blood headcanons: part 1 | part 2 | part 4

choosing the group to cover today was a little hard but i'm going to opt for joey, mikah, and vega today, given that it'll be a little easier since they have a singular shared trait: the fact that they can resurrect when killed.

mikah and joseph are a slight different case compared to Vega, as they are Ajin. the resurrection is a set bodily process that is just.... apart of their life. whether or not it's caused by an organ or something else, no one knows. all anyone does know is that when they resurrect, they're as good as new.... and you know, i will take that to heart.

mikah and joseph's blood will always taste fresh. it's pretty basic in flavors and is honestly comparable to those staple summer drinks that you crave when it's hot out and your throat is dry. it's thirst quenching and whatever flavors are in it don't get watered down or diluted by ice and whatever else you add to it. it'll naturally taste a little less impactful if you attempt to drink from them right as they've reset but it lasts maybe an hour at most.

vega, due to the fact that his resurrections are not really.... natural and are caused by some supernatural process that takes a bit longer than the other two, is more like flavored sparkling or seltzer water. still very good and refreshing but in a different way. it may lose some carbonation when he's just revived but it doesn't take too long for it to reach the same mouth feel as it normally is. maybe a couple days, at most.

the key take away is that it will never taste any different. it is reliable in that no matter how long they live and no matter how many times they are killed, it will always go back to tasting as though you just uncorked a bottle of it that just been chilling and waiting for you.
