VtM-Bloodlines - Educating Heather @ RPS

I missed this a few days ago because Rock, Paper, Shotgun's penchant for clever headings drew a blank at the time. Kieron Gillen has kicked up a piece based on a part of Vampire: Bloodlines that moved him. Could be considered spoilerish, although if you haven't played it by now, honestly, get to it. Here's a snippet:

I take her back to my sanctuary and tell her what’s going on. She doesn’t believe me at first. “Vampire and Ghoul?” she asks, “Is that some kind of Fetish Slang?”. I persist and the stain of truth sinks into her. But when she recovers from the initial horror, she doesn’t care. She loves me in the way the flame loves the air or the arm loves the needle, except a thousand times worse. I know it’s fake and it’s only what I did to her that made her like this. But no matter how artificial the affection is, it’s still a tongue lapping my ego.
