Hey now RK, you can't kill (most) vampires. They're already dead. Batman would just be correcting a longstanding illegal exhumation case, not killing anyone :V

Heh.

[KingofstarrySkies]

...No, he killed Drac. Used a bigass light-thingy. It was an animated movie. Pretty good, actually!

(LOL idea)

Anti-vampire directed energy weapon, consisting of high power UV pulse laser, with crucifix shaped aperture stencil.

When a vampire is shot with the laser, the laser light itself burns a crucifix into the flesh of the vampire, which then catches the skin on fire.

but they also had really big problems with entering buildings without being invited

Or crossing rivers, or visible religious icons, or large numbers of very small objects

So, in short, being a vampire is actually a terrible deal. Why does anyone even want to be one again?

For a person who doesn't believe in an afterlife immortality tends to be it's own reward. Sure it might be a sucky immortality, but in a lot of people's viewpoints even a sucky immortality is better than being dead (since even a sucky immortality can get better over time, supposedly).

The idea kinda reminds me of the novel "Blindsight", where humanity genetically revives vampires a la Jurassic Park. Vampires have a nervous problem where seeing perfect right angles induces seizures, but humanity just "cures" it by having them take regular doses of a drug which changes the brain chemistry to prevent the seizures while leaving their other mental benefits in place.

What would you guys actually do all day if you were immortal  vampires that couldn't cross a threshold, be in the light of day, go near running water, and other myths?

I guess you could get a bunker and read books. Or this.

[Rose]

Obviously the solution is a river of tiny wooden crucifixes .

[wierd]

Nono-- You need crucifix shaped molecules that self-assemble into plastics.  That way you can kill dracula with a plastic toy.


As for what I would do if I were an immortal vampire?

I would totally have a grand old time scaring the bejesus out of kids in parks, win vast sums of money on the korean starcraft ladder tournaments (since I NEVER have to sleep, EVER), Take up biochemistry but never attend any lectures or meetings-- etc.

Yeah my daily life wouldn't change a huge amount to be honest.

[NJW2000]

A crossbow firing stakes in the shape of crucifixes, strapped to a super-squirter filled with holy water.

[IcyTea31]

Why not just petition for a law that declares vampires illegal aliens, i.e. uninvited to your home country?

[kilakan]

Or you know, run the plumbing under the doorway and leave a tap dripping.  Maybe that's why vampires went extinct because of indoor plumbing

I need to dig a tunnel to CVS or something so I can just trek beneath the congested roads and buy my fedoras as I please.

Or country. Vote UKIP, stop Lithuanian Communist Vampires with AIDs coming into our country, outdoing us at our jobs and abusing our health systems...

That'll stop 'em coming in, but you can't ward of Dracula once he's inside by shouting, "You're not wanted here!"
