[quote=MrDidact] That's pretty much right. The other half of it is that Superman and other comic-book Archetypes are so heavily engrained in the public conscious that when the Awakening happened a bunch of people gained powers emulating classic heroes. Others became supernatural in nature because of personal mythological interests. So yes a bunch of vampire wannabes actually did turn vamp :P Many are still pretty lame. Also my upcoming post is gonna give Krein something to comment on and develop the slaughter house but I decided to roll out the big guns mid-morning tomorrow just to give everyone a little bit more time to get settled. [/quote] Fine by me. You have no idea how many fricking times I've written the word "slaughterhouse" in my attempts to post something. Since everyone is basically posting a novel page worth of stuff, I felt I had a lot to write and a lot to keep interesting, but I just couldn't do it with having Abaddon just sneak around and wait for stuff to happen.
