Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Fleet Wide, video
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: May 21st

[As usual, the broadcast shows the medical lab of the Blue Fish, with Allen at his usual table. Though unlike last time, there's his golden golem in the background- seeming to be gesturing with his wings like he's trying to sign what Allen's saying- too bad sign language doesn't make much sense when the speaker just has wings. Allen meanwhile, seems completely oblivious to Tim's "help"]

Hello all. This is Allen Walker, one of the medics aboard the SS Blue Fish.

I just wanted to let you know that this Sunday on the SS Blue Fish, we'll be holding another blood drive for blood transfusions. For those who are unfamiliar with blood transfusions, it's a medical practise that can make sure that people don't die of blood loss by giving them spare blood.

Anyone who donates will be given cookies and drink. Donors can also get paid in their choice of money, food, or prize vouchers for those who aren't having any luck in the casino. If you are interested and haven't donated before, please fill out this form here! [And here comes a handy form]

If anyone would like to volunteer or have any questions, please let me know! Any vampiric volunteers must be able to show restraint around fresh blood and will not be allowed to sample any donations.

Thank you!

[And the feed cuts out.]

[OOC: It's that time for another blood drive! It should be noted that due to busy schedules of the Blue Fish medic muns, the actual blooddrive will be IMPLIED and there will be no mingle post this time around. Thanks!]

I know, this isn't my first time in a place like this. Still...I'd like the chance to get to know you- ah, again.

[Yep. Very weird on the other side. And he's not...sure about that doing good part, but- he'll let it slide. It isn't his business]

It's nice to meet you, Sheena.

[She brightens visibly.] W-wow, I thought you were gonna say no. Everyone's so friendly here.

[Sheena is bad at making friends but not quite as bad as she used to be. It's mostly just, wow, people don't know she was exiled from her village or that she's a lower class citizen so they don't give a fuck.

That's nice.]

[It's okay Sheena. Allen was a hobo and is a wanted fugitive from his Order. He won't be judging if he finds out.]

[But he smiles at her]

Why would I say no? We're all in this fleet together.

[Shounens are good company for a shounen with boobs.]

I guess you're right. Things were different on my world. Still getting used to it a couple years later.

[Ah. He knows that one. There's a bit of a knowing look when he speaks]

I see. That could colour anyone's perception.

Still, be careful. Expect the worst in people, and you'll often find that's what you wind up getting.

I try not to. Part of it is... learning to accept yourself, if that makes sense. Enough that you'll stand up for yourself when you've been wronged rather than taking it lying down.

Ah....

[A bit sheepishly] I guess I've never had the problem of being willing to take things lying down. [HE WILL HIS OWN ASS!!]

[HE SCREAM AT OWN ASS??? Well if you're sharing a body with a Noah I guess so.]

Where I'm from, they'll execute you even if you're not guilty. I thought I didn't have a choice or even a future.

I don't think that way anymore, though. [She smiles and looks away, obviously thinking of someone fondly.] Someone a little bit like you changed everything.

[IT WAS MEANT TO BE "HE'LL KICK HIS OWN ASS", BUT ALAS. NEVER TAG BEFORE CAFFEINE.]

I see. Sounds like a harsh world...

[Even if he's heard of worlds like that before, including Earth - it didn't make it any less terrible, or wrong. ]

Eh? Someone a little bit like me?

[That works too.]

It is, but we're working on it. A lot of things have changed in the past year and they'll only get better. It just takes time.

[Her smile grows.]

Yep. He's a stubborn idealist if I've ever met one. You tell him he can't do something, and I swear he'll find a way to prove you wrong.

[He smiles a little at that]

I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure if you keep at it, it will get much better.

[Not that he knows...many of the deets, but still!! GOTTA BELIEVE AND HAVE OPTIMISM]

Ah- [He gives a little laugh] And you're saying you think I'm that stubborn?

Yeah.

[OPTIMISM!!!]

Maybe, I don't know you that well. But you seem like you try to see the best in everyone, and that's the way he is.

Ah- well, I certainly try! Though I don't always succeed...

[What with people having a tendency to suck and all. Plus his own hot temper]

He sounds like a good person though. What's his name?

At least you try.

[People definitely suck. And Sheena knows her own temper is pretty terrible at times.]

Lloyd. You might've met him before. Loud idiot in red? He's kinda hard to miss.

It's better than always seeing the worst.

[He smiles]

Oh! I know Lloyd! Mostly by reputation though. [You know, thanks to listening to Colette gush about the guy for YEARS]

It is. Hate breeds hate, after all.

[Sheena's expression brightens.]

You do? Man, that doesn't surprise me at all. Like I said, he's hard to miss.

[He seems to consider that statement, as if it hadn't occurred to him before]

That's...a good way to put it. I hadn't thought of it that way.

[How much of the war at home has been fueled by hate...? A lot. Allen knew that much. He knew he was just as guilty about it. There was...a lot he hated back home. Even though he's seen firsthand what hatred can drive you to...]

Mm! There were people who knew him in the last place I was in, so I heard a lot of stories. [All good of course] Personally I don't know him too well, but he's always been kind. I can see why people like him so much.
