[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.

Comments

[reposing]

No. That's foolish and uneducated. My parents were scientists and raised me with knowledge.

[dbag]

Okay, then no, I don't think that. Glad we could clear that one up. Now, are you really going to... drink this stuff, or what.

[reposing]

Yes. Or I will starve.

[dbag]

Have you considered, like, a burger.

[reposing]

Human food does not give me any manner of sustenance.

[dbag]

Then eat a bunny rabbit or something!

Oh, god, no, don't eat a bunny rabbit. I don't know, eat a rat or something gross. Why do you need a person?

[reposing]

[bad news rhys, he's definitely sucked the blood out of a bunny rabbit recently]

Vampires survive off the blood of humanity. Animal blood can stave our hunger, but it is only that. It must be blood of a sentient person to prolong my life.

It is the nature of vampires. But I would never take more than I need, nor would I take from a person who is unwilling. No matter how they might annoy me.

[dbag]

So, if nobody offered here. You're telling me you would just... lie down and die?

[reposing]

I would ask the natives for their assistance. If none would give me anything, I would have to put myself into a sleep.

But I will not take anything from a person if they are unwilling.

[dbag]

You've seriously never taken any blood from anyone who didn't want it? How the hell have you even made it this far? It's not like people are dying to give their blood away.

[ ... ]

Except for all these weirdos.

[reposing]

There are a lot of humans who are willing to do plenty for the chance of money.

It didn't hurt that my mother was a doctor.

[dbag]

Was she a vampire, too?

[reposing]

No. She was a human.

[dbag]

Oh. So it's not, like, a genetic thing?

[reposing]

My father being a vampire is what causes me to need blood, if that's what you're asking.
