What's this about?

Welcome to court good sir, we are here to discuss matters of interest to the Kingdom of Rhetoric. We seek to engage in spirited discussions on a multitude of topics. Since this is the first gathering of this court we are announcing ourselves and our role in the court.

Why do you call yourselves vampires?

Because much like the vampires of lore are drawn to the scent of blood we are drawn to the scent of a good discussion.

We are also creatures of the night, staying up late to debate.

How late? All night long?

We have been known to stay up quite late but I don't think we have stayed up all night yet.

So is this another Debate Hall?

No, as I said this is the court of his highness King The Doctor of The Lands of Rhetoric, Lord Ruler of the Debate Vampires, and Duke of Quebec. If you have business before the court you may bring it up here.

I suppose I don't count as a debate vampire, do I?
