✯ Second Session ✯ [Video]

Happy 'One week away from' Halloween everybody. [Cause someone had to say it. Video is on this time because she just wants to see you all dressed up and looking ridiculous. Don't worry though, Paprika is also in a costume that she did not remember putting on. No black wig though - just the outfit.]

The Malnosso don't seem to have very good timing. I'm a little jealous: I like some of the costumes I've been seeing around. So bright and vivid and pretty eye catching. All I got was 'bossy female doctor'. I would have liked something that showed off my legs more. [a small chuckle] Does anyone actually like the costume they got stuffed into? Not that it matters - either way we're stuck like this. Lets pray it isn't permanent.

If it is then I suggest wearing something on top of the costume. Not sure if it will work though.

Béla Lugosi?! [Oh Giles, how did you know she was a film lover.] Can I be your Helen Chandler...as long as you promise not to bite me.

[Giles laughs. A lot]

Since you're the first person I've spoken to who actually knows that? Yes, and yes.

I feel a great sadness for everyone who has never seen Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's an absolute classic. Although I don't think you're evil enough for that kind of role.

I consider that a very great compliment.

I've always admired Stoker, at least. God only knows how much nerve it must have taken to get as much as he did out of Dracula.

For all the detail he put into Dracula it definitely paid off. He's literally an icon, along with Frankenstein, the Werewolf and so forth. What every vampire should aspire to be like.

Yes, he certainly has..."lasted" quite a bit longer than most vampires.

Hey Giles- you versus Dracula. Who would win?

Well, we would probably go straight to the fighting. And...well, Dracula can't actually be killed, I probably wouldn't be entirely immune to his hypnosis, so he would probably win in the end.

Granted, I haven't actually seen him fight, not properly. But his fame is quite justified.

A vampire that can't be beaten. I'm shocked.

...I wonder if he could ever come to Luceti. Now that would be a blast. Not the fun kind.

Buffy could keep him in line. [Although he doesn't sound too thrilled with the idea] Even if he can survive being staked, I can't imagine it's fun.

Just stake him to the ground and wait for the sun to rise. That should do it. Either that or hope Van Helsing comes to Luceti as well.

[Absently, as though reciting something from memory] Dracula turns to mist when staked.

But I'm not sure what effect the sun would have. It would probably sting, at the very least.

Not if you trap him somewhere that mist can't go to.

If it's hot enough then he can likely die for it. But then again, I am talking to a specialist here. You know more than I do.

...putting him in a jar, you mean?

Well, it would certainly be uncomfortable. And if we made certain that it was a strong enough jar...[Okay, Paprika, now you have him thinking] I'll read up on his kind of magic, see if that would work.

Dracula in a Jar. That would make a popular toy product.

It's good to be prepared. If you can beat Dracula you can beat any vampire out there!

Good to be prepared, certainly. Even the Master died for good once Buffy took a sledgehammer to his bones.

Anything can be killed. "No weapon forged" just means no one's thought to try a rocket launcher.

A sledgehammer? Wow, she has some real strength.

Can we even make rocket launchers in Luceti? Technology is a bit lowtech here.

It's...not a perfect metaphor.

I'm sure we could manage something, though. Perhaps a magical equivalent.

Or something like that.

If you could just get some gun powder, or...well, explosives are unfortunately easy to jury rig. And then you'd need a fuse and quite a bit of distance...

Magic is probably easier to handle for a lot of people here. Some people might have never used a gun or gun powder before and I doubt we're all rocket scientists.

Well, I'm certainly not. But apparently anyone can at least learn from a couple of the spirits, here.
