Day 221 — Morning mingle : Main shelter
[Wake up and smell the lack of coffee. You're on a bunk bed. Maybe you're a top and maybe you're a bottom. There are five other people in your room. Maybe they're friends or enemies or faces you barely recognize if at all. It doesn't matter much. You can leave this room and you don't need to come back to it.

You should get your rations though. You're probably hungry. You're definitely a little sluggish of body. What happened to that bruise you got sparing yesterday? What happened to your newly dyed hair? Mystery, mystery... Move along. Find the public bathrooms and do your business with a hundred of your closest friends.

Find the kiosk and get your rations. Careful not to let anyone steal them. You won't get more until tomorrow and the bots won't care. They aren't here to hold your hand. If you get sick or hurt and they deem it necessary they will take you to the hospital whether you wish it or not. But why dwell on such things? You're here now and you might as well enjoy it. You even get a free day today.]

(OOC: OOC info. This mingle takes place in the Main shelter over the morning hours.

	-- Oh! Oh my God, I totally knew that. I must be distracted to forget my Sci-Fi lore. [She reaches out to try and do some sort of fussing but it looks like she'll just make things worse.] Can I get you anything? Like, I dunno. Make an umbrella out of carrot sticks and pillowcases... or a really big bag of ice... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He makes an amused and somewhat dismissive noise. ] Don't worry about it, I've had plenty worse. Comes with the territory. It'll heal up soon enough. [ Only it won't, since they saw fit to seal his fancypants rapid healing. That could be a problem. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're one of those people who isn't going to let me fuss over you at all, huh? Too bad there's not a lot I can offer for distractions. But if there's anything, just blurt it on out and I'll find a way. Maybe I could find a way to make some cards. You like poker at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ More like he's one of those people that others tend to let burn rather than fuss over. He's still adjusting to the fact that there are more people out there that care about him than the woman he happens to be sleeping with at the time. ] Sure, I play... depends on the stakes, though. Usually I end up playin' for kittens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-05-30 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Kittens? You mean literal itty-bitty kitties or is that some awesome slang I'm woefully unfamiliar with? [She manages not to be too freaked at the possibility of the former. Vampire and all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-31 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	Literal itty-bitty kitties. Better than hard cash in th' demon world. [ Not that he has much use for them, but thems the brakes. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wow. Were they valued based on adorableness or fluffiness? [How is this a real conversation she's having?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Taste, mostly... not that I snack on th' furry lit'le critters. Not my cup of tea, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-06-05 01:52 am UTC (link)
	Huh. [Don't be grossed out, don't be grossed out...] So am I going to totally regret asking what your cup of tea is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-05 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Probably. [ Such a shit-eating smirk. ] But since you're asking so nicely... cheerleaders rate pretty high, but anything young and warm is good enough for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess I should thank my lucky stars I'm a computer geek, then. I bet we're stringy. [Eating-people humor, she's new at it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Shrug. ] Blood is blood. Age has more to do with it and you don't look like you've hit your expiration date just yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-06-08 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Well... thanks, I think! I've still got a few good years in me. Not sure how that translates into blood tastiness, though. That was neatly left out of all the vampire lore I ever read. [She's not sure where this conversation is going, but it's interesting, in a creepy way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's about preference, mostly. My sire had a soft spot for babies, but even an old geezer is preferable to animal blood. Don't even get me started on the synthetic wank... they never get it right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wow. So, like, the stuff they have here, on a scale of fine wine to sewage how terrible is it? [All her sympathy, bropire, if the stuff they're peddling is lousy as he makes it sound.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-08 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ He tilts his head as if he's trying to settle on a verdict. ] Rat piss. At least it'll keep me alive... I hope. If all else fails I might have to rally up some donors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She pulls a face that clearly says "ewww."] Man, and I thought being stuck with beets and oatmeal was rotten. And if I guess right, you won't even be able to heal without blood, right?

[Geez. And here she is with plenty of the stuff that might help. Reid's going to kill her, but] Look, I know we don't know each other that well, and I am really really keen on not dying, but if I can help at all...?

	[ Back in Marina he would've jumped on an offer like this (ignoring the bloody chip in his skull, of course) but here, now? Trapped like a powerless rat and still at great risk of getting dusted? He's a little hesitant, to say the least. ] You really know what you're offering here, poppet? I can't just bite you, y'know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-06-08 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	Uh... no, I didn't really know. Why not? Does this not work in the way Bram Stoker would have me believe? [You know, fangs applied liberally to the neck, squealing and/or orgasmic sounds as applicable.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ E y e r o l l. ] Please don't talk about that wanker... [ Mock sigh and then he tugs up the pant of his jumpsuit to show off the ankle monitor. ] The bastards de-fanged the lot of us. Can't vamp out, can't heal... still get burnt by the bloody sun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sorry, sorry. I should've guessed vampy fiction was taboo. [She's still learning all the rules of supernatural socializing!]

So... you're basically even stucker than the rest of us. That's plain discrimination if you ask me!

But, uh. [Back to the point, Penelope.] So I'd have to, say, cut myself and bleed into a glass? [She likes that option way less than just getting bit, for some reason. Probably the intrigue of it. But it's all the same goal, and this way she can control it.]

[She doesn't do great with the sight of blood, but she'll manage.]

Sadly not. I'm a blood-giving virgin. At least when it comes to this kind. I've done the Red Cross thing... well, it doesn't matter.

I admit I'm a little weirded out, but if I were in your position I'd want help, so. Yeah. Let's do this. If we just run by a room on the way to the kitchen I'll tear up some pillow cases for bandages or something.

[Hopefully no one will get upset about this. She's not sure it's the best idea ever, but what is the alternative, let the guy be basically tortured?]

[ Someone up... down... somewhere likes him. That's the only explanation. Not even Jack, the never-ending Happy Meal offered him a snack without wanting something in return. ]

Alright... sure, let's go for it. I'm not going to turn down a square meal. [ More like an afternoon munchie but beggars can't be choosers. ] Just keep this between the two of us, alright? There are some people here who would be all too happy to stake me if they found out I was snackin' on someone.

Man, am I all kinds of for that plan. I don't want to get any of my friends all up on arms, thinking this was something coerced or anything but helping a buddy out. [Which, yes, they may have a teeny right to be upset, but the situation is what it is.]

[And she did give her word, so off to the kitchen.] It's really awkward trying to think of a place to... cut. Where it won't be obvious. Elbow, maybe, if it's good enough for the donor team it's gotta be good enough for us.
