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. The lab itself looks more Halloween-y than usual. There's a jack-o-lanterns and a few Halloween decorations. Timcanpy is behind him on the shelf, where what looks to be a little cape and fake vampire teeth over his already sharp teeth. Okay.]

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 few announcements today! We'll be holding our bimonthly blood drive next weekend. The blood donated is kept for medical emergencies that require blood transfusions. 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 and similar beings interested in volunteering need to be able to have restraint around blood and will not be allowed to sample the blood. The blood drive will be held on the SS Blue Fish, as usual.

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

Moving on, a few other minor announcements. [He puts on a pair of reading glasses and starts to read off a sheet of paper:]

Over the next few weeks, there's a number of Earth holidays of a rather...macabre flavour: Day of the Dead, Bonfire Night, and most popular- Halloween. So if you have Earth crewmates carving pumpkins, dressing up, showing a fascination with skeletons, ghosts and other things like that, gouging on candy, burning effigies- that's why. Please don't be alarmed.

If you drink blood or enjoy your meat rare, I've been notified that the meat from the planet can give rather...odd side effects if not cooked thoroughly. Side effects include decreased in good decision-making skills and increased urges to write poetry. Please show caution.

Finally, there's been many reports of some people feeling some sort of...presence with the planet. [for a second, he looks uneasy about it, but it leaves after a moment] We're still looking fully into it, and I'm not sure what it means. If anyone has any more information about it, it'd be appreciated.

And that's all for today. Thank you everyone. Have a good day.

[He waves to the camera before it gets shut off]

[OOC: As usual, the blood drive will be handwaved!]

A blood drive? That's such a cool idea! I'd love to donate, but I don't know my blood type, or how much I weigh. (ﾟヘﾟ)

[ Her self-esteem says "too much" and her skinny ribs say "not enough". Life's tough when you don't know where to get your hands on a set of scales. ]

So, until I find out, please count me in as a volunteer! My name's Nakamori Aoko, I'm a newbie on the Wonderduck.

[a blood drive. . . huh! having come directly from a world where people mostly used healing magic and other, non-scientific means of treating injuries, Kaito can appreciate the normality of something as simple as a blood drive. it makes him think of home, where things like magic were a rarity]

[he grins at his communicator before he fires off a reply text]

sign me up! but i've got a question first: chocolate chip cookies, right?

Poetry...

[Give him a moment.]

Why do I feel this was first hand experience? Was Sokka unable to wait for it to be cooked to eat meat this time? [Said in a deadpan, sarcastic way, yet at the same time wouldn't really be surprised to hear it was true.]

I'd like to volunteer. For the blood drive.

[As a recipient of a blood transfusion herself, Furiosa knew how important they could be. It was only fitting that she pay it forward.]

As usual, I'll happily help volunteer since I can't donate.

[Thanks, taint.]

Also, these holidays sound... interesting. They all relate to the dead and spirits, I take?

[lightbends]

[He said meat and weird side effects... that can only mean one person.]

What did Sokka eat now. Also - I could volunteer if you need the help.
