[Wow, he feels a little called out, but it's not like he can deny any of this.]

Should we schedule a time to talk face to face?

[il_mostro]

[Which is why Hannibal is doing it. He does love calling people out.]

I think if we are going to delve into this further -- that would be wise. When are you free?

[arkfall]

Any time.

How long do the first meetings usually take?

[il_mostro]

Anywhere from a half an hour to an hour. It depends on the number of questions that you have for me.

[arkfall]

You should probably expect a longer meeting.

[il_mostro]

An excellent suggestion. I shall schedule a block of two hours to speak of your in-human tendencies towards genocide for the betterment of your own people.

[arkfall]

How many non-humans have you worked with before?

[il_mostro]

At this point - five.

[arkfall]

Interesting.

My understanding is that you cannot share many details about them, but can you tell me at least what species they are?

[il_mostro]

Vampire, magi, and other.

[arkfall]

My understanding of vampires is that they were once human, is that correct? They've been changed, elevated above where they started?

[il_mostro]

It depends on the vampire, I believe, but yes, that is my basic understanding.

[arkfall]

And what of you? Are you fully human?

[il_mostro]

Well, I suppose it depends on your definition of human. Am I made of the same flesh, the same blood? Yes. However I am the owner of a sharper mind, and my body is more highly developed than most. I also have a sense of smell that borders, apparently, on legendary.

[arkfall]

I'm used to humans with strange abilities. It doesn't make them more than human.

[il_mostro]

Then consider me human, if it pleases your sensibilities.

[arkfall]

Did you use your abilities for anything when you back home?

[il_mostro]

Oh yes. I was ... am, a surgeon, a psychiatrist, musician, artist, chef, historian, mathematician.

[arkfall]

How does a human go to that much school? Your lives are so short...

[il_mostro]

I was a prodigy, and I am a genius.

Naturally.

[arkfall]

Naturally.

My brother would probably be amazed that you took such a limited amount of time and accomplished so much with it. When you have a longer life span, those things become less impressive. The same way that earning a degree in a year is more impressive than earning it in ten.

[il_mostro]

Yes, I can see how that would equate. I earned degrees in that amount of time, after all. Although I cannot believe it took you ten years to accomplish anything.

[arkfall]

Most of my goals were in the long term. And, once, my brother all but destroyed my body. That took some time to recover.

[il_mostro]

I see ... you must have something of a contentious relationship with your brother, then.

What are your long term goals, if I might be so inquisitive?

[arkfall]

It was foolish. I wanted to save my people.
