Tallon: Hey Marcus, I hear you went to see the new Ghostbusters last night. What did you think?
Marcus: <glowers>
Tallon: You think they treat vampires any better? Least you get some cool gear and nukes. Sparkle in the daylight….Jesus, Mary, and Joseph…
Hagatha: <snickers> We all know why Cousin Marcus went to the movies…
Melanie: Hey, Ghostbusters was hilarious. Holtzmann reminded me of someone…
Marcus: <gives her a look>
Melanie: <giggles>
Hagatha: What?
Tallon: She’s a mad scientist with funky hair and goggles….crazier than a shithouse rat
Hagatha: I resemble that remark
Tallon: So, Marcus, do you think anyone has depicted necromancers fairly in literature?
Marcus: You think I read fiction?
Melanie: I kind of like Curtis Donovan
Tallon: This is going to be some kind of obscure Brit TV reference isn’t it?
Melanie: Yes, actually. He was in the first four seasons of Misfits on the Beeb’s Channel 4. He could change biological sex and resurrect the dead….
Hagatha: Was he cute?
Melanie: Both male and female actors were, actually.
Elise: So do you like any of the fae in popular media?
Melanie: Does Jareth count?
Every woman in there: Jareth always counts…
Marcus: He was a goblin
Melanie: If you’re going to get technical, then I’ll take the Wee Free Men from Terry Pratchett. Nac Mac Feegle is pretty cool.
Hagatha: I bet he’s going to look that up to see if he’s cute!
Melanie: Books are on my tablet….
Melanie: Tallon, what about vampires?
Tallon: Spike. I like the character. I love the name. Kat, who do you like?
Kat: Who I’d like to kill is the woman who said vampires sparkle….
