“<3 <3”
Cormac? When he loves? Oh, man, is he affectionate. He’s the biggest fan of PDA and loves to shower those he loves with praise and affection. Maybe even too much, but that’s Cormac for you.
He also cooks for those he loves, and he’s pretty decent at it. He’s a ghoul and he eats a lot, but he also gets bored of eating in the same style too much so he’s learnt cooking techniques from all around the world and he likes to show off.
What are you afraid of? (Botanyandbrilliance)
Being alone. I've had many friends and I’ve lived for a while, but the clock keeps ticking for most mortals and I don’t really know many people that can ignore the passage of time.
Interview meme - what makes you laugh? , describe love , tell me one truth and one lie , do you need a hug? , when was the last time you cried?
What makes you laugh?
Bad jokes, the worse the more I laugh. I’m also a great fan of comedy, and I also tend to laugh after crashing down from a lot of stress.
Describe love
The desire to see a person happy and the wish to see them happy by your side. Probably. I don’t have a lot of experience, you know, being a Ghoul surrounded by humans.
Tell me one truth and one lie
I loathe cheese and I once ended up in a furry convention instead of in a medical convention.
Do you need a hug?
I’d like it, but I’m kind of happy with my life now
When was the last time you cried?
There was a person in a really bad accident and it all looked pretty bad. Twenty hours later they were on the road to recovery. I was so proud of all the team that I may have let out a couple of tears.

Vadoma’s eyes slid over to the man who’d spoken, her lips pursing ever so slightly. “Is cryptic, da?” A small, but surprisingly unstress smiled touched those lips as she shrugged. “Is not first rodeo. Am not sure exactly what happens here,” one hand moved to gesture to the entirety of their locale, “but will be fine. Possibly you too, if you are not getting lost.”
@ghoulsurgeon
The man across the table from her didn’t seem inclined to share any of the story, which gave Vadoma the distinct impression that he didn’t plan to. Which was fine. That could really only mean that the story didn’t have parts that could be shared. Some stories were just like that. Hell, there were parts of her own life she’d prefer to not share, and that was a tale of her own.
Mac being angry, though, that was something that caused both of the small woman’s eyebrows to raise. Everyone got angry every once in a while. That was a part of the human condition that couldn’t be avoided. Man had been crated in God’s image, after all, and the Bible was full of examples of God losing His temper. “Really? Am having difficult time imagining Mac in state of upset. Was thinking perhaps is neutral ground. It has… right feeling for being so.” Her brows furrowed as they came back down and she leaned a little closer to the man, voice dropping to just above a whisper. “When are saying ‘repercussions’…. what sort of this is being meant?”
Repercussions were usually pretty severe, particularly if there had been a violation of the peace on Accorded Neutral Ground. If the White Court had been the violators, Vadoma might just keep an ear out for who had done the deed and where the might be found. She had no love for the White Court. Finding something to hunt down might be fun.
Shaking her head a little, she started to lean back in her seat once again. “White Court are… “ she hesitated. She couldn’t say stupid, because they weren’t stupid. They were, however, monsters. “… White Court,” she finished, for lack of a better descriptor. “Any idea of what is planned for finding aggressors?”
Cormac didn’t really grin, but his smile was genuine and wide enough to come close to qualifying. “It was impressive. And slightly disquieting. But they broke one of the taboos of the place, and the White Court will probably have to settle the whole matter. Maybe an apology, maybe something more serious. Nobody knows as of yet.”
Supernatural politics were, after all, quite complicated. Cormac didn’t understand all of the details, and he’d been around for some time.
“I’m not really sure about what they’ll do, I’m not that knowledgeable. They’ll either solve it internally or the Unseelie Court will do something. Why do you ask?” He added. “Are you some kind of bounty hunter?”

“Wh-who are you? Where are we? Why are we tied up together?!” “You almost killed me, so no, it’s not nice to meet you.” “Oh my god, are you okay? Should I call an ambulance?” “I wondered when you were going to wake up. You almost didn’t survive.” “Get out of my way before I move you myself.” “Please, let me out of here!” “You’re staring like you’ve never seen a [monster/vampire/demon/etc] before.” “Hey. Pretend you were waiting for me. You’re being followed.” “You don’t know me, but something terrible is going to happen.” “You’re in the wrong place at the wrong time.” “Please, someone help!” “You shouldn’t be out here all by yourself this late at night.” “Stop shining that flashlight on me! I’m not a damn ghost!” “I’m sorry if I hurt you.” “Shh, don’t scream! I’m not trying to attack you!” “I’ve never seen anything like you before.” “Stand right there and don’t get any closer!” “Now that you’ve seen this, I can’t let you leave and just tell anyone.” “Ugh, my head. What happened to us?” “Is there a reason you’ve been following me for an hour?” “If you come near me, I will scream at the top of my lungs.” “Holy shit. What have you done?!” “Is that blood? Is that YOUR blood?” “Don’t panic, I can explain!” “I promise you, this isn’t what it looks like.” “I won’t hurt you if you just keep your mouth shut.” “Who are you? Where are you taking me?!” “This is for your own safety. I’ll explain later.” “What the hell was that thing back there?!” “There’s something wrong with me. I need your help!” “Please, someone, there’s been an emergency!” “You can’t leave. You’re a witness and now you’ve involved.” “I’m being hunted, and now they’ve seen you too.” “If you believe in any god, I suggest praying to them now.” “Shh! Hide here, and don’t move a muscle.” “Can I walk with you? I think I’m being followed.” “I’m so sorry. I don’t like tricking people, but I had to lure you here.” “Fuck off, this is private property!” “I’ve seen some weird shit, but you’re something else.” “Oh my god. Are you a [monster/demon/angel/etc]?” “Don’t look at me like that, with those eyes.” “That isn’t your blood. What did you do?” “I promise not to tell anyone, just let me go!” “Come with me. I want to show you something.” “You’re not going to eat me, are you?” “You should never have approached me. You don’t know who you’re dealing with.” “Go away, I’m not looking for a conversation.” “You don’t just follow people to their homes! I’m calling the police.” “Please, I’ll do anything, just untie me!” “I’m sorry if I scared you.” “I had to tie you up. You didn’t leave me any other choice.” “I don’t even know you. What do you mean, I ‘have’ to go with you?” “We almost died back there. Maybe we should introduce ourselves.” “Let go of me!” “I’m hurt. Please, I need you to call an ambulance for me.” “You have to come with me, something bad is about to happen!” “I’m not leaving until you tell me why you’ve been following me!” “Seeing as we may not survive, I should tell you my name. It’s [name].”

Her head tilted a bit to the side, some disappointment flickering across her features. Hands that were covered by black gloves made of a light and soft looking leather picked up the bottle of beer in front of her. In spite of the disappointment, she could appreciate his ability to not share a story that belonged to someone else.
Inclining her head a little to show that there were no hard feelings, she took a sip from her bottle. “Is sad. Am fond of stories, but is understandable. Is bad form to be giving away details of story that is belonging to another.” Raising her bottle slightly in Cormac’s direction, Vadoma grinned. “But, am always willing to listen to pieces that may be shared.”
Something dark moved very briefly over her features at the mention of vampires. It was there and gone so quickly that it could have been a trick of the light.”Two vampires having fist fight? Is unusual way for them to be fighting. Would have thought argument was being resolved differently, but….” she spread her hands a little and shrugged, giving the man she was sitting with a soft smile, “is different sort of place. Being here, cannot imagine fighting is approved action.”
That was part of the reason she liked Mac’s. She couldn’t directly pinpoint what about the interior of the building gave it the feeling it did, but she recognized neutral ground when she found it. Neutral ground meant that for a time, differences had to be put aside, so that everyone could relax.
Cormac shrugged in good humor, glad that she understood. In the world they lived in there were many beings that valued information and intelligence on their enemies over money and gold, and while the ghoul didn’t have many enemies, he didn’t want to go making them via sharing stories that didn’t belong to him.
“Mac was angry, and there may be repercussions. This place is accorded neutral ground, a lot of people could take offense. We’ll see what the White Court does.” He added. “But they’d been drinking a lot and yelling, and at one point they held hands. That’s what everybody saw, and what goes around today.”
His personal theory was a lover’s quarrel, but as with everything the White Court did, there could be layers upon layers of intrigue.

What was your inspiration behind Cormac's creation?
I have never liked the concept of ‘all chaotic evil species’, and ghouls are a particularly interesting case in the Dresdenverse. Not unlike Jamie, Cormac was a case of taking two apparently opposite concepts (a pacifist doctor and a ghoul) and seeing how I could try and make them work. And thus Cormac appeared

@ghoulsurgeon
In response to his good humored shrug, Vadoma smiled and inclined her head a touch. Generally speaking, most people didn’t notice when she was around as she made a habit of watching and not drawing attention to herself unless absolutely needed. Or unless she were placed in the unfortunate situation where she touched something and saw things, or had a vision. Neither event being innocuous or fun.
She didn’t, however, get the impression that the fellow were just being nice. But, just because he hadn’t seen her before didn’t mean that she hadn’t been there. “Is not a place that am frequenting often, but have been here before.” She very nearly asked if he came to the place often, but figured that would be more than a little inappropraite, considering that they had really only just met.
His words were curious, however. Particularly because it seemed that there had been some sort of altercation that had taken place. It wasn’t anything that Vadoma had heard about or “seen”,. but her curiosity was piqued, to say the least.
“When are saying was situation… what sort of situation?” Her eyes flickered around the room briefly before they returned to Cormac’s face. Some of the room’s energy was familiar, and some of it was completely undesired. It was good the gorund was neutral or there might be trouble that she didn’t have to instigate. “Clientele is interesting. Am thinking there is little bit of a storywith this.”
So if, it was not the first time she was there, maybe Cormac had overstepped. It was never a bad idea to be cautious and help newcomers, though, and she didn’t look like he’d offended her. Moreover, she was asking some good questions and, unlike many supernatural entities, Cormac had no problem answering.
“There is a story. Most of it is not mine, so I couldn’t tell you, but what I know first hand is mostly about a quarrel. Two vampires in a fistfight.” He added. “They took it outside, of course, and the fight was broken soon enough.”
He hadn’t been the one to break it because somebody else had been faster, and there had been no permanent harm done, but it had been an unusual show of temper from two members of the White Court.
True, I can’t save EVERYONE, but I won’t know who I can and can’t save, unless I TRY.
Talk about meme - 7, 13, 24, 34
7: Talk about your biggest insecurity.
I’m a ghoul. I’m not ashamed of it, I don’t take pains to hide it when moving around in the supernatural community and I’ve been around enough that most people know about it.
Still, most of my friends accept me despite what I am, so I tend to doubt the strength of most of my relationships.
13: Talk about the first time you had sex/how you imagine your first time.
I’m not going to talk about ghoul on ghoul sex, not here, not to everybody. You humans have very weird taboos about sex and I’m not sure I understand all of them.
24: Talk about something someone told you that meant a lot.
When I was apprenticed to the man who taught me what it means to be a doctor, some weeks after he became my teacher, I asked him why he’d risk his life to save another’s.
"If I die as I live,” he answered, “then what’s the problem?”
34: Talk about the worst physical pain you’ve endured.
I was a doctor during World War II. I’ve been in very bad situations. Let’s leave it at that.

“Yes, it’s a bit cryptic.” Cormac agreed, shrugging in good humor. “But it’s always good to be careful. I’d never seen you around here, figured you may want the advice.” He added.
He didn’t need to turn around to know where most of the other patrons were, he’d taken notice of it before he’d sat down. Today was a weird day, Wyldfae and some White Court Vampires comprising most of the crowd, but the place was neutral grounds. He wasn’t really surprised. He did also believe there was at least another ghoul around, but he couldn’t pinpoint where.
“There was some kind of situation yesterday, outside this place, so that’s why everybody is on edge.” Cormac explained. “It’s also why everybody is here.”
The girl in front of her probably knew it already, but just in case.
