[Daiki]

Sterile thinking doesn't apply mike, no arch your embalming example is flawed at best

Edit: it's called a blood bag daiki and only enough to let him live given what his blood does to vampires

What does his blood do to them?

I know what a blood bag is, thanks. It's just not even near enough to what he needs right now. He has so much damage that he's one step from torpor. So, he has to burn vitae in order to restore his body that AND he was already craving for blood beforehand. So lots of blood is required, hence the tank/recipient suggestion.

Which Wynn will have to show her how powerful her gender truly is.

"My dear knight, being a woman is a far grander thing than being a man."

Then again both Seelie and Unseelie courts are Matriarchal so there you have it. 

I have the strangest feeling that showing her the power of her gender will involve tentacles.

And now you ruined it, Arch.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

No arch, this is a character point, the dead remain pure, defiling the dead is wrong. As I said he can get blood elsewhere

If it's a character point it's a fucking stupid character point. It's also a hypocritcal character point - if the living and life are so important to him, letting the dead suffer an indignity so the living can keep their lives should be acceptable. To say otherwise is being a hypocritical douchebag.

Or made it better. I never specified what type of tentacles were involved.

[Aiden]

Wow, Satoshi is quite the unreasonable zealot.

[Mooncake]

So, Alice, we're going with OPOI's version, right?

[lantzblades]

Waiting on you elf.

sorry guys Satoshi can be convinced of a lot but this is something that he won't bend on, he doesn't hold being a vampire against jack that's why he could give him blood

[Cherry Lover]

Well, right now Jack needs blood urgently. Unless Satoshi has an alternative then denying him the ability to feed from Nessa's corpse is as good as killing him or, even worse, causing him to attack and feed off (probably fatally) a living person instead.

[Milbunk]

To Bloble: Though you can't offer much you'd be useful for the fact that Medea could use you as basically a pawn so that people aren't as likely to catch onto her tail and if they do get suspicious then she could give you one of those mind alarms that causes you to "take care" of said person asap. (I could of course be nice enough to leave out the killing yourself part after.)

The vampire would just be a front to help hide suspicion that she's not doing all this for free after all.

[Alice]

So, Alice, we're going with OPOI's version, right?

Yeah, I'm fine with that- especially since OPOI can't get on that often anyway, it's probably for the best.

And back to the lantz thing, I'm really not getting how Jack draining blood defiles the dead. Really, I don't. Like I think someone already mentioned, it's like saying that having organs removed for donation is defiling the dead. Why is this a defilement exactly? It's actually milder than what would happen in nature anyway, really, if this would have happened outside. Trust me, scavengers go after a dead body fast, and it's not a pretty thing to see (Forensics class! We got to see body farm videos! Somehow I got through without fainting or vomiting!).

Plus, again, living vs the dead. Better to have a corpse have bite marks on it than to have an innocent die and possibly become a mindless monster, depending on how low Jack rolls on that.

[lantzblades]

Elf already pointed out the alternative mike, it's Satoshi's blood . It makes vampires drunk effectively and gives them a lot of strength, that's why the minimum is ideal

[YOLF]

Jack is a tap to the face away from falling into torpor. No matter how strong Satoshi's blood is, he's going to need more than just a few drops.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Wow, he really is a totally unlikeable hypocrite douchebag isn't he? Seriously, the guy seems to have morals that contradict each other left and right.

Well, right now Jack needs blood urgently. Unless Satoshi has an alternative then denying him the ability to feed from Nessa's corpse is as good as killing him or, even worse, causing him to attack and feed off (probably fatally) a living person instead.

To heal fullly, he needs roughly 4 bodies worth of blood. To get at least out of the lethal damage range, he needs two. To then get to the point where he's not risking hunger frenzy, he needs another. So he roughly needs 5 bodies worth of blood to even get to a point where he's not in danger of frenzying and is fully healed.

He could feed non lethally, but then he'd need even MORE donors.

Yeah. You can have more potent vitae, but holy shit are you going to cause a hunger frenzy for him. He needs a fucking LOAD of blood no matter what way you look at it.

[lantzblades]

A litre in this case would be more than enough

[Cherry Lover]

The problem is that right now Jack needs a lot of blood. I'm sure Toshi can cope, but he's not going to be able to just keep it to a minimum.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

No, it wouldn't. It isn't even close.

Sure. I'll justify it on my end as SPOILER seeing an interesting lady flying above the city and deciding to have a chat with her.
