[047] ALL KINDS OF SUCK (lolpun hurhur) // Voice.
[And for those of you listening in, his voice is sort of excited and manic-- kind of like how he speaks when he's in supervillain mode, actually.]
Fascinating. I disappear for two days, during which time my former tormentor goes on a murderous rampage, and nobody-- NOBODY-- thinks to check my room to make sure I haven't been, I don't know, killed, mutilated, crippled, COMPLETELY RESTRAINED!
I'm fine now, obviously. In case you were wondering.
[Pause. He's probably staring at a lightbulb or something, because everything's pretty to him at the moment.]
The bite of a vampire is, as I'm sure our recent victims can attest to, something quite... peculiar. A means of subduing their victim, their bite can induce euhporia, relaxation, and for some, sexual gratification. They paralyze their prey with pleasure. [Directed to you suckers Armand bit:] Isn't that right?
This isn't an entirely uncommon phenomenon, of course-- the pleasure, that is. There are even reports of the venom of the King Cobra having such an effect. A warm rush, followed by a feeling of euphoria as the life is drained from the body. There is a part of you that's aware of what's happening, but you feel compelled to lie down and welcome it.
Sometimes.
In the case of the cobra, this rare euphoric experience is merely the result of a neurotoxin attacking the central nervous system with such efficiency that it can kill a healthy adult human male within fifteen minutes. The vampire's bite is no more magical in nature than that.
[Another pause, then he sounds thoughtful and a little distracted.]
Did you know that, within three hours of hatching, a cobra can already deliver a full dose of venom? It enters the world better equipped to strike and defend itself than many adults of other species.
[OOC: LOL YEAH Armand turned him, but no, Rex isn't like, a vampire. He's just got the bizarro death toll that comes from being "turned" on the Barge. Which is basically like temporary vampirism. I never ever thought I would write COBRA COMMANDER BECOMES A VAMPIRE (sort of temporarily), what the hell, TLV. LUCKILY HE'S LOCKED IN HARPER'S ROOM.]
