What is Caleb Vatore doing in your universe?
I’m sure there is another thread about stuff like this and maybe general discussion is the wrong place but I just wanted to share my current game’s Caleb Vatore story! This is him with my sim Riley an...
Forum Discussion
:D He is doing his best to avoid Bella and Cassandra Goth.
"I also love the ambiance of Forgotten Hollow, Caleb."
"There is comfort in the darkness.
I feel very much at home here."
"You seem to know a lot about us, Cassandra."
"What would you say interests you the most?"
Lightning, thunder, and rain, the perfect weather for Cassandra Goth's mood.
She was still furious from yesterday's dressing down she received from her mother in front of Caleb and Lilith.
Round two started when her mother returned home, but that was nothing compared to being embarrassed in front of people that you are trying to impress.
"#@&#^$! She actually called them leeches to their faces."
It's time to get out of here. She needs to get out there and appear strong to Caleb and Lilith:
She would look weak if she approached them days later like she was in hiding, waiting for the coast to be clear.
Yeah. Risk it.
If she can just avoid walking into her mother while sneaking out...
Wait.
She'd better take an umbrella.
Nobody in the dining room?
Good.
She wouldn't have to go to Forgotten Hollow to find them.
There are other places.

They are here. She initially felt a moment of relief, but now she was feeling panicked.
How was she going to pull this off?
Perhaps with just a look?
"You!"
"You stay away from me!"
"Caleb... that little incident yesterday was nothing."
He ignored her. That wasn't the reaction she had expected.
She was relieved when Lilith came over to sit with her.
"Caleb wants nothing to do with you, Cassandra. Your mother made quite the impression."
"Vampires are afraid of my mother?
I know she can get scary sometimes, but wow."
"Our kind have heightened survival instincts. We can sense which people are merely a trifle and which are dangerous.
Your mother is dangerous, where you are concerned."
"In that case, she will become a protector of vampires instead of a threat, if I get what I seek."
"You want to be turned.
That would indeed make her a protector of vampires.
Well, at least a protector of you. I doubt your mother would forsake you if you became one of us."
"Darklings like you wander into Forgotten Hollow from time to time, but few have what it takes to become a creature of the night. All they have are their fantasies. I do sense determination and a force of will about you however. Traits from your mother, I suppose. You aren't one to be trifled with either. You don't want just romance, you want power."
"But this is problematic, Cassandra. The fallout could be quite dangerous to all involved. You cannot be associated with us, therefore cannot be turned and cannot have the guidance that you would need."
"Nothing can be done? No... I guess not. How can you turn me without being involved with me, Lilith?"
"'No', indeed, Cassandra. I can't see..."
"What?"
"Oh, Cassandra... I've just had a thought."
"What? You know a way around this?"
"Oh, this is brilliant! Count Straud will love this!"
"Count who? Will you tell me already, I am dying here."
"There is a vampire in hiding. He is living in the house of a much respected woman and only a few people know what he is. His name is Zane Delacroix. We can't touch Zane, for this woman has something on the master vampire of Forgotten Hollow, Count Vladislaus Straud. For that reason Peregrine house is off limits to all vampires.
We can't touch Zane, but you can."
"Me? What can I do? I'm not a vampire."
"You have yourself and the Encyclopedia Vampirica. This woman is Miss Alma Faye Peregrine and you can slip beneath her radar and teach her ward, Zane Delacroix, the things she will not. I have seen him. He's quite handsome, and I think he will fall for you, with a little tuning from me."
"Use the Vampirica to teach Zane how to turn you and you will have what you want without any connection with us. The two of you can help each other and explore your powers. Just make sure your mother knows that it was Zane if she discovers that you have been turned."
"Oh my god, it's getting late! I have to get back before I am discovered missing!
But yeah, Zane Delcroix, I know of Meadow Thayer, who lives in the Peregrine house, but haven't had much contact with Zane. Meadow is pretty popular."
"Good. Find a way to befriend the Peregrine household, teach Zane what he needs to know to turn you, and you will become one of us.
After that, your destiny is yours."
"Okay, thank you Lilith."
"Wow, this is it. This is the way"
"Zane Delacroix.. who knew?"
"I also love the ambiance of Forgotten Hollow, Caleb."
"There is comfort in the darkness.
I feel very much at home here."
"You seem to know a lot about us, Cassandra."
"What would you say interests you the most?"
Spoiler
"Uh... your immortality and indestructibility?"
"Uhhh!"
"Hi! I'm Cassandra Goth."
"Lilith Valetore."
"Pleased to meet you, Lilith."
"Cassandra, getting back to what you said before, as wonderful as it sounds, we are not indestructible. I see it as a good thing, because living without fear would probably make a long life quite boring."
"Oh, I see."
"Alright, I will admit that I am only on Volume 1 of the Encyclopedia Vampirica...,"
"...but the book has opened a whole new world for me.
Vasmer Balke is a fantastic writer."
"Cassandra Goth, you get out of that chair right now!"
"Mom?"
"I got a phone call and was told you were here in Forgotten Hollow, consorting with vampires!
I couldn't believe it, but here you are."
"Aww, mom!"
"Don't you... Ug! Get yourself home, now.
If I ever find you here again, four walls will become your world and day and night will become strange concepts."
"These are my friends and you are embarrassing me."
"These are your leeches and I am saving you from being bled dry.
Home! Now!"
"And you, I don't know how you got into her head, but stay away from my daughter, or you may find yourself awakening in chains beneath the ultimate sunlamp."
"Don't you threaten me!"
"I am not threatening you! I am promising you."
"Look, we did not seek out your daughter. She sought us."
"It is you who have to keep her away from us."
"Wow, Caleb, that's one brave woman coming into Forgotten Hollow in a red dress.
My thirst levels have elevated just looking at her. I know who I will be thinking about when I drink. What do you think of her?"
"I think I will be seeing her in my nightmares, Lilith."
"Uh... your immortality and indestructibility?"
"Uhhh!"
"Hi! I'm Cassandra Goth."
"Lilith Valetore."
"Pleased to meet you, Lilith."
