Not us. At least, not where I come from. A vampire who's been staked or beheaded turns to dust.

[Much the same as what happens when they have a close encounter with fire, but a whole lot faster.]

[hypoxic]

[He squints at that.]

"Dust"? You mean there aren't any corpses left behind?

[vampdetective]

Nope. No blood, no gore, nothing left behind to rot.

[A quick once-over with a broom and there's no trace of them left at all.]

[hypoxic]

That sounds rather convenient.

[It's a little too convenient, all things considered. It strikes him as an easy way to hide details.]

[vampdetective]

Not for the vampire in question.

[He's just saying.]

Makes cleanup a breeze for Slayers, at least.

[hypoxic]

You're hunted, then.

[The way he says "slayers," it sounds like an organized military affair.]

[vampdetective]

With good reason.

[Their numbers were overwhelming as is. If left alone, the body count would be beyond imagining.]

One of the reasons I'm not exactly popular among my own kind. I hunt them, too.

[hypoxic]

That sounds like a good line to use when you want to get people to trust you.

["I'm a good vampire" probably gets them all nice and close.]

[vampdetective]

You'd think so, but wouldn't you know, people aren't that quick to trust a vampire, especially one who kills his own kind.

[Either it's hard for them to believe, or makes them think he has no loyalties-- or both.]
