Blood eating paint?

[Sumatran Rat Monkey]

Seems we've bred a whole new variety of vampire here.

"Drink it? What a waste!"

Ya know... that would explain an incident a few years ago, wherein I was hospitalized for a little over a month, was told my blood volume was uncomfortably (for the docs) low, and given five units of blood plasma- that promptly disappeared, despite no bleeding, internal or otherwise.  The doc was genuinely spooked, much to the amusement of my then-girlfriend.

...and come to think of it, I did have a small case of minis there to work on, to alleviate the boredom (I was confined to a bed the entire 5 weeks or so).

Oh hell, and they were figs I'd converted into cultists of the "Old Gods," too, come to think of it.
