( it comes as video at first. the image of someone kicking a chair over in the cafeteria, the sound of "THE HELL?!!!" being screeched at a pitch even dogs can hear. there's a bottle and a half-filled glass on a flat table nearby.

maybe he didn't mean to send that. maybe he did. either way, there's a text immediately after. )

whaddya mean we can't
TASTE A DRINK NEITHER???
how long is this gonna last?
th... a week? a whole 'nother month?
where's that damn cure, huh?
how long's that gonna take?

( let the panic begin. )

... how're the rest of ya coping
with not bein' able to eat real food, or drink, or

( a pause. )

and don't say anything stupid
like i shoulda just not gotten bit

Comments

[hitokiller]

wh
i've been plenty gentle

( wHY DOES THIS FEEL LIKE YOUR PARENT ASKING IF YOU PICKED UP SOMEONE ON TIME? )

but i didn't wanna make a habit out of it
and now this body... is basically makin' me do it

[hitokiller]

... there's an idea
guess i could just,
ask someone to drink for me

@rodya

[axethrows]

Sounds rough, buddy.
Now I am even more glad that I avoided getting bit because not tasting food and drink sounds like torture.

[hitokiller]

oh, yeah?
i happen to think it's pretty damn important

[immortalpoet]

what's so pleasurable about life anyways

[kaizou]

DID YOU TURN INTO A VAMPIRE

🤣

WHAT IF YOU JUST MIX BLOOD INTO IT

THAT'S LIKE MIXING VAMPIRE MACHINE FLUID WITH HUMAN MACHINE FLUID

SO YOU GET BOTH AT ONCE

[hitokiller]

wh
is that a real question

[hitokiller]

mixing it in dishes seems to be what most are giving me
sounds a hell of a lot more doable than feedin' off someone wasted

[hitokiller]

what
you tried it yet?

[immortalpoet]

one i don't need you to answer that's for sure

[hitokiller]

what crawled up you and died, huh
if you didn't wanna talk to me, you didn't have to reply

[queenofkur]

More important than sunlight potentially killing you?

[immortalpoet]

i'll talk to whoever i want you know


besides you were probably ready to give me a whole spiel and i decided i was too tired for that

[lunarchivist]

Fair enough.

I wonder if animal blood works...does that sound at all appealing to you?

[Just Hunt pathstrider things...]

[eyescar]

i already let dandelion bite me, so whatever
i can make as much blood as i need

[hitokiller]

better neither, in fact
now that i'm alive again...
i wanna keep it that way

[redsoil]

What the hell do you mean "didn't want to make a habit of it".

This is your body's nutritional need. There is no HABIT to form.

[ he absolutely is scolding you like a parent would. ]

If you do not want to always bite up your friends, there is me. I used to feed vampires all the time.

[hitokiller]

you...

( no fear on the other end whatsoever. there's something else that transfers through text, but izou can't quite place it. )

you're real willin' to throw your neck on the line, huh
and cook

[eyescar]

it's just cooking, krizo-san

[saudadist]

no, I'm not a vampire

but alcohol goes straight to your bloodstream after you drink it
so the blood of someone who's completely wasted will actually have taste and get you plastered

[hitokiller]

that's hitokiri izou
and like i said, the cooking's a big deal to me
i wouldn't do that for just anyone

[eyescar]

oh sorry hitokiri-san

well. guess it's not that special to me, not when we're all working as a team

@kuzunoha14

I hope for the sake of you all that it's not that long. But LILITH did say it would take some time.

[For the sake of you vampires and donors like himself... How much can a person give up before it's dangerous? Raidou's going to find out the hard way, knowing him. RIP.]

I wonder if it's possible to cook something with blood as an ingredient that you all could consume? I'm willing to try it, even if it doesn't exactly sound pleasant. I am more than happy to try.

[hitokiller]

WAIT wait
hitokiri is just a title
y'know, like. man-slayer?
you heard of okada izou?
THE famous killer? the ghost of tosa?

( your history lessons... )

[eyescar]

i guess the name sounds kind of familiar...

what do you want me to call you then???
