MINGLE - Blood Drive!

[save_the_souls]

Who: Anyone Participating in the Blood Drive!
Broadcast:
Action: Open to All!
When: BACKDATED TO LAST SUNDAY, March 15th

[Hey remember that whole Blood Donation network post that came up a few days ago? Well it's time for the actual blood drive! On the network, there will a message posted reminding everyone of the blood drive located on the SS Blue Fish - which is parked in a volcano in Mor. You know the volcano.]

[If your character is Donating, please fill out this form here! ]

[If your character is Volunteering - they'll have been sent a message asked to arrive before the blood drive start to set up and go over procedures. Only Volunteers with Lab Assistant Augment or a Medical background will be helping with drawing blood! Volunteers without that (or lab assistants not interested in drawing blood) can be assisting with greeting people, helping people with paperwork, checking on donor's well-being, handling payments, or manning the cookie table. There's lots to do!]

[Be warned that since it's a blood drive, sections of this post will Contain Content with Blood and Needles. If that stuff makes you uneasy and you wish to handwave your character's involvement with the blood drive- that's totally fine! Otherwise go, have some fun full of blood and cookies!]

Much of what we do is more mundane than it might appear, but you're right... the amazing things I've seen out there, I wouldn't trade it for any other life. I hope, when you return home, that you will get your chance to travel.

[She ponders for a moment.]

I can't say I've heard of San Angel, but that doesn't mean it's not there! If it is, I promise I will find it.

[She finishes filling the last of the collection tubes.]

Alright, we're almost done. You can open your hand now.

[She starts to apply the guaze.]

I'm sure María would happily take me all around Europe if she could.

[Assuming she hasn't married Joaquín while he's been dead. Ha. Ha.]

Good luck, I'm sure you'll love it.

[He does as asked. ]

That wasn't bad at all.

[dancingmd]

Maria? Who is she?

[She didn't waggle her eyebrows when she said that, but she might as well have been from the tone of her voice.]

[puro]

[His smile is usually pretty bright, but with this subject, he absolutely BEAMS. ]

She is the love of my life.

[He says this so surely. As if he didn't know anything else in the world, he would know this as one absolute, unending certainty. ]

[Beverly's smile has a hint of sadness in it. His surety reminds her of Jack.]

She's lucky to have someone like you, Manolo. I hope you'll get to return to her soon.

[puro]

Gracias, so do I. I'm doing everything in my power to get back to her.

[dancingmd]

[She rests a sympathetic hand on his shoulder. The more people she meets here, the more determined she is to find a way out.]

I have no doubt about that.

Well, you are all good to go here. Thank you very much for your donation! Every bit helps! And don't forget to drink lots of fluids and eat something before you return to your ship. If Sokka gives you any trouble at the cookie table, just let me know.

[puro]

[He smiles, standing. He considers just making a run for it, not eating his cookie, leaving it for someone else. He doesn't think it would be wise running the gauntlet og Scary Ladies, though. ]

I'll do that! I promise.

[And off he goes!]

[dancingmd]

[Beverly will be watching him like a hawk as he goes by the cookie table. No skipping food for this mariachi.]

[puro]

[He pauses and picks up a cookie, waving it at her, look he's eating ooonnne. ]

[dancingmd]

[She grins and waves back. What a good kid.]
