Bluvian blood bank

So we posit a technocratic solution, a human-to-inhumi blood bank. Foster dependence, or codify the biological to nullify the unpleasant while accepting the unchangeable. Somehow the inhumi will work off their debt, sweat for their, er, bread, performing air-courier services and non-strength onerous labor, like, oh I dunno, childcare. ;) And a cadre of vampire police, to deter any feeding outside of the blood bank, even between consenting adults. :) Screening prospective blood donors: saints are always in hot demand (although as rare as . . . well, as saints), and so are utilitarian pragmatists. Criminals are probably forbidden. Gothic teens? A gray area :), but one that probably does not exist on Blue where vampires are undeniably real and frontier-life is too busy to support large scale art decadence. =mantis= Sirius Fiction booklets on Gene Wolfe, John Crowley 31 copies of "Snake's-hands" until OP! http://www.siriusfiction.com/

I don't see any need for technology or a bank, which is probably well beyond the capabilities of Blue.

Gosh, the first thing I should have thought of!

Already in existence (though Bluvians seem to be surprisingly careless at times), except for the consenting-adults part. But central control of anything, especially something that needs only two fangs and a wrist, is a long way off in Blue's future. Maybe in some of the more tyranically ruled individual towns you could make some kind of attempt.

As are people who satirize suggestions on mailing lists. :-)

On the other hand, the set-up could encourage immigration of Goths from Nessus, which must have them. Once we get those mirrors working. Jerry Friedman
