( 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

[axethrows]

Ehhh don't worry~ I'm sure the cure will pop up at any moment!

[hopefully!!!]

Once ya recover, there's the perfect excuse to go out and drink away~

[hitokiller]

i wouldn't say no
but also, i wasn't bullshittin' when i said it kinda fit
in the sense that...
i'm still thinkin' about how you called it a gift

( and egged him on to just accept it. which is going well, and isn't. )

[zauneyete]

Well it is, isn't it?
Immortality coupled with the changes. Would you rather call it something else? Like a curse? Too many see it that way, and they're wrong.

un: sanda

[thundercrashes]

you shouldn't have gotten bit, but frankly neither should have I nor anyone else because this is such bullshit that we got tossed out against vampires of all things on that last mission

[manjoume is not in fact really coping that well, he hates it so much]

[ignoreher]

Knitting just uses your arms, you know.
It's not like I'm getting up and running around...
And the distraction is nice, so I'd appreciate the company.

Anyway, I think March'd be into being your little treat as long as you made it up to her for all those marks you're gonna be leaving! It's pretty sexy seeing the remnants of a good time in the mirror -- positive she'd agree!

[ she should have died ]

[ignoreher]

It might be a good idea to? Especially depending on how many need to be fed...

We can take turns bleeding out or something.

[wheft]

Yeah, but it's going to be annoying the more this keeps up. The last thing I want is to become someone's Bloodbag once they run out of sustenance in the base.

Hopefully they'll find a cure just so Izou can stop fuckin bitching down there.

[wheft]

[ boy she wanted YOU to see this 🫵 ]

How about... if you make someone drink alcohol first, then suck some of their blood a little later when the alcohol's made it in their bloodstream? Would that work?

[lunarchivist]

I understand.

I will drop something off by evening. What is your dorm and room number?

If this worsens your condition, I will take full responsibility.

[He's. Taking this very seriously.]

[lunarchivist]

((I suppose that would make them a set. Of three. Gets banned for horrible pun))

I see.

[There's a pause. As if he's taking notes....] Do you think the Outsiders affected can further spread the vampirism affliction? Because if not, I can add a few more to the "not a vampire" list.

We do. Some are too nice to act on a very real need they may have.

And that's alright, everyone has their strengths.

[What does that even mean...]

[cranekin]

Eh, so you can't taste it or even enjoy it.
Maybe you just need to drink more.

(Don't.)

[queenofkur]

[ ???? ]

I
I wasn't going to try anything on you!!

[hitokiller]

( hmm. yeah. maybe she shoulda died. )

if you think i'm stupid enough to comment on any 'a that
well
you'd be WRONG

( ...... )

anyway
good luck with all the knittin' shit

[bowtography]

go tell him you're sorry and I'll forgive you

[immortalpoet]

life goes on regardless

the flow continues

so we have to keep going on with it

[fursuit]

yep, pretty sure they can. couldn't tell you how it works though. there's a fuckton of different stories about the mechanics, so who knows which one is at play here?

but whatever. it's not making people into true ancestors so it's not so bad

just kind of inconvenient, I guess. here's hoping LILITH figures out how to undo it

[fursuit]

oh, trust me, it's unique. I'm just saving you all the technicalities since no offense but don't think you give a shit about them

but yeah. squeamish part ain't a problem. though I don't like drinking blood exactly. eating meat and having blood just be a part of it is different

[fursuit]

hahaha

hey as a partial owner of a bar I feel his pain here

but it's mostly funny

[fursuit]

well you gotta count me out there just saying

not exactly volunteering for that part. my blood's sacred you know? can't just give that up

[hitokiller]

yeah
tell me yer sorry

( haha. )

[hitokiller]

( the "flow" continues... the hell does that mean. )

which is t'say you'll be there, yeah
since you're on call

( according to some documents izou glanced over. amazing. he did homework. )

[immortalpoet]

[wow you don't know the flow? loser]

that i am. i believe you were, too. unless you've chickened out?

[hitokiller]

( STOP!! )

the hell d'ya think you're talkin' to
i'm a GENIUS
'course i'm gonna be there

[immortalpoet]

what does being a genius have to do with doing your job

[hitokiller]

( ? )

it means i'm the best at it
it... being whatever it is we're doin' exactly
duh
