Harmony giggled at the man standing on the other side of the bars. Really, he was the cutest thing ever. "Of course not," she said. "Why would I want to?"

"There's nothing about being human that you miss?" Dr. Jackson tried again, inquisitive blue eyes wide behind his glasses. "Going out in the daylight? Eating real food?"

"Oh, I can eat real food," she shrugged. Didn't he know anything? "It just doesn't taste right anymore. But why would I want to trade that for being weaker? Having a pesky soul again? Getting wrinkles?" She shuddered at the thought.

"You're still convinced, then, that you don't have a soul?" he asked, looking troubled. "You've said you believe the uh, vampire demon took its place. But what if it's just trapped under the parasitic spirit-- isn't there some part of you that wants to be free?"

He stared at her, intently, as though looking for something in her eyes. Harmony scoffed at him. "For such a smart guy, you're really pretty dumb, aren't you. Look, I've met a vampire who had his soul restored, and let me tell you, it wasn't pretty. All that angst is totally bad for the waistline. But I'm harmless, seriously! I usually eat animal blood! You don't have to put me in this sarc-thingy; I won't hurt anyone else!"

"I wish I could believe that," Dr. Jackson said, regretfully. Then lifted something that looked like a really bizarre dildo. He pressed a button, and it changed shape in a way that really didn't change her opinion of it-- but did change her opinion of him a little.

"Oooh, kinky, Dr. J," she said, pressing up against the bars again. "Going to let me out after all?"

The thing spat unexpected blue fire-- and she knew no more.

Is this where Daniel says "oops!" when she turns into ashes? ;-)

[beatrice_otter]

Ooooh. I can only imagine what led up to this scene.

[jedibuttercup]

Heee. Probably. =)

[jedibuttercup]

Something epically entertaining, no doubt, given that this is Harmony; but I don't have much desire to immerse myself in her POV long enough to write it. =)

[beatrice_otter]

Quite understandable.

*snerk*

I never would've thought to put these two in a room together, but they're hilarious. :)

Hmmm... I wonder what happens if you put a vampire in a sarcophagus... A souless non-blood sucker? Someone like Angel only without the drive for redemption? Interesting...

[jedibuttercup]

=) Harmony's a hoot, and I ♥ Daniel.

Glad you got a laugh out of it!

[jedibuttercup]

I'm not really sure; but I figured Daniel might reason that if a sarcophagus can restore any body that hasn't been dead long enough for decay to set in (which I think is the limits of the thing...?) and vampirism prevents the body from decaying, why not try it and see?

[sg-betty.livejournal.com]

It's certainly worth a try. The worst thing that could happen is a really healthy vampire. ;)
