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!

Comments

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]

[electricvamp]

I've seen it done before. [The Cabal did it, though they used the Source Blood as their base. Nikola was the one who disrupted it, and he understood it as well as anyone.] I stripped what they did apart and stopped it, because that power in the wrong hands was not something I was prepared to see. It's all very well calling for revolution, but when the ones who are instigating it have their own agenda that will leave you in a worse situation, I will not sit around and do nothing. [Yes, Nikola is that genetic expert you are looking for.]

[wecanavenge]

[And he has MORALS. Erik likes him.] And could you recreate it? For the right agenda?

[electricvamp]

I am a genius, possibly the greatest genius this world has ever seen. Of course I can. [Morals, and an ego the size of the world.]

[wecanavenge]

[eh. As long as it doesn't get in the way, Erik can tolerate it.] Why haven't you?

[electricvamp]

Too many people get aggravated when I start playing with things like that. Getting shot is not good on the clothes. Besides, right now I'm playing with other ways of using my genius. Monopolizing resources like power is far better in the long run.

[wecanavenge]

For who? You? You're thinking too singularly.

[electricvamp]

I've had a hundred and fifty years to think singularly.

[wecanavenge]

[Hell of a mutation. :V] A hundred and fifty years you could have spent working toward our liberation.

[electricvamp]

[A hell of a mutation that included immortality.] I think long term. I got distracted by inventing AC power systems, radio, winning a couple of world wars, faking my own death... I have time.

[wecanavenge]

Others don't.

[electricvamp]

And I just found out about your kind of mutation. Now is a whole different way of viewing things.

[wecanavenge]

Then I think it's time you get to viewing.

[electricvamp]

Demanding, aren't you? [But there is a faint smile there. Things to find out, the kind of things Nikola liked best. Mostly so he could figure out how to use them to his own advantage.]

[wecanavenge]

I prefer to think of it as 'encouraging.'
