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.

[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.

regular blood donor here to embarrass you! It's no less than 56 days in between, so about 2 months.

[lazyinlove]

Nervous?

[That makes sense. People generally don't respond we'll to "I'm a vampire, can I borrow a pint of blood?"]

I must remember google is my friend ^^ haha

[bloodthirsts]

I'm not used to public speaking.

And also telling people this sort of thing. You can get some rather negative reactions.

Yep. But I don't think it's common knowledge to anyone who isn't medical/a donor

[lazyinlove]

Asking for blood? Yeah.

[The dark irony is intentional, but his tone implies it's not personal. It's not you he's pissed at, Seras.]

Can't help. Mine's uh...spicy. You know?

[bloodthirsts]

Spicy? Like... it would taste bad?

[She's not following you.]

It's alright, I've had a few volunteers.

[lazyinlove]

It tastes gross to me. I dunno about you. But...there's side effects.

[bloodthirsts]

[Blink blink.]

Well I think it's quite normal for humans to find the taste of blood unappealing.

But I'll take your word for it, it's probably best not to risk it.

[lazyinlove]

Not on a work night anyway.

[bloodthirsts]

Thank you for responding and clearing things up for me anyway, every little helps.

[lazyinlove]

What?

[It just so happens his blood is pretty "spiced" up right this moment. Don't mind him.]

Yeah, sure.
