From Eliezer's post:

And by golly, Brooks sounded intelligent and original. He gave off a visible aura of competence. (Though not a thousand-year vampire aura of terrifying swift perfection like E.T. Jaynes's carefully crafted book.)

The obvious explanation for the sparks is that Brooks and the other sparkly people must only be the lesser Twilight-type vampires.
