Hi -
I diablerize a vampire with blood with Kyrylo.
When can he play Slake the Thirst? Immediately after the fifth step in the
diablerie chain, prior to the Blood Hunt referendum? I assume so, since it
clearly says in the rules "effects may be played either before or after, as
appropriate".
I searched for this using this search criterion:

Anyway, here are some relevant texts:
6.5.5. Diablerie
Diablerie is the act of sending another vampire to Final Death by drinking
his blood. Only ready vampires can commit diablerie. Vampires marked as
Blood Cursed cannot commit diablerie. The vampire committing diablerie is
called the diablerist. Diablerie is resolved as follows:
1. All blood on the victim is moved to the diablerist. Blood in excess
of his capacity drains off as normal.
2. The diablerist may take any equipment on the victim.
3. The victim is burned (sent to his owner's ash heap). Any cards and
counters on him are also burned.
4. If the victim was older (had a higher capacity) than the diablerist,
the diablerist can be given a Discipline. His controller may go through her
library, ash heap and hand to get a master Discipline card to put on the
diablerist and then reshuffle her library or draw back up to her hand size
as necessary. This may increase the diablerist's capacity by 1, but does
not automatically give the diablerist a blood to fill that new capacity.
5. If the victim was Red List, the diablerist may receive trophies (see
section 11).
The steps of diablerie are treated as a single unit. No effects can be used
to interrupt the diablerie; effects may be played either before or after,
as appropriate. After diablerie, a blood hunt may be called on the
diablerist.
