There seem to be quite a few things different about me physically, ever since I discovered this network a few months back, and aside from being a little irritating, most of them haven't significantly affected me to the point of not being able to function. However, I think that there is something odd going on with my eating habits. I've been hungry in an odd way since I visited the Tuning Towers and it's been going on for weeks and nothing is really helping the issue. And I think I've figured out what that is, though how I figured out involves a very uncomfortable bus ride with people who have no concept of personal space, but very tantalizing, ah... Well... Jugular veins.

Anyway, that odd statement coming from me really should make what I'm about to ask obvious, but bear with me, because I am going to ask a mildly disturbing question.

Does anyone else besides me feel a particular urge to, oh I don't know, drink blood? And along the same vein- I mean- Along the same lines, is there any way to make it stop aside from the usual thing? I've read enough literature to understand the basic idea but is there anyway to opt out? Because I'd really rather not go down that path at the moment.

That's... technically true. But I don't want to do that.

so i guess you're kind of screwed then. sorry.

I was afraid someone would eventually be so kind as to put it that bluntly, but at least you didn't ask me to stab myself in the chest with a foot long piece of sharpened wood, so already this is an improvement.

lol, yeah i saw that.
sorry wish i could help, but when i asked if science people could look athow to make our genetics go back since our bodies physically change something in our dna when we get the numbers apparently, but i just got told to suck it up. so you know.

It's fine. I've gotten a few suggestions I'm going to try out, and if they don't work then I suppose I will just have to succumb to the inevitable and unfathomable bloodlust that plagues me and feast on the essence of the living until I am sated.

That was a joke, by the way. I'm not going to kill anyone.

yes i realized. i have this incredible "sense of humor" that lets me decipher such japes. it's really quite extraordinary.

Well, you can't blame me for taking precautions.

That aside, I can see why they would be against that. Publicity and all that...

yes joking about murdering a group can almist be as terrible as joking about killing one specific person.

though i dont see how publicity effects anything?

The difference is in the specification of a 'joke'. Ta-da.

And publicity matters in the case of investigating out genetic code because not many people have that technology in the world, and the chances of them being one of us is doubtful. I'd rather not be part of what could obviously turn out to be a future human rights debacle.

of course.

that is a good poiint not liike you can just use any kind of lab equipment without saying what you're doing. hadn't thought about it two deeply. ii thiink there's someone on the network that works in a forensics lab though... she miight be able to help you with the blood thing if nothing else.

Erk...

I'd rather not go to a forensics lab for that kind of thing. I imagine the blood they use there is quite important. I've gotten in contact with a hunter and someone who works in a morgue, and I suppose I'll be trying a few other things.

Have you tried asking her about checking our genetic anomalies though?

eh well I asked everyone. I don't really want two beat a dead horse about it...

Well, I suppose you have a point. Perhaps one day there will be something we can do about it, but it might be best to set it aside for now.

yeah. i hope you find a decent solution for your uh cravings i guess.

That's a good word for it, and thank you.
