Who: Allen Walker and You!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Blue Fish!
When: Today

[If you've been in the fleet for awhile, you've probably seen this kind of broadcast. Allen appears to be in the Blue Fish lab, standing behind a table. Behind him Timcanpy sits on a shelf wearing a small Santa hat. Allen has a smile on, but for the observant it might seem a bit more staged than normal.]

Hello everyone! For those who don't know me, I'm Allen Walker, I'm one of the medics aboard the SS Blue Fish. I just have a few announcements for today!

Just a few announcements today! We'll be holding our bimonthly blood drive next Tuesday. 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!

[Alright, that's done, moving on now. From the way he talks, it sounds almost recited. But oh let's face it, he probably rehearses these feeds a dozen times anyway.]

Secondly, you've probably noticed by now how cold the planet is. If you aren't familiar with such climates, I recommend watching Korra's broadcast, as she has much more experience than me! Thank you Korra!

Thirdly, I want to say that during this time of year, many worlds have special holidays: Christmas, Hanukkah, Solstice, Winter Veil, Hearth's Warming Eve, New Years and, probably others I don't know about. Not everyone celebrates, and that's fine if you don't. But ... there's nothing wrong with celebrating them even if we're far from home, or even celebrating a holiday not from you world. If anything, it might help people feel a bit better about being here. No matter where you are or what you celebrate- it stands true that a holiday spent with the people you cherish can be truly magical.

[There's a beat as he smiles at the camera, then he continues on in the same chipper manner:]

That said, please be careful of any holiday decorations that may actually be magical, because in some worlds' traditions that's a good way to wind up kissing your crewmates. And no, a land shark is not a good idea for a gift. They're wild animals.

That's all for now! I hope you have a good day, stay warm, and a nice holiday season.

[He gives a wave to the camera before the feed cuts out.]

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

[Okay, so by now, Beverly's already figured out a couple of important things: that she's been sucked into some other time or universe or something (it's weird, but kind of exciting, but also scary) and that some people - like Mr. Charles and Stefan - already know her. But she hasn't put together yet that she's from the Blue Fish or that Allen would know her either. She just wants to help!

(Some things she never grows out of)]


Mr. Walker! I want to volunteer! Only... what if we aren't old enough? What can we do?

...Do I want to ask about the land shark?

[She's torn.]

I gathered as much, but I'm kind of curious why you brought it up out of nowhere...

Would Elvish blood be of any use?

[Cookies! Well of course she likes the sound of that.]

Yes, please! What do I gotta do?

Yes, sir!

[She will be the fiercest cookie-guard ever]

Only um. I don't know how to get to your ship. I can't find a transporter station anywhere.

...You know, I haven't checked out the planet yet, but somehow I can't be surprised by random land sharks.

Here's hoping you haven't opened yourself to getting gifted, like, a dozen of them by bringing them up.
dancingmd: (bb so serious)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-12-17 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, I have my own room and everything! [She frowns thoughtfully.] I think I got it when I was a grown-up but they're letting me keep it anyway.

Uh-huh. Mr. Charles says I was here before, as a grown-up, and that we're friends and I'm in Starfleet. And Stefan said he's my nephew, except by adoption, because I don't have any brothers or sisters. And Dr. McCoy said we're in a.... a... Time contortion so even though he's from like a hundred years ago we can still be here together.

I shall fill out the form, then, and make myself available.

If you get sent a sponsor drop full of land sharks, I reserve the right to say I told you so.
castintoflames: (✧ and I'll do the same)

Maedhros, though I, like my kin, have other names besides.
