the questions of our times: formality and vampires

[rm]

This, thanks to a discussion started by weirdquark. Please do visit the comments where you will learn many things including the many ways formality is structured in different languages (something my questions did not fully take into account, and I apologize for that), werewolf pack dynamics considerations, and whether there are vampires in France.

Sadly, I'm way less familiar with Japanese folklore and fairy tales than I am with Western European or Russian/Ukranian, or American of North and South... but it wouldn't surprise me. That seems to be the general consensus for at least all the fairy tales I know.

That's what I thought I remembered, but it's been a while since I've had occasion to speak for any length of time in French or Spanish in a fluent or native setting. And my Spanish is kind of bastardized from about three different dialects just that I know of due to how I learned it.
