"Human" Barnabas
« on: September 03, 2002, 08:52:11 AM »
Do you think Barn is missing some of the vampire perks now that he is human?

Like turning into a bat?
Being able to fly?
Being able to stay awake all night?
Those cool fangs?

What do you think?

I don't think he misses not being able to watch the sunrise.

Has to use a telephone now instead of blue candle telepathy.  Wonder if he eats his steaks rare?

He no longer holds the power over people that he could use to his advantage.

No, no more frequent flyer bat miles for him, but it's worth giving up just to walk in the [sun] every day!

Except for Julia and Willie.

Despite the fact that he has threatened to end their lives on several occasions, they stay loyal to the ol' sourpuss...

Now that's power!

When he's human he is privileged to sleep in a nice comfy bed. I don't think a coffin is conducive to a good night's rest.

Unless you're meaning was that Barnabas might still sleep in his coffin while he was human, shouldn't that be "day's rest"?  ;)

And according to much vampire lore (and more or less the vampire lore DS goes by), the vamp is dead during the day, so presumably all he/she can do is get rest - well, at least in the dead sense of the word.  ;D

That's right, both of them chose to remain with him long after the blood bond was broken on Willie. Julia stayed out of love and Willie out of loyalty. And they both chose to do whatever he wanted, for both of them their sun rose and set on him. When he was a vampire their moon rose and set on him.
