Second Bite [Voice]

[scarlet_devil]

[There's the slightly tired sounding voice of Emilia showing up on the network today. It seems someone's been having some difficulties with her new pules.]

I'm not in the least bit happy about it, but my little guess about my past self possibly being a vampire was right.

Normal food doesn't seem to do anything now, I can eat myself out of house and home but still be hungry, clearly I need something else. And since I have fangs now, I can only assume that it's blood that I need.

The only problem is getting it, and I'm not going to go around biting people for it. Basically, I have to go around raiding blood banks now, that's hardly a way for a Stacojiu to act! Surely there's a better way of getting hold of blood that doesn't involve biting or stealing?

{She gets a sympathetic look from her.]

Maybe you can ask for donations from the numbered among us? I'm sure one of us has to actually know about drawing blood and all that.

[scarlet_devil]

[A sigh at that. She'd prefer not to essentially live on handouts, but you know what? To hell with pride.]

I'll consider it. I can't imagine many would want to have their blood drunk, besides.

[sylvanguard]

Well the only other option does seem to be blood banks. [She shrugs a little being rather stumped as to what sort of advice she might still be able to offer.]

Look, I'm willing to give you some of my blood as an experiment if you like... I'd just not prefer to be uhm bitten.

[scarlet_devil]

Frankly biting seems... unsanitary. But I'm willing to try this little experiment.

[Well, she seems a little relived, at least.]

[sylvanguard]

Now we just need to find someone able to draw blood. I'd prefer that to something like slitting a vein open.

[And if any of her friends caught wind of this they might freak out at her for cutting.]

[scarlet_devil]

Well, no need to do yourself an injury. I wouldn't know who to ask for drawing blood, though.

[sylvanguard]

I knew a doctor, but he sadly left Locke to be with his family elsewhere. Perhaps some polite inquiries on the network will turn up at least one person who knows how to draw blood... you know without cutting.

[scarlet_devil]

Well then, I'll see who I can find.

[Because there has to be at least one person that can help her out. Or give her a way to get bloodpacks without needing to steal them.]

[sylvanguard]

I'll give you my number if you want. That way you can reach me off network when you do find someone. [She isn't going to say if, because she is positive there will be someone who can help in some fashion.]

[scarlet_devil]

Hmm, why not? I may as well share mine. [And she does so.]

My name's Emilia.

[sylvanguard]

I'm Ariel. [Likewise.] This way you and I can talk without the network if you need to.

[scarlet_devil]

[There's a pause as she notes down the number somewhere.]

A pleasure. I'll be in touch when I find someone willing to help with this.
