[explaining]

[Luceti could probably use a distraction right about now. Shift experiments have a way of killing the mood.]

Okay I'm in a rut. I'm looking up vampire facts for...things, and I'm running into a lot of conflicting data. Anybody out there want to share what they know?

[This is, naturally, also an invitation to vampires to share without outright doing a vampire all-call. Guy remembers quite a few night-walkers wanting to keep their identities as secret as possible, going as far as to pick up their blood from the back door of the bar.]

...and the nature of marital affairs, but I'll understand if that's a difficult subject for some. Don't feel obligated to share.



Oh, and I did some research on writing a love letter, May! Looks like sincerity is the way to go. Don't try to impress him with being someone you're not, and don't try to write it to make it sound like it's poetry or anything. Being honest is the key.

[He didn't really research it okay, he just made that shit up from his own preferences.]

You want to know about marriage?

I don't know 'bout vampires, sorry! But my mommy and daddy are married, so I know about that!

[voice]

[folklorist]

It um...depends on what you'd like to know. Many vampire myths always depict them as drinking blood and such. There's always the fact that some of them cannot cross through passages unless allowed to. And then there's the idea that many of them are living corpses p-possessed by a demon.

[ He pauses. ] It varies from place to place.

[mikangirl]

'Research', huh.

[positivelycharged]

Marital affairs?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Um... was that last part supposed to be filtered?

[deadpoet]

[Guy may recognize this voice, since Spike is a frequent patron at the bar. Though he usually gets his drinks from Buffy.]

What sort of things would be?

[herotypical]

I can help with that rut, you know. I'm wounded you didn't ask me first.

[ vampires? or marital affairs? OR BOTH? ]

[hismasterpiece]

I hate nasty ruts. They always leave stains.

[At least she sounds reasonably chatty and open to talking?]

[want_take_have]

First bit of advice? Don't try mixin' those two.

[Voice]

[distressedude]

...researching love letters, Guy?

[And marital affairs, too, apparently.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[Oh hey, he remembers you from that unfortunate incident involving Nami that he will never speak of again in his life.]

That's an interesting set of questions to be asking. Might I ask how they're related?

[Voice]

[bamboozler]

Ahhh...Flynn!

I heard a story about a vampire once. Do you want to hear it?

[Voice]

[geniustheveil]

[Just going to ignore the slightly awkward topic of marriage. And definitely love letters, which she has discovered she is allergic to. (Don't ask how she found out.)

Vampires it is, then!]

I can share what I know about vampires with you; but in my world, it's considered myth, and nothing more, probably arising from rumors surrounding a particularly fierce nobleman.

[deceases]

And of course there would be enough people in this place wanting to offer up information for the sake of something as vague as 'things'. [ not that he sounds annoyed or anything, mostly apathic. ]

[musubi]

Apparently, information on vampires differs from world to world.

Stake to the heart still usually does it, right?

[alkahestrykunais]

Honest and sincere? Is that what usually works? [Close enough to research to her.]

voice;

[trashed]

Vampires and love. What a combination.

[He's so sarcastic. Also hello Guy.]

[haveiliedtoyou]

Marriage is a social construct which relies primarily on a mutual agreement to resign oneself to being trapped in a close relationship with another human for as long as possible. Any attempts to find a reprieve from the inevitable monotony often meet with catastrophic results, including separation, social ostracization, and in extreme cases, death.

[idealism]

Vampires? That's easy. They're white-haired and red-eyed creatures that sucks your blood.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Of course honesty and sincerity works! Shouldn't that be obvious? ...But then again, the first time I got advice on girls, my friend told me that the key was acing really aloof.

[Video]

[doubleppk]

What's that about marital affairs and love letters?

I know a little about vampires, but every world is different, and all their vampires are too, from what I can tell.

[voice]

[bloodybishie]

[Wow. Both of these topics piss him off on some level. But at least he knows something about them.]

Vampires are... parasites. Nasty business. Messing around with them will only get you in trouble. They drink blood, especially human blood, and cutting off their head usually kills them. The only problem is, there are lots of different kinds of vampires. So maybe that's not true for all of them.

... As for marriage, just make sure it will work out. And don't get married for someone else's sake.

[failguardian]

Martial affairs?

[Hopefully having to see Anise's meaningful look through the video feed still doesn't dampen its impact.
