You don't think I'd make a sexy vampire?

[can u not]

[werewolfing]

You're already sexy, numbnuts.

[whelp.]

[controlledvariable]

If popular culture has taught me anything these last couple years, it's that vampires make people extra sexy.

[werewolfing]

Well...yes and no. Sort of depends on whether trading bloodlust for eternally perky tits seems fair to you.

[controlledvariable]

[At which she has to look down at said tits to consider that, and:]/small>

Seems pretty fair to me.

[werewolfing]

[he laughs]

Far be it from me, man.

[controlledvariable]

Maybe I should at least wait another couple years, I don't wanna spend the rest of eternity getting carded.

[#priorities]

[werewolfing]

Smart.

[ones peter can appreciate, for sure.]

[controlledvariable]

Occasionally I can make good decisions.

[werewolfing]

Still not sure we can file 'becoming a vampire' under 'good decisions'.

[controlledvariable]

Hey, as long as I can be the type of vampire that can still go out in the sun, I'm not seeing a downside.

[werewolfing]

...Eating people? Also, immortality sucks.

[controlledvariable]

Drinking blood isn't the same as eating people.

[Who does she look like, Hannibal Lector?]

And I don't think immortality would completely suck.

[werewolfing]

Your world mythology may vary.

[he shrugs.]

Maybe not for the first fifty, sixty years. Then it would, unless you turn everyone you give a shit about. Death's a part of life, you're supposed to do it.

[controlledvariable]

The only time I've fought vampires they were actually holograms. I don't think we have 'em at all back home.

[what]

Well, yeah, that part would suck, but-- [she pauses, shrugs again] I think it'd be kinda cool to watch the world change, you know?

[werewolfing]

Yes and no. Cool in theory, but I'll pass on getting here or someplace like it the long way. I'll squeeze in enough living in the time I've been allotted.

[controlledvariable]

I can't wrap my head around living to like - eighty.

[Thinking about being immortal is easier.]

[werewolfing]

But you can do immortality? I donno, eighty sounds pretty good to me. I'd be fine with dying fat and happy with some great-grandbabies.

[controlledvariable]

[She doesn't say that she can only imagine immortality because it would mean she can't die. Even if she does want to stop being a vigilante eventually, it's hard to break out of that mindset where she expects to get killed before she's thirty.]

Great-grandbabies, huh? You might wanna get a start on your own kids if that's the plan.

[werewolfing]

[he's got a pretty good idea anyway. even teenagers who aren't vigilantes can't usually imagine living to eighty. despite his recent and temporary death--or maybe because of it--peter believes his grandfather's old dream that he'll live a long, full life.]

Not here, thanks. And they'd be wee little great-grandbabies. Gotta outdo Nic somehow.

[controlledvariable]

Ugh, shut up.

[Wee little great-grandbabies.

The face she makes is that of a girl who's suddenly getting clucky at the mention of babies.

Time to focus on something else:]

Who's Nic?

[werewolfing]

[that's what she gets for suggesting he start making some.]

Nicolae. My grandfather.

[controlledvariable]

And great-grandkids is the way to do it?

[don't use the b word]

[werewolfing]

Why not? He had a pretty good life.

[controlledvariable]

Didn't say there was anything wrong with it, it's just not the first thing that'd come to mind when I think about outdoing grandparents.

[Not that she's sure what would come to mind.]
