Don't go outside.

Don't go outside unless you're a monster-killing super hero type person.

There are vampires. They attacked my friend. We were just walking to the bus stop.

You need to not go outside. ~~Oh God~~

	It takes practice. There are other ways to protect yourself and others, if fighting isn't your strong suit--but it's still good to know where to kick, if you know what I mean. Wards are all well and good, but if something really wants to get to you, they'll try their damnedest to break through. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks for the reassuring image. What kind of weapons are we talking here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Different weapons, or sometimes just different ammo, for different monsters. Some things can't be hurt with weapons, and can only be destroyed by fire. Sometimes it takes a certain ritual or incantation. You have to keep copious notes, and memorize as much as you can. Dead languages are your friend.

Well, they're not mine, exactly. My Latin sucks. But they could be yours.

	How do you decide which are the monsters? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it leaves a body count and doesn't give a damn, it's a monster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. I can work with that definition. I... I gotta learn this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If research is your thing, maybe you can be the guy the fighters call when they go to take down something big and bad they've never dealt with before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mostly I use my skills to find out where the fighters are supposed to go. Or what the people who know aren't telling us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's that, too. And assembling clues to figure out what the heck you're dealing with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I usually work that out right after it bites my ass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reality_porn 2013-09-24 01:40 am UTC (link)
	Then we'll work on figuring it out before it bites your ass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're really offering to teach me this stuff? Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reality_porn 2013-09-24 01:45 am UTC (link)
	Because if I don't, and you get dusted, bit, turned, or whatever on my watch, then I'm responsible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notadumbass 2013-09-24 01:46 am UTC (link)
	But you don't know me. I'm not one of yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're a human being. Protecting people is what I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How many apprentices do you have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Right now, or in my lifetime? There's my brother. Krissy Chambers and her group of hunter's kids. Kevin Tran. Sheriff Jody. Charlie. The list goes on. You meet people along the way, who can't unsee the monsters in the closet, and you teach em what you can. In a place like this, I don't have the luxury to just save your ass once, take out the thin that was after you and move on. Whatever is out there will just keep coming, and I'll do what ittakes to get as many of us out of here alive as I can, or die trying. That's just what I do.

	I guess we're lucky you're here. Even if you aren't lucky you're here. Where do we start? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reality_porn 2013-09-24 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	Let's start with securing your home base--your apartment--and stocking it with some basic protection. What can you tell me about your roommate? We can cover most of it up with rugs and pictures, but we've got to do a bit of graffiti, so he or she isn't cool with us marking up the walls with freaky looking sigils, you might want to think about moving in with someone else.
