The Chronicles of James Damian


 

“We now walk amongst the humans. Though as I said earlier, if the sun is out, we generally aren’t going to do much. You see, even though the sunlight doesn’t kill us, it limits us physically. You wont be seeing any of us lifting people off of the ground, or moving quicker than you can perceive. As a matter of fact, if you see someone waking down the street with a pair of fangs it more than likely means that you need to get behind a threshold because the night is fast approaching. And take it from me, you do not want to be around a vampire who’s spent all day in the sun.

“Things get messy when that happens.”

- Samuel Lasher to James Damian

Paris, France c. 1522

  • News: New layout… again… (November 19th, 2008)

    Well ladies and germs, it would appear that the template fairy has come to drop off a new template.

    The main reason for the switch is that I’ve grown weary of hearing “Grey on black is so droll” or “It hurts my eyes.” I also didn’t realize JUST how true this was for me either until [...]
