Seems to be a lot of introductions and specific requests on this thing recently. Let's change things up a bit. Here's a few general questions for the masses:

1. If you could travel to any time period, when would it be and why?
2. If you could have any superpower, what would you want? Why?
3. What's your stripper name? Name of your first or favorite pet/stuffed animal + the name of the street you grew up on. Mine's 'Bear Handley'.

Feel free to comment on everybody else's answers. That's what's supposed to make forums like this interesting.

Or I could have not said anything about it and you'd be none the wiser.

See? Works both ways.

[aeturnus]

I mean, it would be pretty obvious in person if it's true. But if it's not, then you'd have lured someone into your ~clever trap~.

[idolpire]

What, 1-800-SUCK-ME? Please. That's not how vampires hunt.

[aeturnus]

[ That gets a laugh, even if Spike can't hear it. ]

Cut me some slack. We don't have vampires where I'm from.

[idolpire]

Could be you do. Most people don't know about them until it's too late. I would have said the same before my little 'accident'.

[aeturnus]

Normally I'd agree, but this is the sort of thing I actually would know. [ And because he's already outed his eyes as "supernatural" on the network... ] I see dead people so I'm sure it would have come up.

[idolpire]

Dead people, eh? You sure you see undead people?

[aeturnus]

More sure that if people were dying via vampire attack, I'd have probably heard about it from the ghosts hanging out.

[ Although yes, he'd see if someone is undead, too... Not the point right now. :T ]

[idolpire]

Right. Well. All the dead people turn to ghosts where you're from?

[It's always the point, Cain. So much point. Pointarama.]

[aeturnus]

[ Pointapalooza. But where's the fun if you just show your hand all at once? ]

Yes. Or ghost police.

[idolpire]

[Depends on the game.]

Please tell me that's not a real thing.

[aeturnus]

[ Cain tends to play the long game. Mostly because he's immortal but also because it's funner. ]

It's a real thing. Called Enforcers. You know, of the natural order.

[idolpire]

[Spike's a fan of Poker. Kitten or strip. Take your pick.]

Sounds incredibly boring and anal. I prefer my way.

[aeturnus]

Your abominable undead way?

[ For someone who claimed to not be a good guy, that's a compliment, right? ]

[idolpire]

Look, vampires feed on humans. It's the way of the world. Not like they're about to go extinct. And there's other things. Other demons. And the Slayer. So that evens it out. Fair's fair.

[No, Cain. Gosh. So rude.]

[aeturnus]

[ Undead shouldn't exist when there's even nice ol' ghost police to help people move on to the afterlife. C'mon now. ]

Not the way of my world. Things actually cycle right where you're from?

"The" Slayer?

[idolpire]

[His soul had moved on. It was just a demon in residence. Gosh, Cain. GOSH.]

Mate, I've no idea what you're blathering on about.

And yes, THE Slayer. The Chosen One. Blah de flippin blah. Cute little pain in my ass that looks like she belongs in a mall?

[aeturnus]

[ Which is just confusing!! How are you still you without a soul?! Spike what are you, stop that. Bad Spike. ]

Fair enough. Things still rocking and rolling, though, is what I'm getting at.

You mean a vampire slayer?

[idolpire]

[He gets it back later. GOSH, CAIN. --He's good at being bad. Don't make him stop.]

Everything works the way it should, if that's what you're implying.

Except for the biting thing.

Yes, I mean a vampire slayer. Annoying little...

[aeturnus]

[ It's not Cain you gotta worry about with that. He's just a pest himself. ]

Your biting thing or just the biting thing in general?

At least she's doing her job, sounds like.

[idolpire]

[This might be the start of an incredibly rocky friendship. /theme song.]

MY biting thing.

... I was starting to like you.

[aeturnus]

[ Cain would sooner die at least once. Which means this is probably accurate, yes. ]

Hey, at least you're still... alive? Kicking?

It's not like I'm rooting for her. I'm just a fan of things not getting fucked up because someone doesn't like their job.

[idolpire]

I'll grant her that she's saved the world from an apocalypse or two. Not a fan of the end of days. But other than that, I hate her and I hope she dies.

Not like it matters. One dies, another takes their place. They're like bloody Mario with eternal lives.

[aeturnus]

Hoping you'll get one more likable next time?

[idolpire]

Or one I can kill. A vamp can dream.
