"A vampire is a former human with no heartbeat who drinks blood," says Sherlock. "In my world they look like this."
He shifts to vampire face: nose and brow ridged in an artificial snarl, teeth long and sharp and dangerous, eyes a wolfish yellow.
"Except, of course," he reverts to his human face again, "when they don't. I live in a crypt because I catch fire when exposed to sunlight, so participating in normal human society is generally hazardous to my health, and the town of Sunnydale is oversupplied with graveyards so there are plenty of crypts to go around."
