"ATTENTION DINERS
For those of you on a blood-based diet, please observe a few rules.
* If you want to snack on someone, it has to be consensual. We're using the honor system. Also, show some delicacy and make it a painless experience.
* We now provide gourmet, specially curated blood. Lucky and Peter are our two blood specialists and sommeliers, and they will handle blood requests. This is for your comfort and enjoyment. If you BYOB, it's at your own risk, because we can't vouch for any diseases or contaminants from the outside.
