[Sometime after the Escort Missions are completed, Alucard speaks up on the network, sounding weary.]

I loathe to ask this of any of you, though I respect any who wish to decline my request. If you accept, know that I am incredibly grateful for it.

I require a bit of blood, if you have it. I know not all of you do. I will not accept it from someone who is ill.

Should you wish an explanation, or have further questions, I will answer them. I am open to discussing on methods of bloodletting if you would consider to donate it to me.

Did something happen to you?

[Veronica is not offering, but she figures that goes without saying at this point.]

[reposing]

I haven't had it for sometime. I can usually stave off the urge, but injuries can be harder to heal if I've not had blood.

[ From the way he speaks, it seems... important. So, jumping immediately to private channels — ]

How much do you require?

private;

[reposing]

About a pint.

...Lucina, you were recently injured. I don't know if it would be wise.

[He chuckles upon hearing Zarya's upbeat voice.]

Thank you, Zarya.

I'll make myself arranged more appropriately, and then we can meet. You have not suffered any injuries as of late?

[spiritgun]

What do you need blood for?

[ yusuke's singular attempt not to leap directly to a singular conclusion. ]

[reposing]

My father is a vampire, leaving me a half-blood. Though I can eat human food, I gain no sustenance from it.

As a result, I must drink blood.

audio■ un: virtuoso

[fourscores]

Certainly, if you need it.

Don't tell me you've been starving yourself this entire mission.

[reposing]

Not exactly.

[He's had like animal blood ok]

Though perhaps I did not plan as well as I should have. My injuries don't heal as well if I've not eaten for a time.

But know that I'm incredibly grateful, Jhin.

[moneyman]

Sure, why not? I've donated blood before. Are you a doctor? Do you need it for science stuff?

[ silly question—obviously it's for science. what else could he possibly need it for?? ]

[reposing]

I need it to drink.

Soooo, nice post. I do have a few comments and critiques.

Maybe don't just say you'll offer an explanation, just... give one. Like, don't just ask for blood and end it at that. Literally nothing sounds more nefarious than that, except maybe asking for newborn kitten blood.

Second of all, the fact that you apparently have extensive knowledge of the methods of bloodletting probably isn't something to broadcast to the entire team. Just, like, as a tip for the future. That's vaguely murder-y.

[reposing]

There are some on the team who know why I ask for this. Some care for the details, some do not. I don't seek to waste anyone's time.

You are the first, notably, to display discomfort. Regrettable. Do you not have doctors on this team?

private audio; un: white_lotus

[pummelling]

Do you still need blood?

I'm assuming this is a dietary issue. So to speak.

private;

[reposing]

Yes, it is.

Feel no requirement to offer, but I would welcome it, Jin.

[eyedrop]

[ Looking over the other responses ... ]

Well. That makes sense.

[ Not that vampires are exactly a thing where he's from, but people do have blood-based abilities. And he's seen outright magic since arriving here, so. Sure. Vampires. ]

[reposing]

I suppose so. A fair amount of the people on this team have never heard of vampires, to my surprise.

The offer of my equipment or expertise stands yet, should you require it.

[She won’t be silly and offer blood- she’s tiny and far healthier individuals seem to have that covered.]

[reposing]

And I think you for it, as always.

If I've need, I know who to turn to.

video; un: ginko

[tenthousandmiles]

I'm still open to it, should you have any further need.

[reposing]

I would not be opposed to stocking up if I can locate a way to store the blood without it spoiling. Perhaps a shop has an ice box, as suggested.

Thank you, Ginko.

[theseuschip]

Wow.

Okay, I believe you. That’s a lot of people.

[ WHY..... i mean good deal but why ]

[reposing]

To my surprise, yes.

I will never take what is not freely given. Though I would understand if you were concerned.

Why the hell do you need blood to drink?

Mortal blood, I take it?

[reposing]

I... actually don't know what would happen if I drank your blood.

[feytality]

Wait, wait!

You were a vampire this whole time?! And you didn't say anything?!

[reposing]

The topic never really arose. I was not certain how to bring it up to you, honestly.

Does it bother you?

Can I watch?

What do you want it for?

[But considering he regenerates and therefore losing a little blood means nothing to him...]

[reposing]

Have you heard of vampires?

[boxedcrook]

You're a vampire? No wonder you smelled like that.

How do we know you aren't just going to one day decide to try to feast on everyone, huh? And how do we know you aren't sneaking sips off us?

dont u apologize, i was looking forward to this!!

[reposing]

Perhaps you'd be willing to explain why you smell like a wet dog, then.

A demon, concerned for the safety of others? Won't marvels ever cease.
