Yes, please! If I get to writing a song about her I'd like it to be as accurate as possible.

Exactly. And Jimmy is a pretty good contact when it comes to getting weirder things.

[noreasonneeded]

I actually did find her by the harbor. She didn't belong to any of the ships that were docked, but it's possible at one point she'd been a ship cat, or the descendant of one of the many strays in that area. With all the shipping crates and market vendors, it's a smart place to find some food to eat. The vet said she's about two years old.

What other weird things is he a good man to know for getting?

[acaseofyou]

She is pretty smart, isn't she? Making it out there for that long, on a ship or just in the harbor, is very impressive.

Other than illicit blood? He's a ghoul, so he usually runs other Kindred-related deals. Blood bags in general are one thing, but from what I've heard he can get really specific about the type and the mood even. Sometimes, depending on what it is, he'll deal in artifacts, but nothing major. Little magicked things, mostly.

[noreasonneeded]

She is a little survivor. Which makes her fit right in this city.

Blood has a mood? As in the mood of the donor when having it drawn?

[acaseofyou]

Fits in even better in the Slat. I'm sure on some level she might realize that, given how taken she is with you.

Yeah! That's a lot of what I did before, when I was wandering around. Getting the mood right for other Kindred. Some of them are limited on what kinds of blood they can keep down, so I'd do what I could to make sure they'd have something they could use at the end of the night.

[noreasonneeded]

I just have a tall shoulder for her to sit on.

Interesting. I knew there are different types of blood of course, but the mood aspect is new. What does my mood say about my blood?

[acaseofyou]

Don't do yourself a disservice. The power of your higher vantage point is just an extra perk.

Concern, mostly, from the one time I've had it. Kind of hard to describe. It's not like a taste or a flavor or anything, more like... A resonance. Feels how you are in the moment.

[noreasonneeded]

It makes up for no longer fitting into small spaces.

Makes sense, and also, I feel confident then I don't give off good eating vibes in general. Might want to let Jesper know though he's a happy go lucky snack buffet.

[acaseofyou]

You think she can't still squish herself into small spaces? I found her the other night wedged into one of my record boxes, happy as anything in the three inches between the box and the rest of the records.

I'll be sure to let him know he's up next on snack rounds. Your vibes don't make you unappealing, though. At least not to me.

[noreasonneeded]

No, no I meant me now providing her with a tall pillar to perch upon makes up for me no longer fitting into small spaces. I'm a little too tall to crouch into where I once could.

No? I thought being intense might be akin to... gristle. I don't know. Good to hear it's not.

[acaseofyou]

Ah, that does make more sense. We can't all have liquid bones like cats.

No gristle at all. Honestly the intensity is pretty nice, but I won't make a habit of indulging in it.

[noreasonneeded]

Cats are like that, and ferrets. I definitely don't, and I'm sure there's a joke about me being inflexible in there that I appreciate you avoiding.

Also appreciated, I work hard to make myself more caffeine than water. Frequent donations might upset that balance.

[acaseofyou]

I wouldn't say inflexible. More like sturdy.

Can't have that, can we? You might end up taking a nap and then what will we do?

[noreasonneeded]

I'm gonna use that the next time someone calls me stubborn or pig-headed.

Nothing productive, and we can't have that, no.

[acaseofyou]

You should, it's much more accurate.

Absolutely not. It'd be dark times, chaos in the streets. Well, more chaos than usual.

[noreasonneeded]

There are definitely different sorts of chaos, some more beneficial than others. The chaos one sets off one's self is usually the easiest to manage, although I've seen it get away from people, too.

[acaseofyou]

Yeah, that can happen pretty easy in my experience. Some balls can't be unrolled once they get on their way.

[noreasonneeded]

I've had situations come close, but thankfully, managed to get back on track. You?

[acaseofyou]

Well, I've told you about the time with 'You're So Vain' right? Only thing that's come close to being as bad as that was Denver, and Denver was more a controlled chaos.

[noreasonneeded]

Fair. And you did, yes. That's one song I've wondered about the origins of, given how pointed it could be. It would be funny though if it wasn't about anyone in particular and they just knew people would be able to use it as such.

[acaseofyou]

Right? Though I figure the fallout if we do find out who it was would be about as devastating to whoever he is as when people figured out that Alanis song was about the guy from the kid show.

[noreasonneeded]

I entirely blame cultural osmosis for why I know exactly what you're talking about, including the guy from the kids show I never even saw.

[acaseofyou]

I never saw it, either! Outside like, a clip someone showed me once where he had a weird puppet. So now every time I hear that song I'm imagining a dude with a weird puppet having sex at the movies. Really unfortunate.

[noreasonneeded]

What's the saying, the heart wants what the heart wants, no matter how stupid it is?

[noreasonneeded]

Getting an idea in my head and refusing to let it go has served me well a lot of times. I will admit it has also possibly made me infuriating at other times, too.

I'm just glad I get the choice to sleep or not most of the time. I have to eventually, but it's not a vampire situation where it has to happen each day.
