Blood Gods - murder / I miss the Savage Garden
Cont'd from previous. The set up are vampire guardians of sort, but the story is a murder mystery.
I thought of how cliche it would be, if it was a human hunting the vampires again, and we are left with either an After School Special about tolerating differences, OR a reveal ending with How Gods Must Be Overthrown...(when, in spite of the title, I think by the time I want the story start, the humans do not see the vampires as Blood Gods anymore, just alien, different).
...and I've got it. I thought of a different murder method other than stake through the heart (when really, they can bleed out, they just heal better)...and I thought, needle to the heart!
...and then I thought, murder was not the objective...it'll be additionally grisly if the vampires were reverted to humans just before they die...but why?
Another vampire is the villain here, and she did it because she wants to be human again, so she's experimenting on her fellow vampires. This fits into the Nobody Wants To Live Forever trope, and tied with the subplot of the human scientist who won't be a vampire even though she's getting older and her lover is one. I can first hint at the motive after the vampire who's with the human gets a needle to her heart, and as she's dying, the person who jabbed her causally comments how "You'll probably die from this, but if you don't, you'll be with your lover."
ETA: ...and the last of the human/vampire subplot is when they are at the hospital, the vampire is in a coma, and the human say, "wait a month"..."then we say goodbye", so whether or not the vampire wakes up can be Left Up To The Audience.
Also I miss the 90s, god we were gorgeous, the music, it's probably nostalgia, but I miss the Savage Garden so much, beautiful people, especially in their video, The Animal Song
...I used to have almost all of their lyrics printed out;
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
I don't have any difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide
ETA2: I miss the 90s SO MUCH. I miss the TLC, a lovely, lovely, girl band, they were so successful, but then one of their band members lost her life in a car accident.
I miss "No Scrubs", I remember singing it with another girl and actually doing some dance gesture...I can't remember who though. Also, Unpretty, just really spoke to me.
