vamps being vamps?

[nosferata]

[ modern times require modern sensibilities, and a willingness to accept newfound means of sourcing information. at least this is the rationale mina reiterates to herself as she spends hours skimming various forums internet and its darker counterpart. it's numbing work but for every two or three dozen bits of nonsense, there is the occasional kernel of reality — a true monster sighted amidst all the bigfoot claims and conspiracy theories.

besides, it isn't as if there's much else she can accomplish during daylight hours. at her age she only needs so much sleep and there's a truth to what idle hands may do. so here she sits and skims... and sighs at the rampant butchering of language in most of these comments. honestly— she isn't expecting shakespeare by any means but good lord.

eventually she notices the pattern: disparate usernames but the same syntax posted across multiple websites, always asking directly relevant questions about the whys and wherefores of a vampire. mina considers and concludes that there are three possibilities:

ⅰ. an author crowd-sourcing yet another fantasy fiction in hopes of becoming the next anne rice;
ⅱ. another unhinged, maladjusted subculture devotee fantasising over the undead to an unhealthy degree;
ⅲ. or someone with actual experience and no other idea of where to turn to.

the first seems unlikely as there were plenty of places more up-and-up to source, whereas the third warrants at least a token inquiry and the second will make it easy enough to dismiss if said inquiry proves to go nowhere worthwhile.
