Who: Uchiha Sasuke+YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: Jan. 31

A few things.

There are a good number of fighters here or people otherwise trained in combat. I'm interested in observing people's abilities or training, or at least discussing what they can do. Spars could also be arranged if you want some exercise.

Secondly, I'll take recommendations for good literature available around here.

Finally, if you know how to knit or crochet then I'll offer you up to ten credits to watch you create something.

[ Yeah, this isn't weird. For anyone interested in action he'll be holed up in his room on the Huntress! ]

[ Sascha goes as far as "do they smell clean" and "do they look attractive". That's like...worrying over what your cows eat and stuff. He doesn't want to think about what goes into his "cows" and how that changes the flavour???? If at all. He's never bothered to find out. ]

Y-yeah, but...I don't. Eat it. Remember?? That's why I wanted to hear about it from you!

[ Sascha regrets provoking this train of thought. ]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Sascha, you're the one that thought talking to him would be a good time. ]

I remember. You experience a secondhand version. Perhaps that's preferable... You don't have to process everything to such a complex degree.

You're able to simply take already broken-down nutrients for yourself. [ A vitamin slurry. He's almost envious, though he'd be hard-pressed to part with his favorite foods. ]

[pneumo]

You make it sound super-bland and boring when you say it like that.... [ Blood is more exciting than secondhand food!! He swears :c ]

[eyeforaneye]

I'm not overly passionate about food. It's important, but that doesn't mean it's exceptionally interesting.

[ coming from someone with a cook augment ]

[pneumo]

[ Nutrient paste for all..... ]

But...it's food. You guys come up with all sorts of complicated recipes and stuff for it.

[eyeforaneye]

Don't say 'you guys' as if all humans think the same way. We don't.

Surely your kind are also diverse.

[pneumo]

...I guess? I don't really know. [ He's only kinda met a few people besides the one group initially, casually. Vampires don't really flock together as buddies unless they're Mentor and Newborn for some reason. ]

My Mentor never explained things to me. Or stuck around.

[eyeforaneye]

What do you mean by 'mentor'?

[pneumo]

Oh... Well. Usually when you make a new vampire you either look after them or you get someone close to do it? And they teach you things like what you are, how it works. You call them your Mentor! [ And he....had none of that oops. Just a nice family of humans. ]

[eyeforaneye]

So you aren't born in the traditional sense, not as a vampire. I suppose that would make a considerable difference.

[pneumo]

Yeah... I woke up pretty much alone, hehe. My Mentors were actually a bunch of humans so at first I thought I was still one of them! [ HAHA, SO FUNNY. Ha....haaa............. ]

[eyeforaneye]

...

Is it really such an issue to be something like that? It's just a different diet. I don't understand why it would become such an ordeal.

[pneumo]

Well you do change a lot besides the diet. There's sunlight killing you, blinding you, being hungry all the time, being awake all night, teething... [ Let him just count things off on his fingers for a bit here. ]

[eyeforaneye]

You're describing physical changes, which are of a lesser impact.

Is there a rift between vampires and humans?

[pneumo]

Well...we eat from them. They don't really like us? And a lot of vampires think of them just like food.

[eyeforaneye]

The ones that think of humans merely as a food source deserve that scorn, then, but it's idiotic to paint them all with the same brush.

It seems like it shouldn't be impossible to forge an alliance, but the same could be said of any two warring groups. I suppose it's mankind's nature to create conflict.

[pneumo]

I guess so, haha. I can't imagine a lot of people would like being bitten for blood either though! It hurts! They probably can't help feeling nervous.

[eyeforaneye]

Pain's unimportant. Everyone should learn to deal with something like that sooner or later.

The psychological effect is likely harder.

[pneumo]

Psychological effect?

[eyeforaneye]

The fear or disgust of being hurt or of having your life drained by another being.

[pneumo]

Oh...yeah, haha. I guess there's that too huh? Sorry we're so gross.

[eyeforaneye]

To me it doesn't make much difference, so I'm the wrong person to apologize to. You do what you have to to survive, and in many ways it's no different than how humans act.

We consume the products of other animals without killing them; if you do the same then there shouldn't be a grand issue over it.

[pneumo]

I've never! [ That he recalls. ] You guys are too fun to do that too--and it's gross. I used to be one of you anyway so wouldn't it be super-weird if I became a murderer out of nowhere??

[ Be carefree, be jovial. That's the best way to handle these sorts of things. ]

[eyeforaneye]

People become murderers for less. That part wouldn't shock me.

I just don't think you're so different to humans that it should be focused on by them.

[pneumo]

That's so sweet...♥ [ WHAT A NICE GUY, SASUKE. Look at you go. ]
