The long commute back - a choice?

OK Greg got me thinking.

Your cycling from the Morpeth. Your route takes you along a poorly lit road and your surrounded by fields. You're in hi-viz, helemt and you've got lights. You stop at a red light. It goes green and you continue your journey.

Then a car zooms past and knocks you into the field. You go tumbling falling away from your bike you land on the ground. Four people who are mysteriously in the woods identify your bike because you have lights on and easily find you because of the hi-viz. You've also survived the fall, well your brain is intact, due to your wearing a helmet. The four people find you.

A Zombie, a werewolf, a Dr and a Vampire.

The Vamp is the alpha of the group because Vamps are cool. Your bike is ruined, helmet smashed, your limbs hurt and your hi-viz torn. It looks touch and go.

The Vamp offers some assistance.

Become a Vamp, a Werewolf, Zombie or have the Dr fix your body with the parts of other humans and strong electrical current turning you into essentially Frankenstien's monster.

What do you choose?

    Loving this line: "The Vamp offers some assistance."

    I would only accept assisstance from Buffy....

    Can't you get some hybrid Vamp/Werewolf action?

    It worked well in Underworld, although I'm not sure blue is my best colour...

    Werewolf over vampire, surely?

    Being confined to nightriding for all eternity would suck a bit.

    Aren't werewolfs only out with the full moon though - that's a lot worse. You'd get used to the dark anyway. And a castle comes with being a vampire. No contest really. Unless you like McDonalds in which case being a zombie won't make much of a lifestyle difference......

    Werewolves are only wolves at the full moon, otherwise they are human.

    They are only vulnerable to silver, as opposed to garlic, sunlight, beheading and stakes.

    The helmet debate would be ended as a werewolf or vampire.

    Zombiez would smell.

    Obviously I'd be crap at being any of these things. Werewolf is probably preferable then.

    However, if about 75% of us have become Vampires, its pretty likely that the Werewolves are going to get bitten at somepoint. So presumably they'd become Werevampires. Then they'd be Vampires at night time except during the full moon when they'd become flying bat wolves which might be cool.

    They have no blood either, do they? You would therefore be unable to get it up and even if you could, imagine sliding into cold...

    Zombie, but only if I can mutate into a Hunter and chew Zoe's face off.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    Vampire undoubtedly - vampires have great dress sense and brides - I don't mean the stupid American teen version of vampires either - more in the tradition of Vlad the Impaler

    become a wearwolf, my understanding is that your pretty normal until full moon, so at least you can be your self for a while plus, lets face it a lycan is waaaay cooler than a blood sucking leech or frankenstein
