From: Michael Andre-Driussi 
Subject: (urth) 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.
