What is it with so much vampire fiction that when somebody becomes a reluctant vampire, they immediately become distraught and apprehensive about the fact that they need to drink blood to survive? I mean, if it's because you no longer feel human or something, that's a philosophical and emotional quandary that I can't help you with, but the reason always seems to be 'I don't want to hurt somebody when I bite them!'

I mean, okay yeah, that's true but what about, oh I don't know, going to a hospital?! Or a blood bank? Or a research lab? Or someplace that you can get those little packets full of blood? At the very least it shouldn't be too terribly hard to somehow get your hands on the proper equipment to draw blood and then have some friends of yours donate a little for you when you need it. And then you'd even be able to get it warm, and WITHOUT the risk of making them into a thrall or another vampire or accidentally draining too much and killing them. And that's assuming that you can't feed off animals!

I mean, this isn't too terribly hard to put together, dude. We can work this out!
