Who: Everyone!!!
Broadcast: No
Action: The Iskaulit
When: For the rest of the month

[Now that we've all had time to settle back into our ships, let's see what's going on over on the Iskaulit! For the new folks, there are already a few establishments and projects going on, but there's plenty of room for everyone, either to join in or to build their own thing. So mingle away!]

What about equivalent experience? I dropped out of college, so I can't really say much there, but...

[stefanged]

Doesn't work that way on Earth. [sigh]

It works well enough for the Fleet, since I've got a lab support augment, but... as soon as I get back home, I'm not sure what I'll do.

[experiencepoints]

Try learning healing magic while you're here. They can't say no to that.

[stefanged]

Can't. [He gestures to his teeth. If they're talking about magic, he guesses that his secret can stay safe with her.] Guys like me aren't exactly able to perform magic.

[experiencepoints]

... Wait, really? Why not? You're not merfolk, are you?

[stefanged]

Nnno. That's actually a first.

I mean more... I'm sorta-kinda.... [deep breath] I'm a vampire, Nightingale. An amnesiac vampire who may or may not be able to control himself around human blood in a hospital, and I'm not sure I want to find out.

[experiencepoints]

...

Oh.

[She takes a moment to process this, before shrugging.]

That's fair. Are you at risk of losing control if you're still keeping fed, though?

[stefanged]

Not really. I drink animal blood, so as long as I hunt every time we're planet-side, I'm okay.

[He's not really convinced, though.]

I'm also taking blood pills every day, but uh - Nightingale? I haven't told everyone, especially since I'm also a lab tech. So... could you....

["Could you not tell everyone?"]

[experiencepoints]

I won't say a word, don't worry.

I didn't know animal blood worked, though...

[stefanged]

Not as well as human blood, but it's enough. [Especially when Stefan's too afraid to feed from people.] Honestly, most vampires back home grab blood from blood drives or blood banks.

There's not a lot of snatching and eating anymore, unless you do it for fun.

[experiencepoints]

... If you need human blood, I fed my vampire teammate for a while, and I can heal myself.

[stefanged]

[He shakes his head, though his smile is a grateful one.]

Thanks, but I'll be okay. I drink animal blood, so as long as I hunt every time we reach a planet, I'm good.
