Case #24: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is seated at his tea table, which is serving as a writing desk at the moment. A copy of the book Carmilla is in front of him.]

Um. I'd like to know who here is, or has ever been a vampire, or has had intim-...particular experi-...contact wi-...knows a lot about vampires. I'd like to speak to all of you, if possible. There are a few things I'd like to ask about.

[George notices the book in front of him, and tries to move it discreetly off screen, so no one is distracted by it's sexiness.]

I was thinking more of how their biology operates.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Well I was wondering if they had saliva, because it had seemed to me they wouldn't need it, being dead, but a good point has been made in that, without it, speaking would be uncomfortable.

But I'm far from any sort of doctor. I believe someone else is looking into general biological operation. To pass the time.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

That's based on the assumption that their method of speech is the same as ours.

And who would that be?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

They open their mouths and everything.

Mr. Dracula and one of the other wardens who I'm afraid I haven't met. Why?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's a little bit more complicated than that.

I'm curious.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Speaking? But even children manage it. Eventually.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

They're a completely different species, you can't judge them by human standards.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on that.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

We can, but I happen to be right.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Perhaps so. But perhaps not.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

How noncommittal.

The information will not be shared with you, so don't get your hopes up.

Oh. I didn't realize this. I had thought one or the both of you might give a lecture or write a book once your research had been completed.

Yes, but though I might trust the Wardens with this information, I'm not trusting Crane.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Ah. I don't know Mr. Crane.

But I still think it could make a thrilling read. Think of it: an interview, with a vampire!

[feels-no-love.livejournal.com]

Ha, yes, I suppose so. Though in this case I will also be donating blood for analysis.

According to you. If you've spoken about this, it's going to get around the barge sooner or later.
