General WoD Discussion #2: Its time to Celebrate!

[TheCountAlucard]

I still posit that the Twilight "vampires" aren't fairies, either; they're clearly the results of alien nanite-based technology.

Okay, think about it: the "vampires" are affected down to the cellular level by the presence of a substance in their systems; introduce this substance to a regular human, and it will start working on that person, too. It keeps them in top condition, perfecting their weaknesses and even bestowing what seem like improbable superpowers that shouldn't exist in a world of science and not magic. Sounds like just the sort of thing a batch of nanites could do, yeah? Either that, or it's just magic. But it's not magic. Because the author said so. So who made these nanites? Couldn't have been humans; our tech's not that advanced, and even if it was, the sparklepires have been around longer than that; some of them are as old as the Roman Empire. Who, then? Aliens. Aliens made the nanites, and started the whole thing. They were also probably the ones who killed the real vampires, too, so that their hellish abominations could exist without competition.

As for why the aliens would do such a thing, my guess is that they need to generate massively-dense objects, possibly for some sort of black hole project.

You see, the sparklepires drink and drink and drink blood, but never, ever excrete. They don't sweat or vomit or pee or poop or breathe or do anything that would stop them gaining mass as they continue their eternal existence; see, in other vampire media, the blood is consumed by the magic fueling the vampire's unlife to maintain its dark powers or whatever; hey, it's magic. That doesn't happen here.

So logically by the time one gets to the age of a Methuselah from VtR, you have a millions-pound mass confined in a human-sized space. Just think on that for a sec.

Alternatively, the extra mass is done away with in a fashion that seems to break the Law of Conservation of Matter. That's not the only natural law they break, though.

See, the "vampires" are also always ice-cold to the touch, even when logic dictates that if their bodies aren't working to maintain human temperatures, they'd only be at around room temperature. So perhaps the nanites are serving to siphon off heat energy from our planet and beam the energy to the alien home world. I dunno, makes more sense than what Meyer wrote!
