AU Thursday: Londerland Bloodlines -- Another Sequel Idea

So a couple of weeks ago I did a post about potential ways to add in the upcoming Bloodlines sequel to my Londerland Bloodlines AU, consisting of: 1. direct sequel to the original idea; 2. separate universe "reboot"; 2.5 separate universe "reboot" where Victor is the vampire; 3. picking the sequel over for bits I like but discarding the plot because it's crap. With information about Bloodlines 2 continuing to trickle toward us, I've come up another possibility, a sort of 1.75:

It's still a direct sequel, but Victor is the player character vampire.

How does that work? Well, you take the premise of the "direct sequel" idea -- where the gang moves to Seattle from Hill Valley to stay ahead of people starting to notice that they haven't aged in 15 or so years, and then have Victor -- on his own for whatever reason -- get caught up in the fateful Mass Embrace and turned into a Thinblood. He gets picked up by the tutorial character, Dale Talley, after narrowly escaping death, and Dale helps Victor reunite with Alice and the others.

Alice, as you might imagine, is PISSED BEYOND BELIEF someone turned her beloved ghoul. She's always refused to Embrace Victor or Victoria because she can't bear to take them from a still-mostly-human life -- "steal the sun from them," as she's put it. And to have someone FORCE this on Victor, like it was forced on her. . .

I don't think Victor's sire is surviving this version of reality once the gang tracks them down.

Of course, again, this is all dependent on what happens when the sequel comes out and what I make of the plot. But it's an interesting idea, isn't it? Definitely going to have to keep it around as a possibility.
