[Chuck opens his video with a little awkwardchans wave.] Hey, everybody.

So. [The most displeased face] I kind of have to wonder how the Mothers Against Newcomers actually even sleep at night. Do they really think they're doing something good by keeping innocent kids out of school? [He looks even more disgusted here, like he's resisting the urge

Anyone who bothers listening to that group is stupid, anyway, so whatever. Better ignore them.

...And what's wrong with your friend?

[paterelohim]

What... do you mean, what's wrong with her?

[video]

[whoisjohnsmith]

Why is her excitement sense so poorly calibrated?

[video]

[paterelohim]

....What?

I can only apologise for the actions of my kin. Of course, when I was young, children were kept far too busy to be delinquent. A ten year old was considered an adult, with adult responsibilities.

[Deep shit, Jessica. You are in deep shit. He inclines his head slightly and signs smoothly, accurately, to Elisha.]

It is the beauty in small things that I miss the most. The colour and warmth of sunshine behind white clouds. The reflection of light from tumbling water on the trees beside the forest stream. I regret that I did not pay more attention while I was able.

[paterelohim]

...Your kin? [Guess who doesn't know she's a vampire!]

Why- aren't you able now? [Yeah he knows sign too, remember?]

[vampingitup]

Vampire.

[The answer to both questions.]

[paterelohim]

[o_o]

Oh. Well... that answers that. So... this means Jessica's a vampire, too?

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Or whatever other contrite euphemism suits the occasion, I suppose.

[ He's going to be nice, okay. NICE. ]

Enjoying the sights? As dilapidated as they are.

[paterelohim]

Um. [Is he still talking to him? Hnngh.] Well- honestly, I don't know what that has to do with M.A.N. I'm not talking about discipline, just giving them purpose. I mean, isn't it better than manufacturing juvenile criminals?

[meaculpable]

You're mistaking a child's ability to choose with intent. Not every mortal is as hellbent on becoming a megalomaniac as the media would have you believe.

'Tis but fear within their hearts - fear, that horrible divider of man.

[paterelohim]

Fear reduces people to the level of animals.

[gavesugar]

'Tis a shame it does not embolden us to a kinder, more noble breed of beast.

[paterelohim]

Yeah, it is... scared people are just boiled down to instinct. Everything special about people evolved after we stopped having everything to fear.

[antedupmyheart]

Alas that so few people are willing to think matters through.

[video]

[paterelohim]

Reactionary politics are the best.

[video]

[antedupmyheart]

Some certainly see it that way.

[paterelohim]

That was my sarcastic voice.
