[ Sitting in a darkened room, Edward just seems like a really pale guy. Definitely not a sparkling vampire here, nope, no sir. He is without a shirt and only dark trousers. If one's eyesight is extremely keen, one might notice blood on the back of his neck. The feed is positioned on another surface in the dark, empty room, showing him in his somewhat relaxed pose, leaning back with his arms supporting him up.

There's a reason brooding is his middle name. ]

I've spoken with other vampires here before during my previous stay. I'd appreciate it if you - or any vampires with which I have not conversed with yet - would mind indulging me in a conversation about your origins, lifestyle, and abilities. It seems that every one I meet here is so vastly different that the term 'vampire' seems so ... unnecessary, when not one vampire here is the same as another.

There are some that, like myself, are able to go out in the sunlight without burning to a crisp or catching fire. And there are even some that have fleshy skin and a distinct lack of 'supernatural' abilities. Yet they are still considered vampires. Even the ones that do not feed on the blood of other living animals.

I am merely curious. [ He cocks his head to the side. ] And the conversation need not occur over these devices. [ The feed ends quickly, the last frame only a flash of color. ]

Likely as a result of its function as a nexus between various cultures.

Perhaps.

It feeds such a quantity in that defy expectations others have arrived with, that we are forced to relearn matters we had been previously more certain of.

[dazzlingyou]

That's an interesting take on it.

One needs only see it as a cultural exchange. As your original inquiry implies, even among vampires, it may be necessary.
