Undead Have Feelings Too

What's this? Another update on time?! What's the world coming to!!
Actually, I just have time off from work, so I'm trying to get myself ahead in my work again. I had this issue done yesterday already, which is saying something for me. 
Now, since people are probably confused about what happened with Laris and stuff, I'll provide this clarification with some more notes on vampires:
When a vampire bites a victim, said victim is instantly given a special curse of a magical nature, which is commonly known as Vampirism. If the curse is treated shortly after being bit, then nothing will become of the person. They might have a bit of discomfort, but they will remain very much alive and well. However, if the curse is allowed to remain within the body, it will eventually take hold of the victim, killing them and reviving them as a vampire. Someone who has been killed cannot be turned into a vampire by any conventional "biting methods," which is why most vampires will drain all a victim's blood, to ensure they will not rise again.
Such is the reason why vampires are as rare as they are. Those who are bitten rarely live to tell the tale, and those who do usually have their bodies purified before any further damage can be done.
If you've ever played the Elder Scrolls games, then this probably sounds familiar. I always liked the way they treated vampirism in Morrowind and Oblivion, but always felt weird that it was treated as a strict disease. Vampirism seems like more of a magical curse of some kind to me, so that's the road I took.

Which means you all miss out on my mentioning another, less SFW comic of the same name. Grr.Why NOT emphasis?
No news on Ink here, just what was on the forum. I'm probably going to my cousin's 21st in Sydney in August, though, so I may see if I can drop in then, if they'll let me.
thanks, I just remembered it had something to do with potions and blessings...
Personally, it's some kind of plague or disease or side-effect of working with that kind of magic most likely.
I misses you and the rest of the playground!
Ps. any news about Ink?
*is worried and hurting from lack of Playground*
On a more comic related note, This comic is awesome
And nice comic (the ah comic).
GitP forums....I need them..I crave for them....
It's nigh, the OOTSPOCALYPSE is nigh! It is aproaching, and there is nothing we can do, repent, and maybe OOTS shall return! Repent!!! REPENT!!!!....
Well, thanks anyway. And am I the only one who have noticed the new oots comic?

In Oblivion the cure basically boils down to a weird potion. I think it was some garlic, bloodgrass, Argonian (lizardman) blood, and a powerful vampire's ashes.
If all bites transfer vampirism, I wonder what the ramifications will be for someone like Lana who doesn't want to actually kill her victims. And looking at the discussion beforehand, that also means Aldran is perfectly fine with it.
Great to see the comic is speeding up again. Many, many thanks for the work, and for the setting exposition.
Damnit!
So close, and yet so far away...
