Pretty dangerous for a vampire to invest in a market that's only open during the day.

There's a lot I'd be willing to do for somebody that made me 10 times stronger than the average man and functionally immortal without the weakness of immediately bursting into flames under sunlight.

But I don't think I would kill people for them or bring them victims to kill.

I guess I would not be a very good ghoul.

But good ghouls get headpats!

That's the flavour of vampire mind control they never mention in the stories.

In 2024, we call that a C level position.

Witches have familiars, vampires have thralls—what do they even teach in school these days? /s

[–] ours@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Classic Bram Stoker uses "familiar" as well as "What we do in the shadows".

Vampire lore fiiiight!

Good time to invest in a cocaine producer.

Like some professional investors are not breathing in more cocaine than air to trade 24h around the globe. The current gap is on weekends.
