[The boy typing this message isn't his usual ditzy, cutesy self: Eliot has gone over a month without human blood, and his grumpy personality has taken over to address the problem:]

Please don't think poorly of me for this.

I'm looking for a living human who could donate blood to me. I am starving and can't stay awake anymore.

I don't know how many people my ditzy self told "I can survive off fruit juice and animal blood," but that was a stupid lie. It has to be human blood and from a living person.

There isn't much I can offer in exchange. I have an extensive memory and can recite books from my world, both for facts and entertainment. If I'm fed, I can happily recite anything you'd like.

Thank you.

Fascinating. If you'd like, I'm interested in settling a deal. I'd need you to come here, though. Do you think you can make it?

[anamnestik]

Yes, that would be fine.

[He thinks she wants someone recited to her, so meeting in person makes sense.]

Are you a living human?

[thoushaltnotdie]

Guess we'll find out, won't we? :)

Are you serious? Why did you lie in the first place??? HOW DID YOU EXPECT TO LIVE????

[anamnestik]

The 'other me' doesn't know the specifics.

I'm kind of an idiot without my full memories.

[troubadamsel]

Other you? Oh, do I even want to know?

Exactly how much do you need?

Do you know any poems?

[anamnestik]

Of course I know poems.

Are you a living human?

[passio]

For the most part, I think so.

[ what a vague answer. ]

What are the side effects for the victim?

[Look, he's ready his own share of books involving vampires. If this is a vampire.]

[anamnestik]

Blood loss?

I can't 'turn' anyone who doesn't want to be turned.

[The hexcode is correct, but this doesn't sound like Eliot at all...]

I can come over now if you need.

[Since he knows where you live due to delivering all that spiderdeer blood. HE HAS SO MANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW. But it seems like it'd be better to ask them in person if possible.]

I do not need any form of repayment.

[anamnestik]

[Seeing Mahmut's hex code gives Eliot a dose of guilt. This is the kind person that his other self has been troubling lately: He's had Mahmut bringing him animal blood, even though it isn't very effective. The energy Mahmut spends acquiring the blood is likely double what it gives Eliot.

It's a waste and he feels bad about it.]

Someone has offered their blood to me. I will take them up on the offer this time.

I can't accept blood without repaying you. I'm sorry.

I don't want to be a vampire who doesn't treat human blood as valuable.

[a_special_hat]

[Vampire. He had heard that word from another person here.]

I see. In that case I apologize if my offer had been presumptuous. Regardless, I am glad you have found someone to take blood from this time.

You speak as if you are different from the person I spoke to before. May I ask why that is?

yeah sure why not
my sisters girlfriend is a vampire too
(im just assuming youre a vampire)
(idk maybe youre not)
(that sounds like vampireism tho)

[anamnestik]

Congratulations on being right.

What do you want to know in exchange?

I don't believe in taking blood for free.

[parodeity]

do you have any like action movie books in your head
i will take one bedtime story per idk
whatever exchange rate you think is fair
but there is no tv and bedtime stories sound fun

can't really offer myself since I'm pretty sure someone would be mad, but I gotta say this is probably the most civil request I've seen for a blood exchange
do you only need one person?

[anamnestik]

thank you?

Ideally, I would take small amounts from multiple people.

As I am not contagious, I would prefer to lessen the burden on any volunteers.

[hydrokinetics]

so that's why the exchange rate
there's really no other option?

[good_ideas]

so you’re like a vampire audio book

And no one would think badly of you here
I mean this is a little weird maybe but it could be worse

Good luck

[anamnestik]

Putting it that way makes me sound highly replaceable

but i suppose you are not wrong.

*I

[good_ideas]

seeing as how we don’t all have access to regular chargers here i’d say you weren’t?

Besides anything is more fun than reading fairy tales all the time

How much blood do you need? I can probably help out.

[anamnestik]

[So many people are offering to help! It's... kind of unnerving, actually.]

If a few people can even give me just a cup or pint, it will add up quickly.

However, I must insist that we arrange a fair trade.
