1 have a 1ot of exper1ence w1th ra1nbowdr1nker syndrome, and depend1ng on the 1ocat1on, 1 f1nd that b1ood bags are qu1te good for var1ety, 1 recommend mak1ng fr1ends w1th a med1cu11er 1f you have the opportun1ty. Those who work 1n tortur1ng or who are f1rst responders often have qu1te a few on hand, and at the rate most dr1nkers 1 have exper1nce w1th consume b1ood, one b1g feed1ng every w1pe or so, or many sma11 feed1ngs 1f you prefer your dormancy hab1ts, are perfect1y easy to 1ose 1n a 1edger or nutcr1ttered away 1nto some other event's b1ood cost. 1t 1s abso1ute1y one of the b1o1og1ca11y safest sources of b1ood, espec1a11y 1f you keep to the m1dd1e coo1 hues, or 1f you 11ve 1n a reg1on w1th a h1gh standard for 1owb1ood hea1th. There are a 1ot of p1aces 1've been wh1ch do not take due process on warm hue b1ood screen1ngs e1ther out of ma11ce or 1ax restr1ct1ons.
Add1t1ona11y, you can try to subst1tute some k1nds of 1usus b1ood, but you need to be carefu1 as not a11 k1nds can be stomached by a11 dr1nkers. There 1s a1so a r1sk of b1ood borne d1sease. Very few b1oodborne d1seases can surv1ve a ra1nbowdr1nker's ac1d1fy1ng chamber, but that evo1ut1onary tra1t 1s ta11ored to tro11 1mmune systems, 1usus d1seases are a d1fferent beast ent1re1y so the r1sk 1s very rea1. When 1t comes to f1avor and the way 1t s1ts 1n the gut, genera11y 1 f1nd the 1east revo1t1ng to be, 1nterest1ng1y, fuzzed tuberrodents or gun1ea p1gs, exp1o1ted f11th beasts or domest1cated p1gs, and-- baff11ng1y-- batter1es. To c1ar1fy 1 do not mean the s1ur for go1db1oods, 1 mean actua1 wetware battery b1ood. The k1nd used 1n wetware power arrays or 1n husktops. 1 d1scovered th1s on a dare, 1f you expend a11 of 1ts charge, 1t can be drunk eas11y, you have to be carefu1 though, 1t can shock you qu1te bad 1f you b1te 1nto any of 1ts ps1onogen1c t1ssue, even when dep1eated. A11 of these, though, st111 w111 upset your ac1d tract, even 1f you are typ1ca11y qu1te hardy.
1 abso1ute1y encourage the fr1end or quad approach, though. 1t 1s best to ensure that you have food, water, and an a1d k1t nearby for your compan1on, w1th1n 11mb's reach, and a th1rd person on prong 1f your fr1end 1s sma11er than you or 1f you get 1ncapac1tat1ng feed1ng fog. 1ts a1so 1mportant to cons1der f1u1d 1eve1s for your buddy's food. Soups and exerc1se dr1nks a1ong w1th someth1ng rea11y substant1al are the way to go. 1t 1s a1so abso1ute1y 1mperat1ve that you fo11ow a more than w1pe1y feed1ng schedu1e. 1t can be hard to feed when you aren't hungry for 1ots of dr1nkers, but for sma11er tro11s, gett1ng dra1ned of a fu11 serv1ng can be more than enough to k111. 1f you have awfu1 feed1ng fog, get the b1ggest fr1end you have, have a second on hand, and prepare a good mea1 for them too.
As a s1de note, 1f your b1ood buddy 1s your mo1ra11, 1t can doub1e as a... k1nd of super freaky pa1edate. 11eheh. The who1e care aspect of 1t can get qu1te obscene to be frank, espec1a11y w1th the... 1ets be honest, forep1ay of mak1ng your b1ood buddy a mea1, fo11owed up by the... second mea1. 1 m1ght need to tag th1s post as mature 1f 1 keep ta1k1ng about 1t-- 1t doesn't have to be pa1e, 1t does take some concentrated effort to keep 1t p1aton1c though, espec1a11y 1f you don't feed often.
