[foundafamily]

You're not a vampire, you know.

[He raises the camera again, finger poised over the button.]

We could hang it up in the house somewhere.

[cursedtolive]

Vampires and photos have nothing to do with each other!

[He covers his face with his hands.]

[foundafamily]

Didn't the stories say they wouldn't show up on film or somethin'?

[He's seriously thinking about taking a picture of Czes right now, but then he lowers the camera again. He'll give the kid a break. And he can always try again later.]

[cursedtolive]

Um... I don't know. I think vampires were pretty solid, so they probably show up.

[foundafamily]

So it's just mirrors, then?

[He shrugs and turns back to finish inspecting the shelves. He keeps the camera in his hand--the threat is not yet over, Czes.]

[cursedtolive]

I think it depends. Even vampires have a whole variety to them, you know? Otherwise there wouldn't be so many different myths about them!

[He huffs and follows, eying the camera in Firo's hand suspiciously]

[foundafamily]

How many are there? All I know is Dracula and that Nosferatu guy.

[cursedtolive]

Lots.

[Shit eating face. Have it.]

[foundafamily]

You gonna tell me about any of 'em?

[cursedtolive]

Um... not really? I don't know any of them personally but I do know there are a bunch of them. And they don't all turn to ash in sunlight or hate garlic and running water, you know? There are some that just get weaker in the sun, and some of them aren't even shaped like the humanoid vampires you'll see in books and stuff.

And then there are the humans that eat vampires?

[foundafamily]

[He blinks.]

Humans that eat vampires?

[cursedtolive]

Yup.

They're called Eaters!

[creative]

[foundafamily]

...Shoulda' seen that comin'. What kinda story are they from?

[cursedtolive]

They're not from any story. I think they might be in a story, but they're real, Firo!

[foundafamily]

[He just looks at Czes.]

Real? Come on!

[cursedtolive]

They're real! I'm not kidding you -- most vampire stories are based off real ones too!

[foundafamily]

You're kiddin' me. Those are just stories made up to scare kids and make movies.

[cursedtolive]

Can't the same be said about immortals?

[foundafamily]

Well...

[Stop having good points, Czes.]

I've never seen any proof that vampires are real!

[cursedtolive]

... Have you looked?

[foundafamily]

...No, but it'd be all over the news if there was any!

[cursedtolive]

But we aren't all over the news yet are we? It's because it gets covered up!

[foundafamily]

...I'll give you that.

[The police didn't do anything about the incident with Szilard, did they?]

But who'd cover up vampires?

[cursedtolive]

Vampires with power who want to keep their kind from being discovered, targeted, and researched or experimented on by humans.

Vampires with power who don't want their kind to get hunted down.

Humans who fear and despise vampires and think they shouldn't be known by humans.

Humans who want to hide the existence of vampires and want to use their powers for their own benefit.

[foundafamily]

...Okay, but you don't know for sure that those exist!
