You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love, (and a pesky curse) defanged me. Now I'm just a big fluffy puppy with bad teeth.

Mr. Krabs: Oh, no! I've seen this on the late show! You ghoulish fiends hold me down and take turns nibbling on me innards, then you'll eat my brain and leave my body for the buzzards!
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen: That's disgusting! We just want the hat back!

The first time I changed, I was looking up at one of the moons. It seemed so perfect, so peaceful, that I wanted to sing my joy for all to hear. I threw back my head and my cry changed from a scream to a howl in mid-note. I was astonished, but not frightened, because it felt... right. I ran through the forest that night, my sharp new senses opening up a whole new world to me.
The Witch Hunters say that I must be wicked, that I've consorted with Chaos. I have done no such thing. I pray to Sigmar. I have never harmed anyone who did not try to harm me first. When the forces of the Vampire Count Manfred came to attack a village that I had been staying at, my abilities allowed me to know about it far in advance and I raised an alarm that saved many lives. Yet the Empire's authorities would call me a mutant and kill me if they could.
Do you know what has changed the most about me? I'm now glad I'm not human, for a small and petty race you are.

And then there are those who lay low. Not all are murderous beasts. You will never hear of them. In a world of apocalyptic conflicts, they are invisible. They are the vampires that lead anonymous, quiet lives, feeding only from consenting donors or partners. They are out there. They might be the manager of a motel, the one running the register at the all-night adult bookstore, or even someone you know. The mirrors do not reveal them.

Warren: You're planning on leading us into that Vampire's clutches!
Friendly Skeleton: The only thing Jeremy likes to clutch is more leather for making footwear.
Lenny: He's a Vampire... Cobbler.
Skeleton: Don't ask me how this crap works. We didn't get to choose what we became...

Juliette: That man has a family, people who love him! How do you think they're gonna feel when they realize he's never coming back!?
Elinor: This is who we are, Jules. I go out and feed, our parents go out and feed. At some point, you're gonna have to stop feeling guilty for doing what you need to do to survive."
Juliette: You're right. Mom and Dad go out and feed. That's not what we did tonight. We don't have to kill to survive.
