Sometimes Larzi's hands move faster than her mind does. Or, it looks that way, at least.
Larzi has awoken to a psychic potential that has laid dormant since their creation. The unexpected side effect is past and/or alternate lives now leak into her slightly. This is usually only a good thing, as she's able to borrow their experience (and sometimes even their hands) when she needs it.
Though apparently one of her lives has/had a very severe phobia of wide open spaces. Not very good for living in space.

Vita doesn’t shoot alone anymore. Her finger pulls the trigger, but something older, wilder, and far more ancient whispers corrections over her shoulder. A pact sealed with bite marks and inked blood lets her channel the predatory instincts of the creatures she’s bonded with. Every shot isn’t just calculated—it’s ordained.
When Vita raises a firearm, faint glowing patterns—like claw marks, runes, or faint iridescent scales—flash briefly along the barrel. Her eyes flicker with a beastly gleam, echoing the color or mood of her bonded companions. The air grows unnaturally still for a heartbeat, then she fires. The projectile feels guided, veering slightly mid-air as if nudged by unseen paws, wings, or spectral horns. If she deflects an incoming strike, there's a sharp burst of animalistic noise—a hiss, a growl, a shriek—that echoes from nowhere.
Vita has never seen her Gifts as magic—they’re relationships. Contracts, favors, whispers traded in dark corners and glowing meadows. This Gift is the result of deeper synchronicity with her bonded creatures: her aim guided by predatory instinct, her reflexes enhanced by something barely contained in her skin. Whether it’s Bapha nudging her shot with unseen force, or a fae wolf’s voice growling “duck” just in time, she’s a vessel for more than human talent now.
Where bullets fail others, hers adapt. Her firearms don’t just shoot—they hunt.
You gain the following benefits as long as engaged in combat with firearms.
+2 dice to all firearms rolls.

The vampire sucks a copious amount of blood from a human and replenishes their own cursed flesh.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. This Effect cannot be used unless you drink blood directly from a human until it injures them. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Occult at Difficulty 6.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you drink blood directly from the vein.
