Canon is BBC's Being Human.

[goingdry]

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".

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.

[diana_abel]

Tried it once. Didn't work for me.

So now, like a sane, rational individual, I only seem to date hunters.

[goingdry]

Is that before or after they find out you're a bloodsucker?

[diana_abel]

Little bit of both.

It's complicated.

[goingdry]

Complicated is a word for it.

Insane is another.

[diana_abel]

Well, in all fairness, it's not like anyone ever told me before we went out.

[goingdry]

[Mitchell can sympathize on that account. He's had some really bad shit happen from not knowing a person that well before getting involved.]

But you're still with them? Did they know about you?

[diana_abel]

They know now.

After "Vampire TV."

Everyone does.

[goingdry]

Jesus.

[Right. That. She'd mentioned that before. It was the one thing his kind feared the most, being discovered by humanity, lucky for him his sort of vampire couldn't be video taped. Which wasn't always so lucky, it just made a whole new set of issues.]

So how has that been handled? I mean, is everyone in the streets with pitchforks and torches demanding all vampires be staked? Is it an all out war?

[diana_abel]

No. Actually. What I've found is the real friends? They like you anyway.

[goingdry]

Really...? I kind of expected a mass uproar on both sides with werewolves and ghosts having no choice but to get mixed up in it all.

[diana_abel]

...ghosts?

[goingdry]

Yeah, ghosts. What? You can't see them? [One of his best friends, kind of sister like, maybe love interest, was a ghost. Best not alive person he'd ever met.]

[diana_abel]

Didn't know they actually were a thing.
