Just a thought, considering our recent guests - what's your opinion on vampires and werewolves? Do you have them where you come from or are they just in stories? Monsters? Misunderstood? Just another type of creature?

[wolfssegen]

So you have them where you come from? What's their reputation like in your world?

[cryptsleeper]

[Oh buddy, you don't know the half of having them from home.]

1. Rare
2. Territorial.
3. It is frequently the case that the older they are, the less regard they have for human life due to a) lifespan and b) when people are food, you forget their humanity.
4. Usually get along out of politeness and the knowledge that you'll have to keep dealing with the same group of people over the centuries.

[wolfssegen]

[He really doesn't, at least not yet.]

That sounds about like what I know of them from home too, except maybe less rare than uncommon. Can't say I've ever met one to say the truth of the rest of it.

[cryptsleeper]

I've met enough.

[wolfssegen]

I think I'd like to meet one. They can't be all bad.

[cryptsleeper]

[Well, you're talking to half of one right now. Does that count?]

I will only advise treading cautiously.

[wolfssegen]

[It would, if only he knew!]

Thanks for the advice. I take it you've had run-ins with them?

[cryptsleeper]

[Alas, someone keeps that close to their chest unless he trusts the other person.

or like, talking to them in person because fangs are impossible to hide easily.]

Several times, yes.

[wolfssegen]

[Ches meant to keep it close to his chest, but he's really terrible at hiding things, apparently, because several people have already figured out his 'secret.']

Then your advice is definitely noted. If I ever run into one, I'll be cautious.

[cryptsleeper]

[Fact: nothing in the night world is good at the concept of subtle.]

Are you weighing the possibilities of giving blood, as per the recent requests going around?

[wolfssegen]

[Ain't that the truth.]

I was thinking on it. I don't know if they'd like what they find though.

[Case in point.]

[cryptsleeper]

[For better or worse, Alucard tends not to ask about these things. He has his secrets and privacy preferences, he likes to allow others that same luxury.]

If you're concerned, I'd advise that you don't do it.

[wolfssegen]

[What a generous fellow.]

Too risky? Someone might get a taste for me?

[cryptsleeper]

[He tries to respect the secrecy folks are entitled to.]

Second one. If that's a concern, of course.

[wolfssegen]

[A gentleman and a scholar.]

It would be a concern. Especially after being told to be cautious about them.

[cryptsleeper]

[Only sometimes.]

Then I think you're smart enough to not offer blood.

[wolfssegen]

I'll avoid it then. Thanks for the advice.

[cryptsleeper]

You're welcome.
