"Well, I guess Joseph came up with a formula; that looks pretty accurate. But he'd better be planning to clean that up, 'cause I ain't doing it."

Sprites do not have blood. The presence of blood in Enzo's dorm would most likely mean that he and his friends have been trying to produce fake blood as a demonstration of what it's like (and/or for amateur dramatics).

I am now picturing Sprite vampires.

They are very hungry all the time and sound like Count von Count.

Well, there are Class 5 viruses and other creatures that drain energy.

I am perfectly willing, however, to accept that somewhere out there, there is a Class 5 virus who sounds like Count von Count.

Or look and act like Nos-482, the Robot Vampire from the Buzz Lightyear cartoon.

And now I'm picturing vampires who have to drink a constant supply of Sprite.

I don't drink ~~wine~~7Up.

I haven't gone to sleep so I can actually answer this one early on!

Ako, if there isn't someone bleeding in the middle of the pool, freaks, bolts and a few blocks away calls the emergency department. She doesn't do well with blood.
That said, if there is a person bleeding in the middle of it she still freaks and then she tries to stop the bleeding while calling for help.

Artemis curses, is reasonably sure it's her Dad's fault, and continues to check things further.

Robo swears, and charges in to help. Anyone who might be bleeding out is substantially more fragile than he is.

Janet is creeped out and calls for JARVIS. Because the house should totally have noticed this happening. Or anyone else on the Avengers, anyone would be good with blood around. Guys? This isn't funny!

Tyler wants to know what made Sam spill her snack. Assuming no other damage that is, bullet holes change this dramatically.

"DOGMEAT! What did you kill when I wasn't looking?"

"Hells. I must have missed some when I cleaned last night. Where'd I leave the carpet cleaner?"

Autor would probably turn the light on, and then crouch down and investigate--leaving his back exposed to attack.

Look up, kid!

Tommy's first reaction is to swear, and then he'd yell for his dad and search the apartment for him, because that's whose blood it would be. His father is 82 years old and anything could happen to him. Also, god forbid it's the weekend or it might be either one of his daughters. Tommy has basic EMS training, so depending on the wound, he might be able to do something, but calling 911 would be the best course of action.

....

*cracks up*

my god, there's BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!!

You know what the REAL problem is?

I now have more than one character who either has had that happen to them, has been the CAUSE of that, or both.

Dinner!

Early game: Great. Naturally, I rent the room someone bled out in.

Late game: Who the hell could be responsible for this? Oh, right. Probably one of the eight thousand groups of people who could conceivably want me dead this week. I'll have Hetman Guls clean this up and then look into it.

Alfred: right now? "What the hell? Why are the mob trying to threaten me?"
later On: a groan and "Master Wayne, what have I told you about bleeding on the carpets?"

Jack West: *looks around the bunk room* Okay, who discharged themselves before the docs said they should?

Bean: Wait. Is that? Aw shit! Poke?! *looks around frantically*
This reaction, unfortunately, won't be exactly valid for much longer, but I suspect the only thing that will change in the future is the name of the person he's looking for

Max Epper: Eh? Doris, did you cut yourself on a knife?

Erik Selvig: freezes in place, and checks the door (again, conciously this time) for signs of being forced. Assuming there's nothing, he'll call out, "Who's there?"

Will: "Who needs bandagin'?"

Charles, he doesn't ask but uses his telepathy to search them out while worrying. Depending on where related to canon, the worry is more or less. If during the training montage, he'd sigh and go find Sean or Alex, but if after, he would worry more as he's still getting used to running a school.

William: "Mark, what happened? Are you coughin' again? We'll get you sorted."

Moist doesn't actually have a solid home but if he found blood in his hotel room, he would check any place a person could hide then leave. Blood means trouble.

Jane would worry for her father first and then the rest of her family.

Demeter would sigh and find out who was hurt.

Sameth would find the nearest weapon and arm himself with spells before looking for who or what is around.

Tumnus would have a bad moment as he worries about wolves before slowly going inside to look.

The Pirate King would bellow out to make his pirates tell him what they did.

"Mom? MOM?!" *cue super-fast searching of house*

Felix does not exactly have a home to walk into at the moment. Once I get stuff sorted out with him, I might well come back to this one.

Kain probably wonders which of the recruits got sloppy this time.

Fluttershy: "Ohmygoodness ohmygoodness ohmygoodness!"

Amascut: "Whoever left this here better be dead already!" followed by, depending on which home it is, "I need a (new) butler."

Evil Chicken: "Guys, I appreciate you defending my nest and all, but did you have to leave such a mess? ... You know what, nevermind, this looks nice."

Fairy Fixit is possibly the only one of mine who would be worried. She would spend a good amount of time searching the house up and down for the source or cause. I kind of doubt she would say anything.

Okay, I like this one. I don't know that I will expand on the mystery but I will get first reactions at least.

Ben would charge in as he lives in the Baxter Building and if there's blood, there's a high chance his family is hurt. Caution is for other folks.

Hank at this point in canon would quietly close the door and get to a phone to call security since he is living on a CIA base. He would then cautiously return and try and sneak about to see if anyone was hurt and needed help.

Jessica is immediately up on the walls or ceiling and looking/listening for whomever has attacked the Avengers. She's off the floor to protect evidence if need be and also as she might surprise whomever did this by coming from an unexpected place.

Val...Val would activate her armor and power up. She'd likely cast a sending to find a member of Security as she lives in Milliways at this point and then wade in looking for anyone hurt or the person responsible.

Thalia runs in with sword and shield drawn. I'm not sure if this happens at Camp Half-blood or with the Hunters to be honest.

Andrea draws her pistol (if the tech is up) or a hand crossbow (if the magic is up) and goes in cautiously. She lives alone at this point in canon and has few friends, none of which have a key to her apartment so something very wrong is up. When she makes it to the phone, she will call the authorities assuming the phone is working.

Thor would stride right in to see what was going on, and who was wounded or what miscreant was about. His stress/anger levels would depend on where exactly we're talking about -- blood on the floor in Asgard's palace means something has gone HUGELY WRONG, whereas blood in post-canon Avengers... whatever is still of concern, but in a place with a lot more breakable people and more vulnerability to supervillains etc. Either way he'd be ready for a fight, but in Asgard he'd be instantly deeply worried for his family and people and the sanctity of the palace's defenses, and thus spoiling for one.

Trowa, too, would be prepared for a fight. Either it's a wounded friend come to take refuge in his house -- surreptitious refuge, if he's just walking in on this -- or Cathy's hurt, and/or it's an enemy. In any case, he would proceed to scope out the situation as quickly and quietly as possible.

River might well assume it was a hallucination. Depends on what else she was picking up from people around. Whether she'd act as if this was an ambush or as if someone cut themselves slicing a bagel or as if this was a totally humdrum puddle of hallucinatory blood depends on what other information she had.

Regan on the other hand would assume that Gabriel had either hurt himself or been hurt, and would hit the panic button in her ring while silently freaking out. And then go -- cautiously, but nonetheless -- to investigate. Probably while calling "Gabriel?", because Regan is noooot the soldier/ninja/etc most of mine are.

Clare has no home, and would think it was Tuesday.

...Okay, only sort of. But so far as she's concerned, if there's a demon/yoma/etc nearby (and if that's human or Claymore blood on the floor), it's her job to go kill it immediately. If there's no demon nearby, and it's human-on-human violence, then stopping them beyond maybe some verbal remonstration isn't her place. And if it's yoma blood, hey, good job, whoever killed it! Yoma blood is a visibly different color than human blood, and Claymore blood is in between, so this is all pretty easy to assess. And she has demon-detecting senses that mean she'd know whether there was a yoma around long before she saw any blood.

For the record, Gabriel's reaction would likely be an exact duplicate of Regan's. :)

With a side order of looking for Raguel as he searched.

Ahahaha yeah.

Not that either of them could do anything about Raguel if he did show up with intent to kill/maim/...negotiate in his own unique way, but that wouldn't stop either of them. Because: Tams.

(Although I do appreciate that they both would also take sensible security precautions!)

Cata and Sam would both assume someone had botched a contract against them and take appropriate steps. Sam's first step would be making sure Kaylana was all right, if he didn't already know where she was.

Claudia would draw her Tesla and start checking rooms (and really wish Myka or Pete [or Steve, later] had her back).

Apollo... is highly unlikely to find blood in his house, being that it's on Olympus and he rarely has demigod visitors (regular mortals are right out). Blood wherever he was currently staying on Earth would be cause for concern, though; he's find out who was hurt and apply a little healing-fu.

Imp would get the Watch. Blood in his flat that's not his means someone tried to break in.

Regulus would actually make sure he didn't have any injuries himself, first, and then try to find out who was hurt. (My headcanon is that the amount of inbreeding the pureblood families do hasn't been without its consequences; since Regulus is relatively sane and has strong magic, it manifests in the form of hemophilia. He's been patching himself up since he first realised the problem and asked his father how to do a clotting charm.)

Red... it depends on the time of month, at her current point in canon. Usually she'd assume it was from whatever game was last night's dinner. Around the full moon, she'd currently assume the worst of herself, especially if she lost track of her cloak, until she actually found Snow and/or a lack of bodies. Later in canon, she'll know it wasn't Snow or anyone else she cares for.

(Ruby, in her appointed role as Storybrooke's Finder of Creepy Stuff, would get her scream on.)

Katya: Okay, scenario one, and we're talking about her apartment in Moscow. Which probably means Bear tracked it in (unlikely) after a fight and she really needs to go sit on him and force him back to the boss, or some idiot Dark Other was lying in wait, and Bear (or Seymon, or Ignat, or someone else, but most likely Bear) came by and taught them manners. In which case she really ought to go help get rid of the body.
Scenario two is that she's with Skellig, and she'll be all kinds of panicked until she finds her bird-brained partner again. She grew up trusting the skills of her mentors and the older members of the Watch - she only just got a Skellig.

Ace: Immediate not-stopping-to-think-about-it pissed-off Cheetah mode. Someone hurt her family, so someone's gonna die. Thank God for werewolves with dart guns.

Oswin: ... Probably wouldn't be ubertriggery for the PTSD, but she'd be all kinds of bundles of nerves until she got everything straightened out again. Also, either someone broke into her bar apartment and bled all over her floor (rude) or someone's being ubercreepy, both of which are options here.

Haymitch: Definitely, entirely ubertriggery for the PTSD. He has a knife, he'd be waving it, and no one really, really should go near him. Again, no good reason for it to be there other than the person-he-knows-breaking-in or the someone-he-doesn't-know being creepy. Neither of which is a good option.

Glorfindel: Is pretty much always armed to some level or other, so first he's going to scout the apartment / living quarters and find out where the blood came from and find the person that left it there. If it's a friend, they'll get help. If it's otherwise, they'll bleed more.

Balthazar: It's Dave's. He probably cut himself on a pair of safety scissors. (Resigned Balthazar is oh so resigned)

Shaz: ... so. much. screaming. *sigh* And calling for the police.

The door opens and the old rat is instantly overcome with the scent of fresh blood.

His brow furrows.
His tail twitches.

"MICHAELANGELO!," he bellows.

Answering my own DE for once!

Voodoo would draw his pistol and search every nook and cranny of his house. He lives alone, and the blood would likely not be his own.

John would first check on Abigail, then Jack. If he was at one of his safehouses, he wouldn't draw his gun, but he'd certainly have one hand on the butt as he searched.

Mako would immediately check to see where Bolin was, and if he was hurt. If Bolin was missing, he'd ask Toza where he was. If Toza didn't know, he'd start searching the city.

And then Bolin would probably turn up at a dumpling stand or something and Mako would yell at him.

And then Bolin would probably turn up at a dumpling stand or something and Mako would yell at him.

#accurate

I like to think that Aang would go frantically looking for Katara before, you know, just lapsing into the Avatar state in a panic.

But I suppose that would really depend on the day.

Both Bumi and Raph have the same reaction: Draw a weapon, and investigate further. Bumi might taste the blood, to see if it's actually blood. Raph...would DO NO SUCH THING.

Mike Would make a mad dash for Splinter's room, even though he could easily just ask Bar if she's "seen" him.

The Loompas would just assume one of their many boobytraps had worked, and calmly go about their day as planned.

Ida would analyze the blood, and provided it didn't belong to someone she's responsible for, just send the Interridroid to clean it up.

Well for Jack that kind of depends on who else lives in the house, but in most instances, seeing blood on the floor would mean he'd pull out his gun before he even had a chance to think about it, and do a sweep of the place.

If it happened to Jack where he is in the game, living alone, he'd then he'd probably start trying to figure out whose blood it is and how it got there, but be ready to leave at any time as it would look like someone's trying to set him up for something.

M, on the other hand, should immediately walk back out the door and call MI-6, even though she'd also be terrified that something had happened to her husband. She knows well enough that he could be used to get her to walk into a trap, though, and I think she'd probably go with protocol over emotion, especially as her driver/security agent would either be just pulling away from the curb or no more than a block away.

Of course, there's always the possibility that someone's counting on her walking straight back outside as a reaction, in the way they've set their trap...

Ahaha I had thought of that, or wait in the house until her security agent returned, take him out and then grab her, as I assume she has the equivalent of a panic button on her phone or on her person somewhere connected to her security. :D

Henry would probably freak out. He'd try not to show it, but he'd end up calling for Emma (or some other adult he at least semi-trusts) and try not to show the freaked-out-face.

Lois, at current canon point, would make different assumptions based on location. If she were breaking into some place, she'd get cautious and peering silently; if it's a familiar place, cautious and peering and calling for whoever she thought likely. Oddly, on a purely unconscious level the thought that it's Clark's wouldn't even occur to her.

Tavi, at this point in canon, would immediately start feeling around with his watercrafting for who would be nearby, and probably get ready to draw his sword/dagger/whatever at a moment's notice. And he'd be all cautious-peery-spy-like about it.

Rue, if she were back at home in District 11, would immediately search the house to see which of her parents/siblings was injured ~~or God forbid dead~~. If the blood were found in her room in Milliways she'd probably head back downstairs and find someone from Security to go through her room and make sure no one is still inside.

Munch lives alone, so blood in his apartment would be a red flag. He would clear his apartment himself before calling Fin and CSU.

Dani would immediately go ghost and search the house to see which of her parents, or Danny or Jazz if they're home from school, is hurt.

What's in the nine hells is this? An assassin? But who could possibly want me dead?

Oh, that's right. Everyone.

Can somebody go check on Annie? I'm not sure if she's OK.

(Just kidding. I had to. I don't have a serious answer because it depends. Since Clone High wasn't a really dramatic show it would have to mean something comedically tragic happened. Like the time Abe accidentally cut his mouth up with the Knork. It's a weird show.)

Dr Thurlow has no housemates, so it has to be a trespasser or a pet doing the bleeding. I haven't decided whether the Starveling Cat has taken up residence in their lodgings at this point; if it has, then the scenario that would spring immediately to mind is that somebody broke in and the Starveling Cat mauled them.

It's not a normal cat.

Or a nice one.

(I have no ideas for Aradia)
