[What do you do when you're a genre-savvy teenager thrust into a vampire event as a normal human being?
. . . get a rather eclectic arsenal from the closet, apparently. Jesse sits on his floor, pouring over various items - garlic, a couple different crosses, several stakes, a lighter, what appears to be a crossbow, and a small vial that he's ( Read more... )

...I believe that's exclusively werewolves. I could be wrong though.

If there's that many contradictions, then I suppose it won't be as simple as just waving a cross at them. Though if you do go that route, you'll probably want one that looks less like you stole it from someone's grandmother.

[sets it aside!]
- in any case, I'm not particularly interested in hunting them or anything. That's not my style, and someone's pointed out that it isn't necessarily their fault that their diet has taken a turn for the unfortunate. I would like to be prepared, though. Self defense is immensely helpful, and I hardly plan on being a victim in all of this.

Hopefully it won't be an issue for long. If it only lasts a few days, then maybe we'll survive this event without any major incidents. ...Or crossbow-related injuries.

I did archery in middle school. I thought it would be a good skill to know since Robin Hood is a popular subject in the world of theater. I would be perfectly capable of handling this without any problems.

Despite popular belief, I'm not heartless. This is some kind of event, and if giving a bit means my jugular won't get ripped out and some guy will be grateful to me? Whatever. Besides, I'd been meaning to visit the blood bank again before I ended up here. It's an . . . unconventional solution.

It's a shame most people are more attached to their blood than that. ...I mean, it would probably be a solution to most of the problems with this event.
[That, and Kurt has too much pride to actually ask anyone to donate to him. ...Or the ability to guarantee safe passage to the kitchen, really. A bigger vampire could probably bat him up.]

. . . uh-huh. It's certainly understandable in some respects - I can only imagine Rachel's outcry if I were to offer my neck or wrist up to a random stranger, even if it were for charity. The thought is quite unpleasant. Wouldn't you agree?
