( 001 ) video ✶ it's a small crime and i got no excuse

[ this post is not a great post to make. jenna debates saying anything at all, but the other options aren't options so much as death sentences. after steeling her nerves, a visibly ill at ease but trying to grin through it jenna has a few things to ask, o fellow passengers on this not-a-yacht. ]

Okay, everyone else is doing the 'where are we, why are we here' thing, and better than I could so... I'll take the other obvious ones. Has anyone found food? And more importantly, booze? Because I would trade the space jumpsuit off my back for a bottle of Cuervo right now.

[ pause. and this is the MOST CASUAL QUESTION WHAT. no ulterior motives here, shhh. ]

And on a different note, what's the medical situation like here? Because the first aid class I took says we should probably have bandages, Neosporin, Advil... blood bags... [ one of these things is not like the other. ] Just curious.

[ worst stealth vampire of the year award: in the bag. ]

You know! In case people need... transfusions.

[Okay, that was kind of suspicious, but he's not used to thinking 'vampire'. Also, the only vampire he's ever met was a pretty good guy.]

That may be a larger problem than it first appears, actually... I suspect a number of the people here would not be compatible with human blood. And there is the problem of storage. Perhaps some kind of synthetic substitute is available.

[ jenna is good vampire! hopefully. maybe. it's all kind of under twenty four hours new, really. ]

They make that? [ interest: piqued. ]

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

They did on my last ship. It was incredibly helpful; the people on board didn't need to regularly donate and the head of Medical didn't have to scrounge around for something to drink.

[Yeah, that's right; there was a vampire doctor.]

[unparental]

[ ...jaw drop. ]

He, um-- he drank blood?

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Well... that's generally what vampires do. Nice guy.

[unparental]

[ give jenna a minute to lock this damn feed. or attempt to-- who knows who well she does it. ]

So you know about vampires?

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

I... think so? At least the kind of vampire that was on the ship. I understand there are different kinds.

[unparental]

Oh, thank god. That's... why I need it. Hi. [ awkward wave, sup. ]

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Hi. Well. Maybe someone could donate some blood for you. I'm sure there are people here with some to spare. Like that America fellow.

[Seriously, if anyone could withstand some temporary anemia]

I'd offer you mine, but I'm not sure what would happen.

[unparental]

It's okay, I don't feed on people anyway. Hence, the not so subtle questions about blood bags.

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

The blood bags come from people, though, don't they? What's the difference?

[unparental]

I'm a little bit new at this.

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

[Color him confused]

Well, perhaps someone could fill up a bag and give it to you.

[unparental]

When I said new? Less than twenty four hours new.

[ she sighs. ]

Okay, honestly? I'm afraid I'll hurt someone.

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

...Why would you be afraid of that? As long as they're offering it willingly, there's no harm done.

[Zoucihi just hadn't grown up on years of pop culture vampire lore.]

[unparental]

There's a losing control portion I'm worried about.

[ she'd probably be okay, but caution > someone dying. ]

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Sam never seemed to lose control. Is it something that you gain with experience?

[unparental]

I think? I hope. I'm flying blind, for the most part.

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Oh. And you don't have any... vampire mentors?

[Wow, that sounded dumb.]

[unparental]

Not a single one. I actually thought vampires were fake until... oh. About a week ago.

[ not that dumb, actually. ]
