Inside a church, Father Jackal is feasting. He's been in this strange world for some days now, and being in the holy city has brought out some rather unholy appetites. It was rather silly, actually, all these priests and nuns hiding inside the church, as if expecting that to be some form of protection. They actually thought they could hold him back with a cross! When he has his own sitting right there on his chest. Silly humans.
Of course, he only needed a couple of them to fill up. The rest of them he used for some expierimentation. As far as he can tell, the humans of this world are no different then the humans of his own. All the same organs, all the same bones, all the same reactions to pain. Quite wonderful, actually. He's managed to recreate a few of his favorite works of art using the cattle, and they look wonderful. Probably still in pain, but what does he care?
He's just putting the finishing touches on on of them, carefully removing the skin from the muscle so as to get a better red, when he hears a commotion outside. Sounds like ti might be worth looking into.
In the streets, some vampires are brawling with some humans. He can tell they're vampires because they definitely look the part. Poor Nosferatu. Must all be from the same clutch, to all have the same deformity. And getting their butts hand to them by a tiny Asian girl. For shame.
Jackal rolls out of the church, his great girth providing him with momentum, his enormous voice booming out to startle all the combatants. "Now, what the sam hill are y'all playin' at here? Y'all are vampires, y'might as well act lahk it!" He keeps up his charge, not even slowing down as one of the humans attempts to jump in his path, crucifix held protectively in front of him.
Father Jackal doesn't even slow down. He rips the cross from the mortals hand, then returns it, shoving the hunk of wood into the humans chest before tossing him out of the way. Vampires and humans stand in shock at the sight of this horrible priest bearing down on them. Only the little Asian remains unaffected, throwing herself at Jackal with a relentless fury, driving a stake into his chest, where his heart should be.
Her arm sinks into his body to the elbow, and the flesh surrounding her clamps down, hard, preventing her from withdrawing. "Naow, darlin, I'd hafta be some kinda moron ta keep mah heart somewhere easily accessible, naow wouldn' I?" His right hand lashes out, wiping across the girls face, removing all definition where it passes. There is a crunching sound from his chest region, and the girl falls away, her arm cut off where it had entered the body.
It doesn't take long to mop up the rest of them, and Jackal enjoys himself, loving the ability to cut loose. This now, this is the life.
