This isn't so much his most current, because he frequents all of them, pending his mood. That's just his favorite. "2000 for me."

"I haven't been to London in ages. I think the last time I was there Henry VIII was king."

"Ahh, now that was an interesting time." grinning, "Much has changed since then."

There's a soft chuckle. "Cars, guns, people are more cramped into smaller spaces. And other things that make the time more interesting." There's a small tilt of his head. "Though I think I'll always miss the need to travel by horseback."

"Yes there is certainly a downside to all the technology. It was also easier to disapear." she thinks he understands that.

He does. It's hard to go for thousands of years and have the neighbors wonder why you look so much like your father, grandfather, great grandfather, etc. And then there's explaining why you have all this money when you are an only child and don't seem to have any living relatives.

"No one questioned about that man that lived a solitary life on the hill either. Now days, you have to register with the government and all that."

"Definetely. Though that isn't to say that those like us don't manage. Forged documents, hackers breaking into the computers and entering our data." with a chuckle, "People have become so accustomed to trusting computers it's almost comical." yes she find it amusing, "But I must say I enjoy indoor plumbing and current hygine."

"My time hasn't gotten completely reliable on computers just yet. Though, most of my kind don't really like computers either. We just end up creating our own cities and guard them from the general populace."

There's a nod of agreement. "Indoor plumbing and the current hygiene are much appreciated though. Sometimes I wonder why it wasn't invented sooner."

"Well some societies were ahead of there time in such things but things like that get forgotten and then remembered again. All in how civilizations evolve."

"Immortals on your world live together?" she smiles thinking of how wonderfula thing that could be.

"True. It's just the forgetting part that gets annoying. Except in battles and the like. Then it's entertaining to watch them make the same mistakes over and over, even when they know the history."

He gives a small shake of his head. "Vampires, though we are immortal. And yea we live together in some areas. Not always a good idea, as we tend to fight a lot, but it's better than nothing I guess."

[please for slowtime, because class.]

"Yes they still haven't grasped the learn from history or your doomed to repeat it. Amazing how they don't understand howmuch things have changed and yet stayed the same." she has had conversations with mortals in the bar who have disagreed with her.

There's a soft chuckle. "I tend to find that it's more because while the world around us changes and evolves the thought process of most of humanity stays the same. Until they learn to think outside the box when it comes to war, then, maybe they won't repeat history."

There is no argument from Amanda there. "How very true. Unfortunately with todays technology many who control the choice choice of going to war or not are so far removed from it that they don't fully understand it."

There's a nod. "It was better in the old days when those that controled the choices rode with the rest of the men. They didn't sit in an office with a list of names of those who died, they watched the sword or spear go through and kill the men. Made war actually mean something back then."

"In the end the true losers are the innocent who are stuck in the middle of it all." she sighs, this topic is far too depressing at the moment, "There are somethings about this time that are enjoyable though. The exploration that has been done and there are at least in some places a reverence for the past."

There's a small shrug. Innocents don't bother him that much.
"True. It's interesting watching the exploration and watching them speculate what life was like that long ago. Electricity is useful. Guns, not so much. What's your favorite part of the present?"

Besides to afore mentioned in door plumbing which to be fair the Romans had had to an extent, "I would have to say the nightlife."

Lots of societies back then had advancements in certain areas. They've just been mostly forgotten. Like Ancient Egypt and their electricity. "Nightlife can be fun. Especially the clubs that are all around now. All the music and people."

"Yes the clubs are very entertaining. And a decent source of income when you get right down to it."

There's an agreeable nod. "And food for my kind." Because it's far easier to lead someone out of the club when they've been drinking.

"Vampire then?" she smiles, Amanda hasn't had too many problems with vampires and this one seems more well tempered then those she has had problems with.

There's a grin, though it doesn't show fang. "Yep. Have been for a couple thousand years."
Most of the vampires from Aubrey's world are well tempered. If they aren't they make it easier for the witches to hunt them down.

Vampires on his world are hunted by witches? Interesting.

"Impressive. Or are vampires of your age common on your world?" she thinks that perhaps they are as they live in peace with each other. At least to a degree.

The have the slightly heightened strength and are trained to deal with the mental tricks. Though that doesn't stop some humans, once they've learned about vampires, to train and try hunting on their own.

"The older you get the few there are of that age group. Constant territory battles, or just pissing each other off can wipe us out as fast as those who hunt us." There's a slight shrug. It's a natural selection that lets those as old as Jaguar live as long as they do. Which would be close to the ten thousand age.

Fools really. Okay maybe it's for their own survival but still Amanda like's this vampire as far as she can tell.

Wow, that's some life span, "It's much the same way for my kind. Granted our lives are centered around the fact that in the end there can be only one of us left."

Aubrey's can be very polite when he's not sure what he's dealing with. And, since he's stuck in the bar, that politeness shines through better.

Siete is older, but he's not technically a vampire. Though he's the one that created the vampire lines. Aubrey's brow raises slightly. "It's a stipulated fact that there is only one allowed left? That's some inheritance for you."
