LifeSunDeath posted:Lol this curve could only work with mirrors, unless it's got a display in it. not really sure how digital recording affects vampires though. The lack of reflection is because once upon a time, mirrors were made of silver. Modern mirrors (incl. telescope mirrors) are coated with aluminum and would reflect a vampire just fine.

FURTHERMORE the suits and helmets would be visible even with mirrors. Unless ::snort:: you're implying the suits are made from some fantastical vampire fabric?

There are two important differences between vampires and capitalists: 1) Vampires are sexy and cool 2) Vampires have weaknesses that make them stoppable

 I think you'll find that capitalists have a distinct weakness to a violent uprising, and we've got better arms than crosses and wooden stakes.

I'm outraged because the first telescope without mirrors (a refractor; 1608) predates the first telescope with mirrors (a reflector; 1668)!

I've seen quite a few native stories were a monster is revealed because they did not reflect (or reflected differently) in the stream that both they and the protagonist were crossing over. The "silver reveals" thing is a modern retroexplanation.
