Red-Court Infected, the hunger, and donated blood

(1/3) > >>

Diebdazar:
We know that the normal red-court banes can help limit the hunger, and the resulting chance of the infected turning.

But what about sating themselves with donated blood?

There seems to be two ways of going about it:

1) it's like having a nice meal, it will help sate you, for a time.

2) it's like getting a hit for an addiction, it may sate you, but you need more the next time.  Completely avoiding is the safer path.


For number 1 the support is the fact that fully turned vampires don't have to get more and more blood each time, long as they have their fill they're fine.

Number 2 has Bianca (maybe) and freshly turned, amnesiac, Susan (maybe).  Could just be the 'only had one bite of the meal' type of thing.

Have a character who is thinking of playing an infected so trying to decide for that.

Of course, getting a supply could be tricky in of itself. . . Unless the red court taps into the bloodbanks without feeding directly all the time. . . maybe :P

This is actually something I have wondered about. I don't remember hearing Susan talk about food (or eat anything) while she was in Chicago in Blood Rites. I have been wondering if maybe the "turned" but not vampires might be drinking some donated blood just to keep themselves under control.

Darkhallow:
i thought that any semi-turned red court vampire, such as susan, had to avoid drinking any blood, because doing that automatically turned you into a full fleged red court vampire. therefore a half turned red court vampire cant sate their thist with blood because dong that turns them into a vampire.

This is my understanding as well. Also we have not seen any indication that old blood (like from a blood bank) will work. It may need to be from the source.

I thought they had to kill someone to become a full fledged red court vampire. Must go back to my books and read up a bit more. Does it ever mention what the Black Court vampires feed off? Was it death?
