[ the camera is cocked to the side, showing the picture of a very large, very pale man with longish fangs pressed against his lower lip and blond hair sticking out in messy locks at some parts. the black clothing that he wears is badly ripped and torn, especially the tank top, and the rest of him is covered with splattered blood,

[ long pause ]

Are you okay?

[itextedyou]

Aside from the massive blood loss and the painfully itchy healing wounds, I will live.

voice;

[hundredflowers]

The hospital probably has extra blood stored in the banks for occasions like this.

Unless you're not a fan of hospitals.

voice;

[itextedyou]

I'm not a fan of fast food or TV dinners.

voice;

[hundredflowers]

Fast food and TV dinners didn't exist, where and when I'm from, but what I've had in the City's better than what they served at the mess halls.

So no one's offered you anything fresh? You don't seem like the type who needs to ask, but. I shouldn't judge.

[itextedyou]

What I have had in the City has at least been...interesting.

Asking takes less energy than other options. I don't have the energy to spare at the moment.

voice;

[hundredflowers]

I hear that's standard fare, in the City.

private | unhackable

Well, if asking passerby leaves you empty-handed, let me know.

You don't seem like the typical type who offers themselves.

Or perhaps you do.

If you're going to drink deep, better from a fountain that replenishes itself.

In a manner of speaking.

private | unhackable voice;

[itextedyou]

Replenishes itself?

private | unhackable voice;

[hundredflowers]

I'm not the only one in the City; do you really need it spelled out?

private | unhackable voice;

[itextedyou]

Some kind of a human healer.

Do you know that most who offer themselves to us are looking for death. That is what we are.

private | unhackable voice;

[hundredflowers]

Healer makes it sound nice. Also makes it sound like I'm capable of doing anything for other people with this 'gift.'

Don't be so quick to exclude me from that majority. Those who cheat death unwillingly can still chase after it.

[itextedyou]

I could make it enjoyable for you.

private | unhackable voice;

[hundredflowers]

Is that supposed to make me feel better about it? I'm offering. You don't owe anything.

private | unhackable voice;

[itextedyou]

No. I just know that I could.
