i havvent seen anyone wwho calls himself that at all
wwhat do you need him for anywways

He Was Assisting Me In A Scientific Investigation Of The Properties Of My Condition
As Well As Providing Me With

He Was Helping Me With A Personal Matter As Well

NO CLUE WHO THAT IS, BUT CHECK THE CONTACT LIST.
IF HE'S NOT ON IT HE'S NOT IN THE BUBBLE ANYMORE
OTHERWISE HE MIGHT BE COMATOSE, UNLESS SOMETHING ELSE IS UP.

Oh
It Seems He Is Not Longer Listed
This Is Unexpected
And A Bit Concerning

THEN HE'S BACK IN HIS WORLD
WHICH APPARENTLY ISN'T WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, SO ALLOW ME TO SET ASIDE THE TYPICAL ATTITUDE TO OFFER CONDOLENCES
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THAT POSITION AND IT SUCKS.
YOU SAID THE ISSUE WAS "URGENT" THOUGH
WHAT IS IT?

Thank You For Your Condolences But The Situation Is More Of An Inconvenience
We Had Something Akin To A Business Relationship

He Was Providing Me Aid For My Condition
Specifically Packaged Blood
Though He Was Also Assisting Me In Investigating The Conditions Of This Affliction
I Missed Our Last Arranged Meeting So I Am A Little Overdue

DAMN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ALL YOUR RAINBOW DRINKER BUSINESS WORKS BUT I'M NOT SO MISINFORMED THAT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THAT PART'S NECESSARY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ARRANGEMENT FOR THAT
OR SOMEWHERE YOU COULD GO OR SOMETHING?

No Not Really
The Preserved Blood Wasnt Entirely Sufficient Anyway
But It Reduced How Often I Needed True Sustenance
Sunlight And The Coral Both Help As Well But Eventually It Seems That I Need To Feed
The Medic Allowed Me To Drink His Own Blood Before And It Seemed Like That Would Become A Part Of Our Arrangement
Except The Last Few Times I Started To Feel The Hunger Accidental Circumstances Provided A Means
I Would Rather Not Rely On Chance
And I Tend To
I Dont Really Think Straight When I Get Hungry

[No need to go into detail on the growing list of living persons she's fed off of so far, right? Or how three of them are here in the bubble... And certainly no need to explain in any further depth just what she means by "Dont Really Think Straight". Nope. ]

I'M NOT GOING TO FUSS OVER THE FULL DETAILS BECAUSE I'M NOT YOUR MOIRAIL
BUT I WILL SAY AS A FRIEND AND YOUR LEADER THAT YOU NEED TO SORT THAT SHIT OUT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU "Dont Really Think Straight" WHEN HUNGRY.
JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A MOBILE WELL DRESSED NIGHTLIGHT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T BE DANGEROUS AS A THRESHER EVEN IN YOUR RIGHT MIND.
THERE ARE PROBABLY OTHER DOCTORS HERE WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU SORT THINGS OUT
OR EVEN OTHER BLOOD DRINKERS BUT FOR ALL OUR COLLECTIVE SAKES PLEASE ASSOCIATE WITH THE SANE ONES
AND YOU COULD PROBABLY FIND PEOPLE WILLING TO LET YOU ER
FEED ON THEM
WHEN NECESSARY.
SHOULD I EVEN ASK HOW HUNGRY YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?

I Did Not Know There Were Others With My Dietary Needs Here
If You Know Any Of Them That Might Be A Worthwhile Avenue Of Investigation
And Prudence Suggests That It Would Be Wise Of You To Inquire As To My Status
Prudence Is The Name I Gave The Voice That Appears In My Head When I Am Hungry

NO, I DON'T.
THE ONLY ONE I EVER MET WAS RIDICULOUSLY OVERPOWERED AND APPARENTLY COULDN'T HANDLE A LITTLE TROLLING
AND FROM THAT I LEARNED NOT TO MOCK FREAKY AS HELL EARTH BLOODSUCKERS
THUS THE EXHORTATION TO STICK TO THE SANE ONES.
THAT ONE THANKFULLY VANISHED OUT OF VATHEON NOT ALL THAT LONG AFTER I SHOWED UP, BUT FOR ALL I KNOW THERE MIGHT BE OTHERS AROUND.
I DON'T EXACTLY KEEP TRACK OF EVERYONE IN THIS CITY AND WHAT SPECIES THEY ARE.
I AT LEAST KNOW THAT GLOWING IS NOT A REQUISITE FACTOR, SO DON'T GO BASING IT OFF OF THAT.
BUT GIVEN YOUR PHRASING, I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT AS A YES, YOU'RE HUNGRY
AND FURTHERMORE HOPE THAT YOU AREN'T BEING LITERAL ABOUT THE HEAD VOICE BUSINESS.
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW OR NO?

No I Am Not Actually Being Serious About Voices
I Was Just Trying To Make A Joke
You Are Right
Im A Bit Behind On My Meetings With The Medic So I Am Starting To Get Hungry
But I Do Not Believe It Has Started To Affect My Behavior
Im Still Not Very Used To This But I Dont Think It Will Be An Issue For Another Day Or So
If I Need To I Suppose I Could Ask Someone For A Donation But I Think I Will Try To Ask For Help From Medical Professionals First
Someone Else Has Contacted Me About The Medics Disappearance And Says That They Worked With Him In A Clinic

CONSIDERING YOU'RE AN UNDEAD BLOOD SUCKING LIGHT BULB OF A TROLL, AND TWO OF MY FRIENDS HAVE HEARD VOICES IN THEIR HEADS BEFORE
I DON'T KNOW IF ARADIA STILL DOES OR NOT
IT IS A PERFECTLY VALID LINE OF INQUIRY AND ALSO A HARD JOKE TO GET ACROSS.
THERE IS A CLINIC HERE, YES, BUT I DON'T REALLY TRUST IT
I DID BEFORE, BUT THAT'S BEFORE THE GUY IN CHARGE GOT SHUFFLED OUT AND REPLACED WITH THE NEW HEAD NURSE.
WERE YOU HERE FOR THE APRIL FOOL'S PRANK?
LONG STORY SHORT, THEY PULLED A MURDER SCENE IN THE PLAZA AS SOME KIND OF "JOKE" ON ALL OF US
AND I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPRESS THE LEVEL OF WARPED SANITY THAT WOULD REQUIRE WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY NEIGHBORS' AURICULAR SPONGE CLOTS
WHICH IN FACT IS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THAT IT WAS A PRANK IN THE FIRST PLACE.
ASK FEFERI IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.

I Was Present Shortly After The Body Was Found In The Plaza
That Is Where I Met The Medic And He Discovered My Condition
I
Please Note That I Would Appreciate It If You Kept This In Confidence
I Was Tasting The Blood There
He Helped Me Discover Then That One Of The Problems With This Condition When I Have Been Without Sustenance For A While Is That I Exhibit Poor Self Control When Presented With A Source Of Blood
The Longer I Go The Worse It Gets
His Packaged Blood Helps Somewhat But Eventually It Is Not Enough
I Believe At This Moment Though I Am Fully In Control Of Myself
I Would Rather Not Feed On A Living Person If I Could Help It
The Medic Was Willing To Let Me Drink His Blood In Return For Some Help In His Research

I AM GOING TO SAY ONE THING IN PARTICULAR TO THAT:
EW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WITH THE ADDITIONAL LEADERLY MANDATE THAT YOU KEEP IT TO YOURSELF IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, BECAUSE SERIOUSLY, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
TRUST ME THAT I WON'T BE TELLING ANYONE EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T ASK ME NOT TO.
GOOD LUCK ON FINDING ANOTHER SOURCE OF THE PACKAGED KIND
BUT IF IT EVER DOES GET TO THE POINT THAT YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO FEED AND LIKE
DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS
I GUESS I COULD HELP?
AS A LAST RESORT MEASURE AND SO LONG AS YOU A) DON'T FEED FROM THE NECK, AND B) LET ME KEEP MY EYES CLOSED DURING.
BECAUSE I'M NOT JUST GOING TO LET MY FRIEND LOSE HER SENSES FROM UNCHECKED BLOODTHIRST.

I Will Honor Your Request To Be Left Out Of Future Notices Regarding My Diet
And Thank You For The Offer Karkat
It Really Does Mean A Lot To Me
The Whole Business Is Awkward Enough For Me And Knowing That You Are Willing To Consent To That If It Becomes A Stark Necessity
Well
That Lays To Rest Some Of My Fears
I Have Not Gone On Any Sort Of Bloodlust Fueled Rampage Yet But Ive Been Afraid That Sort Of Thing Might Be The Eventual Result If I Go Long Enough Without Feeding

I DON'T WANT TO BE THE KIND OF IDIOT THAT ALLOWS A SHITSTORM TO HAPPEN VIA HIS OWN DEFICIENT CONCERN FOR SHIT THAT'S IMPORTANT.
PAST ME HAS DONE THAT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT LESSON SO WELL I COULD SCHOOLFEED THE MASSES ON IT.
BEYOND AN OFFER, CONSIDER IT AN ORDER
IF YOU GET THAT HUNGRY AND SERIOUSLY HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN, *TELL ME*.
I REFUSE TO LET YOU GO BERSERK ON SOME INNOCENT BYSTANDER BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ASK ME SOON ENOUGH
WHICH IS MAYBE NOT THE KINDEST PHRASING BUT I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH DEATHS WITHOUT ADDING TO THE PILE OF WHAT COULD BE STOPPED BY SUFFICIENT PREVENTATIVE MEASURES.

Once Again You Provide Excellent Examples Of Just Why You Are Our Leader
Not That It Really Needs To Be An Order
I Would Do Nearly Anything To Avoid That Particular Outcome
The Few Times I Have Fed Without Consent Have Made Me Feel Bad Enough Already
Even With The Victims Forgiveness
I Dont Want To Become A Monster

...
I JUST DON'T EVEN WANT TO TAKE THE RISK
FOR THE SAKE OF YOU, ME, AND ANYONE ELSE CONCEIVABLY INVOLVED.

I Dont Either
Thank You Again
If I Cant Figure Something Out Today Or Tomorrow Ill Let You Know
Actually Ill Keep You Appraised Either Way
Just To Reiterate
Thank You Karkat

YOU SAID THAT TWICE IN THAT MESSAGE ALONE, KANAYA
BUT YOU'RE WELCOME.
LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE MY FRIEND, AND IT'S FOR GENERAL SAFETY CONCERNS FOR MULTIPLE PARTIES.
I'LL BE WAITING FOR THAT MESSAGE.

I think he went back to his world.

We worked together in the clinic and I haven't seen him for a long time.

That Seems To Be The Case
He Is No Longer Listed On The Contact Registry
I Suppose These Things Do Happen

Were you friends with him?

No
Our Relationship Was Strictly Professional
He Was Helping Me With A Personal Matter

That would be lovely, Kanaya. Where is it located? As for Medic, a friend confirmed that he has left the city. Were you close?

Not Really
To Be Honest He Frightened Me A Little
But We Did Have A Business Arrangement Of Mutual Benefit
My Shop Is In The Middle District
Northeast Of The Plaza

[SENDING FILE: "X Marks The Spot.Png"]

I will be over shortly.

Why?

[Kanaya types for just a moment, before stopping and setting up the private filters. She doesn't feel the need to be secretive about this from her. If anything, Vriska should be allowed to know what's going on. She's still filled with trepidation though. They haven't really talked since that party...]

He Was Providing Me With Packaged Blood To Help With My Cravings
As I Learned At That Ship Party The Packaged Blood Reduced My Hunger But Is Eventually Insufficient To Satiate My Needs
He Had Offered To Let Me Drink His Blood In Return For Assistance With His Research But Now It Seems That Is No Longer An Option
I Would Like To Talk With You Soon
About The Party
And This Condition
But I Think I Would Like To Have Taken Care Of This Hunger Thing First
I Cant Control Myself When I Get To Hungry
And For Some Reason I Think Its Worse When Im Around You Serket

What kind of research was it?
It wasn't something weird, was it?
He 8etter not have fucking 8een weird with you, Kan.

What
Really?

Heeeeeeeey I guess I can't help it if I'm irresista8le, hahahahahahahaha!

It Did Seem Very Odd
He Frightened Me At Some Points With What He Was Suggesting But I Didnt Really Have Much Of A Choice

[Kanaya can't help it. It's the truth, of course, but still rather misleading. It's just that Vriska is so adorable as she's getting all defensive.]

What was he suggesting????????

If The Bottled Blood Didnt Work Out
And It Obviously Wasnt
Then He Would Let Me Feed From His Own Living Blood
In Return I Would Help Him With His Experiments
Though He Was Not Entirely Forthcoming As To Exactly What His Experiments Would Entail
And His Methods Seemed Less Than Professional

Have you tried human 8lood yet?
I 8et it's pretty nasty.

Well whatever, at least he's gone now.
You won't have to depend on some cr8zy human for survival.
Isn't that gr8t?

Actually I Have
Though It Was Dead At The Time
I Dont Know Where The Doctor Was Getting Blood For Me And It Seemed Best To Not Ask About That
And I Did Taste His Blood Once
It Was Not Unpleasant But Still Odd

I Suppose Im Glad That I Dont Have To Worry About The Nature Of His Research Or The Possible Side Effects
Though I Feel Like My Cloth Canopy Based Rapid Descent Abatement Device Has Been Taken From Me And I Dont Have A Spare
