Is he alive or dead though?

And actually, in a wolf pack, there generally aren't fights over mates. Using the alpha male/female in that sense is a mistake. Generally, ONLY the alphas mate. Sometimes the alpha male mates with betas, and if the pack can handle the increased population, sometimes betas mate. But generally, because overpopulation will kill a wolf pack, the alpha wolves do NOT allow other wolves to mate. A bit of teeth snapping, tail between the legs, maybe even a submissive roll onto the back, and it's a done issue.

I know - I'm just going for the laughs. Still there's always rival pack fights so could be a dinner party with a Werewolf from across the ther side of town...

Hierarchy would be worked out at the very beginning of the dinner party, and would likely not be transgressed.

Pheeuw. The brulee is safe :D

Quote:
I'd be a lone wolf anyway, so I'm not too concerned.

So what d'ya do to be run from the pack eh?.. Still I have to agree. If I were cursed as a werewolf I'd go it alone too, and I'd howl at the moon with solitary glee!

He'd be alive, because he wouldn't BE a vampire, in that case. And half-vampires don't drink blood either... And I don't think they're immortal. Though I think they do have a curse. Lots of them become vampire hunters because they hate their nonhuman parent, and for good reason. And they're good at it because being a dhampir allows them to see things, and in ways they couldn't otherwise, plus gives them a boost in strength.

Wolf packs are territorial. Either they wouldn't associate with each other, or the packs would merge together and dinner table hierarchy would be determined in the manner I've already described.

I'm seeing the funny! don't worry, i'm giggling through most of this.

The point I a was making about wolves/dogs was that a wolf would go to the park and it would turn into a scene from a disaster movie. First people would stop and stare in befuddlement at the problem (our wolf) then the first woman would scream, then they'd all start screaming, then there would be running around willy nilly and the snatching up of babies apart from that one abandoned child who would sit in the sandpit and wail and then the park would empty, wailing toddler n'all.

Still, at least then i'd get free run of the slides - i likes slides i do.

As long as the creme brulee is safe.

Cheers for the update Bytemite. I'm going to have to re-watch blade to know exactly what he is supposed to be now. I'm still confussed on why he was taking that injection. Anyway cheers.

Yeah - yeah I'm seeing it. It's working. By the way great use of the word "Befuddlement" :D

Hey who doesn't. Slides are tops. Wish they made adult ones that slid from work to home! Now that's a commute.

I've seen two thoughts on whether a female human can have a vampire's child.

Yes from Twilght. One time and wham bamm you're pregnant with a monster that'll kill you being born, if not before.

Or you can take the Tru Blood idea, vamps are dead, no little swimmers to worry about but boy oh boy they are much better than human males in bed(and you only have to put up with them at night and are starting to look more and more like the perfect guy!).

But you do end up with pesky puncture marks that you hsve to explain and more than likely anemia.

Those are pop culture reinterpretation. The slavic people, who came up with the baseline for the popular notion of the vampire, believed that half humans were possible. So that's what I consider the mythos.

No problems. One of my internet friends is doing her Phd thesis in Russian literature on vampires in Russian literature. I hope she lets me read it when she gets it finished.

I just got the first 7 Sookie Stackhouse novels in the mail this morning from Amazaon so I'll likely be taking Tru Blood to task as to vampire lore.

I have read the first one. It's gory, funny, sexy and frightening all at once. I'm already mad at the TV series. Alan Ball had Bill kill Longbow and it was Eric that did it and saved Sookie in the novel.

Would rather be a Vamp more perks, less transformation pain, no having to steal clothes or walk around naked in public places when you morf back, more control over your transformations etc....having said that I have been known to howl at the fool moon so maybe it's outta my hands.
