and here I thought I'd be bored with all the young people around so... who wants to learn about the Boer War? How about the Great War? A pint of the correct beer and you'll get the best analysis of The Fall of Troy ever. Just name of the correct beer. I like drunk stories.

No, you silly man, Ricky is only a werewolf. He has never been a vampire. If you check the previous games, those that are always the vampires are me and Nor. Even when I wasn't playing I was a vampire. Of course this doesn't mean that we'll be always the vampires by default, so yeah, this cannot be a clue. It's the dice that picks us, not our reputation.

I like how Ricky's only been a werewolf thrice out of the 11 games

No, no, no - my drunk stories are revisionary - and quite silly ones at that. I could be on a spiel about the Battle of Little Big Horn, and then suddenly claim that Frank Sinatra was the hero of said battle.
Fortunately, years of drinking have improved my alcohol tolerance.
Tell you what - for a Guinness I'll tell you about one of my better digs

*takes a sip*
So, my colleges and I were doing a dig in Hungary, in the ruins of an old castle. We found all sorts of priceless artifacts there - most of them are in the Smithsonian now. One of the more interesting finds was a large ornate wooden coffin. On the front was the strangest symbol I'd ever seen.
Now, I've been known to hold some superstition in the past - we all did at the time. Mummy's curse and all that - so we dragged it out into broad daylight and opened it up - while quickly ducking for cover in case something attacked - but all that was inside was a silver cross, a wooden stake, and a clove of garlic.
We offered various museums the casket, but nobody was interested - so we sold it to a very eccentric collector - the money he paid us was ridiculous, but he wouldn't pay a penny less - so we accepted a very large amount of money - it was enough that, even after funding my children's education my wife and I - God rest her soul - could have lived very comfortably without working for years.

"Hm... This is a very interesting story... But your findings sound a little weird. Why would someone pay so much money for something that appears to be so useless?" Laurie asked and took a sip from her own drink.

Ricky's werewolfness means that he can also be a vampire.

So Ricky is the werewolf... EVEN WHEN HE'S NOT. That could mean that he's not really a werewolf but could be called that sometimes... HE'S A SKINWALKER! Even worse; HE'S THE ALPHA! I totes figured that out by myself ;D Also: supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/SkinwalkerAlso: I should really stop watching that show... xD

"Ah, you're still young enough to underestimate the lengths collectors will go to in order to get unique things - especially insane, and ridiculously rich ones. He never did explain where he got the money - I bet he was a mafia man.
Anyways, this was all just before the Great Depression, so in the end I don't feel guilty about it. I caught up with him recently, he still has the coffin, keeps it in a large room with a number of other artifacts. He said he collects all things vampires, and you'd believe it if you saw the room - coffins, crosses, stakes, silver bullets, crossbows - hell, he has one that he claims was given to him by Dr van Helsing. I asked him if he ever felt like he spent too much - he honestly felt that it was one of his cheaper purchases.
The lesson you should take from this is that you shouldn't underestimate the lengths collectors will go to sometimes. If you have something even remotely rare - no matter how useless it is - somebody will want to pay a large sum of money for it"

OOC:Lycans are mortal enemies of the vampires, Ricky could never be an effective vampire - unless he somehow committed suicide since he's always a werewolf.
And besides- the best vampire ever...has only been a vampire once.
*raises his hand* Hey, could I get another shot of rum please?

*yawns* Sleepy me is sleepy... night everyone!
WAIT! Two things:
First: OOC. If I leave first then Kev could make a vamp attack me! =S
Second: IC. I think I'll stay for some more drinks... I'm not so sleepy after all.

Laurie opened her bottle of rum and poured some in Royan's glass, without turning away from the Professor and without losing a drop. "Does anyone else want a drink? I don't want to miss the story."

Silly Aust. Frank Sinatra WAS the hero of Little Big Horn.

Gary wanders back into the bar. "I'll have a small drink I guess. Got any aquavit back there?"

whispers to Laurie Hey, before the professor tells his story - mind if I ask you something?
Are you single? - no this isn't a come on, frankly you're not my type and I know I'm not yours - just asking...for someone.
Loud enough to be heard by everyone Hey professor! I think we're all pretty eagerly awaiting that story of yours.
