Title: Vampire Defecation Spinoff Puzzlement
Post by: MagnusTrask on November 30, 2005, 11:49:21 PM
I thought I'd take a stupid tangent from the other thread and give it its own venue.    Now I'm thinking better of it.   Hit the post button, or not?

BD can eat if he wants, but doesn't need to.  (Maybe his body just doesn't process it.   He's a cadaver walking around thanks to a curse.)   To my mind, that makes more waste expulsion necessary, not less.   (Door slams.) Bad Barnabas: "Willie, they made me eat a whole turkey dinner at this holiday they have for... get this... thanking God... they asked me to say grace, how I managed to tapdance out of that one I don't know... of course, I'll be in the john for an hour squeezing all that out...."

Do BC's vampiric internal organs do anything?

Well, I've never seen a toilet in Collinwood--not to mention the Old House (gag! no electricity or running water)--so we can safely assume that *no one* has the urge to relieve him or herself.  You see, Collinsport and the surrounding areas breed people that never suffer from the effects of smoking, the necessity to eat and drink more than cheese and brandy, and addictions to medical drugs (ahem, Julia).  Also, these people require no sleep; they only do so every once and awhile to have special dream sequences and/or curses.  The Leviathans picked this region for these unique immunities, of course.

Yes, and on the rare occaisions when they DO sleep, it's ALWAYS in a chair!   [santa_cool]
