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!]

Do you not? Well, I suppose you were rather out of it. I'd understand if you missed his expression.
[Or he's just. Really earnest. It's probably Sorey's fault.]
voice;
voice;
voice;
[OY VEY]
And he's my boyfriend. Not friend.
voice;
[He feels like he should know that one, but hey, country bumpkin. Why is one's gender significant?]
voice;
It means we're dating? Er- we have a romantic relationship?
voice;
[It was Zaveid, wasn't it? He totally heard something like that from Zaveid.]
voice;
voice;
[Just think of the teasing! It'd be like handing someone ammunition that happens to be none of their business.]
voice;
It's not that. I don't give a damn if someone doesn't approve of me being with Clay.
I'm just not the sort to broadcast stuff about my personal life.
voice;
Of course that makes sense, but what about you two being together would anyone not approve of?
voice;
[How do you explain it]
We're both men. There's a number of cultures that don't believe two people of the same sex should be in a romantic relationship.
Fortunately, I haven't run into that very much here.
voice;
ohhhhhhh]
I see... I suppose it would make sense for that to be unusual with mortals, since families tend to be built via direct reproduction, right?
[Gramps didn't get into that much, but it was sort of implied when he talked about Sorey eventually leaving Elysia. Humans go out and find someone to marry, settle down, blah blah blah...]
voice;
voice;
That's unfortunate- that people feel that way, I mean. I've never heard of that kind of restriction before, to be honest.
voice;
[To put it as an incredible understatement. If he wanted to, he could go on about it. He wasn't blind to how his world and time felt about such things. There were all sorts of terrible ways people were categorized and restricted for things they couldn't control.]
[But he really wasn't the sort to dive into such talks about society. Back home, he had always been on the fringe of it all anyway. A traveler that just kept walking from one place to another when it suited him. He's been an unwanted outcast for as long as he could remember, so why start giving a damn what society thought about him?]
I'd imagine things are very different for Seraphim.
voice;
[Not that the concept itself is unique to seraphim - Rose described the Scattered Bones much the same way - but for most others it's a choice rather than a rule.]
voice;
[a pause]
If they have no way of reproducing, where do new Seraphim come from?
[WHERE DO BABIES COME FROM MIKLEO????]
voice;
[GRAB A CHAIR TIME FOR A BIOLOGY LESSON. ...Or is this more like mythology? ...Anyway.]
Some humans, when they die, are reborn as seraphim. I've heard those are pretty rare, though- like a reward for great deeds. For the most part we're born from the earth itself. Since we're associated with our given element, our bodies are formed from the mana of that element when the world has a need for us.
voice;
[He'll never fully get over his father's name being used for such a term, but he's learned not to bring it up]
Huh. So I suppose you came from some water mana?
voice;
voice;
[Like baby Jesus or something. Which sry Mikleo you aren't him. But huh, okay]
Wait. So if you and Sorey were both babies at the same time, does that mean Seraphim age at the same rate as humans?
voice;
voice;
I'm a little jealous. Humans can't control how old they look. [Like him still looking like a damn teenager]
voice;
In other words, any attempt for a seraph to be anything more or less than themselves will just turn them into a monster.
