[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?

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

What do you need blood for?

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

Certainly, if you need it.

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

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?? ]

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.

Do you still need blood?

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

[ 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. ]

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.]

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

Wow.

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

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

Why the hell do you need blood to drink?

[ yay, bellamy listens for once. sort of ... ]

[ he hardly seems surprised. ]

Mortal blood, I take it?

Wait, wait!

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

Can I watch?

[ that's his stellar question. ]

What do you want it for?

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

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?
