[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? :)

[anamnestik]

A simple 'yes' or 'no' will suffice.

Not to be rude, but my energy is limited right now. I can't waste it crossing town to someone who can't replace it.

If I'm not careful, I'm going to slip into hibernation soon.

[thoushaltnotdie]

Not to worry, I'll have you covered. I'm definitely human, and I'm pretty sure I'm still alive.

[anamnestik]

Thank you.

Where shall I meet you, then?

My name is Eliot, by the way.

[thoushaltnotdie]

Yosano. I've set up shop in a cottage. I tried to make it close to the center of town, so it's both hopefully not a long walk, and easy to find.

[anamnestik]

Nice to meet you, Yosano. I'm on my way, then.

Please think about what you want for me to recite for you.

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

Do you know any poems?

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]

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

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

[anamnestik]

Of course I know poems.

Are you a living human?

[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.

[passio]

For the most part, I think so.

[ what a vague answer. ]

[troubadamsel]

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

Exactly how much do you need?

[anamnestik]

Then if you want for me to recite some poems for you, that could be arranged.

[anamnestik]

I seal off my memories so I don't go insane. Result is a stupid and carefree version of myself.

And I don't need much. I can drink from a number of people to avoid making anyone feel anemic.

Also, I'm not contagious or anything.

[troubadamsel]

Try and figure out a specific number if possible. We have a number of people who are too pure of heart, and no doubt they'd let you drink them dry without realizing they were dying.

[anamnestik]

I never drink from anyone who doesn't understand the value of their blood. If they won't put a price on it, I can't feel comfortable using them as a food source.

Two pints is fine, but I don't intend to take that much from a single person.

I need about five pints every two months to survive.

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
