voice, the second } crack kills

[allbloodyhail]

[ THIS IS FORWARD DATED spike would usually do this up on video but given the chaos and just how shitty he looks-- oh, yeah, if you haven't seen spike in a bit there's a reason for it. he looks like death. literally. skinny, sallow, low-energy. he's not even quipping like he should be. he's scarcely been here ninety days, but without blood, he's not healing like he should. these demons are giving him the go around and he doesn't like it. so have a raspy english voice, sounding much tireder than usual, which really everyone should expect given the theme around here. ]

I'll tell you all, I've seen an apocalypse or two in my day. And this? This is a bloody disaster.

Floor 22, Room 17. I've got some weapons and hiding spots, but that's not what I'm on about. I'll see you all in the trenches anyway. [ he takes a breath, he might be smoking. ]

...This blood situation, yeah? For us vamps. [ pauuuuuse ] It's wrong, and I'll tell you why it's wrong. This might be a bloody big ship, but it's going to start seeming a whole hell of a lot smaller if we keep handing over human to them--us. To us.

I don't drink human blood, it's a life choice. Let's use an analogy. Now, I talked to an expert on the subject so let's call 'blood' ... 'heroin.' And let's call bagged blood something they call 'methadone.' That's a drug used to bring someone down off scag, if you didn't know. But it doesn't work, and neither does this. Drinking it from a bag? Well. Just makes someone want the real thing.

Over on the Cyllene, guy name of Jayne told me to look for Dr. Tam up in the med bay? But I'm sorry, doc, and anyone else who might have a hand in that concoction -- I don't trust it. Don't ruddy well trust anyone with a beaker and I've got good reason.

There's got to be another way.

[ he hangs up rather abruptly, it takes a lot to get a rise out of him like this. it took the perfect cocktail of starvation, sleeplessness, nightmares and demons from his homeworld but now he's here and he's mad. and yeah, no that's basically it. ]

You need blood to survive, Spike. Other vampires rely on the bagged blood and the synthetic stuff. Even humans have volunteered themselves to bed fed on. Willingly and not much blood is taken.

With all the shit that's going on recently, you'll need your strength.

You don't get it, Bela. It's not that simple.

You're pickin' now to do this? 'cause we're all a little busy.

You think I don't bleeding know how busy you all are? I've been in the thick of it since this whole mess started.

[kutte]

Seems like plenty of folks willing to take a breather.

action!!

[ jax has a bloody nose, and he's lighting a cigarette. this whole post is basically entertainment in the midst of what is clearly a shitshow happening all around them. ]

What'd you even drink at home anyway?

action!!

[allbloodyhail]

Pig's. [ spike takes a drag off his own cigarette and leans his chair way back. it's probably going to end poorly for him. ]

[Abby looks just about like death, too. She's been feeding, bits of bagged blood here and there, but it's not the same as fresh and that, coupled with a lack of sleep, is starting to visibly take its toll in a major way.

She wasn't going to reply, she wasn't, but at this point screw trying to keep her anonymity. She's outed herself to others and enough is enough.

She seems to just stare for a moment, as though she forgot she'd even turned this thing on, then snap out of whatever thought she was having and focuses on the screen.]

The synthetic stuff made me sick. [A pause.] The bagged stuff isn't fresh enough. [Another pause.] I agree. Something needs to be done. Something else. Especially if we can't sleep, and are facing threats, on top of it.

Yeah, see. No time like the present, is there, Bit? [ man she looks like hell. he wonders if he looks that bad yet. probably. ]

Then, run along, luv. This post isn't for you.

[ he wouldn't usually be this snappish, even to a vampire. but this is so not going his way. ]

[oooooo so not in the mood]

This is Doctor Tam, in Medbay. I might have to take a rain check on this conversation because we're securing our tech before it's damaged or stolen. I'd very much like to hear your 'other ways' once we deal with the current emergency.

[voice]

[allbloodyhail]

Would you now? Thought you might take a minute out of your busy schedule for me, doc. Jayne vouched for you and everything.

text. i'm gonna be so effing slow sorry

[ex_question191]

[ considering last month he helped get a vampire-addict chained up in his own room for detox this post is 900% relevant to stiles' interests. ]

As far as I can tell there's 2 categories of vamps onboard: the ones who die if they don't have some kinda blood, and the ones who don't. The blood donation and synthesis program is to stop the first kind snacking on their neighbors.

take yo time

[allbloodyhail]

I get that, thanks for the lesson.

[ So, he may be entirely too tired to even realize he probably shouldn't talk to strangers, but here he is. ]

You're a proper vampire, then?

[ Well, they don't entirely have them in the magical world. Or rather, he's never met one. So this is pretty trippy. ]

[allbloodyhail]

As proper as can be, I'd wager. Never met one, I take it?

You're lucky.

[humanistic]

Yeah. Your other way is goin' clean.

[yo same level of tired here. tired-tired, as in sleep-deprived tired, and also tired as in totally over this conversation of blood and being on the wagon and off the wagon and bags and synthetic and live feedings and still being hungry and just

tired of vampire problems basically. but unfortunately you are just irritating enough to be likable, Spike, so here you go]

voice; locked

[allbloodyhail]

Clean. [ he lets out a breath, shuddering but soft. there was no such thing as going clean as far as he was concerned. he'll be dust long before in any case. ]

Starving to death, you mean.

[slipperysoul]

An apocalypse in space. Apparently we really haven't seen it all.

[ it's a SPACEPOCALYPSE. but he's not saying that outloud stfu. nor is he bringing up the blood thing because how he feels about that should already be obvious. he's just not about to start a support group for it... ]

keywords always apply

[allbloodyhail]

Always more to learn, isn't there, Papi? [ that's right, angel. he just called you papi. ]

videoforever ayup and privated too i guess

[askedtobe]

[ peter....... does not look like death. well. at least not really like death, especially with the damn nosebleeds, but at least benefits of healing forever have helped with the not sleeping EVER thing. ]

There's animals on board, I just don't know how easily accessible their... blood is. [ weird conversation is weird. ] Or if you'd even be interested in what's hanging around.

private;

[allbloodyhail]

It's not that I'm not interested, it's that I'd be taking back from your all's food supply. [ see look he's considerate as fuq right now. when it's really really inconvenient for everyone else. ]

Which is already scarce on this death machine.

[faderbroderson]

No time like the present. [Funnily enough, this doesn't sound like a chastisement.]

[allbloodyhail]

...No, there isn't, is there? It's the only time like it.
