the strangeness
If you're particularly clever on the technical side of things here's a project for you:

Take a little inspiration off Ghost Busters. They trap ghosts with vacuum cleaners. xd

Modify one of those old vacuum cleaners that are a little tiny box with a hose coming out of it and it has a strap so you can wear it like a bag.
Essentially all you do is make a tiny contraption over the top that blows out steam every time the vacuum turned on, attach that to the box, and then decorate the whole thing in a steampunk fashion.

Also, if you're super pro, or you have a lot of time on your hands you can tool around with the vacuum and figure out how to actually get it to run off of steam. biggrin

Adding to this, I was just thinking that some sort of Steampunk Ghostbusters would require a sort of mechanism to keep the ghosts in - I'm just currently imagining a great copper tank with a porthole-style window to look in at them.

Almost like some weird washing machine...? With a protruding valve on one side (and a little near the top) in which the ghosts are inserted.

I'm having way too much fun with that thought, now I wanna write or draw something up for it. whee


Very nice! I like the way you think. 3nodding

You're forgetting the PUNK part of steampunk, take a modern invention (such as the ghostbusters backpacks) and re-design it steampunk stylee!

Take a little nod from Trigun, says I. What do I mean? The Cross Punisher, of course. ICly, my character (a vampire hunter himself) has a weapon called the Cross Slayer. It has bladed side branches, a riot shotgun in the bottom branch, and a flamethrower in the top branch... You could design a giant, steampunky cross-shaped weapon, too. :O

A friend of mine in the Holy Order, ICly, had a similar weapon... Based on this Cross item on my avi's back as well. However, instead of housing a riot shotgun and a flamethrower, HIS cross was simply a carry-on ballista or, if you like, an extremely oversized crossbow.

I was actually tooling around on the internet (i.e. spending the day), when I came across an actual, honest to god, authentic, Victorian era vampire kit. They were manufactured in Eastern Europe, where vampire mythology is entrenched much deeper than the industrial West (*cough cough* Transylvania rep-re-ZENT!). I should have saved the image for posterity since I don't know how many people will believe me...

I'd actually like to see the picture more out of genuine curiosity than any lack of belief in your credibility.
