[ vampire planet...

shu's just in the central area, around the nest. definitely not because i know project moon or anything. absolutely not. but he is -- he's not looking at one area in particular, just... exploring, getting to know this new place they've found themselves in before they're forced to work.

the area's still busy and bustling, but for the moment, he's just leant up against one of the outside walls and watching the world go by with a thoughtful look. ]

... it's just vampires.

[applebough]

... Vampires with advanced technology?

[ Hello, Shu. Yuri found and heard what he said, and... well. Vampires don't sound very safe from her experiences, so she definitely put on that anti-bite balm on her shoulders earlier. Can never be too careful. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ opens up pinterest because it's fit check time, aka my favourite part of murdergames. ]

There are modern day vampire stories, and sci-fi ones so... yeah. More likely that you think. [ for these up until now fictional creatures. ] Although the needle teeth thing is new.

[applebough]

[ fit check, it is. They're just gonna wear black, huh. ]

Yes, I've never seen anything like it before...

[ She looks up where the blood donation building is. Reminds her of Dahut and Scien. Feels bad, man. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ all black is timeless and classic and therefore so are they. ]

Guess that's the advanced technology you mentioned. Easier blood collection.

[ rip virches you would've loved vampire blood donation planet. ]

[applebough]

[ rip virches ]

... I don't think I'll ever like the idea of something trying to get into my skin like that.

[ Never mind the nanites, but she's so... hungry. She's having cognitive dissonance between hunger and blood donations. ]

[roseoftexas]

Not even medically?

[ the less shu thinks about the nanites after this weekend the better. ] It's... weird that it's a primary source of nutrition for someone. But they might think me eating a sandwich was weird, so what do I know?

Were you exploring?

[applebough]

Oh, I mean... teeth.

[ Or any teeth-adjacent things. ]

As you said, they're basically vampires, aren't they? They even gave us fake canine implants...

[ Which she does not have. i remember fake toy vampire teeth and talking was impossible with those on ]

[roseoftexas]

[ hmmm. ] Some people don't mind it.

[ don't say that. ] I guess that's to blend in. They might make a beeline for us if they think we're tourists and maybe easier to persuade to donate for the cause.

[ the cause being lunch ]

[applebough]

[ ...

She'll just ignore that first part. ]

... That's... Do you have yours on?

[roseoftexas]

[ hmm hmmmm ♪


... shu just curls his lip back slightly so she can see that-- nope. he doesn't. ]

If I don't want to give them my blood, they're not getting it. [ end of. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

Hopefully you won't have to fight anyone. They said that they wanted to keep the relations peaceful.

[ Sometimes it sucks!! You gotta endure it!! That's what Yuri thinks anyway. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ imagine starting a brawl over blood on week 1 day 1. ]

I think 'no' will probably do it. You seen those people asking for blood donations? Seems like they have a means of getting people fed without it restoring to brawls in back alleyways.

[applebough]

[ thankfully yuri is normal unlike my other characters who think a fight is hot ]

I wonder if they receive anything in exchange for donating blood...

[ ... ]

That reminds me. Scrap was giving away fruit snacks that had blood in them. Do you think I should donate those? They could probably separate the blood through a centrifuge.

[roseoftexas]

[ it IS funny when things just descend into brawling tho. in rp at least. ]

Like cash or items? Could always ask.

[ oh. ]

... Oh, I saw those. Maybe? Or maybe as a pick me up, if someone's desperate. Like if you're hungry, but you can't just eat a huge meal because it would be too much for you.

[applebough]

[ where's the lie ]

I think ingesting blood would be bad for us.

[ Just... saying... ]

I wouldn't want to chance getting a disease.

[roseoftexas]

Oh, no I mean-- if they'd take them at the donor bank. Like if they get an emergency but there's no blood.

[ blood snackies. ]

[applebough]

[ blood snackies...

Yuri looks thoughtful for a moment. thoughts of nosferatu intensifies. ]

I see...

[ She doesn't see. ]

Do you think they sell food other than blood meals? I should have taken some handwiches with me...

[roseoftexas]

[ we'll make a twilight lover out of her by the end of the week. ]

... Good question. Probably? They seem equipped for tourists, and I doubt every tourist that passes through is happy to sample the local cuisine.

[applebough]

[ Right. That makes sense. Yuri looks around again and wonders while her hunger goes into a different category... ]

Have you dealt with an actual vampire before?

[roseoftexas]

[ doth she hunger for teen girl vampire lit of the 2000s? ]

Nope. They're not real back home.

[applebough]

[ I think she should read the twilight series as a treat. or watch the movies ]

Oh. That's probably a good thing... one less thing to worry about. I never personally dealt with one, but the way my coworkers described it didn't sound very... pleasing.

[roseoftexas]

[ you've said that and now you have trapped yourself in a contract with me to accidentally get them watching twilight in the rec room. butt dial a movie. ]

Wait, you actually have them in your city?

[applebough]

[ you think i wont but i watched enough njsj watchalongs for it ]

It was one of the subjects that my company had to look after for energy harvesting purposes.

[ nosferatu was technically unused for lobcorp, but i'm doing it anyway ]

I wouldn't say that they're common, though there were more cannibals than vampires.

[roseoftexas]

[ it's time. tw*light time. ]

Energy harvesting from vampires?

[ that's... new.


and then she mentions cannibals and he just Looks at her like. girl??? ]
