"Just one?"

"Yup. Guess she keeps busy."

"Well, how shall we get into these tunnels of yours so I don't have to clockwatch while we chat?"

Permalink

"Thataway." She points at the graveyard.

Permalink

The rope around her ankles snaps. "Lead the way."

Permalink

She seems to contemplate running away and decide to not do that. The graveyard has an elaborate crypt and the crypt has a staircase in the back and then there are tunnels. They're dark.

Cam makes his computer since he's going to do that sooner or later anyway and turns on its light to see by.

The vampire sits down and pouts. "You still haven't told me what you're after."

Permalink

"I don't know much about vampires and stuff, and I'd like to. Also you need to cut it out with the biting people."

Permalink

Laugh. "Sure."

Permalink

"I'm so heartened by the interest in rehabilitation. The face thing, do you do that every time?"

Permalink

"I dunno. Probably."

Permalink

"I'd think it would be hard to miss."

Permalink

"It doesn't really feel like much of anything. Sometimes new vampires don't know they're doing it. - we don't have reflections."

Permalink

"Huh, fun fact." He opens a computer file and starts taking notes. "Just you or your clothes and stuff too?"

Permalink

"It looks in the mirror like there's nothing there."

Permalink

"Interesting! And sunlight kills you - garlic, crosses, running water, compulsive counting, wood to the heart, decapitation, holy water, consecrated ground, vulnerable to iron or steel, unable to enter homes without invitation, sleep in coffins, require soil from your burial site, any of that?"

Permalink

"Garlic is kind of annoying because it smells terrible and I guess it makes people a bit less tasty, crosses sucks, water's fine, never heard anything about counting, I don't want to tell you how to kill vampires if you don't already know..."

Permalink

"You want me to find out by testing it?"

Permalink

"Won't you anyway? I could be lying."

Permalink

"I was thinking I'd rig you to, say, detonate, if remotely triggered should I suspect you did anything untoward, and hope that would at least stop you from hurting people while I caught up, but I don't have to kill you if you don't do anything untoward."

Permalink

"Most things that'd kill a human will kill us except we don't bleed and we don't age."

Permalink

"Cool. I might wanna test some drug reactions, that okay with you? I went to medical school."

Permalink

"What do I get out of agreeing to that, exactly?"

Permalink

"I don't have to leave you here restrained while I go look for more test subjects?"
