hello everyone i have an interesting request

you see something has been brought to my attention and i just can't let it go without learning the answer

i'm sure most of us know the general blood-drinking lore, right

that virgin blood is the best blood and non-virgin blood just can't compare, because purity is important or something

but that's not why i'm here

i'm here for a vastly different comparison

vegetarians vs meat eaters

i've been drinking from nazis, ghouls, and other vampires for so long that i just don't know if i've even had a vegetarian, how sad is that

my point here is: i'm looking for blood donors, both vegetarian and meat eating, to make a comparison

the virgin thing doesn't matter, just what you eat, that's all i'll be comparing in this exercise

you have my word as a gentleman that if you decide to donate, i won't take too much

or turn you into a vampire

or kill you

even if you're into that kind of thing i might get in trouble with my mas~ter if i misbehave too badly

anyway, just some food for thought

feel free to weigh in with your opinion if you've had both sides of the coin

hey just calling it how i see it
let me know what you find out
i don't even care how long it takes

[goneforawalk]

that's what i want to find out

i've been eating, but i can't expect my master to feed me indefinitely, she's not an endless fountain of blood, much as i would enjoy that

( Well, at least he's upfront about it, but: )

You're on a leash?

( Fantastic conversational skills, Kiritsugu. )

[scarsnstripes]

Is it different in other cases? I can't imagine it can taste that different.

[That's just strange, for Atsushi. Blood just tastes like blood to him, and he's swallowed more than enough of it in fights.

To be fair, he is talking to a vampire, so this is already on a level of unusual. But wouldn't it be sad, not being able to eat different foods?]

Are you saying you aren't eating enough?

[itsknighttime]

idk man ive watched some pretty boring shit happen
you ever tried stock market investing?

yeah see thats what im here for
im here to help
so ok another question you honestly cant really tell if someones a virgin by their blood right
you have to do like a dick dna test or something?

[goneforawalk]

i shall wait patiently

[goneforawalk]

no i was born into royalty and maintained that for centuries, never tried the stock market

yes you can tell

i mean it's generally more polite to ask first but taste is a defining factor

[goneforawalk]

i'll keep you updated on my findings

[goneforawalk]

[ hm, rude ]

essentially yes

my master is here so i should generally abide by what she would prefer i do

i suppose

[goneforawalk]

there are a lot of nuances

different blood types taste differently as well, and if someone has an iron deficiency it's not as satisfying

mm not exactly

it would just be awful if i drained her dry, you know

[scarsnstripes]

Nuances?

Huh... Can you at least eat other foods? Or are the various nuances of blood all you can have?

[He couldn't imagine not being able to taste Chazuke again.

There's no text in response for several moments, before--]

If you're ever worried about not getting enough, I can help. I don't know about 'endless fountain', but my body heals very quickly. And if it means you'll be able to eat more often, I'm happy to help.

[He knows what starvation feels like. Probably not nearly as well as Alucard did, but... Better safe than sorry, all around.]

[originbullets]

( Iiiiiiinteresting. )

I didn't realize vampires were in the habit of adopting human masters.

( Not that he's bothered to talk to any that weren't at the end of his gun. )

What made you decide to follow her?

[itsknighttime]

i wasnt hurting for pennies and i still did
id say you should have tried but it really was boring

how is that more polite?
thats like asking a girl what size her tiddies are when you damn know the size is small or big

[tigerpoet]

I want to offer to help, but I almost forgot that I don't have blood anymore. It would be unpleasant to bite into someone and get ink instead of blood.

[He's tasted too much ink, he knows. It's Bad.]

Does virgin blood taste differently? Vampire lore is often contradictory depending on culture and writer.

I ate a horse heart once. I can't say I cared for the taste. Cooked meat is preferable by far.

[anti_altruisms]

Interesting.

Unfortunately, I can't really assist with your experiment seeing as I also subsist on something other that food, but it seems you won't lack for volunteers.

[wantsnudes]

Just how many vampires are there amongst the Moonblessed...?

[hoasen]

What if it one is not even human?

[songbird_slayer]

Hmm. Color me interested. I'm not wholly a vegetarian, but I couldn't tell you how long it's been since I've had red or white meat.

Besides, if a diet can determine what someone tastes like during sex, I'd be interested in knowing how it affects the blood.

I've ingested small amounts of blood before for various reasons related to my craft. But as I'm not a vampire, I doubt my palate would be able to detect all the subtle differences that may exist. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a distinction, but I also believe that there's other things to consider, especially in a place such as this one.

Either way, it was all the same to me.

Vampires in my world could drink from any of the mortal races. I've never heard of virgin blood having any special qualities, but once again, I wouldn't know the full story.

I knew of a vampire, for instance, who preferred the blood of elves.

Whether that was simply due to biological differences or diet is a question we never got an answer for before she was slain. I do know that many surface elves are vegetarian, and the ones who aren't tend to eat considerably less meat than other cultures, but broad generalizations cannot be the truth for an entire race.

[ Huh. Was whoever sent that text at the beginning of the month actually referencing Dracula's dick? Because this has not the sound of a seasonal name change, nor a shitpost and she kind of hates that that's her first Dracula-related thought. Moving right along -- ]

I've got a few questions. Firstly, nazis? Equally importantly, are you going to share the results with the network or are you planning on keeping your findings to yourself?

[meteorman]

I'm another who'd be very interested in seeing the results of this survey if you're willing to share.

Unfortunately I can't provide a vegetarian sample. I like bacon too much. Though a Jew who eats bacon might also taste unique, I wouldn't know.

[compagno]

Was this really necessary?

[ can he just give up being a vampire ]

[liberaltus]

You'll have to forgive my cheek, but what in the Maker's most sacred of frilly knickers is a vampire? [Because Thedas has no such lore. 99 problems and vampires ain't one of 'em.] Some breed of hunger demon, blood mage, darkspawn? No, doesn't really fit...hunger demons devour everything, blood mages don't drink blood, and darkspawn...well waste not want not I suppose, but corruption is more their MO.
