“Mightn't it be a good idea to do that before I tell him that I've got a possible solution to a problem he's not, as yet, aware of?”
-wirewrappedlily2112
Urm.
Maybe.
“Have you talked to Patrick about the formula not working?”
-wirewrappedlily2112
No, not yet.
“Hey, Pete, is everything okay?”
-wirewrappedlily2112
Something’s wrong with Trick.
He seemed to be getting better, actually getting sleep and eating and just slowly getting better, you know?
But I don’t know what happened.
“I think I found something to help you boys with the bloodlust, but you've gotta start feeding yourselves in small amounts. It's a spell to increase the ability of the food you take in to feed you. I can rework it to work with blood. That way, you can eat half as much and be just as full for just as long.”
-wirewrappedlily2112
Oh, lily, that’s awesome!
You should run that by Trick if you haven’t already.
“Tell me how it goes.”
-wirewrappedlily2112
‘Course lily
“I don't know if kicking it down is a good idea: might result in an angrier Patrick. What about the others? Any of them know how to pick a lock?”
-wirewrappedlily2112
Hrm. Yeah.
Um, Joe might.
“It's times like these when I wish I could teleport without dying once I get to where I'm going... In any case, please tell me that somewhere in your wonderfully wild past, you learned how to pick locks?”
-wirewrappedlily2112
I can’t pick locks, but I’m pretty sure I can kick down the door if he doesn’t come out soon.
“Spencer and Brendon are still alive?! Thank the gods! XP He was just talking to me a while ago, and I know that he's a little stressed. If he still won't come out in a couple of hours, and he's still conscious, I'd suggest you go in there and ask him what's wrong.”
-wirewrappedlily2112
Haha, yeah, they’re still alive. Or wait. I mean, undead.
I think Trick is more than a little stressed, lily. He’s never not let Spencer in before. Or locked the door.
“Pete, did you ever consider it was the cold turkey that was the problem? Vampires and their "donors" usually build a bond like this, and it's nigh impossible to break, and if it gets down to the point where it is breaking, it causes pain so immense that there have been people who have died from it. With the right diet, and if doing this could help him to sleep, Patrick wouldn't wither at all: he'd actually get stronger.”
-wirewrappedlily2112
Making him go cold turkey was my fault too. I’m so stupid, so, so, stupid.
But maybe…maybe you’re right.
I’ll talk to him about it when he comes out of his room. He hasn’t left it for a few hours now.
He wouldn’t even let Spencer in.
“What about Patrick? If he'd donate a safe amount of blood, then he won't get the craving to be bitten like he did, and you'd have insanely fresh blood bagged and ready to go. Andy and Joe could probably do it, too, if they'd agree to it. All you need is someone to show Patrick how to tap a vein and set up a collection apparatus. What have you two been talking about?”
-wirewrappedlily2112
It’s not that simple; he’d still get the craving. He went from being bitten a few times a week to cold turkey. Trick’s told me it’s like a constant buzz or itch at the back of his brain. how does he even sleep at night?oh wait, he doesn’t.
And I don’t want him too anyway. He needs his strength, being drained every few days would wear him down even more, even if Andy and Joe helped out. There are three vampires now in HQ, it’s not just me any more.
I don’t want to watch him wither away any more than I have too, lily. It’s hard enough being in the same room with him sometimes.
We’ve been trying to get ourselves sorted out. Like…where our relationship stands right now.
