I'm half vampire, if that word means anything to you. I was born with cursed blood in my veins.

[Left Hand was able to drink it without suffering, but even other Vampires couldn't tolerate D's ancient blood. D suspected it was only the fact that his left hand was part of him now that protected the parasite from his blood.]

Another Sleeper published a paper recently on rendering vileblood safe for consumption. That might make a good place to start.

[D set the notes down.]

It started to rain, so I let myself in to wait.

[Can D move around and fight in the rain? Yes. Will he do so if it's not an emergency? Not really no.]
