The blood fountains!
Vampires are dancing!
I have read some stories about vampires in RL since I was a little girl. Those books nourished my imagination. I could not avoid falling love with the romantic, mysterious stories. Now I am still interested in vampires and hope I will have chance to experience it. However, it seems impossible in my RL. Where can I find a vampire? Therefore I have been visiting a region in SL. It is owned by some vampires. They make the place extremely gruesome. You can see some graves and blood fountains here. There are some dark buildings and strange tools on the streets. The former make the place colorless, and the latter let people can not help but strongly feel the horrible atmosphere. I was a little scared. Somehow I thought they will suddenly show up and bite me or something, and I will inevitably become a vampire when I have no intention to be so.
But I was totally wrong. After I really knew them well I realized they are “nice vampires”. It means that they won’t bite you if you refuse to be a vampire. The leader of them is an elegant lady. She told me that I am safe in this region because everyone is nice here. She also told me that there are many factions of vampires in SL. Sometimes other vampires visit them and have fun together.
With my observation, I find them really doing what vampires ought to do. They hold queer ceremonies. They round in a circle and they curse a lot. But astonishingly, I find that when they are doing those activities, they don’t actually pay attention to it. Once they were dancing and they invited me to join them. With the vocal chat I realized that they are discussing one member’s personal life in RL. The man told us a sad story about his unhappy marriage, and it was no relation to vampires! One time a vampire showed me to their beautiful beach. It is a very wonderful place and I often see them play there. They act like normal human-beings at the beach. They often hold party there and they even take sun-bath at the beach! Well, have you ever heard about vampires enjoying the sun light?
I interviewed a British. He told me the reason why he became a vampire in SL is because he has to save his friend beaten by vampires. He became a vampire and he gained the power to redeem the girl’ soul. He also told me that some people chose to be vampires just for fun. And I believe that why they chose to be vampire in SL is because they wanted to try something new. But what brings more fun to them is still the normal interaction.
