[artificing]

[Cy's in pretty bad shape, even if it can't be seen it can definitely be heard.  His voice is ragged, a growl to it as if he's trying to keep himself together.]

I know all of you...  You're pr--  You're blood is pretty precious to you but...  [He pauses, sucking in a pained breath so he can go on.]

I need to feed.  If I don't...  Well, it'll be bad.  [He gives a bitter little laugh.  Bad is an understatement here.]

Needs to be human.  Can't...nothing else works. 

[As if an afterthought.]  Please.

You realize they've got a blood bank over in the clinic these days, right?

[artificing]

You realize they only allow one bag per week, right?

[alittlesweptup]

If the options are 'I need more blood from the blood bank' or 'I'm going to go ballistic and shred someone's carotid artery', I'm sure they'd be willing to make arrangements.

Though how you were managing down on the island if a pint a week doesn't do you is beyond me. You weren't feeding on natives, were you?

[ a moment, before, hesitantly; ]

Did you get settled, or do you still need something?

voice; private

[artificing]

No.

[A pause.] To the first.

[Normally, this would be a freaky thing to see. But a girl said naked earlier on the network and honestly, everything is just fine. Totally awesome. Someone will deal with the crazy vampire, he's not worried.

But maybe making a mental note to stay away from you just in case, dude. No offense, but he likes his blood where it is.]

[But it won't hurt after the initial pinch! And he won't take much! C'mon, help a guy out.</small?]

[He's starting to feel like he's getting the hang of this place, oh, sure, it's stranger than a two-dollar whore on Thursday but he's beginning to think it's got its own logic. This though? Not so much]

Feed? What the hell are you on about? You've got a lot of goddamn nerve either way.

[artificing]

[By now Cy's sated so he just rolls his eyes, not that it can be seen since, y'know, voice and all that.]

I'm a vampire, dipshit. I need blood if I'm going to keep functioning like a normal person and not rip out every throat I see.

[bumbles]

Come by the clinic. We have blood available, as much as you need.

[artificing]

So things have changed then? [Good to know he won't have to worry too much about feeding now.]

[nosebleeds]

[blood you say]

Shit, what's up with you?

[artificing]

Hard of hearing? I said I was hungry. Was being the operative word here as it's been taken care of.

voice.

[bloodthirsts]

The clinic staff have come up with way to produce more viable blood for us. If you speak with them you can be provided what you need to keep yourself in control.

[artificing]

Good to know. As good as it is fresh I...prefer to not feed that way.

[redheadcarrier]

or we could not keep freaks who feed on us around.

just a thought.

[artificing]

Fuck off if you're not going to be helpful.

[angel_of_death]

Your living arrangements. What are they.

[Walter may sound incredibly demanding and even a bit rude, but there's a specific line of thinking behind what he says. Furthermore, it follows a concern the others who responded-- including his own compatriot-- have apparently yet to properly address.]

[artificing]

Been crashing where ever. [He has a room but he feels weird sharing with strangers.]

Why?

[Voice]

[small_berserker]

I've been donating blood, but I don't know if it would work for you.

[artificing]

It's fine. It seems to be all sorted out now.

Thanks anyway.

[irritating]

Aw well look at that, we're really gettin' ourselves a little vampires on the moon community started, huh? [ Totally missing the point here but hey whatever. ]

[artificing]

I...guess?

[snowghoul]

[She recognizes that voice pretty quickly.]

Hoping you are finding normie blood to be feeding on.

[artificing]

[Well, that's a voice and accent he can't soon forget. He certainly sounds more cheerful now than he did when he posted.]

Yes, it's all been taken care of. Thank you for your concern.

How are you holding up?
