Coffee in one hand and laptop tucked under the other, Bridge does some creative juggling in order to fish out the keys to the library from his pocket.

The library is open.

"I'm sorry," Bridge says, since G'Kar seems to find this fact about his people disappointing. "Your world- or, reality, I should say is more accurate, because that sounds like a great many species of people, which means they're probably all from different planets- sounds kinda different from mine."

It was so much disappointing as it was sad fact. The revelation of what really happened to the Narn telepaths... Well, it was old history now.

"Different yes, telepaths were..." he paused briefly. Necessary to win a horrible war was *definitely* not the diplomatic thing to say. "Fairly common to all races. I find it interesting at the wide array of people here at Fandom. Earth has many different representations."

"You're telling me," Bridge snorts. "It wasn't till I came here that I learned that in most realities, the moon doesn't have an atmosphere."

G'Kar arched an eyeridge. He was fairly certain that the Earth he was familiar with had no atmosphere to speak of, not even an artifical domed one like at the Mars colony.

"Some things I find less unusual than others. Alien species, telepaths - they are common to me. Things like magic?" He lightly tapped the book on the counter. "Very odd."

"Magic's... not exactly common where I'm from, but not unheard of either." Bridge admits.

"Magic really only exists in fairy tales on my world. I am not certain about other worlds." Though there was that time on the station... "Are you familiar with a tale about a king and a group of knights that he created?"

"King Arthur?" Bridge ventures a guess.

"Yes. I once met a man claiming to be him."

"Isn't he kind of dead?" Bridge blinks. "...He wasn't a vampire, was he?"

Re: Fourth Period [02/21]

"This man was very much alive. And no, he was not a vampire." The station command staff eventually discovered who he really was. And that was a near shame. "But I did provide him with some assistance. We talked late into the evening and he told me I was worthy to be one of his knights." G'Kar purposefully did not mention the amount of alcohol he'd consumed that night. And the subsequent passing out.

"Cool," Bridge says enthusiastically. "Um, about the knight thing. Also about how he wasn't a vampire, because vampires are very rarely good people. I only know of two of those, and I've run in to plenty more of the not-good kind," he wrinkles his nose.

"I don't believe I've encountered a vampire before. They steal a person's life force, do they not? The closest I've come to that is a SoulHunter."

Re: Fourth Period [02/21]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"If by steal you mean drink their blood, yeah," Bridge makes a face. "With a name like SoulHunters... they don't sound like very pleasant people."

Re: Fourth Period [02/21]

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like the definition of vampire to me." G'Kar grimaced. "SoulHunters are not pleasant. They do not merely steal one's life, they take the soul. They claim they are 'saving it for prosperity' when they are really depriving the soul of it's natural order."

He frowned even further. "They also only take particular souls. Those they consider 'important'. As if one being is of greater value than another. All life is precious. So the Minbari say. I happen to agree."

Re: Fourth Period [02/21]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge frowns as well. "Me too," he says firmly. "I am a fan of life. And of souls being where they belong."

Re: Fourth Period [02/21]

G'Kar simply nodded. "They are shunned by all worlds. Yet still they persist. One of them tried to take a friend of mine. Fortunately, he did not suceed."
