Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Blue FIsh
When: Today

[For those who've been here awhile, a familiar scene comes onto the feed. Allen's standing behind a table in the Blue Fish clinic. This time, there's some fading bruising and a healing gash on his face. His expression still holds a polite smile, but it seems more subdue than usual. Timcanpy is still behind him on a shelf, also seeming subdued.]

Hello everyone. If you don't know me, I'm Allen Walker, one of the medics aboard the Blue Fish. Nice to see you all again.

Just a couple announcements today. We'll be holding our blood drive next weekend. The blood donated is kept for medical emergencies that require a blood transfusion. In other words, we use scientific methods to help someone whose lost a lot of blood. If you donate, we'll gladly pay you.

If you're interested and are over the age of 16, please fill out the form attached to this video. [And what do you know, it's there] If you're interested in volunteering, please let me know. Vampires interested in volunteering will need to be able to have restraint around blood and will not be allowed to sample the blood. Also, the blood drive will be back on the SS Blue Fish again. Thank you for everyone's flexibility.

And as always, there will be cookies to anyone who volunteers or donates.

Also, I'm looking for volunteers to help with gathering supplies and assembling first aid kits. If we can make enough of them, these kits will be stored in numerous spots on the Iskaulit, fleet ships and shuttles, to be used in case of an emergency. Please let me know if you'd like to help with that.

[There's a pause. It almost looks like he wants to say something else...but then, he decides against it]

That's all I have for today. Thank you, and have a good day.

[And with that, the feed ends.]

[OOC: As usual, the blood drive itself will be handwaved! Also there is a new form in the blood drive sign-up post meant to clarify age requirements. If you already signed your character up to donate it, you don't need to sign up again!]

Hi. I'll help with the first aid kits, and any other odd jobs you need an extra hand with. I can't donate blood though, unfortunately.

[save_the_souls]

Ah, wonderful! And don't worry about the blood- lots of people can't donate.

[Is he curious as to why? Sure. But he knows better not to pry]

Do you have any medical training?

[goldenglasses]

Hey, Allen. [A beat. Should he ask how he was doing? Probably gets a lot of that. Stay on task then.]

I'd be happy to see what I can do about getting some first aid supplies. And if people really need payment or something for the blood donations I'm happy to help with that bill as well.

[Said as he's currently finally filling out his own donation form.]

Hello Vash.

Really? Thank you! I got some funds saved up for the blood drive, but I wouldn't say no to a donation. [It adds up after awhile] Or even just more supplies for the kits I'd be grateful.

[throwsdown]

Whuh! How come we gotta be over 16?! That's so old!

[save_the_souls]

[Wow. It's been awhile since Allen's seen a kid that young. But that's cool, that's okay. He's got this. He'll smile at him and speak cheerfully!]

Because if you're not big enough, we could take too much of your blood! And that'd be really bad!

[Yeah. Still sucks at this]

[sylphystia]

[That bit of hesitation is very telling. He's pretty sure he could say something like, 'hey, are you all right', it's the nice thing to do, but--]

I'm sure it was only a matter of time until someone decided to beat the crap out of everyone for no reason.

[save_the_souls]

[He clears his throat. He wants to say something to defend Winter, to make sure it's clear that it wasn't the guy's fault. But he knows he should try to stay professional about things. It's the clinics that matter.]

Yes, well...better to learn and be prepared for the next time Atroma decides to stir things up.

[fuga]

i can give you blood until i stop bleeding.

[ Comforting, right? ]

[save_the_souls]

[VERY COMFORTING.]

Ah, thank you for the generous offer! But our policy only allows us to take about a pint, so I promise we won't need to drain you dry.

[forsometimenow]

I can help with the kits. And training people how to use them.

[Jennifer looks distinctly uncomfortable. She'd thought about doing something like this sooner, but had never gotten around to it, and now... But she shakes her head, musters up a smile.]

Are you doing okay?

[save_the_souls]

I'm fine.

[It's bruises. They'll heal. That's how he feels]

But thank you. I'd imagine you'd be better at teaching first aid than I would. I'm not really the teaching sort.

[sonofgold]

I'll be by to give blood. How're you feeling, Allen?

[save_the_souls]

I'm fine.

And thank you, Al. It's good that you can donate now!

[namisan]

I can help assemble first aid kits.

{What's one more job on the pile. This is important.]

[save_the_souls]

Thank you, Nami! I'd certainly like to make sure there's some in the bars, at least.

[shoujoreject]

As usual, I'll be around to help. I have enough know-how now for phlebotomy as well as the kits.

[For too many reasons, now]

Video

[save_the_souls]

Ha- you are getting pretty good at it!

But thank you Qing! I always appreciate the help.

[universal_charm]

Count me in for helping with the first aid kits and any distribution of them you need.

_{[ He would volunteer blood, but... well, he's not sure what it could do to people, so he can't risk it. Not without talking to Beverly, and he was sure she had enough problems right now outside of checking his blood and giving him a check up. ]}

[save_the_souls]

Thank you, Kirk! I'd appreciate any help we can get! The Iskaulit is a big ship after all.

[stefanged]

I can help with the first aid kits. I know the Center could use more than apple gels...

[He pauses, as if just seeing the bruises on Allen's face.] You holding up okay?

video;

[save_the_souls]

Thank you, Stefan! The Interfaith Center is definitely one I want to give priority for getting a kit. [Along with the bars and gyms, but hey] I don't suppose it'd be possible to make enough gels for the kits, do you...

I'm alright. It's just bruises, I've had much worse.

video

[experiencepoints]

You'll have to teach me how to assemble one, but I'll help with the kits.

video

[save_the_souls]

I'd be happy to teach you! It's not too bad, it's mostly making sure the supplies are usable and have enough of that.

voice;

[nerdeology]

Sorry for the rush job, but it's good that you're alright. Do you need another healing arte now that we're all rested?

voice;

[save_the_souls]

You don't have to apologise, you helped me a lot!

And um... [He considers] I don't know. Maybe if there isn't anyone else you need to take care of. I know I got off easy compared to the others.

video;

[geonomy]

I can help put first aid kits together! And the donation thing, but you know that already.

video;

[save_the_souls]

[The smile becomes a bit less forced, and a bit more genuine when he sees Clay on the feed]

I know, but I always appreciate your support. Thank you.

[winn]

[ he holds up a hand as the feed starts ] Winn Schott. [ just getting that out of the way now and putting that hand down. ] I'd like to help with all of it, just give me a to-do list.

[ he'd normally want to help with this - but after his girlfriend was injured in the recent conflict? he needs to help with this. ]

video;

[save_the_souls]

Ah- Winn Schott! I've heard of you, nice to finally to meet you.

[He offers him a smile.]

And thank you. Mostly right now, we need help with gathering supplies for the kits. I have enough for a few kits in my clinic, but we'll need more.

Video

[spontaneouscombustion]

Hey, Allen. Like I said, I'll donate, and I can make cookies and other food if you want.

I didn't get to thank you for standing up to me last time, either.

Video

[save_the_souls]

Oh really? That'd be really helpful- our cook recently left, so... [We need a cookie maker]

Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sorry for what Sokka said. He doesn't doesn't always think.
