Inside Blackcoat's Mansion -- Outside the Freezer

I think you should tell it over a drink.
Nice looks like he's still thinking. He turns around to start opening up the freezer. There is both a key and a simple looking mechanical pad on the freezer.
[sblock=Biggs]It looks like the same sort of set up as the door downstairs in the basement.[/sblock]
Nice finishes unlocking the freezer and pulls open the door. Beyond is a reasonably sized room, 10 feet wide and 20 long, with metal racks, sparsely decorated with bags filled with a redish black liquid. The air is cold but not freezing.
There are maybe 30 bags of blood within the room, marked "Whole Blood" and "City Blood Bank" and organized by date.
A freezer box at the far end has a padlock on it.

The Prince coming here tonight Nice?
Nice, holding the door open, shrugs.
Take 4 bags a piece. Start from the oldest and work your way forward.
[sblock=Bags]
The bags are made of thick plastic, each is marked with various medical terminology and contains two pints of blood.
Just looking at the bag and imagining drinking the blood is enough to cause a vampires' fangs to extend from their mouth.
Biting and drinking is almost reflexive.
Drinking blood in this fashion is not particularly pleasant though. You feel like you're eating crappy food. It's like having french fries from a fast food joint, after they've been sitting for an hour and the grease is cold and the fries are soggy.
Every 4 bags (8 pints) is enough to regain a single blood point. This moves
Beth to 5 blood (she is no longer
hungry) and
Biggs &
Diego to 6 vitae.[/sblock]
