I should have done this a while ago...

[Oh, look. There's Holiday again, this time with her normal clothes (orange shirt, black skirt, knee high boots, and a lab coat ~~because why not~~) on and walking around the garden.]

Well, first off, I should introduce myself more properly, I guess. My name is Doctor Rebecca Holiday and I thought I should offer my services to the Garden. I am a doctor of theory, but I also practice medicine, so if there's something that the snakes can't or won't help you with, I'll be happy to help you out in any way I can.

Also... while the cat's were accommodating, I think... I should start looking for a more permanent place to stay. Trying to find a way out was, as everyone's told me, useless.

Anyone have any selections of places to live?

My willpower. That is literally what keeps me from inverting. I have a very strong will, but there are a lot of things that can weaken a person's will. I am still half-human. I have all the physical requirements humans do.

[Akiha paused to sip her tea.]

But do to the circumstances surrounding my first inversion, I have acquired an intense craving for human blood. I'm not a vampire, doctor. I don't require it for sustenance. My bloodlust is... very taxing on my will. Think of it like a drug addiction.

I used to manage it through bagged blood. Obtaining such from the surrounding hospitals was very easy. Here... there is a lake nearby of human blood - I know it makes little sense - but I've learned where the blood comes from and I can't make myself drink it. I also have two willing donors, but they both have very potent blood and I'm unwilling to drink from them anymore.

I need to find an alternative before my will becomes too weak to resist my demon blood.

... I see...

[She refuses the two willing donors and this... lake of blood. ~~Going to have to keep an eye out for that one.~~ Rebecca can understand fully why she refuses these things, but there seems to be a necessity here.]

I'm sure that you've already tried to ween yourself off...

Did you have other alternatives in mind already? Bagged blood is an idea, but you will have to have donors for that.

[Holiday would be scared of this young woman ~~if she even is young~~, but learning all of this, she isn't anymore. This girl is smart. She wouldn't want nanite infested blood.]

[Akiha is silent for a moment, clearly mulling over what to say, how to phrase things.]

Blood... Blood is a different thing when drank cold from a bag then when drank hot directly from someone. Cold blood has what's needed to numb the bloodlust, but hot blood makes it...

[Her eyes flutter shut as her words trail off just like a person who has just tasted ambrosia might. A few seconds later and she shakes herself, opening her eyes again.]

I have an emotional attachment to both of my willing donors and I've drank directly from them. I'm afraid of what I might do to them if I continue to drink their blood. [sip] If you could collect blood from other humans - full humans - here and I return to drinking the bagged blood, I won't... I won't have to worry about getting a different kind of addiction.

[A far more dangerous one...]

[Rebecca nods, then looks into her tea for a minute, lost in thought. Find other donors that are full humans. That might be a more difficult task than what she thinks. There is some people here that think perfectly normal thing would be so surreal in her world and vice versa. What if the average human was different in every world, too?]

[After a moment, she speaks, but she is still thinking on the situation.]

I would offer my own blood to this. However, after what I called The Nanite Event that I mentioned earlier, every living thing on my planet is infected with something we call nanites. Those are what turns us into EVOs and... some end up better off than others, if you catch my drift.

We never had to worry about spreading the disease back home sine it was already in everyone, but it could spread as an STD here and I won't risk that. I'm sure you'll more than understand.

... Do you happen to have any other donors in mind? Also, if I happen to find you another donor, would you like me to explain the true situation to them or simply ask for blood in case of emergencies?

[Yes, she's willing to lie to others. She doesn't entirely like it, but it's a better idea than doing nothing and she can understand if the other woman doesn't want more people to know.]

The nanites would be poisonous to me. I'd survive, but until it worked out of my system, bad things would happen. There are a pair of cyborgs I am friends with that have also offered, but their blood is the same with nanomachines.

[Akiha set her tea down.]

I've managed to control my cravings to approximately one or two bags a month without it stressing me. [She's gone almost two months now - this is why she can't wait much longer.] I would prefer they not know where their blood is going, but if it must be said, it must be said. And I don't want to know who the blood belongs to unless I experience an adverse effect or an unusual taste in it.

The ones most likely to agree, knowing the reality, are Gal and Akira.

[Rebecca nods. Gal just offered her a place to stay, so this could be easier than she initially thought.]

How soon do you need the blood?

[If she's telling her, a newcomer, all of this, then it must be soon.]

If I go more than two weeks longer without it, I'm afraid of what I will do.

[She nods.]

And you have no emergency stores, I take it?

[Two weeks. Alright. She can do that. She already has a good lie in mind. She just wonders if it'll work... Even if just one person answers, it'll be worth it.]

No. Just the Lake.

[And she's more likely to hunt or to go to Kris or Katina before drinking from the Lake.]

[She nods again.] Alright. Hopefully we can fix that.

Perhaps I could run a small blood drive if I could find the proper equipment to do it with. It wouldn't be suspicious of a doctor to ask for blood in the case of emergencies. Though, hopefully, you'll be the only one that needs it.

[Oh, right. Her tea is starting to get cold. Holiday takes a sip of it, not wanting to waste the cup and be rude.]

You can make the equipment easily with the special dirt. Just go to the edges of the Garden, collect some of it and then reshape it into anything you can imagine.

[Akiha frowns.] I don't know how it works, but it does. Think of it as magic if nothing else.

[OHNOTTHEDIRTAGAIN]

... Someone did tell me that I can make a house out of the dirt...

She proceeded to tell me that she wasn't insane, so-...

I'm just going to have to go see this.

This mansion is made from it. I assure you, it is real.

It's just absurd and makes absolutely no sense.

[She blinks at the other woman then starts letting her eyes roam across the extravagant room that they're sitting in. She even rubs her hands across her seat.]

Wow... That's incredible.

[Right. She gets serious again, going back to the earlier topic.]

Okay. I'll just use that... dirt stuff to make a small facility. A doctor's office, if you will. It'll work for serving your purpose and many more.

I appreciate your efforts and cooperation. I'm indebted to you.

Please. It's no problem. I'm happy to help in any way I can.

Well, if there's ever anything I could do for you, let me know.
