Um. I'd like to know who here is, or has ever been a vampire, or has had intim-...particular experi-...contact wi-...knows a lot about vampires. I'd like to speak to all of you, if possible. There are a few

Comments

[tadwizard]

I know a lot about vampires.

[19centconstable]

Very well. In your experience:
Do vampires have saliva?
Do vampires feel any sort of specific regard for the neck?
Does this continue once the person to whom the neck belongs is no longer alive?
Can vampires fly?
Can vampires float?
Does a vampire's hair grow?

[tadwizard]

Yeah.

No, they'll bite anywhere with a vein.

They only have any interest in a living person's blood. I mean, I guess if they drain them they might not be living when they die, but I think it's like...the body heat and beating heart that draws their attention.

No.

No.

...I think so? I don't know.

[19centconstable]

Where do you know vampires from?

[tadwizard]

I used to date one back home, and I know some here. Intimately, like you were going to say.

[19centconstable]

I wasn't going to say that.

How long did you court?

[tadwizard]

Uh...I wouldn't exactly call it courting.

[19centconstable]

What would you call it?

[tadwizard]

With the thing on the Barge or before the Barge?

[19centconstable]

Before. I can certainly see courtship being complicated here.

[tadwizard]

Well...it was dating, and the actual dating was like...a year, but it's kind of fuzzy because with vampires relationships can be a little less exclusive, because of course they drink from other people, and drinking leads to...you know.

[19centconstable]

Death?

[tadwizard]

I was going to say sex. I mean, I guess death too, if they take too much.

[19centconstable]

I see.

You weren't...jealous?

[tadwizard]

Not really. I think because I knew he was a vampire, and I know that's what vampires do.

[19centconstable]

...

...

...he?
