VII: Silver, too

[dei_irati]

[Vergil's white hair blends in nicely with the fog, the Sphere picking up on him calmly watching as two vampires come towards him. On catching sight of him, both react differently. One hisses, and the female full-out screams, but the end result is the same---they both turn and run like Hell itself is on their tail.]

Almost makes me homesick.

[ They're avoiding him, too. What do they have in common? ]

Maybe it's the hair?

[dei_irati]

As good an explanation as any, although I would be most impressed if the ship is imitating the stigma that white hair carries in my homeworld.

[faintbynumber]

And what stigma might that be?

[dei_irati]

People with white hair are thought to carry demonic blood.

[faintbynumber]

That's absolutely ridiculous. It's just a color, even if it's not at all common.

[dei_irati]

People are quite ridiculous by nature. In some parts of the world, people with red hair were suspected to be vampires, to provide another example.

[faintbynumber]

I've never seen anyone with red hair before, actually.

But that's still stupid! People are people! Except here sometimes, where they might be gods or whatever... But you know what I mean! The point still stands!

[dei_irati]

Unfortunately, there's not much to be done about it. The belief has been entrenched for years.
