 Ichigo Kurosaki of purple team here. I would like to establish a blood bank for the train with a personalized supply for each passenger. In order to store the blood refrigerators, it would mean sacrificing one of the four recovery rooms. Being that this is for the good of the train, would there be any objections from you all?

From my understanding from listening to Eva and Ichigo's discussion, the bed will still be there and available. If we need it, we can still use it.

Plus, it will be close to hand.

Personally, I don't see a down side. At least, not after listening to Eva and Ichigo.

[ooc: And apparently somebody named Evan. *facepalm*]

Close at hand?

Glory, we've people here who can fly, teleport and use magic. You're telling me they can't set up a spell that'd just pluck the blood bags from storage into the hands of a waiting medic faster than I could blink? Same with teleportation magic. It's instant.

The downside is that we're wasting space, in a room made for recovery, when we have store rooms.

If there are people who can do that and are willing, I would love to talk to them. They would be fantastic resources until we can get a medical supply car on this train. Curufin-san and I have both put in a request for one.

[callmegladio]

Then talk to them.

And good luck with the request. The train probably has a long list of them, and this isn't of vital importance when we have healers and potions that take up less space and do the same thing.

[strawberryprotector]

Potions are a finite resource and healers are people who run out of energy and need care just as much as the rest of us.

[callmegladio]

And so is blood. You want a couple bags? What happens when you need more? What if that's not enough?

It's all finite. But one potion can do the same as what a healer can or several bags of blood. And take up less space.

[strawberryprotector]

Then why can we not have both? And what scientific proof can you provide that these potions have no side effects and are safe for all passengers on the train? What will you do if we encounter a weapon or a substance that causes a bleeding wound that cannot be healed with a potion or magic? Would you let a fellow passenger suffer?

[callmegladio]

Because they're just energy drinks, kid. That's all. But Noct can give them a 'boost'. It's no more a threat than a healer doing their healer thing.

[strawberryprotector]

Energy drinks don't treat blood loss. Neither does magic healing. And past a certain point, the body cannot recover lost blood on its own.

[callmegladio]

You're not from my world. Potions can help a lot. At the very least can help long enough to get what you need from where you want.

But... there are alternatives I've been considering. Expensive, but good in a pinch.

Anyway, that aside, I don't think we've had many dying from blood loss here. How many, exactly, are you expectin to have to treat for that?

[strawberryprotector]

I don't exactly see the train handing out armor, and it's alarmingly easy to take arterial damage if you face an enemy or predator that knows how to maim or kill efficiently.

[callmegladio]

I'll say it again... how many people are you expectin to have this happen to?

Because so far, there hasn't been many who've been that critical. Died, yeah. But people come back from that. Hurt, for sure. I was too. Lost a lot of blood. Potions and healers helped me just fine, no need for blood transfusions.

[strawberryprotector]

Ideally, extremely few to none.

How many have died? Have there been any long term consequences? Repeated death is not good for mental health, not to mention there could be medical repercussions. Death should by no means be a medical treatment option.
