Downtown Khazan: Siriel's Temporary Edition

[Omegalith]

...don't the vampire's already ignite on contact with it? <_<

Usually more of an acid effect.

Why just melt when you can melt and scorch?

Plus, try setting fire to a tomb or a creepy old castle or mansion with water.

[Beadle]

It's possible to bless substances containing large amounts of water to make it as effective as pure Holy Water, right?

So, why is it that you don't see people getting themselves blessed? They're essentially bags of water and watery things, after all.

I want to see a Teen Vampire Angst movie get turned on its head by someone using Holy Water Bombs.

Given that the protagonists of said films tend to be mopey and largely nonviolent, the water baloonists would technically be the villians... Which is still a better story. The Vampires overcome their bullies and in the process man up, stop being angsty teens and learn to get on with and appreciate their unlives.

Starts as a typical angsty romance with Vampires, but swiftly develops into a quirky coming of age comedy. With Vampires.

On your quest to retrieve the Orb of Decimation you come across a mighty river inhabited by Abyssal Linnorms and Styx Dragons.

The only bridge across has an Exsanguination Station, that is to say a toll point run by Vampires, who have been granted a permit to operate by the King in exchange for their services keeping the bridge free of Hellwyrms.

What do you do?

They're Vampires, acting within the Law. As long as they aren't killing random people or anything, I don't see a problem with paying any tolls (of money) they want.

They don't want your money.

On the plus side, they are at least using syringes instead of their mouths.

Off the top of my head:

- She's the primary source of the excessive needless fanservice. Not the only one, but the most prominent. Like, you have this tense situation/awesome fight and then BAM!, Miu fanservice/comedy which completely ruins the moment.
- I dislike the way she's drawn. She just looks ridiculous in fights.
- Her being generally always above Kenichi (and most characters around their age) because genetics annoys me, because it undermines the message of the series that effort can surpass talent.
- Her personality is completely uninteresting to me.
- She takes screentime away from vastly more interesting characters without actually providing anything interesting.

None of that would individually lead to me really disliking her, but together? Yeah.

Ah. The fanservice I just...gloss over. Don't care for it, just keep on going to more interesting bits.

Kinda like her face myself. Her clothes tend to look ridiculous though, and not even in an awesome way.

General superiority over most disciples makes sense to me personally. She's grown up in the martial arts world surrounded by masters of insane caliber, including being raised by the single strongest martial artist ever. Frankly, if anything it'd make sense if she was more skilled, but she's kept at a certain power level to make her good for alternatively saving Kenichi or getting surprise-beat down to show how strong the antagonists are.

I quite liked Odin/Ryuto. Siegfried is awesome but he's just a bit too ridiculous for me to say he's one of my favourite.

Siegfried's training scenes in Tibet had me in stitches.

Characters I like in the series are as follows:

- Seigfried because he's really awesome.
- Thor because he's a giant sumo man and apparently has a harem of kung fu cheerleaders on hand.
- Takeda because he's actually kind of interesting and conflicted as a character, his relationship to Kenichi is fun and interesting. His infatuation with Miu is just like... oh god no...
- Nijima because he's rad, Machiavellian and an alien.
- Hermit because he's interesting, conflicted and a good example of the antihero archetype done well.
- Ukita because... well, because he's Ukita.
- Ryuuto because he's a good foil to Kenichi and he's genuinely conflicted.

Also, most of the masters.

Akisame's my personal favourite master. Cemented with 'EVEN WITH THIS MUCH DONE TO HIM THE RECIPIENT IS IN NO DANGER OF DYING!!'.

Nothing is more entertaining than Nijima on the run.

I was thinking more along the lines of sodium and water.

You have nukes for big stuff like that. Or cheap pyrokinetic thugs.

Well that could be one type of story. Another would be a messy slaughter.

Which sounds more like the premise of a game actually. Come to think of it, with all the people who dislike emo teen vampire, it's surprising none of them made a video game where you kill emo vampires.

A novel idea. Another one that I don't think has been done. Maybe because centuries old vampires coming of age strikes people as funny.

What do you do?

Since I'm not 100% certain of the capabilities of any of the above creatures, I probably fly across the river. I almost always keep a few levitation spells handy.

Of course, I can give them my blood as well. It's easily replenishable, and not really worth much. I might actually be getting the better deal there.

Styx Dragons are an actual D&D monster, being one of the various forms of Dragon who have evolved to live in the afterlife.

Basically think a huge brown serpent with a green dorsal frill, two small arms, wings that have adapted into swimming appendages and a forked tail ending in barbed spines. Spits gouts of acid made from the memory draining watersof the River Styx.

No, I shall not. I shall instead imagine a fuzzy white four-winged adorable dragon who can be summoned with a drum and is the baby form of a planet-rending beast of the apocalypse.

Harry Dresden does that with water balloons quite often.

He regularly goes to high schools where whiny emo vampires gripe about their relationship problems and bombs them with Holy Water?

Not since he made them extinct.
