[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.]

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

How much do you require?

audio, un: ZARYA

[flexing]

[ this is still the weirdest thing ever, AND YET: ] Of course I am ready to give! Only say when and where.

[spiritgun]

What do you need blood for?

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

[fourscores]

Certainly, if you need it.

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

[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.

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?

[tolight]

Nonsense. [ She's!! Fine!! ] Though if I may ask — what will you do with them?

[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.

[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.

[flexing]

Nothing worth mentioning.

Will you collect from many donors? [ thoughtfully: ] How will you store it?

[reposing]

[yeah ok!!] I would drink it.

[refashioned]

Understandable.

I assume you did ask Hathaway for some means to hook yourself up for missions like this one?

[reposing]

Perhaps from a fair share. I may store it into vials, if there is a way to carry them and keep them from spoiling. There are such methods, though I don't know that I would find them here, necessarily.

[tolight]

[ ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Oh. ]

... Is this due to your... [ ... ] Is this because you are a vampire? [ Is this what vampires do??? ]

[reposing]

I had donors among the team.

[He sighs.] Though I should have asked, as you suggested before. I was caught on the mission and set myself aside. Foolish.

[refashioned]

A little.

[A beat.]

But if people are into the whole blood kink thing, who am I to stop them?

[reposing]

...Yes.

If it gives you unease, please don't feel you must give me anything, Lucina. There are others.

[reposing]

[He coughs.]

Well. It has been known to happen, but I doubt that's the case here. [veronica please]

[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?? ]

[tolight]

[ Today she learned. ]

No, no, I just ... I hadn't known. [ She steels herself, and then— ] A pint of blood? How would you like me to ...?

[reposing]

I need it to drink.

[reposing]

There are two ways.

I have with me syringes. Needles. One would penetrate your skin, and I would take your blood in this way. Though I know there are some who are afraid of needles. [which is still a silly concept to him but y'know]

Or I could do it the traditional way. With my teeth.

[fourscores]

Partially starved then.

Are you going to need people to make sure you eat on missions?
