Who: Sam Winchester and you.
Broadcast: Video.
Action: N/A (unless you wanna stop by and visit him!)
When: Now-ish.

Alright, well — hey, everyone. Just a few things, most of it kind of important to get out there ahead of time. First thing's first... Captain Nami's currently MIA; I'm guessing something Atroma-related. She's not anywhere on the ship, but her name's on the roster still. Until she's back, I'll take over reigns on the Bloodsport temporarily, so if anyone has anything they need to talk about regarding the ship, just let me know.

... I'll also be sure to help keep The Space Bar functioning, if any extra help is actually needed. Fenris, you think you can keep things going alright there as her second in command? Just let me know, I'll be more than happy to do a little more work outside of bar-tending.

[He's... worried. Really worried, as he usually is when his friends just disappear or fall into comas. The comas are a lot easier, actually — seeing where people are, even if they're not awake. Katie had also... Focus, Sam. Work first, worrying way later. It'd do no good to get distracted yet.]

Since Allen's left, I'm also gonna be taking over the blood drive for him. What he did was extremely important, and that blood can go towards important transfusions in case of emergency; it doesn't exactly happen too often, but I've been in plenty situations in my life where any little contribution means life instead of death.

If you're interested in giving blood, please let me know and I'll get you in on the screening process. Per the old guidelines, you have to be over the age of 16 and fill out the form attached to the video. Any supernatural or magical being who has a hard time around blood: restraint is a necessity.

The blood drive'll be on the Bloodsport. Which I guess is... actually kind of fitting.

I don't exactly have snacks to offer yet, but if anyone would like to make some, I'd be more than happy to pay you.

[Phew, that's not even the end of it. He flips gracefully through a few loose leaf papers.]

Also — before Kirito left the fleet, um. He and I worked on a GPS function for the network devices, so that you can send out your coordinates. It's an easily accessible function that can show exact locations on planets or in space, in case you want to meet up with someone or — more importantly — if you end up lost or injured and need assistance.

It's not perfect, but it helps increase your chances of getting out of a messy situation and saves time in day-to-day traveling planet-side. It does need to be manually placed on your communicators, though, so please let me know if you're interested and stop by the Bloodsport when you've got a chance.

... And give it up for Kirito; this thing wouldn't be half as functional without his half of the work.

[He clears his throat.]

Man. Lot of people missing or left, huh? How about something else? Say one good thing about yourself. Maybe... something you're good at, or a feature you like. Maybe a hobby you're good at?

I try to practice it myself; reminding myself of things I like about me. So... Lay it on me.

(OOC: Blood drive is handwaved! You can also handwave Sam putting the network GPS on your communicator, but comment here so I know who he's been adding the code to if you can. So much to do, so little time, lmfao.)

It's possible. But it'll do us no good to think like that without some kind of evidence.

After all, they could've been catapulted into a giant space monster's mouth, for all we know. Or sent to a desert planet. The things to worry about are endless, if we let them be.

True, none of us would ever get any rest. And given how many other worlds there are out there, who take people from other places and keep them there also, it widens those possibilities even further.

[He rubs a hand over his face, sighing.]

It's a really big backyard.

I'd say leaping from one world to here is rare, but a lot of people have. Myself kind of included. I mean, I didn't leap directly from here to there, but I've been in other worlds before this one.

Enormous.

Me too. I was leaving one world to go home, when I was brought here.

...

That's pretty rough luck. You must've been thrilled.

It turned out for the best. My world has become even more of a mess than when I left it. The sky opened up and demons poured out, apparently. I am perfectly content to miss out on that.

... Yikes.

I know the feeling.

[#SOLIDARITY]

Hope that gets sorted out quickly; nothing more unpleasant than an avalanche of demons.

That...is not a pleasant thing to share.

[DEMONS, man. Fucking demons. ]

I have been told it will, but there's always one thing coming after another there. Always some world-destroying something waiting in the darkness. I would rather not deal with it at all. There is little waiting for me, back home, anyway.

[Are you sure it's not just raining Crowleys over there? Maybe it's not so bad.

But he frowns regardless.]

... I've felt the same before. Many times.

Always feels like it's one thing after the other.

[Nope, these are actually competent demons that murder the shit out of everyone. ]

That would describe Thedas well. I do not think we have has peace and quiet for the last twenty years. And things are likely to get worse.

[Nothing good is going to happen with Solas. Nothing good at all. ]

... Things usually get worse before they get better.

Hang in there.

I am not sure there is a 'better' for Thedas, to be honest.

[Sam, you don't understand what a giant crapsack world Thedas is, okay. ]

...Yes, while I am dealing with demons and the Fade tearing itself into the realm of mortals, I will remember a motivational catchphrase. Thank you for reminding me. This will be a big help.

[SNARK SNARK SNARK. ]

Hey man, you're not the only one whose world is constantly being ripped apart or filled with demons.

[He shrugs, chill as fuck. Dean's his brother, Fenris, so he's used to the snark.]

I'm just offering the only thing I can, while we're stuck here.

Not the most pleasant of experiences to share.

[No one needs that. ]

I apologise. I do appreciate the help, I just see my home world as something of a lost cause.

My brother's been through similar trains of thought, too; world almost ends, it's hard not to throw your hands up and feel helpless to it... I'd say you two would get along, but I'm not sure you'd handle each other's snark.

[He grins.]

[There's a high chance they'd probably end up punching one another. ]

I generally don't get along well with people. It would likely be disastrous.

It would definitely be disastrous.

But hey, I'd get practice in playing referee.

Or you could get caught in the crossfire.

Eh, I'm used to that. Give me anything that constitutes as a shield and I'll make it.
