on endings. (of the universe, that is.)

Ahaha, it was so beautiful, wasn't it? All those clouds and that black lightning. Great atmosphere for the whole thing!  I wish everyone could have appreciated it as much as I did. After all, it's not every day you see a sight like that. Well, that and it like only happens once ever and stuff because after that, bam, universe gone or whatever.

I guess this is the part where I say something like "too bad more people didn't understand that it was necessary" but I mean, whatever, people can do what they want. It's not like I could tell them any different! Like, you know, I'm a lot of things, but I like to think I'm not a hypocrite! And most vampires aren't like me, I understand that.  They just don't get why change is good because they don't change.  (See: Charlie and his Moses getup that he's been wearing for the last fifteen hundred years, like, seriously, it's not that hard to get a new wardrobe.)  It's just that I think that if the party's winding down and you're out of glitter and cake, you might as well end it before it gets boring. And have fun doing it. But anyway...

A WINNER IS ME!!

But golly, what does a girl do after successfully helping end the universe? I mean, I can't exactly go to Disneyland.

I see. If something was ending I suppose there is no problem in ending the suffering of people.

I'm an atheist but I still know that there are situations worse than death.

[tothefairest]

I mean, worse than death is a little relative when you've already, you know, died, but I guess that's sort of how it works? I mean, all good things come to an end, which is good! Because if they kept going on then they would be boring and then they wouldn't be good anymore. And that would suck!

[reality_hacker]

Oh right, I really don't classify the higher-level thinking undead as really dead. I mean the removal of all consciousness.

[tothefairest]

Well, I wouldn't class all vampires as higher-level thinking. Considering, well, most of them.

[reality_hacker]

The two that I share a mundane with who are from a universe similar to your own seem to think like humans. One classified himself as a "Nosferatu" and the other a "Malkavian".

[tothefairest]

Well, maybe they're the fun kind and not the stupid boring kind. You see, the thing about vampires is that living a long time makes them... well, kiiiiiinda set in their ways, you know?

Like, I knew this dude, Charlie—it's 2019, right? He still dresses like fucking Moses, yo. You know, and I've known all these assholes that think it makes them special to still say thee and thou and dress like they were on the Mayflower. I mean, I should know, I was on the Mayflower, but they think if they keep pretending that nothing's changed then they won't have to deal with it. Thinking beings, yeah, but some of 'em it's wasted on.

Oh I see. Neither are that old. The Nosferatu, Gary, was in film in life. Jeanette, the Malkavian, was turned at some point the 70s.

It's actually very fascinating. Though I couldn't stand being a vampire myself. Not for any religious or moral reasons, there is nothing inherently wrong with vampires in my mind.
