You would too, faced with them.

Who are...?

The statues.

Man-size in marble - the City was never one to honor copyrights.

Energy vampires.

You can't get blood from a stone - amusing.

Well, it's a way of calling them.

Please forgive my sense of humor, it's a bit warped at the moment.

Psychic vampires disguised as common sculpture - clever hunting tactic. Angel statues are quite popular, one can see them almost anywhere and not question their presence.

Except starting from now.

Genuine statues would be regenerated overtime.

Then I won't feel bad for venting off on them.

To (cleanly) quote my brother: Vandalism is therapeutic.
