post palace takeout! [week 5]

[beathollow]

( at some point a bedraggled lot in yukatas manage to make their way to the dorm, shower and patch themselves up. and then mafuyu makes a very earnest request that they all go out for dinner, and, well, apparently many struggle to refuse her.

this is how they find themselves in something akin to a denny's or an ihop at like, midnight.




as one does. )

[ The frankness that comes from this discussion... actually makes Yi Sang happy. It's one of sympathy and appreciation, as he only knows and has yet to experience this complex world of Bloodfiends.

That's gonna happen in October when the new story chapter is released! But neither here nor there. ]

Ah. I will admit, most of what we know of Bloodfiends is based on those who defy the original lineage and their grievances that lead them to leave. It is rather strict, hence the possibility of stray paths: A solitary existence away from humans, control of their populations to not run out of sustenance, as well as minimizing unneeded bloodshed. It's rather similar in the conduct to what you describe... perhaps those are what I should define as the "rules" instead. For what is what I describe as unfortunate... is perhaps just nature.

[ The next part admittedly sounds like a story told to children so that they behave... But when given an explanation by Celeste of how his kind work, and how they too can deviate from the original ideals... This would at least make sense to a vampire. ]

The nature of Bloodfiends... There was an infamous serial killer known as the Blood-red Night. She not only embraced that predator nature, but made full use of an innate ability that would bring their society to ruin... controlling blood in itself, and using it to reanimate the blood-drained corpses of her victims. She saw humans as food to sate an unnatural thirst even for Bloodfiends, and her bodycount was was made the story widespread... I wonder if an "Elder" had made contact with the City to explain such an anomaly in their kind, to prevent any possible conflict.

[ They are considered a Distortion of humanity, and the oldest known in fact. Before what caused the Distortion Phenomenon in the City. As for his feelings on it... he is actually working on expressing how he feels. ]

...Complexities seem to come with the desire to hold onto what remains of humanity. I... prefer that it's rather simplified with just the presence of one, far away from any of that right now.
