Now we know what the vampires saw. And they are definitely scared.
It is confirmed that they are vampires in daylight. And it is likely that they are normally invisible, because they are surprised that Monica saw them.

It looks like Monica has some new personal demons, if they are demons.
How about introducing us to them?

Ah! I see.. So thát's what the vamps see. *shudder* They're "groupies", "groupies"that are in awe, and in dread (understandably) at the same time.
but, why 42?

Glasses is star struck, Dreddy is scared...Looks to me like M's demons got the same power upgrades that she did :shock: ... Don't know if that's a good idea or not...

EDIT: And it seems like the Vamps know how they're thought of by the rest of the paranormals...That can't be good for your self esteem...

Ummm - it doesn't say anywhere that they're invisible. It does say that apparently they didn't "catch her eye".

Yep! Monica is officially Badass (tm).

And the vampire girls know not to meddle in the affairs of dragons, er, demon shepherds, for they are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup!

It would seem that if Monica closed one eye and looked in a mirror she would see herself in flames, very unnerving. :o
I also do not think that the vamps are invisible, I think that in most circumstances they don't care what others think about them and they may be the types to put off that "What are you looking at" vibe. But Monica seems to be considered an Apex human supernatural now so her even noticing them in any type of fashion without disgust seems to have Specs (sorry the glasses are cute) on cloud nine and Dreads living up to her (forum given) nickname. :twisted:

Why, Monica, what....TALL demons you have... :shock:

Were, uh, they always that tall? Seems I remember 'em being only a little taller than Mon, or about average human female height.

@my2cents

I guess her Demons shift about in appearance . Though, "Fear/panic" and "Doubt" are still the same.Especially Doubt can throw a rather scary scowl.

Monica looks like some Demon-Mobster here, surrounded as she is by her bodyguards/enforcers.

Yes, she needs theme music.

Big things come in small packages and Monica is a pint sized powerhouse of epic proportions. LOL *drops two silver doubloons in the pun jar*
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

If Monica looked in a mirror with one eye closed, would she see her posse? We haven't encountered her demons for a long time, and I think they would be more likely to go after someone who really pissed her off than her, given the looks they are giving the vamps.
I think if I was a vampire, I would just fade quietly into the background - in, say, Seattle or somewhere far from Wapsi Square.

I do believe my prediction from the other day was spot-on. That doesn't happen very often, so forgive me if I bask in the moment.

Australia might be a better choice, maybe even Tasmania.

And today's questions;
Seems like they would have gotten Monica's eye (attention) just from that "Holy s**t!" exclamation. I know if someone said that as I approached I would wonder what it was about. But Monica just keeps walking on as if nothing happened. Odd.

Will all the supernaturals now always see Monica bathed in continuous astral flames? Seems like that would get annoying and make them really reluctant to hug her.

Are her demons now sort of free agents, bent to her will and protection? Attack dogs who will do bad things to those who mess with her? Usually demons aren't allowed to torment anyone but their host, and then only via words (and, for one type, the odd nose flick). Can her flock take more physical action against others now, at least supernaturals? It would seem so given the vampires apprehension about them. Do they need a command from Monica or do they just so whatever they think is appropriate? Whichever, it would seem Monica would need to know about that before they do something she will regret.

Obviously everyone else knows much more about her than she does. Seems like it's time for Demon Shepherd 101 classes to begin. Maybe taught by Prof. Shelly? Or Prof. Brandi even? At least give her a book for goodness sake! This giving her information in drips is dangerous.

Took me a while to find it, but, yes, they always were that tall .
