Hello.

[On screen is a pleasant looking young woman with short blonde hair and red eyes that might be dimly glowing, or is that a trick of the light? Something about the way she's speaking - in a clear English accent - has the air of someone who's practiced this speech beforehand.]

My name is Seras Victoria, it's my first time addressing the network here so nice to meet you all.

I'd like to talk about another particular issue of resources on the moon, though this resource is er... a little different from the others.

Some of you may be aware that werewolves aren't the only supernatural creatures living among you. Some of us are vampires.

[She won't name any names, respecting the privacy of those who would rather not publically announce what they are.]

I'm asking if anyone here would be willing to volunteer to donate blood specifically for the vampire population. There would be no biting involved Jan and it would never more than once a week, depending on how many people volunteer.

[Seras smiles hopefully.]

I know it's possible that we could make a supply run to a hospital or blood bank somewhere using the transport system but I'd rather not take it from where it might damage lives. We could do with getting the medical equipment to collect and store the blood however. Bags and a fridge for example. If anyone with medical knowledge could help that would be appreciated.

To any other vampires out there, I know a couple of you but if you'd like to contact me, privately if you wish, to have access to whatever we manage to organise, please do.

[Added on later to the post]

Erm, when I said once a week, it would really be a month. My mistake.

Hi, Miss Victoria.

My name's Donny, I help out at the clinic. We can set you up with equipment and a sterile environment at the clinic to make it safer, if that'd help.

( actually slightly uncertain, but Scott is a Good Dude, has been a friend and is also a werewolf, so maybe this can be cool. And things here are so complicated, anyway. The suspicious vigilante side of him is just sort of... a suspicious vigilante. )

[bloodthirsts]

That would be lovely, Donny, thank you.

I'd be willing to help you out in any way I can in exchange.

[A vampire blood drive? Holy shit, that's crazy. But probably better than them just murdering people left and right. There is one problem, though.]

People can't donate blood once a week. It's more like once every other month.

Voice (when muns don't check their facts XD; )

[bloodthirsts]

Did I say week? Oops.

Bloody hell, I practiced this...

Oh dear, I'll try and edit it. Don't want people thinking I'm planning to drain the drive.

[Knock-knock, Seras. There's a butler at your door.]

[bloodthirsts]

[Seras has been staring in a mixture of impatience and small nervousness at her tablet. Waiting for responses, anticipating the variety of responses she could receive. So far it had seemed to be positive.

She rises at the knock and steps over to answer it, when she sees Walter she's not entirely surprised.]

Hello, Walter. Come in.

[vimdicare]

Hmmm. I can do mission runs to get blood for you if that helps. I'm very curious. I've never met a vampire. Do you have a blood preference? Does that sort of thing matter?

video;

[bloodthirsts]

It might be necessary if we can't get enough volunteers here, thank you. I would go with you in that case.

[Curiousity is a good start.]

Um, different blood types definately have different tastes to me. Personally I'm a fan of O positive.

[Though not as much as the ever popular virgin blood brand but that just sounds wrong to say to people.]

[ported]

I'll um...'donate'. If I could get something in return.

[bloodthirsts]

[This is one kind of response Seras expected.]

What would you like in exchange?

[liprings]

Holy shit. I have never heard anyone make vampires sound so goddamn BORING! What the fuck is wrong with you Hellsing bitches?!

[bloodthirsts]

You should really take a look at yourself before you ask anyone that question.

[fullmeasure]

[Mike is just. Raising an eyebrow. Vampires and werewolves on the moon. Great]

That's not something you hear every day.

video

[bloodthirsts]

No, I expect not.

I mean when I found out they actually existed -- back before I was one -- well, blimey, shock is putting it lightly.

once every 12 weeks is the recommended donation schedule, but it'll depend how much you're taking each time.

but you might wanna talk to Jan Valentine, was it? about an attitude adjustment. i'd be happy to donate to you and anyone else who needs it, but he can starve for all i care.

[bloodthirsts]

I see, thank you for that information. I'm not used to having to acquire my own blood supply, you see.

[Oh boy. You can almost here the sharp turn of her words in the next part of the text.]

What did he do? I'll be happy to have punches words with him.

[anotheryosuke]

..oh that explainst he bookcase then

[... Yes, he still thinks it's a bookcase. Give him a moment.]

2/2

[anotheryosuke]

[He really needs a moment to figure out if he should be freaking out or not; or rather, whether the freaking out he's doing is an overreaction. He's still convinced he wasn't overreacting about the werewolves, because, well.

Then again, he was hanging out with her alone at night in a deserted stairwell and she didn't nom on him. It makes a lot of difference when you don't remember the subject breathing down your neck and snarling at you! And at least they're not on a lunar cycle.

Hmm.

Good thing he's on text. This message takes a while to arrive.]

thats the weirdest blood drive i ever heard fo but i guess not the weirdest thing here??

[Also, just as an aside, vampire blood drives is actually kind of hilarious if you think about it too hard.]

i guess every supernatural thing i heard was here is here and all....
anyways i unno but do you guys drink nonhuman blood?
that could help a bit lookin for supplies and stuff

[Video]

[trustycrowbar]

Vampires?

[You see that look on the icon? That's the exact look he's giving her.]

...Hm, considering all the other kinds of beings up here, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. If I could get a little more information about that, how many you've seen around, any different kinds, things like that, I'd gladly contribute.

[It's worth losing a little blood, if science is involved.]

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

Yes sir, vampires. We're real.

[She waves a little awkwardly and looks thoughtful at his request.]

I could provide you with some facts. Would you like just general information or do you have specific questions?

[Video]

[small_berserker]

Hi Seras! I could probably donate once a week with no problem with the way my body works.

[Especially since Seras was so nice to her.]

...I don't know how mine would taste but you can have some if it'll help you.

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

Hello Lily! It's nice to see you again.

[Seras smiles at her but she also looks concerned, even with Lily's professed healing ability she is young but she won't outright say no.]

Are you sure you'd be alright to do something like this?

[video]

[ladyofrivendell]

What are vampires, exactly?

[Because she's not going to volunteer blood without knowing everything necessary.]

[video]

[bloodthirsts]

Well Miss, we're a sort of supernatural creature that feeds on the blood of humans. We come into being by being turned by another, which involves dying. We're um, 'undead'. We're physically much stronger and faster than a human, and some have other powers.

I won't say most vampires are good because they're frankly not. It's rare there are those like me who can control their bloodlust.

[She views honesty as important here.]

When we can't get blood it becomes harder to control ourselves which is why I'm appealing to the community. If we could get a steady blood supply there's less risk of any incidents.

[falla]

Vampire?

Interesting.

[bloodthirsts]

I am. Though not the murdering kind, rather unusual in that aspect I know.

[Oh hello Charlie from the Hunter family, she hopes this will go down well.]

video; Late forever but I really wanted to tag this.

[scarletrequip]

[Have a rather serious-looking redhead looking at you. Her last encounter with a vampire had left a bad impression and even though Seras doesn't seem to be anything like Lestat, Erza remains wary.]

That's quite a bold request for an introduction.

video; No prob! :)

[bloodthirsts]

I understand that it is, but unfortunately it's one I can't put off making.
