I don't know how you live like this. I mean, not exactly like this, but. Everything I'm used to doing I have to relearn. I break things I don't mean to, I keep feeling like everything is off-center, and... how do you do this? It's like the world is completely different and I know it didn't actually change, but it did.

It's not in that context, but - after a vampire feeds on someone you do get all the endorphins and sleepiness you'd get from sex. As far as I can tell it's a built in thing to make sure humans can be talked into thinking either nothing happened or they just got laid. Honestly it's unnerving. I'm thinking about purchasing blood from a blood bank and saying it's for 'science' instead. There's something really disconcerting about realizing how fragile people are and having them be that... vulnerable. Makes me feel creepy in all the worst ways.

If I do that it'll purely be to record your reaction and put it on YouTube, though nothing will ever get more views than your Star Spangled Man performance. Hey! [Tony claps his hands together.] There's a nickname idea! Spangles. I like it.

[Tony comes closer and breathes in, frowns and sniffs the air repeatedly.] The science of what you're saying holds up. Theoretically you should be the most appealing bite to eat ever, but even when I get closer it's just not as 'loud' as a normal person. I'm pretty sure that if you were in the right clothes and you were around vampires that weren't Ventrue or Nosferatu, you would honestly be able to pass as a vampire.

Dr. Erskine apparently saw this shit coming.
