joint video post: announcing free first aid kits and clinic stuff! by Donny, Steph, Ella and Flora

( THE SETTING: the setting isn't exciting. I mean, it's the clinic and it looks extremely clean and well organised, but that's probably more a relief to any observers than exciting. Donny is himself, dressed in his scrubs, sleeves of the long shirt he wears underneath rolled up so that the tattoos and metal bands around his forearms are visible. He'd look sort of badass if he didn't also look a little bit green.

Fortunately he is surrounded by attractive people and first aid kits! YEAH. AWESOME. Ella is on his right, Flora as his left, although they're positioned on one side of the camera. Almost like they are keeping room for something. )

Um, h-hey. I'm-- I'm Donny, I um, I help in the-- the c-clinic? With-- supplies, and coordinating uh, stuff. ( There's a long pause, and he glances to Flora, fumbling with his words for a second before he can put something together. ) Um, just-- we just wanted to announce that we have um, m-made first aid k-kits for all the Transports. I think-- some of you p-picked them up at the m-meeting

( he's making a conscious effort not to fidget, but he looks so uncomfortable, and there's a reason he doesn't... do video posts. This time he's chewing his lip, glancing at Ella for a second before his gaze drops and his fingers curl towards his palms. )

If you haven't g-got one yet, if you c-could um, please come by the c-clinic. It'd b-be-- be good to get um, everyone checked off the list b-before the day n-new Transports arrive. And-- yep.

( Oh what's that? Donny seems to look horrified for a second, before Stephanie steps on camera, holding a first aid kit and modelling its contents the way you might see a car or a fridge or another fantastic prize modelled on a quiz show. Stephanie, please.

She even has a suitable 'game show model' smile, though it turns into a sheepish grin about a third of the way into her little demonstration.

With that ruined, she steps up so she's closer to the camera, putting an arm around Donny's shoulders as she addresses their audience. Donny would like the ground to swallow him up and it shows. ]


Sorry, they dared me to do it. [No they didn't.] Hey, everyone, I'm Steph, and I'm here to help you learn how to use these handy little things, if you'd like. Well, there are a few other people who can teach you as well, but I'm the cutest.

[Donny is looking horrified still (THIS IS A SERIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT), but Steph is all smiles.]

Anyway, most of this stuff is pretty simple, but if you'd like to learn your way around basic first aid, there are some classes you can sign up for, either by replying here, or coming down to the clinic whenever you're free. [a beat, to let that sink in, then:] That's it from me, have a good one, guys.

[And with a little salute, and a pat to Donny's arm, she moves off screen. There's sort of... trepidation and concern in how he looks to the others, now, waiting for them to chip in. ]

Ella is trying to smile next to Donny. She’s been slightly under the weather -a lot, actually- but hearing him make an effort and kind off flail at it does wonders for her mood. Maybe she’s a bit of a bad friend. Sighing, she takes a step forth as she holds a kit up. ]

It’s free, of course, and we will replenish it whenever you need. It has a bunch of useful stuff, both for treating whatever little nuisance you might have and prevent something serious to get even more serious before you can get help.
[ A beat. ] And of course, you should totally come to the Infirmary if you really need to. Having a kit will solve some problems, but here’s where we make sure you get better.

[ She glances at Flora. While Ella can talk for hours, this is a joint effort, so she’ll bite her tongue. For now. ] [She appreciates the self-restraint, Ella. Donny looks at her and she flashes him a warm and encouraging smile. She’s really proud of him for doing this and taking initiative. When Stephanie makes her display, Flora tries to look stern, at least for Donny’s sake, but it’s clear she’s trying very hard not to laugh. She manages it. Somehow. Barely. Boy, does she ever love working here, sometimes. By the time it’s her turn to speak, though, she smoothly takes her cue and is quite composed, if still smiling.]

If for some reason you’re unable to pick up a kit, arrangements can be made to have them delivered to you. We’re here to help, so just let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.


( Thanks, ladies. BUT BEFORE THEY WRAP THIS UP, Donny kind of shakes himself out of his state of I HATE PUBLIC SPEAKING to add, )

We're-- we're t-trying to uh, make sure we have all our b-bases covered for um, Transports that aren't human. C-cause-- I guess m-most of our knowledge and equipment is human... human f-focused. And-- yeah, any help p-preparing would be great. We have some other staff who aren't human, if you'd uh, f-feel-- feel m-more comfortable talking to them. Galadriel and-- there's also blood d-donations and-- Yeah. You c-can um, always ask us for m-more details and stuff. Thank you.

( Oh God can they turn off the feed now please turn off the feed-- thank God, Flora bounds forward and turns off the device. )


( OOC: Responses will come from Donny and various other clinic folks!
You also don't have to play out your character receiving a first aid kit! These losers will try to make sure every transport has one ASAP, delivering if they must. THEY WILL HUNT YOU DOWN TO GIVE YOU YOUR FIRST AID KIT. But, you know. Politely. )

Yes, it is a shame. I think you'd look very nice in thigh-highs and pumps, Kaneis.

[Flora will just help herself to a lollipop, don't mind her.]

I know, you missed a chance of a lifetime.

Though really, that Donny guy makes a good face for the clinic.

Maybe next time.

[When he mentions Donny, though, she smiles very warmly.]

Yes, he does. I'm really proud of the work he's done, that everyone else has done.

"Everyone else" includes you too, Kaneis. Everyone's been working really hard.

I dunno, my contribution has been charming women for money and handing out lollipops.
Not exactly the kinda stuff you mention at appreciation banquets.

[She clears her throat studiously.]

It probably wouldn't be my first choice in how to get funds, but I doubt very few of us are doing our first choices for anything, right now. Besides, you were hanging out lollipops while doing all of those forms. Kirian assigned them to you, you can't pretend that that wasn't a big job.

[She's maybe grinning a little, but she is being completely sincere, here.]
wilder: (who cares about details! (sheena))

[personal profile] wilder 2013-10-28 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's right. It's how we got all those vaccines- those things are not easy to steal, so I spent some time with some ladies and got the means to pay for it.

And Kirian assigned me that job because he didn't feel my charts were up to snuff. That's a punishment, not a big job.
showmeyourwreath: (❁ Euptellea)

[personal profile] showmeyourwreath 2013-10-29 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a really big help, then! And besides, it's something that would have had to be done, anyway. Even if it wasn't exactly fun for you, we needed that information, and now that we have those vaccines, I can make at least few more of them. So, they were both really important things.

[She scratches her cheek, smiling.] Thinking about it, it's hard to think of punishments that aren't really things that we'd do anyway, actually...and since you still did them, they still count.
wilder: (oh yeah...excuses)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-10-30 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[...stares at her. Not even gonna address the rest because one of those statements is just so ludicrous.]

What? Are you kidding? Of course it's fun. It's a blast!

If the clinic hadn't hired me? I probably would've applied to the brothel!

B-brothel?

W-well...um. [AHEM.] I'm really glad things worked out the way they did, then!
