Hemophobia

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[Blood.]

[Dripping down every door in the onsen.]

[Human blood, rich and fresh, slipping to the floors, slowly, then disappearing into nothing. The flow goes on like a wound that will not clot. And of course, there is the smell.]

[It's perfectly real, perfectly nutritious for those with a sanguine diet. Some of it is the night-and-starlight blood of those who have died on the Plane.]

[And it just won't seem to wash off.]

[ooc; What? He was bored, and he figures that the vampires are probably a bit hungry. As Scarecrow isn't going to own up to What He Does When Given Shiny Rings, feel free to use this as an event post. That is, other characters are encouraged to comment to each other, because Dr Crane won't be responding to everyone about it. This effect will last until the end of the plot.]

[he has some idea who would be behind something like this.]

It's been some time since I've seen you make a mess of this magnitude.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, Dr Arkham. Has the blood gotten to your head?

[measureslunacy.livejournal.com]

Of course not, Jonathan.

This does remind me, when we return you will be due for another checkup. An internist from Gotham General will be visiting for an update on your recovery from your incident earlier this year.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

An internist? That will make a good pun.

[yes, he IS thinking of ways of killing that doctor, why do you ask?]

[measureslunacy.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, you will more likely than not be unaware of Dr. Carlisle's visit. After some stories from previous doctors he is somewhat jittery.

[there is a small amount of distaste there. People are wimps]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with a little healthy fear. I'm sure I could help him with it.

[measureslunacy.livejournal.com]

A very generous offer, I'm sure, but I assume Dr. Carlisle will pass up your offer.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

How does the line-up for new psychiatrists look, by the way?

[measureslunacy.livejournal.com]

As promising as any new crop of young doctors can be.

[which is to say, not very, really. There are a couple who look to show potential...the rest, well the office pools give them three months, and that's being generous]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Ohh, they're all young.

[He is considering getting rid of his. She's boring him.]

[measureslunacy.livejournal.com]

We were all young, at one time or another, even you Jonathan.

[wait another week, then Jerry totally wins for that one...although it is a hollow victory, all things considered.]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Nonsense. I've been this old since the autumn of 1941.

[Maybe he'll check out the new blood first to decide if he wants to get rid of his current one]

[measureslunacy.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Besides, we must keep our vampires fed, and your newest patient requires blood that bleeds glitter.
