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!]

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.

[forsometimenow]

Well, thanks for saying so. I meant to say something about it over the network, actually, but... with one thing or another I never got around to it. But this proves it's never a bad time to think about prevention and preparation.

[save_the_souls]

Mm, I couldn't agree more. The better prepared we are, the better off we'd be if something happens.

[forsometimenow]

I'm also thinking about another problem... treating nonhumans. I mean, obviously I only know things about human physiology, and I'm sure some of the other doctors are the same way. I might ask over the network if others would be willing to add some of the knowledge they have about treating their own species.

[save_the_souls]

Oh, that's a good idea. I know my own knowledge in treating non-humans is really lacking. It can be a serious problem sometimes.

[forsometimenow]

Yeah... we do have the magical healers, but what if Atroma decides to block their magic, just for fun? I wouldn't put it past them.
