LJ refugee, still homeless.

It doesn't matter where you take me, though you seem to think it does. Either way, you're offering me a prison. A prison that will remove my abilities, and you think I will coddle you, and say yes, please, as quick as you can?

Sometimes I wonder how you manage to convince the world at large that you're sane. Don't tell me it's a lesson I should learn!

No doubt the comfort she'll offer will be the same: 'they aren't removed, they're simply limited.

[He doesn't buy it AT ALL.]

[electricvamp]

Yeah, well she can forget that. I lost them once, I have no intention of losing them again.

[wecanavenge]

What happened?

[electricvamp]

I had an... incident with one of my inventions when some young punk didn't appreciate what I did for him, and my plans for the future. Because I'd never admit it was actually my own fault.

Little bastard.

[wecanavenge]

And what were those plans?

[electricvamp]

At the time, resurrecting the former pre-eminent race on the planet. Oh, it would have been glorious.

[wecanavenge]

[....Interest caught.] Former?

[electricvamp]

Sanguine vampiris. Born for greatness, bred to rule. Until a bunch of church folk decided that they were evil and exterminated them.

[wecanavenge]

Vampires? [Okay, he can make that comparison. And assume that vampire stories were based on a mutation that caused something like vampirism...that could be plausible. Maybe.]

Humans have a habit of doing that.

[electricvamp]

Vampires. [Nikola never failed to become more animated when talking about his race - admittedly he was the only one living, which was how he like it.]

And it's never likely to change. It just happens time and time again.

[wecanavenge]

That's where you're wrong.

[electricvamp]

Oh? [Now Nikola is intrigued, enough not to bother reacting when someone says that he is wrong.]

[wecanavenge]

They are the majority, for now, but we are their future. We are more advanced than they cane ever hope to be, and we will make our stand against them.

Honestly if these two ever worked together, bye bye world as you know it.

[electricvamp]

[Now you have Nikola's full attention, Erik.]] And just how do you intend to make your stand?

It's true. The world would just implode.

[wecanavenge]

En masse.

Lol yes!

[electricvamp]

En masse? You realize what they will try to do with you if you do?

And sorry I'm being so slow with him right now, I'm drowning in tags for other characters. :c

[wecanavenge]

One day, there will be more of us than there are of them. Even with a smaller group, we are stronger, more resilient than them. Evolution has always supported the newcomer at the expense of the former dominant species. It's time to move things forward.

I do that!

[electricvamp]

True, humans did manage to wipe out my ancestors when a bunch of church folk decided that we were evil. But what then, once you are dominant? How are you going to keep humans from rising up against you?

\o/

[wecanavenge]

They'll evolve or die out. That's nature's way.

[electricvamp]

And you didn't answer the question. Humans like the status quo, I've found.

[wecanavenge]

That was my answer. We either allow nature to take its course...or we accelerate it.

[electricvamp]

You do know there are... ways that such things can be accelerated, don't you? [Nikola shouldn't go there, he's been warned away from it often enough, but the idea is fascinating.]

[wecanavenge]

[This is why they would get along.] Tell me.

[electricvamp]

Well, however you choose to look at it, what makes us different is down to a different chemical make up to normal humans. Whether it's a genetic aberration, or a difference in brain chemistry doesn't really matter. Everyone has the potential to be something more. There is no such thing as perfect DNA or perfect brain chemistry, clean of any such potential. If we were, we'd all be clones of one another. There might be ways of tapping into that.

[He's done it, when he changed those trust fund brats into vamps, admittedly ahead of schedule. But he's supposed to be on Helen's side now, and he knows that she'd shoot him for even suggesting something like this, and he'd never stand a chance of winning her over, but he was Nikola Tesla. He had to meddle.]

[wecanavenge]

Might be. Is this is a theory? [Or do you really know what you're talking about, because hey, having a new genetic expert to work with, wouldn't that be nice. :c]
