Video: Trainwide Poll

[strawberryprotector]

 In my efforts to expand our medical supplies and capabilities, I want to be able to establish a blood bank. If you are willing to donate blood to be typed and crossed for use in medical emergencies by other passengers on the train, please reply here as I will be making a list. While I am hoping to get as many people as possible, this is VOLUNTEER ONLY. I will not force anyone to donate. Donations will happen after the next platform once I am able to secure the needed equipment and storage facilities.

I'll volunteer.

[strawberryprotector]

Thank you, Eva-san! As soon as I have everything ready, I will let you know.

[Does she like needles? No. But:]

... I'll do it.

[She's setting an example, okay?]

[strawberryprotector]

Thank you, Nita-san. I'll make sure it's as painless as possible for you.

[10billionpercent]

You can have my blood if you want it.

[strawberryprotector]

Great! I'll let you know when I'm ready to get started.

[callmegladio]

If I must, sure.

[strawberryprotector]

Thank you for agreeing. I will make sure it is as pleasant as possible for you.

[sobothersome]

Uh... no.

My blood won't be compatible with... anyone.

[strawberryprotector]

That's fine, it's a volunteer basis. I won't force you to do it if you don't want to. But just in case it might make you reconsider, your blood would be stored strictly to be used for you. Ideally I'd like to have a personalized supply so that any individual will only be given back their own blood in case of a medical emergency.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Sure, I'm game; I'm kind of curious what my blood type is anyway. Just let me know when and where you need me.

[strawberryprotector]

I'll be purchasing the supplies for the next platform arrival, so it'll be after than.

[tactlesstantei]

“Sure, I’ll do it.”

[strawberryprotector]

Thanks! I'll put your name on my list!

[blue_ice]

Very well, I'll do it.

Type A positive.

[strawberryprotector]

Wonderful! Would you be willing to let Nita-san test you for compatibility with passengers that are A pos from other worlds as well?

[unholyandbroken]

I'll help.

[strawberryprotector]

Thank you.

[laurefindil]

I think I will volunteer to donate my blood. Not for my use, as I would not require it back, but it occurs to me that my blood could be used to heal any of the other Elves from Arda. Provided that Nita's typing magics do not indicate otherwise.

I am at least distantly related to them, so hopefully not.

[strawberryprotector]

I am optimistic that Nita-san's magic will prove helpful in that situation, then. Thank you for your willingness to donate!

[myblueskies]

I can help! How much blood do you need?

[strawberryprotector]

To start with I'll only be drawing one bag per donor. Roland-san raised a good point about the blood only keeping for 42 days, so I don't want a huge supply going bad. Plus, it's not healthy to take more than one bag per person every few weeks. But I will put you on my list, Romeo-kun, thank you!

[schrodingersghost]

That's an awesome idea. Are you some kind of doctor back home?

[But here Danny makes a face.]

But... I'm going to guess that me volunteering for this is not a good idea.

[Also Danny may have forgotten that this is Ichigo's first time seeing him as a human.]

Re: [Video]

[strawberryprotector]

Woah, you actually look different back in your body. [He assumes Danny is like him and can leave his body at will.]

It is entirely up to you. If you choose to participate, only you would get your blood. There's a reason why I'm wanting a personalized supply, I'm not sure my blood would be safe for anyone else, either.

[adropofsunlight]

I know this might make me sound stupid. But when you talk about a blood bank you mean you give blood and it gets put in a bank?

[strawberryprotector]

It's kind of like that. What it'll be is I'll insert a needle into a vein in your arm. There is negative pressure in the bag attached to the needle that will pull blood out of you into the bag until it's full, at which point I'll remove the needle from your arm and bandage the site. Then the tube connecting to the bag gets clamped off to keep it sealed, the bag gets labeled with your name, and put in a specialized refrigerator that will be locked to medical staff only. And if, god forbid, you get hurt badly enough to need blood replaced because you've lost more than your body can replenish on its own, there will still be one sterile needle on the bag that can be inserted back into a vein on you and the bag can be hung on a pole so that gravity assists the blood in leaving the bag and going back into you. Does that help it make more sense?

[soldier_blade]

I'll sign up. My type is O Neg.

[strawberryprotector]

Great! I'll put you on my list.
