Adria only cocked her head as Emrick claimed there was such a difference here, and it was how demons were able to get the upper-hand. He spoke of status, and not revealing oneself in the age of cameras and photographs. Adria didn’t chuckle, but she was tempted to. She had a feeling Emrick was not on the internet very much.
She was on it too much these days, but it did make working in daylight hours easier.
“By being photographed, Emrick. By being present – or haven’t you heard of photoshop, make-up, and video editing technology?” Adria asked, a bit playfully. “I’ve done this game before, admittedly before cameras, but even now you’ll find images on the websites for the Stars line of hotels and products.”
Back when she and Vincent ran Chernohiv, there was the issue of masking their age and identities among humans, since they existed among them in leading roles. This was old hat by now.
“Humans see what they want to see, and nowadays they even joke of people being vampires – or have you not heard of Keanu Reeves and Pharrell Williams?” Among others who seemed ‘ageless’.
Of course, they had plans to ‘die’ and let heirs take over. They could always dye their hair, wear contacts, use make-up. Even wigs, and clothing designed to add or subtract weight – or give that illusion – were options.
Image was easily manipulated.
“Vincent and I have been documented for centuries, Emrick. It's even easier now to avoid the problems associated with it, with all the ways one can alter oneself, and all the right bribes to get new identities."
