[What do you do when you're a genre-savvy teenager thrust into a vampire event as a normal human being?

. . . get a rather eclectic arsenal from the closet, apparently. Jesse sits on his floor, pouring over various items - garlic, a couple different crosses, several stakes, a lighter, what appears to be a crossbow, and a small vial that he's

It is for werewolves! I wouldn't be surprised if one popped up though. They always seem to be around vampires.

I wondered. The stories seem to cross over in some manner frequently.

[ironlass]

Yep! So you should take the silver with you anyway. Just in case. You seem really prepared anyway.

I like to think of myself as genre savvy. Besides, it's always good to be prepared, particularly in this place.

[hi_blog]

Fighting back is inadvisable.

[yourshowface]

Because staying in and starving sounds like an awesome idea? Forget that.

[hi_blog]

Try the closet, then. Though as a human, you should do your part to feed the vampires.

[yourshowface]

The closet isn't working for that. In any case, I'm not a victim or a food source.

[Minato thought this was one of the strangest ways to begin a conversation with someone. He didn't want to see anyone get killed, though with this event, if it were out of self defense, he couldn't blame them. It was just not a good situation for anyone right now.

He didn't know what it meant to advise someone on how to kill what essentially right now was his own kind.]

I was told silver stakes work. Along with one other method.

[He knew asking Rose about her world would come in handy somehow, though he hadn't imagined it would be like this.]

[pauses, glancing over at the wooden stakes, before looking back and raising an eyebrow.]

Silver stakes? That's . . . unique and oddly specific. What is the other method?

[video | private]

[jivitadana]

It was specific to her world. I'm not sure whose memory this is.

[Though he had two guesses. He didn't know what was or wasn't as effective, but considering the arsenal Jesse had, he seemed as prepared as possible.]

The other method was decapitation. And setting the body on fire.

[yourshowface]

[lifts a hand to his chin to rub at it idly as he considers that.]

. . . I see. Neither of those would be particularly, ah . . . palatable. I'm more interested in self-defense rather than an all-out hunt. There's the dramatic, which I'm admittably partial to, and then there's overkill.

[Warily eyes his anti-vampire arsenal.]

...I believe that's exclusively werewolves. I could be wrong though.

[But he's really hoping he isn't.]

[yourshowface]

I'm hearing different stories from all over. Werewolves, werewolves and vampires, the bastard children from the Underworld movies, silver stakes . . .

[holds up a cross on strung beads and tilts his head to the side, examining it.]

[thisisherson]

[Tilts his head too, judging it.]

If there's that many contradictions, then I suppose it won't be as simple as just waving a cross at them. Though if you do go that route, you'll probably want one that looks less like you stole it from someone's grandmother.

I know, right? I'm wondering if gaudiness ups the vampire repelling or has an adverse effect. I'm leaning towards the latter, myself.

[sets it aside!]

- in any case, I'm not particularly interested in hunting them or anything. That's not my style, and someone's pointed out that it isn't necessarily their fault that their diet has taken a turn for the unfortunate. I would like to be prepared, though. Self defense is immensely helpful, and I hardly plan on being a victim in all of this.

[airplanecups]

Werewolves, dude. Look at Dog Soldiers, the Wolf Man, the Howling, An American Werewolf in London and, I dunno, pretty much every werewolf movie in history. Silver-tipped canes, bullets and blades or you're screwed.

[yourshowface]

Good, you're genre savvy. I would have expected no less from you.

[airplanecups]

[:)]

Gettin' ready for the vampire apocalypse?

[yourshowface]

I like to be prepared. I don't plan on outright hunting - that's not really my style. But I hardly plan on being a victim, either. I've been assembling an arsenal of sorts. At least the closets are still helpful in that regard.
