Vampire Lore[]

Vampires are extremely hungry when they're first brought across ("the first hunger"), and will kill anyone or anything to feed. If they feed on humans, they will crave human blood from then on; if they feed on rats, they will crave rat blood, and so forth.

Quotes[]

Nick--"Stay out of the sun, keep away from sharp sticks, you'll live forever. That is supposed to be the deal."


Vachon--"In five hundred years I've buried a lot of mortal friends."

Tracy--"So when does it get any easier?"

Vachon--"I'll let you know."

Nightcrawler Monologue[]

They say the ages of man are denial, awareness and acceptance. A young man believes he will live forever. A middle age man knows he will not. And an old man is ready.

What then of those taken out of sequence? How to prepare them for the bitter end?

A man who knows he will not die is a young man. He is kept young by the knowledge that death shall have no dominion. There's nothing so hard as watching that die.

A dozen in a single night. My children and my people. Who should have lived forever, living their last. Who would ever believe that they would die?

My people...

My children. One short sleep past. We awake eternally and death shall be no more. Death thou shalt die!

We will survive.
