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. )

text, private.
text, private.
[Another pause.]
I don't want a repeat of what happened just before I got here.
text, private.
( he's worried about this whole "what happened at home" business, but he also doesn't think it's really... his place to ask. )
text, private.
text, private.
text, private. > action.
Give me a minute.
[And she arrives in the clinic about 10 minutes later, looking somehow more serious and reserved than usual. It's bordering on angry, honestly, all her body language is tense and stiff.]
no subject
Donny probably paler and more tired than usual, sort of worn out from all of this. He... recognises her from the last time they spoke, moving over and raising his hand in the most awkward wave.
Wow she doesn't look happy and that fills him with gently dread. )
no subject
When she sees how tired he looks, she exhales and tries to relax a little, though she still looks tense.]
Hey.
oops sudden nap :C
( Um. Okay, so maybe not discussing this in the open is better, so he points towards an office, neither Kirian's nor Ashraf's, eyebrows raised in a silent question of whether she'd prefer to talk in there. The office is not exclusively Donny's, because there are other people in here that need to do paperwork, but he's been spending a lot of time in there. )
Um, w-would-- you like t-tea, or um-- coffee?
<3
Except not when it comes to this. To Irathients and how they're unclean. She can only hope Donny won't think that too. She doesn't want to know what being locked in the mines would turn into in this place.
She shakes her head, squares her shoulders, and tilts her head toward the office, just turning, prowling like a cat, every limb thrumming with energy as she silently stalks into the office.]
no subject
( Exhaled, tense, as he watches her proceed to the office and tags along after. The way she moves seems so aggressive, and he's never quite sure what to do with that. Once he's in there as well, Donny carefully closes the door, before indicating the desk, the chairs, in a would you like a seat? kind of way. )
Um. Yeah.
( So he's new at this. )
no subject
She can tell, in a way, that she's putting Donny off, that he's a little intimidated, but in the moment it feels good to have him that way. The feeling will pass, but when she's afraid and running for her life isn't an option, this will have to do.
Once the door is shut behind him, she ignores the chairs and desk, sticking to pacing in front of the door, before exhaling.]
You'd need to take my stats...measurements. Before you knew what was normal. Right?
no subject
( He's trying to remind himself to slow down, as much as he hates the feeling of condescension tied to it. She's on edge, and takes a second to sit on the edge of the desk, giving her free reign to keep moving. His posture relaxes a little, he gets steadier, and without even thinking he's slipping closer to Atlas, again.
Donny doesn't press for information, just waits patiently. )
no subject
When Donny sits on the edge of the desk, and relaxes, she does too, just a little, some of the tension coming out of her back, though she keeps moving, at least for a few moments, before pausing and pinning him with an even look.]
Makes sense.
[She exhales, after a moment, then starts pacing again - she can't do it, can't stay still closed up in this room and being forced to talk about this.]
Irathients don't get sick.
[It's a bad way to start, but she doesn't know how else to phrase it, she's bad at that even when it's not such a dangerous topic.]
Well, we don't show signs of it. But we can still make other people sick.
