Poll
Question:
So, you die and have to come back as one of the following (had to) which one and why?
Option 1: werewolf
votes: 1
Option 2: vampire
votes: 6
Option 3: ghost
votes: 9
Option 4: zombie
votes: 0
Option 5: Necromancer
votes: 2
I struggle with this, I wonder which is the best to come back as and realize there are many pluses and minuses in each category. I think the werewolf has the most well adjusted life, vampires can work night-shift, ghost can go anywhere they want and sometime move stuff
Zombies, I believe that they are rational creatures as death occurs, go through rigor mortise after a few hours stumbling around losing motor function and the sheer pain unleashed in the walking dead who only have weeks to hunt fresh flesh, the only food that helps quench the constant decay of the body.
Necromancers can change shapes but are living creatures and can be killed easily.
So some sound more fun than others, but think out the goods and bads and vote. TY.
Vampire as long as it was in the form of Anne Rice's vampire model

Vampire by far. Just too much good going for them until they run into Blade. Or a wooden stake in the chest.
I'm going with Vampire because Vampire women turn me on, I know its kinda weird, think its the teeth. You asked. :-D
...JP
Werewolf, for sure.
So I have to shave a lot and take a sick day at That Time Of The Month. Not much change, really. Plus, a hot date for me would be, like, a jar of peanut butter.
On the downside, if I croaked before either of my current dogs, I would spend a lot of time wrestling for dominance. So I'd have to gain weight or something, 'cause my Newfie really likes to romp and wrestle, and she's 130 lbs.
Going with Vampire on this one.
Vampire men turn me on :evil: :evil: (eat your heart out JP - that a pun) The whole vampire thing is extremely sexy, but I think it could get boring living forever unless you turned into a vampire in the prime of your life. I always loved Dracula when I was growing up.

Not sure JP if I asked what turns you on, but thanks for the info :idunno:
I don't think I ever thanked Annette in public for the fine ZOMBIE DESK CALENDAR she sent to me. Annette, I have it taped to the inside of my locker door at work at head height - every time I go into work, I unlock the locker and read that days marvelous insight to the Walking Dead. Needless to say, I think of you often when looking at this great present. Thanks so much again, very cool.
Noticed I didn't vote for Zombie either, it's just as I write my novelette here, I can't help but feel the Main Character Zombie is who tells the story in his mind both before and after death - I see the world he now lives in, one with few living, always detoxin from fresh flesh (he was a drug addict prior, and drug withdraw is nothing like seeing and smelling living flesh - it is the Zombies only drug of choice, but as much for survival (or longevity) cause of slight restorative powers in fresh flesh.
I wrote one scene where pheromones, something the zombies themselves produce iiin groups which create pack movement. As a pack, they hunt better and are both better defensively and offensively. In this scene, Brian is walking and feels urgency as he gets cattle-run into a pack of nearly a thousand zombies who can see 20 humans just off shore half a mile on a small island. I''m not giving my plot away, but the group mentality, shows that even in death, the desire to exist is strong and there is strength in numbers.
I feel for my character, detoxes heroin just in time to barely get bit by a walker, the next nearly 2 weeks is his story - told from his thoughts as all humanity seeps away and primal urges are all that is left. Coming out here in mid to late March.
So, Zombie is not my first choice by far, I have empathy for them.
I picked ghost, but it was a very close third to vampire and werewolf. Because: vampire - extremely serious sunlight allergy, and something about drinking blood -forever- just unappealing.
Werewolf - may accidentally chew up some close friends, being housebroken may also be a problem.
Ghost - no special diet, weather, stakes, and sudden urges to puncture, chew or otherwise alienate friends not a problem.
Ghost so I could mess with people's head's especially my step kid's who treat our house like a store at the end of the month but they don't pay for any thing. Think about what kind of fun you could have in the Whitehouse right now. :-D
If by GHOST we mean Earthly Bound Spirit, if you added "occupying anyone's body for a life time (I know sounding Buddhist a bit) but lets say you can move around, occupying different peoples bodies - I might go that. If you can shop, their are some pretty cool people you'd get to choose from.
Begs a question.... If you could "Mentally move in" for 1 week or year of ANYONE, who would it be?
I know my quirky thing I'd like to happen is have dinner with Bill Clinton (can't help it, he grew on me and they were much better times for everyone - danged Democrat) but all politics aside, who would you be for a day, week, what ever???

That's a good question John I'll have to think about that.

Thanks John and I am so glad you are enjoying it and gathering lots of information. Never know when you will need to refer to it. :- :rainbowflower: :rainbowflower:

Osama Bin Laden. Day 6 Hour 23:58 begin a seriously damaging suicide video note then at hour 23:59:49 - Off the highest cliff available.
You need more than minute to make a really good damaging suicide video. :evil: Think of the possibilities.

You need more than a minute to prepare it, it only takes a second to film it.
I chose ghost, see if I could float around whispering sweet things in people's ears. Try to balance out all the bad committed under the direction of possession. "The devil made me do it!"
I would definitely be a Werewolf because instead of paying high food prices, I could just eat roadkill. Plus, I think it would be nice to comb my face every morning.
Having Roadkill Roulette for dinner is a nice feature. Imagine though, if roadkill were all we had to eat, raw and how nature left it for us - barf. It truly is not a Disney world to prey out there (especially with Werewolves around) although I believe that Movies and books have lead us to believe that it is only during the period the Full Moon is in the sky does the werewolf turn from human to beast - not a bad deal. I think I could even feast a day and give up roadkill :)

I have seen some very appetizing Road Kill. The best thing is, it's usually already gutted for you. Just grab and go. Last summer, I saw slightly smoooshed Rock Chuck that could have fed a family of six at least twice.
I don't have a problem with fresh roadkill, been there done that, but I cook all game before eating.

WHAT? getting tired of that LA pickup line??? "Nice Tooth!"
Ghost. Always wanted to be a Fly on the Wall at some secret event. And of the choices it's the only one that doesn't have to feed, sleep, or risk death again.
I have to say ghost because everything else on the list would be hunted and killed by all the villagers.

not picky there, I'd float as a separate entity and get to know all including whats on the poll.
hmm, I don't see the likes of Furyan, Lycan, Guardian Angel and many others.
Guardian Angels

I had to go with Necromancer because i already am hairy enough. Don't see road kill as an option. With a vampire i don't have dental insurance so that's an issue keeping both those pearly whites good and sharp. Besides does anyone know of a midnight dentist? Ghosts aren't all that interesting especially when your just a image that people can walk though kinda puts a damper on things of the flesh. As for a Zombie who wants to walk around without thinking? Wait nevermind i know people that already fit that discription. So calling up spirts of dead people would probably be the best way to go about it. I mean let's think about it who wouldn't want to sit down with people from the past? Have relatives to still talk to that are long gone. Ooooh and you can always summon up Hitler for coffee just to ask what the were you thinking?
I also thought of Aliens living amoung us - the Tall Greys (the ones in the giant triangle shaped craft) are living it up in Vegas - they appear somewhat Middle Eastern and play the low stakes games. Their vision supposedly allows them to see the colors and print THRU playing cards.
They live a good cash only life style, not showing up on the radar too much except for facial recognition software used in casinos, supposedly a trained eye can spot a tall gray fairly easily. Gee... the things you learn on talk radio :)
I could do my best to disappear into the open shadows of an off the grid life style. Sort of Bruce Banner in the Hulk, I wouldn't hitchhike, except to the bus station maybe. But imagine having ample and ready money available and just travel the US would be wonderful. I really have no need to travel outside the US, too much to do here still, before I ever leave our country - minus maybe a cruise I enjoy one of them back in '89
