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. )

( AND SURE ENOUGH in an hour he is turning up, but wow he isn't looking his best. That hair is a little bird's nest-esque, you might say. He got the address from the conversation with Ella, and is knocking quietly on the door )
no subject
Door's open!
( She calls out. )
Come in!
no subject
Hi. Um-- yeah. Is stuff o-okay?
no subject
Hey! Thanks for coming by. I just... so you guys are trying to deal with blood stuff, right? For all species, I'm guessing?
( She waits for some kind of confirmation from him. )
That's something I can help with. In a weird way, but -- yeah.
no subject
( Okay, that's intriguing, so he-- walks in a little further. And he's aware that she didn't answer his question, but isn't sure how to push that. )
Um, that'd-- that'd b-be good.
no subject
( She's not overtly secretive; how she asks is even playful. )
I promise, I won't bite!
no subject
( Right, of course, sorry, and he let's his magic swing the metal hinges to close them, hands sheepishly gripping at his shirt. )
O-okay. That's p-probably um, b-better from a health p-perspective.
( donny that was the worst joke ever )
no subject
Yeah, definitely! People's mouths are germy. They're only good for like, kissing, when you know where they've been! Anyway --( that aside... ) -- it's just that I can sort of help with the alien biology thing. Like, needing exact matches? If I acquire someone, then I can turn into them, physically, down to their DNA, bone marrow, size, optimal weight, you name it. Which seems like it'd be a good thing for donations like you're thinking, though anything I do would have to be done in under two hours. Even if it's unsafe for me -- it's necessary.
no subject
oh thank god the topic changed, but not before he looked horrified
and then he looks fascinated, head canted, reaching for his notes-- ) Uh, is it-- is it okay if I write that d-down? 'Cause, confidentiality, and stuff.
( He prefers to be over-cautious. ) I m-mean that um, that c-could be amazing. B-but-- but if you wnat to d-donate blood, it's only safe to um, d-do that-- I think once every twelve w-weeks?
no subject
To his statement on times, she shakes her head. )
No, that's not what I mean. And it doesn't work with morphing like it does with people usually. As long as I morph back to me, then to something else, you could take as much blood from me in a morph in a day as you can manage in under two hours. There is no relapse time or whatever -- my blood count in morph will always be at the healthy level it's supposed to be for that person.
no subject
DON'T EVEN THINK THEM oh god no not teasing and trolling, those are his great weaknesses.
But, ahem. Moving on from his never-ending mortification, Donny sort of... has to take a second. ) So, m-morph means you can-- like, um, shapeshift? But you uh, recover. Like reset your h-health?
( That's amazing. That's bizarre but it's amazing, and he sort of wishes Max had that same kind of protection, although he doesn't get the two hour rule. ) Why, um, t-two hours? Like uh, stress on the b-body?
no subject
I mean what nothing like that nothing at all!!! )
Mmm, it's a time limit. Morphing's not something you're born with, it's given. If I'm in a morph for more than two hours, I'm stuck. Forever.
no subject
( Or maybe yes magic. Whatever it is, it sounds complicated, and he's chewing on his lip as he thinks. )
W-well, um, you n-not getting stuck is-- m-more important than um, than tests.
( With a little smile, a bit frazzled as he thinks. ) Um, okay. We c-can probably do any um, longer-- longer observation and t-tests and whatever on p-people who don't have those um, those risks. But I think-- I think this'll b-be really helpful, if p-people are okay with you morphing into their species.
( He's not sure how etiquette on that works. Actually-- ) How um, d-do you make stuff w-work for non-human species if you c-can uh, read about them and stuff?
no subject
,small>( Which is why she cocks her head to the side. )
What do you mean, how do I make stuff work for non-human species?
no subject
( Okay hang on he is going to sit himself down and start making notes, tugging at his hair a little bit so that it looks... okay, it already looked sort of ruffled and ridiculous but he's making it worse. )
W-well, 'cause, um. If you... shape shift, you n-need to um, to know how the b-body works so you c-can um, control it. N-not-- mess something up. So if you d-don't know how their body w-works 'c-cause it's different from um, from human and w-we don't have scientific--
( wait is he asking something really stupid? ) Just, um. How d-do-- ( come on, talk ) do you replicate it, I g-guess. Safely.
no subject
You dont know everything, of course, but even people have some baseline instincts, you know? Those come with the morph. I keep saying acquire, and that's what I mean. I acquire a morph. It's like pokemon, but for genetics. I'm becoming a temporary clone of people or animal's I've touched.
( If she's intended to acquire them. Given that she's a handsy person, she doesn't want people getting the wrong idea -- she only has two human morphs, and both were given with permission (Caesar's being a sort of backward exception, since he'd acquired himself while being her). )
There's a lot of stuff that's automatic, that way.
no subject
( This really is completely different from what Max does. Donny rubs his forehead, and this might be easier to get his head around if he weren't so tired. )
That m-makes-- sense. It sounds p-pretty um, intense. ( All of that, the replication and the recovery, the counterbalance being a two hour period makes a lot of sense. )
So you could um, acquire Transports and then-- w-well you'd b-be um, p-perfect match for um, Transfusions and stuff.
( With a slight smile. ) That's really c-cool. Are you sure you're o-okay with d-doing that, though? Tests and t-taking b-blood aren't uh, fun.
no subject
I'm an old pro at them anyway. If it can help...? There's one rule, though. People have to be told what it means up front, and not to tell around. If they want me to sign something, to I don't know, say I won't be them except in the case of medical emergency, that's fine, but they have to know, and they have to say they won't tell everyone else. Anyone else.
( She doesn't want people getting the wrong idea around her. )
no subject
( A little smile, trying to be reassuring even through his own general... Donny-ness. ) We um, we c-can ask-- maybe Kirian would um, w-would write up a d-document? I m-mean we have-- lawyers here and stuff. M-mutual security type stuff? ( And, more self deprecatingly, ) Or I'll uh, scare them.
( Because he's so terrifying, obviously. ) You d-don't have to c-commit to anything. If-- if it's ever t-too much, you c-can um, stop, too.
( He's really not sure how he feels about letting a teenager make this kind of decision, but even so, it could make a huge difference in a crisis. )
no subject
( She thinks Saul does good work, but it's always unnerved her how Steph went to him and let him know about her condition before ever asking Collette.
For some things, she needs them to be on her terms. It's never felt right with either of them when it came down to health affecting... anything. )
That makes it a secret between you and me and maybe Kirian, then just the donor-recipients. Since they'd kind of be both!
( It's taken Exsilium to teach her about these sorts of secrets. It's hard to determine what's worth keeping close and what isn't... or it had been. It's getting more complicated every day. )
no subject
( Sets him off kilter, rubs him up the wrong way. Reminds of Uncle Horace, sure, but there's just... the vibe. Something in the vibe. ) He's n-not in the c-clinic. Better we k-keep it to a smaller circle, for-- the confidentiality stuff.
( Head tilted, questioning to see if that'd be okay. ) I um, appreciate you-- t-telling me. When we d-don't-- don't really know each other. ( More quietly, gaze dropping for a second. ) Secrets are uh, c-complicated.
no subject
( She hopes, since she delivers that with a smile. )
Secrets are way more complicated than I ever really wanted to be.
no subject
( Hang on, he needs to take a moment to work out words. ) Why m-me? ( Not accusatory or anything, just quiet, curious, because couldn't she have gone straight over his head to speak to Ashraf?
Donny can understand that, exhaling what might be a laugh. ) I think-- I think m-most p-people um, have them. It's-- it n-not always b-bad. ( But he can understand wanting things to be simple. Taking a breath, he offers, ) Complicated isn't-- b-bad, either.
no subject
no subject
( Softly, gaze dropping, but it's not too sad or woeful. If it means that she can trust him, then trying was worth it, even with some of the things that had gone wrong. It's something good to hold onto. )
Um. I'm-- it d-doesn't uh, mean much here, b-but um. I'm a vigilante, at home.
( Secret solidarity, right? )
