"Don't have an eidetic memory for when I was human?" Shrug. "I don't literally catch fire if I'm left in the sun too long, not like vampire diaries, compulsion is similar but not identical I guess, true blood – doesn't vampire blood get you high? I guess that's kinda similar to human blood getting me high." Pause. "And I haven't watched Dracula."

"It's a novel."

"I am really rather certain that there have been movie adaptations, and when I said 'pop culture' I meant, more like recent ones – I thought Dracula was pretty much 'the original'." Pause. "For the record, True Blood was also a novel."

"I don't think anyone's suggested otherwise."

Sigh.

She walks over to him and pets him.

Okay then.

"– We should, uh, do something with that blood," he says, indicating the container.

"...does anything happen if you drink it?"

"I haven't tested it," he says. "Does one of you want to get sway over me first in case it does something weird?"

Recording!

Theo lets her know when he's swayed quite a lot!

Then he tries the blood.

It tastes really bad!

He stops pretty quickly. "Doesn't taste good."

"That's it? Disappointing."

"Unless something else happens if I continue to drink it while it tastes disgusting, yeah, that seems to be it."

"...I kinda want to try drinking it. You know, now that I don't have any injuries."

"Go ahead," he shrugs.

Quick pause for the 'am I bitey' alarm.

She takes a few sips! Absolutely nothing interesting happens, at least immediately.

(Annoying alarm.)

Thrilling.

She deletes the recording.

"Were there any more experiments? That aren't just getting more information from stuff we already know about."

"Test how my blood reacts to the environment? As in, see if it congeals, see if it needs to be stored in a fridge, that sort of thing?"

"How long does human blood typically take to congeal?"

He looks it up! "'Coagulation typically occurs in about fifteen minutes'," he reports.

"And how about in cold environments?"
