What, through vibrations or heartbeat?

[Damned useful, but only if one isn't fighting the undead.]

[ooc: Obviously that was supposed to read Tilts his head slightly, like a dog.]

Mm, I would rather say it is closer to their 'energy'.

[Souls, really, but he'd rather not specify that since he suspects that'd give Trevor ideas as to what kind of diet Sebastian keeps. So as usual when he wants to get away from a subject, he keeps talking:]

With that said, my ability to pick up on vibrations and heartbeat exceeds that of a human. [And begins walking forward once more.]

Since you are a professional monster hunter, have your weapons any such abilities when it comes to detecting monsters?

[atowncalledtreffy]

[ooc: but god works so much better!]

Plenty. The problem is, you need magic to use a lot of them. And I was never 'blessed' with that particular bloodline gift.

And I only have Vampire Killer with me, and she's less a 'detect evil' sensation and more a 'destroy black magic' sensation.

[untiltheend]

Hmhm. Admittedly, the idea of humans having actual magic with no smokes and mirrors is still a somewhat alien concept to me... but I do understand how that would be a handicap for you in your own world.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Really? Maybe the Church actually murdered all the magic in your world early on, then. They're definitely trying to get close to doing it in mine.

[untiltheend]

They did not. [He says without offering any explanation as to why he's so sure of that. Sebastian may or may not be old enough to pre-date Christianity, but either way he definitely knows other demons that are.]

The witch trials that once took place in England as well as in other countries were acts of superstition, ignorance, and outdated attitudes towards women, nothing more.

[Sebastian Michaelis: modern man, feminist icon.]

[atowncalledtreffy]

Mostly women. A few men. Some children.

And ignorance of what? Witches are real. Demons, vampires, both are real. The fact that the Church can't seem to mark one for their fucking lives does nothing to prevent my people living in terror.

[untiltheend]

We do come from different worlds, sir. I am not trying to imply witches are not real in yours - in mine, however, they are not.

Although I suppose one thing that remains consistent across worlds is the clergy of all religions being driven by ignorance and incompetence both.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Maybe there's one world out there where the Church does more good than evil.

[untiltheend]

Ahh, who knows... In my world, at least, religious institutions have done much to preserve literature and art throughout the ages, much of which is quite enjoyable to partake in, so at least they are not all bad.

[atowncalledtreffy]

[He nods, not knowing much from art or literature but loving people who do. He halts at the beginning of a cave entrance]

I hear voices. We're getting close.
