12 BRAINS ; video

[ Hi all. Guess who is waving from the morgue. There are no bodies or horror-esque messes around, she cleaned up first. ]

I'm starting a blood drive to help all those in need. Just because you're part of the monster squad now doesn't mean you have to murder. Come to Genessia General and ask for Olivia Moore if you have any new peculiar eating habits you need to take care of, I'm more than happy to save a life by feeding one. I've already got the hospital administrator's permission.

[ At least for the blood. The other stuff she's not mentioning.. well, that'll be a conversation for when someone arrives if it comes to that. ]

[He's figured out how to use this thing, and the first few seconds are fumbling and muttered complaints. Ah, there we go. A pair of bright blue eyes accompanying a confused-but-pretending-not-to-be face. All of which was filled with immediate interest as he attempted to deduce the scene and the person in it.]

That's a proper morgue. Any good murders lately?

[ He might have a bit of trouble with Liv. Her circumstances aren't exactly normal. Hands of a skilled surgeon but working as a pathologist, an odd pallor that doesn't quite seem like albinism but clearly isn't normal- and her eyes are a normal shade of blue anyway, her skin seems pale but not frail. While most assumed it was a style choice, to the observant it's possible to realize that the color of her hair wasn't done with products and there was blush on her cheeks applied in a way that seemed to give her skin the only life it had. Her lack of blood flow wasn't exactly event-oriented, so he may be surprised to see her that way when he sees her once everyone's 'normal' again. Other than that, she's very clearly good about keeping clean and keeps the morgue in proper order. ]

Only when they send them my way. I mostly get the hospital cases, but when City Guardians or detective agencies or the police need help, they get sent to me since that's what I did back home. Why, are you a detective?

So is the blood actually going to be used to help those who need it?

[She thinks she understands at least.]

Yes. Do I even want to know what else you think I'd be using it for?

People can use blood in a variety of ways, not even I would want to say them.

[Too many horror video games where blood can be used as a ritual.]

You can see my medical license if you really need to.

No, I don't need to. I feel like I can trust you at least. Though that might seem odd to trust someone quickly.

I won't pretend it's not but if you can trust the doctors you've got bigger problems than a blood drive.

Bigger problems? Like what exactly?

Just to clarify... can I donate someone else's blood?

No, you cannot donate anyone's blood besides your own.

[ What kind of question is that? ]

Aw, come on, pleeaase?

What if they don't need it anymore?

Also, and this is important, do you accept squirrel blood.

If animal blood worked everyone would just be heading down to the butcher.

[ She's getting some creeper vibes off of this guy. ]

Oh well, more for me.

[ The unseelie faerie totally isn't doing this on purpose. Nope. He's a nice kitty in human skin. ]

[ Okay. She's just going to nod and go ahead and let David know that this guy's a creep. ]

Are you doing this because you're also in the monster squad now or is it just your charitable tendencies at work again?

[ Hi Liv. ]

You caught me, I'm a zombie.

[ She rolls her eyes. ] It's the right thing to do.

Really? [ He feigned surprise. ] You're the first one I've come across. Are the rest of you being secretive? [ But quickly enough his previous expression was replaced with a slight teasing smile. ] There we go. That's more in line with what I thought I'd hear. I'm starting to wonder if this place would fall right apart without you, Liv.

Absolutely. It's a secret zombie conspiracy. I think Blaine's planning on starting an underground brain business to feed the ravenous hoard. [ She's joking of course. Ha ha. That would be ridiculous. ] I'm sure it'd find a way without me, I just try to be useful while I am here.

Goodness. Do you really? I can't imagine that at all. He's far too gentle of a soul. [ It would be ridiculous, which is why he thought nothing of saying things that took the conversation even further in that direction. ] A way, true, though perhaps not as good as yours. But that's just my theory.

You've got a lot of faith in me.

If I didn't know better I'd say you sound like you think I shouldn't. Well, that or you don't like compliments. Both? [ He shrugged lightly. ] I do have faith in you, though. You've never given me a reason not to.

Just observing. All of my discoveries here haven't exactly been the warm fuzzy kind though.

Being observant is never a bad thing, but I can't help finding it a tiring habit sometimes. [ Jefferson shrugged rather lightly, but his expression was earnest. Observing was usually necessary but not always fun. ] Someone still needed to make those discoveries even if they were unpleasant. If anyone else could have made them before you did they would have. So don't sell yourself short.

Can people who...are now part of the squad donate too? Or would it not work?

I.. wouldn't recommend it. I have no idea what the effects on one type to another would be, if any. The last thing I want to do is create an eco-friendly werefairy with a craving for blood and an insatiable need to drown their victims.

[He deflates a little.]

Could something like that actually happen?

Did you think it would be possible for you to turn into a...

[ She's squinting to try to see exactly what he is. Wings and horns. Demon? She's going with generic demon term. ] Demon? The point is that this isn't exactly something we've tried before and I'm not about to make things worse on purpose. [ A brief pause before- ] Any sort of cravings you've been having? I can't make any promises, but I might be able to help. The last thing you want to do is force symptoms to worsen or progress and your body will usually tell you what you need instinctually, like how a human craves sweet things when they've got low blood sugar or water when they're thirsty thirsty.

After everything else that's happened here? [He shrugs. Knocks over a lamp with his wings. Shit.] I didn't think it was not possible.

Maybe. Something like that. But aren't you a scientist? And scientists science. Which can be...unpredictable. [He looks less like a demon now and more like a very embarrassed guy with demonic features.] There is one thing? But I was hoping it was my imagination.

Edited 2016-10-27 07:59 (UTC)

Scientists take slow steps to ensure repeated results before they accidentally hurt someone doing something they could've prevented. I'm not about to experiment on someone who could end up a lot worse than they started, especially since this stuff doesn't usually last. [ At least not while she's on a semi-reasonable brain. Hurrah grocery store employee with a tame personality and a slots addiction. As long as she goes nowhere near a casino she's golden. ] The last thing I want is to make a mistake and have someone not go back when this is over, or worse. Being stuck as a monster isn't something I would wish on anyone.

[ She already made that mistake choosing for someone else once. But why does he suddenly look like a teenage boy who just got the talk all of a sudden? Liv's mind is on food, so she doesn't quite piece it together yet. ]

Seriously, at this point? I don't think anyone's got anything to be embarrassed about.

[ Unless he was like an alp or something. Liv wasn't sure how she could help that situation. ]

I think I remember hearing something like that before. But I don't think a simple blood transfusion is going to make any of this permanent. But not all of it is bad. I mean, it is for a lot of us. Like ghosts and fairies and vampires and mermaids...I like mermaids. But we could also help people.

Yeah, that's easy to say if what you're craving is some warm blood-- [He winces.] I don't want everyone else to hear this, so I'm going to make it private. One second.

[Private to Liv]

So, uh. You're a girl. I'm sure you know a lot about...girls. And how girls and guys do stuff.

Edited 2016-10-27 08:21 (UTC)

I think it depends on what lore this whole thing is going by. Personally, most of my knowledge comes from horror movies. That said, there's also the issue that once this wears off, peoples' body could reject the blood that they consumed. I'm saying from experience, you don't give people things that haven't been tested. That's how you end up with death and memory loss and all kinds of bad side-effects.

[ But she won't go into more details than that. She's pretty sure Blaine doesn't know them and the verdict's still out on whether or not she wants him to. ]

private
[ It takes her a brief second to put together what he's trying to say, but she seems to not be remotely embarrassed as she answers for him. ] Sex. You're craving sex. [ A beat. ] Like beyond normal teenage boy levels?

Too bad there's no way to test this without putting someone at risk. [Glances down.] Bad side-effects sound good to avoid.

private
[He just looks distressed.] I wish it was normal teenage guy levels. I know how to deal with that. This is like...if I don't have sex, I feel weak. I'm not going to die or anything, but I can't do much either. I can't fly, which I actually like doing, and I feel really tired now. I thought I was just hungry, but somehow, I know it would help. And the worst part is I don't even feel anything about it, nothing romantic. It's just...like breathing or eating, and that's disappointing.

Not unless it lasts a lot longer than I'm thinking it will.

private
There's no one you want to do that with in Genessia? There's nothing wrong with having sex if it's with someone you know well enough. In some ways, for a lot of people it's a part of them. It sounds to me like whatever's going on with you, it's worse than that, but if you have someone you want to be with, there are plenty of sexual things you can do without actually having sex. That way you can... save? [ She says it like she's not sure, but kind of guessing he's a virgin. She won't bring it up though. ] Save the main act for someone you're sure about. Unless you think penetration is the only thing that's going to get you there.

I hope it doesn't. For people who have it worse.

private
It's not about what I want. It's more complicated than that. [He flinches, catching on to her hint. It's not that he's embarrassed about being a virgin, but having other people know that, particularly strangers--especially beautiful, intelligent ones--isn't something he's eager to admit. But something else she said distracts him.] There's other things besides sex? Do you mean like--

[A pause.] Like kissing.

Me too.

private
[ Liv is professional about it for sure. Though Jaune kind of reminds her of Evan ~~who Tay is pretending the deleted scenes are real for right now~~ and honestly, she misses him. She's willing to play older sister for now too. ] Kissing is one of them. Lots of kinds of touching. Do you like girls or boys or..? [ Look she can't give him ideas if she doesn't know what he's aiming for. ]

private
What, like cuddling? [He brightens. He's always thought cuddling with someone would be nice. He doesn't talk about it though, for one thing because the subject hasn't come up. He also doesn't want people to laugh at him.]

I like girls. Not all girls. But I think I just like girls.

private
Good for relationships, sure, but not exactly sexual. Typically that's more for the post-show. I was going to suggest trying something that requires a little distance, like doing it yourself in front of another person while they do it to themselves. In theory, you should be close enough to get what you need and you wouldn't have to actually give yourself up for them. Just a thought.
