TWENTY-FIVE (to entertain)

[tehpuck]

Yes, so.

I have come to the decision that there are far too many vampires in this Zeus-forsaken place. The alternative would be werewolves, but they are generally pungent and without class, so I cannot have that, I would never get the smell from my draperies or carpet. And then I'd have to move, and very likely get all new clothing, too. And

If they were evil and would stay dead, the vampires would practically be a cash crop for some of us.

[tehpuck]

Evil? So trite. Nothing is evil if you sit down and have a glass of wine with it.

But, vampire hunter? Our florishing little economy needs you to kill some of these bastards.

[favored_son]

Well, that depends.

Eh, I'm not the hunter. Just the voice of annoying reason.

[tehpuck]

Yes, I know, bad wine does have an awful habbit of turning people evil.

Pocket-sized reason?

[favored_son]

Is that their excuse?

Pocket-sized? Very funny.

I don't like pockets. Too much lint.

[tehpuck]

I give them the benefit of the doubt before I smite them. It's good manners.

At least I didn't say, 'melts in your mouth, not your hand'? That's hackneyed.

[favored_son]

Is it really? I've never heard the expression before.

[tehpuck]

It's... about little candies? With chocolate-covered shells... multi-colored... little 'M's on them?

You are a sheltered little hand.

[favored_son]

Never seen them.

[tehpuck]

Sheltered little hand... go kill some vampires. I'll get you some candy, and it won't melt on your forehead.

[favored_son]

I'm not sheltered. I'm just not that ancient. Try D.

[tehpuck]

Delightful? Delicious? Darling? Daring?

Do Elaborate.

[favored_son]

Nice.

It's my host's name.

[tehpuck]

'Nice' doesn't start with a 'D', you're ruining the pattern.

That makes you a parasite.

[favored_son]

I tend to do that. I'm invasive.

[tehpuck]

Like any good parasite.
