Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya!
Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them. This includes the Q&A section!
Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled! These unfilled profiles will not be posted live.
Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

I suppose I would understand if you were. I would guess that alternative sources can be risky. May I ask what the alternative sources have been? And have they been providing them readily for you thus far? I do hope they haven’t forcibly recruited you here only to not be able to provide.

[What can he say? Loki’s never met a vampire before and he's curious.]

Aurora and Echo can provide me a supposedly ethically-sourced supply at the hospital if I'm interested. I can still create artificial plasma and there's always deer too. The problem is that they all hinge on if I can still access any of those during certain missions

Ah yes, I can see how that would be rather difficult. May I ask, do you need to kill a living being to feed from it? Or could you just take some of what you need and let them be? In which case, is it possible to have volunteers to help you on missions?

If I can space out the feedings correctly and have more than one source, it’s possible. The catch would be to drain less than what a full meal would be. A full meal would involve killing

Would I be correct in assuming that your ideal full meal is based on an average human then? Have you ever tried non-human blood? If so, is it different?

Yes. An ideal full meal is based on an average human. I've tried blood from other mammals before as alternates, mostly rodents and deer. They somewhat help cover my basic nutritional needs but I'm not sated for as long compared to human blood.

So then it is not just the amount of blood, the kind as well? I can see a rodent not being enough due to size, but deer can be quite large. Certainly larger than the average human.

And what of non-humans? Have you ever sampled them before?

No. The opportunity has never come up. I'm not sure what the consequences would be from that but presumably it depends on the type of non-human

Edited 2025-07-09 01:14 (UTC)

Yes I suppose there are all sorts of different things that could happen depending on the blood and maybe even the abilities of the non-human?

Hypothetically then, if a non-human were to offer themselves up, you would want to try it?

It depends on the non-human, but yes. I would be willing to try.

Why?

[Kirk has a feeling where this conversation is about to go]

I see. I suppose I am simply curious what would happen if you say, tried some of my blood? I heal rather quickly so I have to think it might be something that could help you.

[Though Loki also wonders what some of his friends might think of this offer. He knows the reputation of vampires and he doesn't want anyone to worry. But that doesn't mean he's not interested in seeing what happens.]

What are you?

[Kirk sees that username but he still has to ask just in case]

I am Jotun. What many refer to as a frost giant. Though I am rather short for my kind.

I’ve never met one before. I’d like to try and analyze your blood if you don’t mind

I do not mind at all. What does this require? How much of my blood do you need for testing? Do you have all the equipment necessary?

Fortunately my lab is here. I'd like us to talk in person if you don't mind.

[Besides Loki's blood, Kirk is curious as a scientist about what a frost giant means]

I do not mind at all. When are you free?

Anytime is fine.
