So let me make sure I've got this straight. I'm stuck in some city that's not on Earth that I can't leave, the welcoming committee consists of two overgrown pieces of walking metal that do not understand personal space whatsoever who hand out a crappy PDA with a map of the city that looks like it was drawn by a five year old suffering from the DTs, and the people I've met so far on the streets are torn between helping me out and turning into mindless zombies who act about half a step away from muttering 'Braaaaaains' before rambling away in search of the next person to freak the hell out?

You know, when I was told I had a different path to follow and it was time to move on? This is not what I had in mind.

Wow. Tell someone else's secrets much? Or are the vampires up there totally cool with you outing them to random strangers?

And yes. I'm definitely used to weird. You grow up on a Hellmouth, you learn to deal with it. As for the long haul, you can drop the whole blasé thing anytime now. Because seriously. Acting that way to someone who just came back from the dead that you don't even know and who might not take things in stride as easily as yours truly? Not even close to acceptable.

Cool enough that they're not going to do anything drastic like eat me. ~~I hope.~~ ~~Not that I would really mind if Carol~~

Sorry. Apparently I do things like this, and it makes people want to punch me into next week. I should probably monitor my tone a little more, but it gets a bit hard to be conscientiousness of how other people might view a situation when to you, it's little more than another alien invasion before teatime. ~~And now I'm making myself sound like the Doctor. Bad Lyle.~~

	Huh. It's been my experience that most vampires aren't exactly going to warn you before that whole pesky hunt you down and eat you thing they do. Especially when they lose their tempers and just start making with the smackdown. ... and alien invasion before teatime? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The ones here are reasonable enough even rather nice, and I think even some of the rudest ones would have least give me a fifteen second headstart. Not that it would make much of a difference since I'm pretty damn slow anyways. Oh, and that whole vamp superspeed thing. That would probably have an impact, too.

And. Yeah. It's not like they happen every day, but it's stuff like that, you know. Aliens, vampires, werewolves, randoms bouts of truthfulness, everyone suddenly switching genders. Half of it godawful and the rest jarring but altogether harmless.

	You haven't come up against any vampires that pose a real threat to you before, have you? No, no, the crazy I'm used to. It was the teatime thing that threw me. Because, well, hello. American. Not exactly known for sitting down at a designated time and drinking tea, here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not really. I come from a superhero reality, not a supernatural one. Ah. Yeah. That. It just seemed like the most proper timetable to go along with alien invasions? (Reply to this) (Parent)
