Canon is BBC's Being Human.

Eh, not one of your better ideas. Then again what ones are good at four in the morning when you have to be at work at nine?

Not that I'm a proper role model for "good ideas".

[goingdry]

Yeah you didn't know we were the next step of evolution huh? Didn't catch that memo?

[diana_abel]

Dude, we are so far outside of evolution, Darwin would weep.

[goingdry]

Wouldn't that be a sad irony. If Darwin were still alive, one of us?

Poor sod.

[diana_abel]

You know, it would not be the most shocking thing I'd ever learned.

Now, Elvis? That was a surprise.

[goingdry]

... really?

[Now that's one he hadn't heard.]

[diana_abel]

Oh yeah. He used to work out of a wedding chapel in Vegas. It was also an Elysium for the local vampire population, until they were all idiots and pretty much destroyed the city.

[goingdry]

You know I'd believe that over him being an alien any day.

[And now she's lost him again.]

Elysium? And you mentioned another place earlier. Both aren't ringing a bell.

[diana_abel]

Elysium? You know...neutral territory? "Thou shalt not harm another of thy kind whilst in Elysium?"

[goingdry]

Can't say I've heard that rule.

[diana_abel]

How could you not have...

Oh.

Oh.

You're not a Cainite, are you?

[goingdry]

... a who?

[Tumbling further down the rabbit hole, yes. No. Maybe.]

[diana_abel]

Oh, this happens to me all the time.

See, there are different races of vampire. You're not the same as me, I don't think.

[goingdry]

If you've got fangs and drink blood we're the same. Nothing different about that, except for the Old Ones, but they're just... really damn old. Just means they're more powerful and can boss everyone around.

Or try to. Don't care much for their bullshit to be honest.

[diana_abel]

Well, some things never change. Don't get on well with Elders much myself.

But there are different races of vampire. I mean, the other vampire in Dagaz? He comes from a race that doesn't have souls. Or reflections. But they can eat food, which is totes unfair. And stay awake during the day.

[goingdry]

I think most who put up with them just figure ass kissing will get them some where. And it does, under their boots.

[Don't mind him just staring for a moment.]

You can't eat food... or go out in the day time? Christ, how boring is that? [The worst the day time did to him was hurt his eyes. And while he didn't need to eat, he did enjoy it, but mostly lived off coffee. Coffee and him were best friends.]

Still got that pesky aversion to mirrors, and cameras of any sort can't record us or take pictures. We don't show up. God, tell me you're not like allergic to garlic or something silly like that?

[diana_abel]

Of course, I'm not allergic to garlic. Just kinda can't eat anything at all, really.

'Cept blood of course.

But I have a perfectly lovely reflection.

[goingdry]

Jesus Christ, seriously?

[If they had reflections their lives would be SO much easier! The one real thing that gave them away to humans, at least in his canon.]

Is there a magic trick to it, because we would really appreciate the know how. Save us a lot of trouble. [Of course he knows there isn't, he's just being a wishful thinker. Sort of whiner.]

[diana_abel]

Oh, dude. I so don't mess around with ouija magic. It results in cities like Vegas getting destroyed.

[goingdry]

It's bad when I can't tell if you're jerking me about or not. [With all these things she keeps on bringing up, Vegas could be destroyed wherever she comes from. It's certainly not the Earth he knows.

[diana_abel]

No jerking. I promise.

[A pause.]

Wow. I really just said that.

[goingdry]

[There's a bit of a laugh at that.]

Not the worst let down I've ever had, trust me.

[Not that he'd been interested, but it was still amusing none the less. Him and being with others tended to just crash and burn in a horrible blaze.]

[diana_abel]

I must be losing my touch.

[goingdry]

Can't win 'em all, right?

[diana_abel]

I don't date vampires anyway.

[goingdry]

Smart girl.

We're arseholes anyway, best not to. But you must know that by now.
