[ at first, there's just a close up on a poster of mitchell hundrend, emblazoned with "Being on Team Jacob is being on the wrong side of history!" there's a healthy amount of snickering, before johnny flips the comm around to raise his eyebrows at it. ]

I didn't know our Mayor was Team Edward. Hey, to each his own, man.

[ WHOA HOLD UP THERE

disliking the genre's bad enough, but that's one she's going to have to take pretty personally. ]

You don't think...anyone would see merit in making such an attempt?

[lastnerv]

[Oh. Whoops.]

N-no, I mean that. Well, historically fictional vampires usually just kind of...kill or turn people.

[glowsferatu]

[ she's already self-conscious enough as it is this is gonna give her a complex ]

Yes, Shinji, I am well aware of both the typical dangers associated and the portrayal which continues to feed the persecution thereof. I'm fully versed in the subject. Nonetheless, despite the nuance such portrayals may lack, this does not demand that vampires be unfeeling and aromantic beings.

...And neither are rainbow drinkers.

[He's capable of putting two and two together on what's going on here.]

Oh. Oh. Look, I didn't mean to-I never would have-

I'm sorry, okay?

[glowsferatu]

Right. Whatever.

[ of course she already expects it's true anyway, so... ]

[lastnerv]

I didn't know. I was caught up in my old world's way of thinking, where nothing like vampires or aliens existed. I was just saying stupid things.

[glowsferatu]

There's nothing left of the old worlds. No reason to allow ourselves to dwell on them mentally when we can't do so physically.

[lastnerv]

You're right, and I should know better. I'm sorry. [It's as geniune as he gets.]

[glowsferatu]

[ ugh, he really means it and now she feels bad ]

...I was perhaps overly harsh. For that I, too, should apologize.
