"vampires aren't real" sounds like something a vampire would say 🤔 Yeah... come to think of it.... treeslicer's been acting kinda funny lately..... maybe we should send Brother Nathanial out to check him over, just to be on the safe side.... Yeah... come to think of it.... treeslicer's been acting kinda funny lately..... maybe we should send Brother Nathanial out to check him over, just to be on the safe side.... Dear Brother rufus, i am 'i receipt of thy letter. Hast thou still not received mine invitation for the next masquerade? Seemeth that our corky friend, sir treeslicer, may hast gotten himself infected by the undead plague. Hence important is this matter to me that i hast bid off all of mine festivities for this week. The next coming morrow i shall take carriage to his mountainous manor and observe what remains of the man we remember. It goes without saying that i am going armed 'i the event that the worst hath been performed. Should I was not to return please say to the papers that i died doing what mine passions were, trying to save a good friend from an e'en worse fate. You'd better get your paperwork approved through DARPA/DSO first. The SF's on the gate to this facility have zero sense of humor. We've had too many idiots show up because of that damned Canadian TV show.
Now bugger off. I'm fine, just busy with the usual postmission analysis crap, and trying to write next year's line items.

When I am waiting for the poor soul I just staked to go up in flame. When he doesn't: "... A day walker, huh?"

Brother Nathaniel,
Salve!
I am dispatching this message with all haste in hopes my fastest courier will find you still on the road to the Great White North. I fear our worst suspicions may not only be true, but far graver than we have considered.
I received anon a communique from our mutual acquaintance and my spirit is filled with a sallow dread. It would appear that he has become reclusive and shuns the companionship of humanity. Moreover, he has hired a private guard force of which he states, quite clearly, that they are beyond the ability to use human reason on. What manner of beasts these can be I can only speculate.
Brother, I fear for your safety in this matter and urge you to use all prudent cautions. If the situation is as we fear, please take heed my advisement to return to this safe haven with whatever information you have gathered without confronting the supposed evil. Armed with this knowledge, we can raise a sufficient force, properly equipped, with which to deal a blow to the Northern threat.
Di Vos Incolumes Custodiant,
Rufus Scorpius Americanus

The theme when I am riding in the carriage applying the face paint, checking all my gear and looking out the windows toward the great white north still not in receipt of the letter just yet. Rufus's Courier is saddling up and saying goodbye to his wife and kids and is on his way. This is my theme as I haul a wagon full of your extra extra extra knives, each chosen for style and mood more than anything:

Much more like this photo, actually. I think you found the Addams Family.
BTW, I feel that it's time I warned you that any physical peculiarities (particularly those acquired in the line of duty) of myself or any of my close family members are fully covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and if nothing else, we'll sue you down to your chain-mail underwear for any harassment.

I'm afraid he's got us there, boys. Invoking the ADA is the unbreakable spell of protection...

Florida's got a Stand Your Ground Law, too. Oh, semprini, SWMBO's got that look in her eyes again, like during that big ruckus at the last PTA meeting, and she's toying with a souvenir. Think I'll go to the garage for a Heineken.
BTW, anybody disrupts our Friday night poker game is gonna be in some seriously deep semprini.

Soooo... speaking of vials. If holy water works... and hydrochloric acid (or any aqueous strong acid or base) is just HCl in a water solution... why not "Holy HCl" for a little more, er oomph? :P )
(Then there's Holy Colloidal Silver to think of. ;) )

Why not pelt them with holy.........

I would think that you would also need faith in the items you are using…to steal a joke….if you hold up a crucifix if front of a vampire but you don’t believe in Christ it might go something like this…
Vampire: What’s the T stand for. You: It’s a cross. Vampire: across from what!? Vampire: MUNCH!

Why not do it with this?
