[A straight face stilled for a moment. He's not quite vacant nor is he expressionless, though it comes off that way.]I have not been here long, but I have come to realize that the Great Revelation has not happened in all of your worlds. I am vampire and I am also one of the oldest where I come from -- was. I was one. I mean no harm to anyone.

And what is it that you have done, if I may ask? [ She's excluding the usual 'vampire attitudes' from that - she's wondering if there's anything deeper.

After the past few days, days that Helen would rather forget it makes her a little curious. She's quieter than usual when she replies, a testament to that ]

My transgressions are innumerable at this point.

Vampire? That term doesn't hold much meaning to me, besides vague folk-lore references.

Vampires were mere folklore for thousands of years. Up until two years ago after the invention of synthetic blood. We made our presence known to the world.

Seems like something that would be rather difficult to hide, if the sunlight weakness holds true.

It is. But I managed it for two millenia.

True repentance is hard enough back home, this place makes it too easy to get lost.

[bloodissacred]

I have found that. With the amount of corruption here. It is sad such a world exists. Its purpose is only infliction. [Perhaps it really is a punishment.]

[slipperysoul]

Could be one of those.. trials. See exactly what we're willing to fight through.

[bloodissacred]

I gave up long ago. Two thousand years is long enough to keep trying.

Some people see this place as a chance to start over.

[bloodissacred]

I am undeserving of such a gift.

[underachieves]

The people you've hurt... Are any of them here?

[ voice ]

[bloodissacred]

No-- Yes. One. But he does not see it that way. I offered. A rarity in our kind. Vampires rarely ask.

[stillhaslegs]

...A proper vampire?

[bloodissacred]

As opposed to an improper one?

[stillhaslegs]

Well, for starters as opposed to a race of fish people, pretending to be vampires. You'd be surprised how common that is. [ pause. ] Actually, it only happened once.

But the point still stands.

[bloodissacred]

Fish people. [Godric gilts his head at that. Intriguing.] Why would one pretend to be a vampire?

But no. I am not pretending. I was made by a Roman vampire in the year 134 BC.
