Back in QotD Dan said his evil dark twink bf could open locked doors with his mind or something? Lesty said so too in TotBT if I’m not mistaken. Here’s the thing. Do you think they can open like, electric doors? Like the ones in apartments I guess?

“No locks ever kept Armand from anything.” – Daniel Molloy, Queen of the Damned.

So yes, Daniel’s evil dark twink bf Armand can open locked doors, since there would be electrical locks at that point, but I think it was more that Armand always had a way of sneaking in (being wee, he could probably climb up and enter a small window!), or could get someone to open the door for him, bc I don’t recall that Armand has telekinesis in canon.

Lestat and Marius both have telekinesis in canon, but I don’t think there’s a lot of detail about their manipulating electricals…

“I was sitting in the darkened cathedral. Hours ago it had been locked, and I had entered surreptitiously through one of the front doors, quieting the protective alarms. And left it open for him.” – Lestat, Tale of the Body Thief.

^Lestat doesn’t say how he quieted the alarms. I’m guessing that Marius and Lestat’s telekinesis does extend to electrical locks, more in their physical attributes, though. If you can manually force open the parts that keep a door locked, the electricals don’t matter.

And of course, they’re both strong enough to just knock your door down physically ;]

Two more alarm-related quotes, that didn’t really add to my point but I found them anyway, under the cut, for length.


The lock gave easily when I commanded it to do so. And the door opened as if I had touched it, when I had not.“- Lestat, Tale of the Body Thief.

^This is probly a normal physical lock w/o the alarm system.

“And I locked up the shop door tight with a few little telepathic twists, and off I went again.” Lestat, Tale of the Body Thief.

^One of Lestat’s regular mini-shopping sprees in a closed store. I would think this shop had an alarm system but he doesn’t mention needing to disable it.
