Starting at a new school, tracking a serial killer, and hiding her thirst for blood is driving Cheerilee crazy. What's a poor undead schoolteacher to do?
Lol, Sneaky way to get readers onto this new story, totally. Still, it means more vampire Cherilee, so I can't even blame you.
What does that make this now....
the sequel of a followup of sidequel to a crossover of a self insert comedy??
Haven't read this yet, but to people considering, would recomend starting with Adventures of Vampire Cherilee --> Night Shift --> this.
The only issue I have here is Cheerilees ability to fake a heartbeat. I feel like the lack of that ability could have been a plot point later on.
That said, I love seeing her blatantly exploit her powers like that. Who needs time and care when you can just beat up a countertop with your face?
Glad to hear you're coming back.
Claire Bennet in Heroes does the same thing in the episode "Jump, Push, Fall". She tries to figure out her roommate's death by simulating jumping, falling, and being pushed out of her window. Except instead of a dummy, she does it herself. (Of course, dramatic tension dictates that she gets caught regenerating on the pavement below!)
>>1153165 That's a great idea, Cheerilee! Way to use your head!
>>1155999 Basically it's a series from the 80's or so about a vampire named Dio and the Joestar family that he has a blood feud with. His powers are a lot like Cheerilees and everyone on both sides is clever as heck. The series focuses on the fights between Dio and various Joestar descendants, all of whom can be called Jojo. I compare the two because, like I said, Cheerilee is both powerful and pragmatic. There's an emphasis on outwitting your opponents instead of overpowering them.
So, I've got a couple of guesses.
1: Considering the excess of blood, and the frequent violent murders, and the nature of the secret agent school teacher investigating the killings, someone's trying to get Vampire Cheerilee in trouble.
2: Note starts becoming antisocial and nervous around Cheerilee very shortly after somepony attacks her violently. Say, where was Note during that whole fiasco? And with Cheerilee always eating alone, has she ever observed his eating habits?
Yeah, most of the main cast have super-human powers. The others are either related to another main character, or achieve powers artificially.
Claire Bennet is a regenerator, including regenerating from death. (At one point a stick gets shoved into her brain, and after the medical examiner removes it during the autopsy, she comes back to life.) Based on another regenerator character who was playing samurai in feudal Japan (and is still alive in the present), she also won't grow old.
Other main characters have electricity manipulation, muscle memory, phasing through objects, "black tears"*, immunity to the black tears*, power amplification, precognition, space/time manipulation, telepathy, pre/postcognitive dreams, flight, power mimicry, control over technology, super strength, water manipulation (including ice), earth manipulation, enhanced agility & reflexes, and power theft (generally includes scalping the target).
* The character begins crying black tears, and everyone around her begins doing the same, they lose consciousness, and then they die. She's accused of containing a darkness that could kill the Devil. Her twin brother is immune to her power and is able to reverse the effects if he arrives quickly enough.
There are dozens of other 'posthuman' or 'evolved human' characters that appear in the show as well.
