Not a zombie dream

[jethrien]

Thank goodness, or trinityvixen really would try to take my head off with an axe.

I had a dream last night that vampires were attacking my parents' house. (It's the second vampire dream in three days; although the one before this one, I was the vampire.) We had a priest holed up with us. Most of the dream consisted of hunting through my parents' stuff (which was really, really messy for some reason) for crosses and rosaries and bibles, which would apparently hold off the vampires. I found a bunch of cross necklaces (most of which I or family members actually own), all tangled up. I was untangling them, and putting one in each room. We had boarded up the windows and everyone had a crucifix, but these were just in case something happened to yours. I was also trying to find the bibles - I knew that the ones my brother and I had gotten for our first communions were somewhere, but my mom had moved them and I just kept finding boxes of jigsaw puzzles.

You had a priest with you? Dude, I have three words for you: Holy Water Balloons.

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next time I have to defend the house from vampires, I'll remember not to spend so long untangling rosaries and just fill balloons.

Actually, my balloon-throwing aim is terrible - I suspect this would not actually go well.

Yeah, as awesome as Holy Water Balloons are, I'd be lucky to splash a few vampires' legs. Would that kill them? Or just cripple them a bit? Can a priest bless all the water coming out of a hose at once? :)

I'm thinking Super Soakers.

What about a Holy Humidifier? Does 60% Holy Humidity repel vampires?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! Good thing vampires are immune to holy water in World of Darkness, because I suspect there'd be a lot of Mages with humidifiers, otherwise...

Are there asthmatic vampires? A Holy Inhaler would just be cruel :)

I'm thinking you're right on that score. And, when water guns are nowhere to be found, squirt-top water bottles. Get the priest to bless a bathtub full of water then just keep dousing.

Whew. No zombies this time. Vampires, whatever, they just want your blood, and they're like super-vulnerable. Beware, though--if your subconscious thinks you're getting wise to it with the vampires, it could be sending the zombies any day now.

Remind me to never, ever play Call of Cthulhu with you. You're far too trigger happy.

::gulps:: I don't want to know, do I?

For serious, I am waaaaaay too scared of zombies, I grant you. It's not even sane. I'm more scared of zombies eating me to death than I am of actually real things (realer than zombies anyway) eating me to death (I am the happy girl in the shark cage, for example). I think I have deep psychological issues.

And, of course, my friends knew it and exacerbated the problem with their zombie impressions which provoked me to the point of no longer being able to control my instinctive "ZOMBIE = DECAPITATE!!!!" reaction. Blame BSD, I do.

Typically, vampires splashed with holy water either burn or dissolve (as if splashed with acid). I suspect soaking their legs would only slow them down.

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

Depends on A) how mindless they were and B) how angry they were. Because I feel like if something dissolved my legs, that would stop me cold.

Or maybe he could just bless the hose :) Blessed Firehose. Hook that up to a Decanter of Endless Water, and you can just watch the undead melt out of the way.
