Vampires
Nope, I've been in LA. But I bet they did what everyone else does- laid low until the whole thing blew over and let the proper authorities fuck things up worse instead of taking that job themselves.
There's a big difference between a vlog and, y'know, a press conference. A vlog comes off more... honest. Anybody who speaks "on behalf of vampirekind" in front of a bunch of news cameras is going to be seen as a puppet. For an exclusive club that they can't join. Add in the whole immortality deal and it's just. Not good.
And I don't know you very well- I think you're a cool, decent guy, but I don't know for sure. I don't know this isn't going to go to your head.
But if you really want to do this, I'll go along with it. Though I reserve the right to bail when shit gets stupid.
