It’s a full moon tonight. And, just as we thought Louis Catorze couldn’t possibly be any creepier, I am starting to believe that his fangs grow during the full moon.
Now, please hear me out.
Obviously teeth don’t keep growing in the same way that hair does. But something happens to Catorze during a full moon – his top lip contracts, or whatever – to give his fangs the appearance of having grown, in the same way that they look longer when he’s feeling mischievous and playful. And I thought I was imagining it until a few full moons ago, when Cat Daddy said to Catorze, “Look at you, Louis. It’s a full moon, your fangs are out, your eyes are like saucers and you’re ready to party.”
And party he did. Cat Daddy knows this because the little sod woke him with his horrendous, guttural screaming at 1:30am on that full moon night. The sound came from the direction of the Zone Libre outside, so no doubt there was an altercation with some unidentified creature.
Me: “Did you actually see him fighting?”
Cat Daddy: “No, but I heard him. And you just KNOW your own cat’s voice, don’t you?”
We do. Saint Jésus, we do.
The full moon has been associated with both magic and madness for thousands of years, so I see no reason why it WOULDN’T have an effect on an already-creepy, already-moon-sensitive, black vampire cat of extra-terrestrial and/or demonic origin. And, whilst having fangs that grow under a full moon is weird beyond belief, it still wouldn’t be Catorze’s weirdest trait, all things considered.
Here are the fangs, in all their vampiric glory and, as you can see, even when his mouth is closed they still stick out. Long may they remain:

Is it full moon ? Thinks are so crazy over here in The Former Colonies that that hadn’t even occurred to us. Hmm. Well, according to tradition, if Louis bites anyone they become a vampire, he doesn’t become normal.

Yup, full moon! And I wonder if he would become normal if a vampire bit him? A double-negative making a positive?

He can’t help it – it’s his nature.

Yes! The warning noise from Louis is quite helpful.
