I tried, but ended up just askin' him to tell me about the stories instead. Way better that way, like a super enthusiastic audiobook.

You had fantasy stories but no vampires, huh. They're like, undead humans who drink blood to survive. Got fangs [ taps a tooth ] and sometimes wings or pointy ears. Or. Sparkly skin.
Oh, yeah, didn't mind at all. It's really interesting, how different places can be.
[ heh(???). amused by this reaction in any case. ]
They're supposed to be horror genre creatures, but at some point people started makin' em sexy instead. Which is why we've got this. [ taps the dvd. ] Guess it's the biting.

Yeah, let's not do those. I think I'd fall asleep, too. I don't know how he gets so into that stuff.
no subject
Right? It's different when he's explaining stuff, because he's so excited it's easy to listen. The books and these though... yawn.
[ hmm. ]

no subject

[ pun intended. ya nerds.
he was about to comment on them being horror movie creatures, but. falters. takes another look at the movie cover, incredulous. ]
Sexy. [ why. also why do you have something like this, chrono. ] I really don't see the appeal of something that wants to drink your blood.

also look at the dvd and suddenly feels self-conscious about it. so he half-frisbee tosses it off to the side somewhere. ]
Yeah, well, me neither. But it's really popular with girls, so I probably picked it up for the... range?
no subject
The range? A movie about "sexy" horror creatures that drink blood?
