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

Can blood really taste that different? Some sort of 'you are what you eat' thing?

And are you asking just for the comparison, or have you been eating enough?

[He's slightly concerned, to be honest.]

[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

[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?

[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.]
