There are perhaps some ten older than myself, though they have not all... acclimated as I have.
( the older the vampire, the more likely they are mired in the old ways. godric is, in that sense, an exception. )
Vampires in my world have revealed themselves to the public several years ago, with the advent of artificial blood that is capable of sustaining us. We have... public relations experts who have spun vampirism as a sort of... medical condition, treated by oral transfusion of blood. Quite clever. My kind have also been largely responsible for vampire literature in the last several centuries, leading to a sort of romanticized and indeed tolerant view of us. Humans view the bite as erotic. Many will come willingly to a nest to offer themselves in service, in the hopes that they will themselves become a vampire. It is a fear of death that drives them.
( stan liked those ones. liked crushing the hope in their eyes. it did not seem to matter how often godric told him to marshal himself, he did as he pleased. godric was not sorry for his loss. )
