Hemophobia

[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.]

You could always unmake yourselves completely.

What a familiar phrase.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

But then I'd miss out on all the party games.

I never forget.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No, nothing? I'd think there is plenty you can't remember. The inability to forget would drive most insane.

On second thought, perhaps you do remember everything.

[She taps the side of her head.] It all works. [Just not in the same way as everyone else's.]

You think I'm mad.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm completely certain about it.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

But you're not frightened.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Why would insanity scare me? It's so much better than the alternative.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

It doesn't scare the people who share it. Everyone else wants to run for the hills.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's so easy to follow them there and catch them.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

Like rabbits.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

And their noses are just as twitchy, too. Ugly little creatures. I'd like to skin them all.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

You could wear their skins as a coat.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

They're regrettably not even half as useful as rabbits that way.
