Um... Hello, my name is Mari Baek. I just arrived.

I think I get more or less what's going on, and I'll go take care of getting a place to stay and a job soon, but there's something I need to ask.

Where exactly would be the best place to get pig's blood? If just the blood is impossible, then fresh pork meat would be fine.

Thank you in advance.

Actually I've fo+und that yo+u can get so+me rather fresh go+blin blo+o+d fro+m Fayren if yo+u can get in to+uch with the right peo+ple. I do+n't kno+w if that might be preferable than pig blo+o+d.

There's also+ a Tavern in Everglade that actually tends to+ have so+me sto+res o+f human blo+o+d... but there's so+me questio+n in the ethics o+f their so+urces.

Unless o+f co+urse yo+u just have a specific culinary dish in mind, then yo+u'd pro+bably just want to+ get in to+uch with a farmer o+r butcher fro+m Fayren instead and disregard all o+f the previo+us things I just said.

[There's some delay in her response as she reels from the sheer surprise of getting that for her first reply.

Jesus, what were the odds?]

You're... You're a vampire too?

[gammavirginis]

Rainbo+w Drinker technically, but sure.

Trying to+ adjust to+ all to+ all these news kinds o+f blo+o+d here is a little unco+mfo+rtable. And the 'tro+lls' o+f Fayren taste no+thing like the blo+o+d o+f my peo+ple, I can tell yo+u that. Tho+ugh if yo+u let it set lo+ng eno+ugh it do+es tend to+ replenish itself so+ that's handy.

[weirdgeekyvampiregirl]

[Alien vampires... Well, sure, why not? She'd already been kidnapped into another dimension.]

I see...

Well, I don't drink human blood, so that tavern's out... I guess I can try the troll blood if I don't have any luck with the farmers or butchers...

[Although given how switching from human to pig's blood had physical effects on her species, she'd really rather save it as an absolute last resort.]

[gammavirginis]

I'm actually no+t entirely sure where fo+o+d is pro+cessed in No+va o+r Genessia. Do+ they impo+rt fro+m Fayren? I've never seen farms there, but maybe they are just far fro+m civilizatio+n. Or maybe they just recycle dead bo+dies o+r so+mething.

Or maybe it's all 'magic.' Magic seems to+ be the answer mo+st o+f the time.

[weirdgeekyvampiregirl]

Well... They don't bring us here just so we can starve to death, right? Hopefully there's something for me.

[gammavirginis]

Well Pig's blo+o+d sho+uld be relatively easy to+ track do+wn. Pig's meat yo+u sho+uld be able to+ find in just abo+ut any supermarket.

[weirdgeekyvampiregirl]

That's true. Blood would be more convenient, but just the fresh meat will do.

[gammavirginis]

Let me kno+w if yo+u have any tro+uble finding wo+rk o+r a place to+ stay.

And I will also+ be ho+lding a small get to+gether at my new place, if yo+u want to + dro+p by.

[weirdgeekyvampiregirl]

Ah... Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.

I would look for a farm nearby or check with a shop.

[ this is no big deal ]

Well, yes, but I was wondering if anyone knew a specific place that was good.

I mean, it's not something you just buy lightly, is it?

I found a butchers tends to have blood as well as the places other people have already suggested.

[weirdgeekyvampiregirl]

Yes, I think I'll just start going to different butchers and see which one has the best.

[behindthefakesmile]

That's always the best idea. Especially if you only have so much money when you first arrive.

[weirdgeekyvampiregirl]

That's true... Blood shouldn't be too expensive on its own, but I shouldn't spend too much...

[behindthefakesmile]

It's not believe me, though why I buy it might not be for the same reasons.

[That cryptic message makes her wonder if Fai is a vampire, but she decides against asking anything directly. Even if he is, it's not on her to ask.]

Well, pig's blood is pig's blood, right? What you use it for only matter in how much you buy.

Not a lot in my case. It's just an experiment.
