Damn You, Science
I suppose I should start at the beginning before getting ahead of myself, jumping in with my relationship with Alphonse was rude, and I apologize. I called him a vampire, which I suppose is more slang than reality. I mean, he certainly doesn’t attack beautiful women and suck their blood, that would put him at risk for AIDS or something. It’s a science thing, though it’s pretty unbelievable.
When the entire North American continent unified in 2030, they began a series of experiments to try to make human beings stronger. See, in the early years of global warming, people thought we could reverse it- or slow it, I don’t know what was going on back then- by recycling, or using vinegar instead of Windex or something. It didn’t work out, and the government knew that we were bound to end up dying, so they started their own work.
Now, fighting nature’s pretty hard to do, right? They tried tons of things, and ended up with horribly messed up people. There are vampires, sprites, and merms now, along with the people.
