You know, this place is more obnoxious than a New York subway station some days. Nothin' but people with things they shouldn't have. Cripes. [ this would be Luke, playing bartender. he's irritated, but feel free to come by and ask him to make you something! ]

Retrieving those souls were often a lost cause. Even if they held onto their humanity... no, those were often the worst. They still had a soul, but it was impossible to send it on whole. [drinks] ... even death wasn't the release it should have been for their pain.

Then perhaps I should have reaped every last human that indulged in their instinct to eat and pass on their genes. You act so entitled to a meal and sex.

Then you're a vegetarian? You don't eat the meat of animals that were chased down and hunted?

"Humane"? How hypocritical. The animals from farms were the worst. Brought up to believe they were safe, then killed by the one they trusted. And not slowly. At least an animal from a hunt is clean.

I was Death. I speak not of minds but souls.

... how shallow. [puts his empty glass down] If I was still in control of my full powers, I would make you feel what those animals feel before they die. Then what the hunted feel, then what a vampire feels. A vampire's victim has a chance to heal this damage quickly. Fifty, sixty years... about as long as any minor trauma. A soldier in the middle of a war takes centuries. A farm animal takes just as long. A hunted animal takes a little less, and are perhaps more delicious than a penned one. A vampire, if ever, takes thousands of years due to their own struggles, not to mention the wounds idiots such as yourself inflict.

[looks up at him] Do not pretend you can pass judgment on any being. You can live your life as you choose, wounding the souls of who you wish to continue your own pathetic life. But do not judge another for doing the same when they are struggling to keep themselves from becoming the monster you think they are. You, perhaps, are more a monster than they are. They accept what they do as monstrous. You don't.

[slams his hands down] You are just as unnatural as they are! And you obviously don't understand what I say. If they don't struggle to be monsters, they give into their instincts. Do you wish to be around a vampire that has given in? You'd be dead before your hand touched that silly weapon of yours.

They are not unnatural. Only the arrogance of humans spread that rumor, that only humans should be the top of the food chain. They are your predator, to keep you humble. Obviously, humanity is too stupid to understand that.

It's viewpoints as such that make them lose the struggle.

... I've been human for far too long. I feel sorry for the underdog.

No. [points to his glass] I want another.

Most people are unaware they create the same trauma to an animal that a solider does on the battlefield. And that they add to the trauma a vampire is already experiencing. The animals are forgivable, besides, they're tasty. But the hypocrisy that comes from believing vampires are worse than animals when they're fighting not to become that is not.

He's... I wonder how new he is. That sort of control... he kept himself from killing her. From outright raping her. And he's even in control of himself enough to atone. I've never heard of this before. Even the one holding on the most killed whomever he fed from. This one... amazing.

You don't understand. No vampire is that in control. You act offended, but he didn't kill her. If she ran and triggered prey instincts and he still didn't kill her... [comes over to grab his hand] I need to meet him! He has to be a way to keep vampire souls from becoming so tortured!

Him not killing her is as if you no longer needed oxygen. I need to meet him.
