Broadcast: Fleetwide, Voice & Text
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: March 13th

[He's sticking with voice today, making sure any video feed is getting a text message that is accompanied with it]

Hello all. I'm Allen Walker, the- [He clears his throat and corrects himself] - rather, one of the Lab Assistants on the S.S. Blue Fish. If you don't usually listen, you may want to- because I'm willing to pay you.

[Yes. That's right. Money.]

Several might have noticed that the medical bays are rather sparse in terms of supplies beyond basic first aid. Atroma says that we can send in requests for medicine, but I'm not sure I'm willing to trust them to have our best interests in mind.

[Weird thing that. But after a moment, he links up a request board database.].

Therefore, I've compiled a supply list of things that'd be useful to have in the medical bays. I know many of you have been doing odd jobs for money, and this is very much the same. You get us the supplies, and I'll pay you. Simple as that. If I get a surplus of any items, I'd be more than happy to share with other medical bays.

If anyone else has things they need that aren't already on the list, they are welcomed to submit their own requests. Though if it's anything not vital to the fleet's health, I do request that the reward be paid out of your own pocket. And if there's anything about a request that seems suspicious, I am allowed to deny it.

Oh, and there's a request list for cooking supplies too - if that's more your thing. [Thanks guys]

Finally, the medical bays are also use fresh blood for the sake of blood transfusions. For people not familiar with the concept, it's a way to prevent people from dying of blood loss.

I'm planning to hold a Blood Drive this Sunday. Any people who donate blood will be given fresh baked cookies and be paid in money or food. I'd also be happy for any volunteers to help with running the blood drive, so please contact me if you're interested! Any vampiric volunteers must be able to have restraint around blood and will not be allowed to sample any donations.

[Which yes, even that last part was said with complete straight-faced sincerity]

Thank you!

Action!

[alwayscomeback]

[Peering in, you spoke of food?]

So, if I give you my blood, I get cookies. That's what I'm getting from this.

Action

[save_the_souls]

[Of course he comes at the mention of food]

Yes, that's right!

Re: Action!

[dancingmd]

[Pops her head in as well. She looks at Sokka and grins. He gets cookies all the time on this ship anyway.]

Well you were easy to convince. I only hope everyone else will be as cooperative.

VOICE

[stopbleeding]

You're gonna pay us? How much?

VOICE

[save_the_souls]

That depends on the job. The harder the request, the more I'll pay.

But I'll make sure it's as worthwhile as the jobs you find on the planets.

[everydayhero]

So, I'm a few months shy of that blood donation age limit thing.

[like 15]

However, I see you're looking to get your hands on a stereo.

[:)))))))))]

Anything specific you want it to have? Multi-CD drive, auxiliary jack, tape deck? Built-in subwoofer? Battery-operated and rechargeable?

[save_the_souls]

Ah- sorry! Maybe in a few months you can donate.

[Since yes. No exceptions ever there. But he perks up at the stereo talk]

Are you saying you can get one? I guess...multiple CD-drive would be nice- so would it being battery-operated and rechargable!

....I'm not sure what those other things are.

[dancingmd]

[As soon as she hears this, she finds Allen.]

I am of course happy to help in any way. This is an excellent idea!

Action

[save_the_souls]

Really?

[He beams, proud that his idea is a good one]

Thank you, Dr. Crusher! I've been working on it awhile!

[Okay, so most of it was time spent yelling at the board to actually WORK since he is not that great at computers - but still!!]

video forever;

[mysterzie]

I thought donating blood was some kind of whole process.

... wait, since when are there vampires?

and ever!

[save_the_souls]

[He switches on his video, since it feels rude not to]

Well there is a process, but it doesn't take that long. We used to do it all the time in the last clinic I worked at.

And I'm not sure if there are any in the fleet right now, but they seem to bring in all types- so you can never be sure!

1/2

[ino]

Oh ... I guess I can't donate! I don't weigh enough.

[ She seems strangely proud of this ]

2/.2

[ino]

Oh, but I'd be happy to help wrangle any volunteers!

[ishere]

[ UHH this is his first foray into actually reaching out to a stranger on this device, but - ]

I'd be happy to donate. And, uh, to help out, if you still need it. I don't have a lot of firsthand experience yet, but I'm lab support, too.

[save_the_souls]

[He smiles.]

Thank you, sir.

If you're a lab support too, I'd be happy to show you how to do it if you'd like.

video

[howcanihelp]

I can't donate my blood as I don't think it would be safe to put into other people, but I can certainly help if you need me.

video

[save_the_souls]

That's perfectly alright, I'm in the same situation myself.

[Which sucks considering he's an O-type]

But certainly! Have you done this sort of work before?

video

[forsometimenow]

I'd be happy to help both ways- giving and taking blood.

video

[save_the_souls]

That'd be wonderful, thank you! You're one of the doctors aren't you?

Voice

[innercactus]

I don't think I can help with the blood thing. I bleed, but it's sap.

[ He thinks a little further. ]

I also have a lab-support.... but I don't remember what is in .. the medical bay?

Voice

[save_the_souls]

Sap? [He squints at the screen. Wow he did look kinda...] Like a tree?

The medical bay? Have you taken a look around it yet?

Video

[puro]

[HELPING PEOPLE!!! :D]

I'll happily donate, no payment required.

Video

[save_the_souls]

Eh? Are you sure?

[misconceived]

[ Hey, it sounds like Alex! Except there's a very distinct lack of cursing so it's probably Chris. ]

I'd donate, but trust me, you don't want what I've got to give. [ Magical demon blood driving mortals crazy with power? Nahhh. ] But... I could probably volunteer considering I've got that lab support augment. Pretty sure I'd be able to pick it up, anyway.

[save_the_souls]

[He takes a moment to listen and-yep. Definitely Chris]

Ah, that's okay. I know other people in that situation. [including himself]

You'd be welcome to volunteer! I'm going to be showing another lab assistant how to get blood Sunday morning before the drive. If you'd like, I could show you at the same time too.

Video

[serpentis]

And where are you proposing to keep all of this blood?

[Dorian that doesn't sound sketch at all.]

Video

[save_the_souls]

[.....yeah that sure doesn't sound sketch]

In a refrigerator in the medical bay.

audio

[devilsinthedetails]

I would be happy to donate blood, but considering that my blood tends to cause insanity and power use upon transfusions, I think I'll pass. I would like to help in other capacities though.

[Mostly because wants cookies.]

audio

[save_the_souls]

Ah...yes, thank you. It'd be much better not to risk that on people.

But we'd always welcome more help. Do you have any experience with these things?

video

[faithfulwisdom]

[Whoah. Wait a second. Back up.]

Do you mean to say that you have the ability to transfer one person's blood into another? [He leans forward, obviously intrigued] Such a technology could have saved many lives where I am from.

video

[save_the_souls]

Mm. It has to be the right kind of blood, but that's right! [He smiles a little] I'd imagine many worlds would benefit from such a technology.

audio;

[idealistic]

[ okay so the payment in food or money (mostly food) was tempting, but he has to ask: ]

Wait-- you can actually give people blood? Don't you need it to, you know, stay in your body? [ the star of science class, here. ]

audio;

[save_the_souls]

[It's okay he is used to questions like this at this point]

You do. But if it's done carefully, a small amount can be taken out of a healthy person without causing them harm to be donated to someone who needs blood.

audio

[whereivebeen]

Hey, so, I'm all down for donating, but it'd mostly be for myself. I have... sort of different blood. I mean, it's totally safe to give to humans if they don't mind having low level magic for a few days, but it's a little less safe for me to get human blood.

Is that cool?

audio

[save_the_souls]

Different blood...?

Um- sure! I don't mind. Just make sure to make a note of it in the form so I know not to mix it up with any other bloods!

Video, pretend this was done earlier

[hearsthesea]

If you still need help, I can volunteer. But, ah...is there a way to test whether your blood is different?

Video,

[save_the_souls]

I will run tests on them to make sure the blood's safe.

But...how do you mean different?
