"Vampires," Bob said. He paused. "None of you are, I take it?" He frowned around the room for a moment, then shrugged. "There are a few on the island. Vampires can be tricky, because more than a lot of other supernatural creatures, they seem to be extremely varied. There are three...I suppose you'd call them species; we call them courts...just in my world. Some, the worst you'll get from them is a headache, especially if you try to keep up with them. Some will kill you for the fun of it."

"Other worlds have other kinds. Some are beautiful, some are ugly; some need to kill, some don't; their weaknesses and strengths vary, too. So." He clapped his hands together. "Let's talk vampires. What are they like in your world if you've got them, what do you know about ones from other worlds, and how would you handle one and determine what sort it is?"

"I don't know about vampires," Anders said, stretching a bit in his seat, "but most things die if you cut the head off, don't they? So that would be my plan."

"I'm with Anders," Dante said, squinting at Bob. Vampires? Really? "Nothing better than an old-fashioned beheading."

"Do we have to kill them?" Merrill wondered, frowning like she found the whole idea unsatisfactory. "Can't we persuade them to try a new food, or take up knitting?"

Mabel was pouting a little.

"The closest thing I've encountered where I'm from was just somebody I wished was a vampire, my brother was afraid might actually be a zombie, and was really just a stack of gnomes wearing a hoodie."

Bunch of buttheads.

"I have no idea what a vampire is," Kaylin admitted.
