    jethro is considering showing up at that butcher stall later when they pour out the unsold blood and just... staring.

    it's a real thing! follow the money, solve the crime! he was thinking of trying to work for the watch, but got recruited by the palace instead.

    i haven't decided yet why he retired, i think it's more fun to leave it vague.

    erskin would make the saddest noise if he saw someone pouring a big container of blood straight down a grate. it would be sad. the saddest.

    jethro's planning to go to a different butcher without erskin, maybe go to a few different butchers in town, talk to the vamps at the chapterhouse, put together a report. i'm not sure who he'd show the report to, but he'd know. sally the watch vampire, maybe? or someone to do with the guilds.

    I think a dollar a pint is what butchers advise one another to price for vampires, so that could be pretty standard. I think also there's so far very few non-weirdo vampire allies, like Jethro, who could methodically do a bunch of research and math and bring up charges.

    As for guilds, my guess is that, whatever guild butchery falls under, the merchant's guild itself would wade in. It would want to protect vendors' right to sell anything for any price to anyone, even or especially if that meant protecting discriminatory pricing. They'd react with hostile outrage at the notion that a butcher should be forced by law to sell a pint of blood to a vampire for the same price as they'd sell to a human, when everyone knows that the vampire could be squeezed for a lot more. It sets a dangerously unprofitable precedent.

    maybe the dwarf with the rat kebabs could hawk the gross slop bucket at erskin for a very reasonable price as they're leaving? like while holding a big axe because no funnybusiness. but it'd be something and erskin would be really happy.

    yes, good. :D kefir is nice, but it's not blood, no matter how much raspberry syrup you put in it.

    i think maybe bringing a complaint is the bel way, and the jethro way is to find a butcher who will agree to undercut the others in exchange for a loyal undead clientele. :D

    edit: after all, they do throw out most of the blood. it'd be better to sell gallons at 20 cents than one or two pints at a dollar, especially since there's no overhead, you just have to set out a clean bucket when you're slaughtering the animal.

    hestia? or i seem to recall we were kicking around an idea once of some criminal types trying to extort him or rob him, which would be fun, although i'm not sure i'm up to running bel just now.

    we could set it aside for now. i'm honestly not feeling so great today. i'm enjoying the mellow rp but i'm zero effort guy at the moment and i think we've reached a point where effort is required.

    jesse i was thinking about some old convo we were having abt relative ages of our guys across universes and how eight sweeps bel would feel about captain erskin and i think it woul be really fun to play some kind of foldspace event! like where young bel finds himself aboard the sunslammer and like does his very best to be all MATURE and SERIOUS to keep up with the adults while they figure out how to send him back.

    also: obvs bel would be impressed by how hot grownup erskin and galley are, but consider him getting super extra flustered over the majesty of grownup pancho. also consider grownup pancho being like OH DAMN I CAN PUT YOU IN MY LAP >:D


    it could also be nice for alpha universe bel to see a version of erskin that isn't a fucked up, self-sabotaging dipshit. like! its actually possible!

    idk how adult commander kadros would feel about teenage fang junkie erskin, tho. that seems vaguely sad.

    then again commander kadros would probably have a better idea of what erskin can excell at and be happy with-- a packed schedule and some responsibility-- rather than young bel, who's still just guessing. its not a very intuitive conclusion, i think, since young erskin mostly just bops around being flighty and standoffish and undisciplined, totally opposite bel's sensibilities.
