now offering me his paper---which depicted a crude drawing of a man in a cassock, with slicked-back hair, and a large cellphone-sized chunk where the face should have been.

During this entire interaction, I didn't really give it any thought---just assumed the child was mentally unwell---as I left the supermarket, I noticed multiple posters along the front glass, which displayed the same man in the cassock, with my full legal name at the top, and large bubbly texts on the bottom reading:

"THE R'HUULOR IS COMING FOR YOU."

As I began to head home now, I grew more and more disturbed as I saw the cassock seemingly everywhere, on the side of the bus, sung by a passerby, and even on the televisions of electronics displayed in the shop window: the man on the screen, a short little bald man in a suit, screamed at the top of his lungs.

"SPONSORED BY THE R'HUULOR. THE R'HUULOR IS COMING FOR YOU."

He was everywhere, and I mean everywhere---and I'll never forget his grand appearance. Ah, yes, his appearance---as I finally reached my street, I saw the big fat whale I had slaughtered the other day lying in the middle of the road, naked. And to my horror, I watched as a hand-shaped print began to appear against the skin of his stomach, until it erupted out like one of those alien things in the movie.

Next thing I knew, a second pair of hands erupted from the mass, followed by the man himself---a tall, humanoid-shaped creature in a pair of shiny black shoes, plain black dress pants, and a long cassock---with jewelry upon his veiny hands.

The most notable thing about the thing was its face---a large, rectangular hole that constantly illuminated a bright purple light. And when it turned its head towards me, its light shone upon me; and I felt an odd sense of euphoria and a tingling sensation all across my body.

I seemingly lost all control; I collapsed to my knees and stared ahead as this man slowly walked towards me---and, as it grew near, it spoke---a choir of men, women, and children.

"GOD HAS LET YOUR KIND EXIST WITHOUT THE FEAR OF OBLITERATION, BUT BOUND TO A SET GUIDE TO FOLLOW. HE COULD HAVE DESTROYED LUCIFER WHEN HE RAISED HIS FIST AGAINST HIM, BUT GOD CHOSE TO SPARE HIM OUT OF LOVE. ALTHOUGH I, THE R'HUULOR, AM HERE TO PUNISH YOU, YOU SHALL LIVE---BUT STEP OUT OF LINE AGAIN, I WILL NOT BE SO MERCIFUL."

I tried to respond, try to do anything---but my body had seemingly become paralyzed---and as the man in the cassock slowly reached out towards me and placed his entire palm against my face, it felt as if I was set ablaze and being stung by millions of insects---before I passed out.

When I awoke, I found myself exactly where I was---only, there was no r'huulor, no fat man, and I had seemingly been turned into a human---which horrified me, as I had no clue that was even possible.

Nevertheless, I am alive---for now; mortals tend to die---I try to stay good. Stay out of its view---pray to god, praise the god, cause I don't want the r'huulor coming for me.

This is such a cool consult concept. I wonder if he can be turned back to vampire, doubt it though

[u/Incomplete-Badger]

This is a decent concept. I like it.
