Description
Just another little idea that jumped out at me... a vampire bat - as a solicitor!
Probably inspired by a solicitor character portrayed by Donald Pleasance, but nonetheless this fellow was my idea.

So if I were to move to the UK and put up one of those "No Solicitor' signs, would it mean lawyers and attorneys couldn't knock on my door?

That would pretty much cover it...

What do you call people like salesmen and people wanting you to convert to their religion?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Salesmen are salesman (or women) and people who go around preaching religion are missionaries.

They're called those here too, but to simplify things, you can put up a sign that says "No solicitors" and supposedly that means they aren't allowed to knock on your door.

It reminds me of that bat off of...
Uh, I think it was the Great Mouse Detective?
Haha

Fidget? Perhaps there was a slight influence. Definitely, I wanted to avoid "cute" at any cost... this bat is more sinister than cute - after all, he's a laywer!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha.
Yup. That's the same bat. It always creeped me out when I was little. I never thought of him as cute.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... and I hope the Donald Pleasance influence works with this guy, too. Like, having him stand perfectly still and emotionless when he talks, only staring with calculating eyes...

Ho ho, this makes the moscituo in bee movie look normal.

Vlad: How am I to take that remark...?

As a compliment, I surpose? a vailed insult? A sad attempt at hummor? You diside.

Vlad: Well, I'm hardly insane... I'm a very placid, focussed, slightly-sinister sort of lawyer...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... I surpose... But still, a bat as a lawyer? Surly that's a strange posision to be in?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... lawyers and bats... both parasites, aren't they?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm? A bat, a parasite? I didn't know that...

Ah... Still, a vampire bat as a solisiter? I'm sure that it must have caused some problems with the family. Take a seat, if you want to talk.

Be seated - opposite a bat...?

Fine, let him take a perch. either way.

*Vlad grabs a perch and promptly hangs upside-down*

So, Vlad... You can speak like that, right? I hope so...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Vlad: I'm a bat, I'm used to hangig upside-down!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know THAT... But you've answered my question anyway.

O.O Awesome!

Thanks very much!
Yeah, I thought the job of solicitor would suit a vampire bat!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're very welcome ^^ Well, there's definately something fitting about it

Ooh, I like this guy! Will he be showing up again anytime in the near future?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I certainly hope so... and he will be one of the more important supporting characters if/when I get to that story.

Impresssive !
Is it me, or does the Bat solicitor comes from Eastern Europe ? I'm asking because of his name. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
Well, he certainly comes from some area of Russia or Transylvania...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Welcome.
The Russian-Romanian borderland ( probably his home ) is called "Besarabia" .

OK... well, there's yet another place I'd never heard of...

At least one place like that ! xD
