My, my, this is quite the development. Get unlawfully incarcerated, get a free Skype account and a reject Xbox headset. Microsoft ditched this design for a reason, but it's good to know that access to social media isn't limited to the footloose and fancy free. They can cross being biased against the criminally charged off their would be lawsuits -- if any of these charges happened to be valid, that is. You seem to be lacking a proper judicial system. Get one. The Big Brother look isn't good a look on anyone, and I have zero interest in playing along with your little game of transdimensional authoritarian checkers, Stalin and Mussolini. [ that'd be you, conscienti and veridical. ]

As for the pocket placement itself, sans your little list o' crimes... [ a shrug of indifference. ] As a good friend of mine once said, "Go to heaven for the climate, hell for the company."

[ not like he's got anything better to do -- at least, not at the moment. give it time, he'll grow bored and restless, and start rattling the bars on his underwater cage soon enough. neither will stop him from being difficult, though. ]

Anyone know if this thing happens to do Guitar Hero?

[ sherlock holmes gets a raised brow, the invisible man a furrowed one, and jack the ripper... elena is quiet, her lips parting, her expression mildly unsure about her feelings here. for the record, she's leaning towards 'this is not okay.' (but she realizes enough about herself to reserve judgement. and have it quietly.)

she pulls in a breath and then sets her mouth. this is a frown, but she leans forward, because curiosity wins out. ] What would Jack the Ripper want with vampire blood?

He was a student of science once, as eager as the rest of us to see what secrets were hidden in our own genetic structures. You realize the field was very young back then. It was 1886, only twenty years since Mendel published that study on plant hybridization, and Lamarck's theory of species transmutation was so radical, no-one took it seriously until Darwin was bold enough to tackle the issue. Even then, he was seen as a radical. They -- we were all radicals. But back then, if you so dared to push known science beyond it's accepted limitations, you were automatically a radical. Especially when you pushed the limits in the way we did. Teratology wasn't exactly one of the courses offered at Oxford, but those of us with an interest in it would meet and study it on our own, which led to experimentation with untainted sanguine vampiris blood and the serum we derived from it.

[ realizing he's gone off on a slight scientific tangent, he gets himself back on topic: johnny. ]

Like I said, we all experienced different results. DNA is a wonderful thing, my dear, and it holds many secrets. The Ripper's secret, his abnormality that was given life when exposed to the serum, made those murders possible after he went mad. Scotland Yard never could figure out how he was so easily able to get from one site to the next, with some speculating it was multiple killers and not just one. But, it was. And the reason he was able to get from Point A to Point B so effortlessly was thanks to his abnormality. His power.

He was a teleporter.

[ this is, perhaps, the most civilly he's ever spoken in regards to montague john druitt in well over a century. and it's to a curious teenage girl. go figure. ]

	[ the only sign elena has any reaction to the idea or reality of teleportation is a fluttering of her lashes before she blinks. he fills in blanks, tangent or not - says more about himself and his past than only jack the ripper. what he offers is still an explanation. true or not, she accepts it. ] So everyone was affected? Not just you and him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ a nod. ] Vampire blood doesn't turn people into vampires, but it does encourage recessive genes to surface and abnormalities that would've otherwise remained dormant to be exposed. My electromagnetism, Johnny's teleportation, her longevity -- you get the picture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ she gets it: the picture. it's the pieces she's not fully versed in understanding. her brow stays furrowed even as she nods her acquiescence.

that vampire blood could be so powerful, so effective in mutation and science... it takes her a moment to realize how plausible that is, how maybe even vampires from her world... but then again there's magic in her world too. that's what made vampires. unless magic, too...

"her longevity" doesn't go unnoticed. ] If vampires are born your world, then where were they? Didn't they have something to say about you... experimenting with their blood?

The Catholic Church decided the vampires were evil, vile monsters and set about to destroy them. Vampires may be immortal, but living forever doesn't mean you can't die. If someone manages to kill you, well, you're shit out of luck, aren't you? They rebelled, killed what they could, and sterilized the rest. For a race that's dependent on breeding sexually instead of biting like myth and legend like to claim, being unable to reproduce and carry on the species ruined them in the end. The last known remnants of the sanguine vampiris lived in the Indian Himalayas and were bombed out, from what we could tell.

[ liar liar, pants on fire. he and helen discovered a group of vampires lying dormant in stasis in a former praxian stronghold in east africa that they -- or rather, she -- blew up. either way, pureblood vampires were no more. ]
