video; un: viktor

[mehanizovati]

[the video starts near one of the blood blisters, though by 'near' it's clear the video taker has no particular interest in getting close enough to be in a potential splash zone. the video itself is more focused on the pair of blood hounds gathered around it.

when a voice speaks it's with a heavy czech accent and only after scratching that sounds like he's writing something.] I suppose it is customary to make greetings here, as a new arrival, so hello. I am Viktor.

[he clears his throat like he's glad that's over with, onto what he apparently really wants to talk about. the video pans down to a pale finger tapping his notebook, one page blurred and off the the side with what looks like confused formulas trying to figure out how the hell an omni works in his frame of knowledge, the others with notes on the bloodhounds.

one noticeable feature to people without paleblood is he keeps drawing/referencing mushrooms on the beasts, which clearly aren't there.] I've been curious about this fungal growth, especially as I've noticed it on more than just the eh... stag dogs.

That... is fascinating. Troubling, but fascinating. Do you know if the other blood types can make similar jewels?

I am tempted to delve more into the magic myself but what little I have learned of blood pollution makes it seem treacherous for more than just my own health.

[He frowns in thought.]

Perhaps coldblood? I believe it can act not unlike ice.

[mehanizovati]

That sounds less morally questionable at least. [a moment of hesitance and he asks] Are you aware of how any of this bloodtyping affects sleepers with preexisting illnesses?

[morningstud]

[Another frown.]

...Well... I imagine that would still affect you, but you'd be stronger than your average mortal now. There are likely ways to enhance weapons in your favor, for instance. Against the monsters of this world.

[mehanizovati]

I suppose how that affects terminal illness will be interesting. That is... promising at least, thank you.

[morningstud]

I hadn't thought of that before.

It sounds like it could be quite dreadful... but perhaps some sort of magic would help ease symptoms for that, too.

I do hope I was able to ease your worries about the magic here.

[mehanizovati]

Hm, you did, thank you. I never caught your name?

At the very least it seems healing in this world is novel and may offer new routes. It will be useful to see, I have been speaking with some others and would very much like to research this business of turning to a beast and how it can potentially be cured.

[morningstud]

Lucifer Morningstar. It's a pleasure, Viktor. Despite our horrid circumstances.

I believe firmly that there are ways for us to pacify such beasts with the magic at our disposal.

[It's not exactly the same thing as curing it, of course, but at least they're on the same page.]
