» I tried to do the right thing, and it bit me on the ass.
» As you are the official corporate sponsor of doing the right thing, I'm pretty sure this is your fault.

» Okay. So story starts with Dorian slapping me when I asked if he was working things out with Basil.
» Then cuts to us talking about what's been going on with him -- bad things -- and he tells me that he's been sleeping with Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
» I'm like, yeah okay, that's stupid and dangerous, whatever. Vampire with a soul who doesn't drink humans.
» But then Dorian tells me that Angel has been feeding off of him. And I mean, Dorian consented to it, but still. Vampires running around drinking humans, that's not okay.
» He's supposed to have a soul, which means he's SUPPOSED to not be doing that shit.
» And you've SEEN Buffy. You know how terrifying and dangerous Angel
» I also knew that the reason Dorian was doing it was-- that he felt like he deserved to suffer, and that's fucked up.
» I was concerned.
» So I talked to Angel about, you know, being careful to make sure that no harm befalls him.
» And now Dorian is pissed at me.

	» Morally or ethically acceptable? » He was draining a human. He was hurting him, and I know they weren't being careful about it because they both have a death wish. He could have killed him. You know vampires can't always just stop once they've started. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» I'm not disagreeing with you. It's dangerous. » But let me ask you this: what would you do if I let a vampire feed from me and told you about it? » Assume, in this scenario, that we aren't romantically involved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
