Happy Anniversary, Jilli and Pete!!!
Thank you!
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Assumptions for the math: that vampires feed once a month and that when they feed, a human dies and a vampire is created.
Hmmph. I hold that smart vampires would not kill their prey every time they feed, because killing off the food supply is a bad plan.

Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!
There are children and families trick or treating in my building. They are loud.

It's nice to see modern science dealing so rationally with vampires and zombies.

I am pretty sure it's turn two, the rest are food.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, you and Harmony are in agreement.
I'm just not sure I want that company.
Okay, between 2 & 3 I have a break, but the space in my calendar looks booked (why, yes, I am that person I complained about--but I only do it two hours a week, and sometimes I go to those meetings...) so I might lie down. Feel gross.
Which I'm sure is unrelated to the free pizza lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's hysterical. And I also question their assumptions!
I realize a big chunk of my job is playing telephone, but it is EXHAUSTING. Also I'm supposed to be working on the big project I mentioned earlier!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
(I'd assume more frequent feeding and that humans might just flat out die and not resurrect as a vampire), but that would shorten the projects of humanity wipe out, not lengthen.
No it wouldn't - turning someone every time is how you get the exponential increases in number of vamps that creates catstrophic failure of the ecosystem.
I do recall seeing a similar theory about whether or not you should be afraid of zombies. Zombies I think we can presume either kill or turn with every contact. Therefore, if zombies were fast and hence dangerous, they would have wiped out humanity in short order. So clearly zombies are either a) not real or b) not something you need to worry about.
