[The voice that comes over the device isn't nearly as confident, or steady, as it usually is. As much as she loves a good fight, a certain dietary lack is finally taking its toll along with all the spent energy.]

So as much as I enjoy the...options available via the Underground I'm in need of something a bit more...reliable.

[Cleaner, safer, trustworthy...

There's a long pause as she tries to convince herself this really isn't that hard or dangerous since she's not at home and no one here has ever heard of a Lesser other than from her.]

Shit.

I'm in need of a volunteer blood donor of a particular type.

[And another pause.]

Vampire.

Male.

[And with that she's disconnecting from the network because that was the most pathetic point in her life.]

What type of vampire? The City teems with so many, it's practically a buffet.

Private

[nosympathy]

So I'm learning.

Considering I'm not dead or undead, best bet for a match is someone else that fits the line.

Private

[worldofourown]

Well, I'm undead by the City's standards, but I was as alive as anything else back home. However I'm not certain I'd fall in the category of vampire.

Are you seeking the types who are born that way? Or made?

Private

[nosympathy]

Born. Not that I'm even sure we'll compatible being from different worlds.

Private

[worldofourown]

Oh.

I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help at all. [ A brief eyeroll. ] I only know one Pureblood in the City. [ And in Karl's experience, he wouldn't spit on you if your hair was on fire. ]

Private

[nosympathy]

[She can't help genetics (can hate half of them, but neither side is her fault).]

Pureblood?

[That doesn't sound promising at all, more like something the Glymera would proclaim for themselves. Except for the whole already looking down on and locking up people like her.]

Private

[worldofourown]

[ You never can pick your parents. Or Queen. Or Queen's Sister. But details. ]

It's some sort of aristocracy .... shtick. But it might be true, for all I can determine; Lord Rido does have a certain aura. A presence, as they'd say in theater.

[ Although that overpowering cloud of arrogance is enough to send you reeling. ]

Private

[nosympathy]

[Well isn't that news just...fuck.]

And unlikely to help out if asked or needed.

[Most of the aristocracy (from either side) she's dealt with in the past prove they're not worth their money. And definitely not the kind to help their own let alone some nameless half-breed.]

Private

[worldofourown]

[ He shrugs, half fatalistic, half lackadaisical. ]

Well, you know how it goes. Desperation and begging are diseases no one likes to catch. The rich and privileged, least of all.

Private

[nosympathy]

True. Although they don't usually mind demanding it when they think they need it.

[Weak body and minded idiots from her experience.]

Private

[worldofourown]

They say the exception proves the rule. And they regard themselves as exceptions to any and all rules. A fault of social programming, really.

[ World's full of them, Xhex. ]

Private

[nosympathy]

Until they learn otherwise.

[Kind of fun to watch them shake and cry when the situation is reversed.]

Private

[worldofourown]

Do I detect a note of bitterness?

[ Watching anyone shake and cry is fun. ]

Private

[nosympathy]

Not at all. Just experience.

[She saves it for those who deserve it.]
