We've seen dozens upon dozens of vampire killing kits, but what if you need to
save one of them?
Discworld vampires can survive in sunlight, provided they wear heavy
clothes and broad-rimmed hats. If one is ever exposed to direct
sunlight, he or she will be immediately reduced to ashes, but requires
merely a drop of blood to recorporate. Many vampires carry a dustpan and
brush, along with a helpful explanatory card, to aid bystanders in that
task.
Blad at the Replica Prop Forum brings us a nicely done recreation of said tools. I'd love to see someone build on this concept and create a full blown "Vampire Healing Kit" for use by Renfields.
The kit was really laugh-out-loud funny. It only needs the traditional tune that accompanies the actions of reincorporation of a vampire on Discworld. This sacred hymn is sung to tune of, What do you do with a drunken sailor, for a proper magical incantation in the mood of a Terry Pratchett novel. Of course it just might be mistaken for filk song at a convention. By the way, I really liked the Ankh-Morpork City Watch badge and especially the hat flash he crafted as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with a decorped vampire? (refrain sang thrice)
With some dread foreboding.
Sweep him in a dustpan so we can save him. (thrice)
Oh, dear and I hope he ‘rises! (thrice)

Give him three drops of blood now from a vial, quick! (thrice)

Pick up his clothes and shoes so he can dress now (thrice)
Ho! Ho! And there he ‘rises! (thrice)

There’s no need for mourning
Hector him loudly about that that dread sunlight (thrice)

I believe that would be "Igorth" rather than "Renfieldth", thur.
