Hello.

[On screen is a pleasant looking young woman with short blonde hair and red eyes that might be dimly glowing, or is that a trick of the light? Something about the way she's speaking - in a clear English accent - has the air of someone who's practiced this speech beforehand.]

My name is Seras Victoria, it's my first time addressing the network here so nice to meet you all.

I'd like to talk about another particular issue of resources on the moon, though this resource is er... a little different from the others.

Some of you may be aware that werewolves aren't the only supernatural creatures living among you. Some of us are vampires.

[She won't name any names, respecting the privacy of those who would rather not publically announce what they are.]

I'm asking if anyone here would be willing to volunteer to donate blood specifically for the vampire population. There would be no biting involved Jan and it would never more than once a week, depending on how many people volunteer.

[Seras smiles hopefully.]

I know it's possible that we could make a supply run to a hospital or blood bank somewhere using the transport system but I'd rather not take it from where it might damage lives. We could do with getting the medical equipment to collect and store the blood however. Bags and a fridge for example. If anyone with medical knowledge could help that would be appreciated.

To any other vampires out there, I know a couple of you but if you'd like to contact me, privately if you wish, to have access to whatever we manage to organise, please do.

[Added on later to the post]

Erm, when I said once a week, it would really be a month. My mistake.

I really couldn't tell you. I try not to think about that kind of thing too hard.

[bloodthirsts]

Well that's something that's going to keep me up in the mornings.

[She sighs, then perks up.]

So how have you been, Mike?

[fullmeasure]

Sorry.

[he's only half sorry]

As well as can be expected. [he considers, then gives a shrug] There's a few people here I know from home. Something of a pleasant surprise.

[bloodthirsts]

That's very lucky, I think it's rare for people to find those they know from home - and those that you get along with.

[fullmeasure]

I guess I am pretty lucky.

How about you? Hanging in there?

[bloodthirsts]

Yes, thank you. I actually met a friend from my own world the day you arrived. Having him here has helped and I think once I have a blood supply sorted things will be fine.

[fullmeasure]

I'm glad to hear it.

Let me know if you run into any problems getting blood. I'll see what I can do.

[bloodthirsts]

Oh, thank you! It's good of you to offer.

[Given how very odd it must be for him.]

I have a few volunteers so far so we'll see how we do.

[fullmeasure]

[Mike's trying not to think about it too hard]

Good. Well, keep me updated.

[bloodthirsts]

Of course.
