When I think about how many that could add up to . . . Wow. I've killed a lot of vampires. That's both satisfying and creepy at the same time.Dianne Duvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790493814330590450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-17830135669824988302013-10-21T04:04:28.033-06:002013-10-21T04:04:28.033-06:00Étienne: Katanas, though I always keep daggers an...Étienne: Katanas, though I always keep daggers and throwing knives on me, as well.<br /><br />Krysta: Shoto swords. The longer blade of the katana can be awkward for me, particularly if Iure vampires into a narrow alley to slay. And it's hard for someone my size to hide a katana under a coat.Dianne Duvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790493814330590450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-35321214620994284172013-10-21T04:00:09.918-06:002013-10-21T04:00:09.918-06:00Thanks, Lauren!Thanks, Lauren!Dianne Duvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790493814330590450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-89929318616185675122013-10-21T03:59:49.621-06:002013-10-21T03:59:49.621-06:00Étienne: Any color but black.
