[She's blinking. This was definitely not Bon Tempes. This wasn't even close. And what was worse was she needed to feed. But in a place like this? The humans well... they didn't see too keen on the idea. Jessica awkwardly smiled and pulled a long strand of red hair back.]

So, I got this problem, see. I sort'a need somethin' to live, and it ain't really available here, not like home. Well it is, but... I just really need it. [Her eyes go wide for a moment, the idea of blood possessing her. She has to calm herself.]

I ain't exactly sure how to go about it. But it's who I am. Things are just different here, all y'all's worlds are so different. [She looks down for a moment. She'd probably think most of the people out there were lucky. They didn't have to rip someone's throat open to feed. Jess visably cringes.]

I ain't been here long, so some of ya might not even know me. I'm Jessica. [She leaves out the vampire part for now. It wasn't that she wasn't going to admit what she was, but this wasn't like one of those meetings where you stood up, announced your name and what you were.]

Guess this was sort'a pointless.

I doubt it's as pointless as you think. What is it you need?

[ he's got his suspicions—but then again, he's always got his suspicions. ]

I've been negligent, I apologize. It should have been my first thought when we met. If you go to the medical bay, they can provide you with what you need. They are familiar with our kind.

It ain't your fault. I'm just glad it's available. I didn't wanna go-- [She paused.] You know... I ain't really the type to just attack someone.

[Unless she was really hungry.]

what do u think I need?

[This place seems a little more friendly to her type, and it's not like she's ashamed of herself. She just want witches or werewolves or whatever the hell else is here to come after her.]

And I should prefer it if you did not. If it is offered freely, then I have no objection. Do as you will. Otherwise, we must ensure that we are thought well of here. There is enough trouble and discontent aboard this ship without needlessly causing more.

You said you needed it to live. You look human, so I'd assume it's food of some kind.

[ He doesn't precisely want to jump the gun or offend her, so he leaves out the actual guess. ]

Is it something you'd rather not discuss in public?

in my world it's sorta out in the open. I'm not sure here.

[Gauging people's reactions were hard enough back home, but starting from scratch is pretty tough. She still is herself. She'll still tell people she is what she is. She just doesn't want to open up with 'hi, guys, I wanna suck your blood'.]

There's much that's out in the open on this ship. From what I hear, many different creatures have managed to co-exist peacefully. Vampires, for example. [ Pointed pause. ] And a - mutant, of a sort, among other beings.

[When have vampires ever coexisted peacefully? Though what Godric was saying was true then.]

I'm a vampire. but I don't just go round attacking people.

I ain't gunna cause any trouble. Bad enough I live in a small town and people think makin' crosses as me is gunna make me go away or somethin'. I just don't wanna die here.

You're a vampire, huh?

[this kid doesn't sound, or look, worried in the slightest.]

[ Never, in his experience. (And certainly not with two he can think of, just off the top of his head.) But up here, they seem to have made an effort. ]

I know a vampire who does the same. He drinks animal blood. So do the vampires in his employ.

animal blood? ewwwwwwww!!!1 that is disgusting. I'd probably get really sick. all I know is I need human blood.

Ugh, yeah. [Squinting eyes.] You gunna make somethin' of it?

There are stores in the medbay, if I'm not mistaken.

[ Pause. ]

You could ask for a willing human donor, but you may find it more trouble than it's worth.

willing is always better. but I'll take what I can get for the moment. can't believe I'm already missing Fangtasia.

[he shrugs, all dark eyes and curly blond hair.]

Well it's not like you're the first one.

Doesn't mean people don't have their prejudices. [Crossing her arms. Even if he's pretty in that creepy way.]

[ . . . ]

Fangtasia?

vampire bar back home

[ Ah. Well. That makes more sense.

Vampires never did have a sense of... well, it's a terrible pun. ]

And they had live donors there?

I hope you will find coexistence easier here, and I am glad you seek it. Not all of our kind do.

it's a freakin fetish for some people

[....right, so. This all sounds more than a little suspicious and weird, but--you don't get to be best mates with a werewolf by judging people based on who-slash-what they are, or what they need. Right.

....and anyway, she's sort of cute, so that helps, motivationally speaking.]

What's it that you're needing, precisely? Like--er-- medication?

Not surprising. I've seen it.
