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. )

sobbing
( OH GOD. He looked pale but now he looks paler. )
I c-can-- I can uh, n-now?
VIDEO/ACTION
[And he cuts off the feed.
His desk is still a mess of papers, but at least he has them in an orderly fashion, and the old charts and paperwork and stacked behind his desk in boxes.
He doesn't look up when Donny shows, just flips a page in the file.]
Please, sit down.
[NOT HERE]
no subject
no subject
ACKSHUUUUN
oh god oh god did he do something wrong did he do the thing badly
what the video announcement really that bad because he knows he can't do public speaking but it seemed really important and he's sort of swaying a little when he makes it into Kirian's office, hesitating before he sinks into the chair. )
Uh, hi.
POOR DONNY
You did well. I do hope these kits help.
[He gestures, and a small cup materializes in the air overhead, spinning slightly as it drifts down to Donny. It's slightly hot to the touch, and filled with a clear brown liquid.]
I hope you like it. I'm not as adept with conjuring Earth tea as I'd like, but my father frequently drank this.
[It was slightly bitter, but sweet, and had an almost jasmine-like flavor to it.]
MADE OF FEAR
wait he did what now? Donny tilts his head, staring at Kirian for a second before he accept the tea. Spinning tea! That's kind of cool, gets a shadow of a smile that would have been stronger if he wasn't so frazzled. )
Thank you. It's-- g-good.
well tbh kirian fails at giving people warm fuzzies, so.
Finish it, if you would. You're more than welcome to sit here for a few minutes to collect yourself if need be. I only have paperwork to go over.
nonsense he is a hugging machine
( Yep he can manage drinking tea, but he lapses into silence because wow Kirian is doing paperwork so he should be quiet and sip this tea quietly and just be silent as he tries to put his brain back together. )
cold hands, slightly below room temperature heart
Honestly, I am absent for one day, and I come back to a mess.
you say cold, I say "refreshing"
( Uncomfortable, sipping his tea and feeling pretty guilty. This is closer to what he was expecting. ) W-we, um. We can-- d-do better. Sorry.
BRISK
[He takes a stack of files and puts them in a box next to his chair.]
There, now I'm caught up. You've all been busy.
SHARP
( curious, although how presumptuous that could be hits him after a second, and his gaze drops back to his tea. ) Um, that w-wasn't-- sorry.
( Nodding, but also trying to drown himself in this tea )
is this word association now because if so CHEDDAR?
[He folded his hands on the desk.]
I was able to see my sister, and a friend again, so I suppose it wasn't entirely wasted.
oh man i love word association TASTY
( Months for Kirian, years for Morgana. It seems like so many people are disappearing and coming back, so many are disappearing. He's not sure how to get his head around it. He shouldn't hope that the people who have gone home will make it back here, and yet.
Donny perks up a little. )
That's c-cool. I, um. I m-miss my sisters.
TREAT
[Gone, gone, gone. A mother, a father, an aunt and uncle, all gone.
The Dawningsuns were never the most plentiful of families, but the losses felt almost more keen because of it.
And knowing that all that remained was Tarellia, himself, and Ryel...almost made him want to forgive his cousin for his cowardice.]
TRICK
( A faint smile, scratching his jaw. ) Phoebe, Selene and, um. ( Internally he winces, but it's more just a falter. ) Asteria.
( Quel'thalas you know what he isn't even going to try to say that. But: ) I'm s-sorry uh, about your family.
TURN
I wouldn't change the past- it's made me who I am. We're stronger now, having survived.
[A smirk.]
Quite amazing what spite can do to a people.
oh no now I just have TURN TURN TURN stuck in my head
Spite was a word that fitted his sister too well. )
Yeah. It can, um. D-do a lot.
TURN AROUUUUND EVERY NOW AND THEN I GET A LITTLE BIT LONELY
[He remembered nights, days, that blurred together in a haze after the fall of Quel'thalas- a fevered dream only broken by the news that his parents had died, and the news that he would survive.
Until he was certain he wouldn't become one of the mindless undead, he had almost made peace that he would rather kill himself and leave his body out at sea where even a ghoul could do nothing.
And, true, the dragons had asked him if he would change his past, if he could. It was tempting, almost, be he understood very well that the past made him who he was now- and that changing the past could leave ripples in the timeways that could never be fixed.
It was why he was a Weaver with the Timewalkers. He understood that the past was something that could be changed, but was better preserved as it was.
And so he did what he must to survive, out of anger for those that had died, as if to almost spit in the face of death itself.]
...it can be a powerful motivator to keep from giving up.
[He looks back to the files, flipping through a chart.]
AND YOUUU'RE NEVER COMING ROOOUUUND TUUURRRN AROOUUUND
( because what had the world really done to Asteria? Who would she have been surviving? Why did she instigate pain the way she did?
He had no idea, but he feels like maybe he's giving something away. )
no subject
I suppose we would call that the difference between a man and a monster.
[He knew more than a few Magisters like that, crooked, twisted reflections of men that had once maybe been good, been right.
He knew them, and on one occasion, had killed them.]
There are many men like that. Women, as well, I suppose. It is a fine line for some.
