For our more vampiric population, I come to you with a solution for your dietary problems.
I've invented artificial blood. A substance you can consume without harming others, but that will sustain you much as food and water. I owe a debt to Elena for helping me test them.
Unfortunately, it cannot yet be used in a medical sense-- for blood transplants, which are, by the by, a very important part of medical knowledge, which makes up the second part of this announcement.
If you do not know your blood type, come see me, and I can at least determine it. Blood types are a vital bit of information in a place where one routinely gets cut to bits. Transfusing blood-- that is, the act of giving one's blood to another-- can save a life in many cases. However, if the wrong sorts of blood interact, the result can be deadly.
Many of you do not know your blood type. This will, inevitably, come back to bite you.
So. I suggest you come by my lab within the next few days and find out, before you nearly die of an injury, manage to make it back to town, and then die of your original blood sensing the invader and killing off the cells that came to theoretically heal you. What a horrible, ironic death that would be.

What an interesting perspective. Are you always so eager to die, Vanitas, or is it just that you're so repulsed by me?
no subject
What's there to be repulsed by?
I haven't met many people that would leave someone to die and then try to save them afterwards.
Unless you were feeling guilty about it.

I'm asking: if it was another person-- if a doctor had come up to you and told you that they could either save your life or let you die-- which would you choose?
no subject
I'm more interested in why you changed your tune.
