Hello
If we have not met my name is Octavian
I am an alchemist and as always I am accepting small amounts of blood for a personal project

But that is beside the point

[Just, you know, getting it out of the way that he's always on the hunt for blood samples to save, anyway—]

The point is during our mutual excursions to maintain the integrity of this world
In the ruins I was set upon by a manner of vision
Very abrupt
not entirely welcome
In the water I experienced memories that were not my own
Something about a breed of serpentine people
Where are they
?

The recollection suggested they were not always serpents but perhaps once like us
A group brought to this place and changed
Was this previously known
and
has anyone else experienced these visions
?

Myself
As previously established during the operation I am a spectre
I plan to one day feel the sun again on my face

So with respect I do not personally care about kindly regards
I have respected every refusal
This is my limit

[ It was less a personal judgment of his own and more of an attempt to explain the assumptions. However, it gave him the clarity he was needing, so he doesn't need feel the need to say this. ]

Very well. That is good enough for me. How do you want to collect it?

[manifestering]

In a vial

[Ha ha. Japes.]

If you would prefer to draw it yourself I do not mind
Or I will do it for you

[melnik]

Very funny, but does it not matter what state it arrives in?

[ Because, look, he doesn't know the first thing about drawing blood in the clinical sense, but he does at least know that it will clot. ]

It's probably better if I just leave that to you.

[manifestering]

Oh
Refrigeration
Yes in that case it does matter
I thought it was implied
Sub-optimal blood will not work
I have tried

[melnik]

I don't know that much can be implied in this instance. But very well. Hopefully it will prove to be a fair exchange.

[ What counts as sub-optimal blood... guess he'll find out. ]

[manifestering]

Less than I imagined it seems
But thank you
At your leisure you will find me at this address

[Address ping sent! It's on the outskirts of town, not associated with any particular neighborhood.]
