We've all had some time to settle in. Hopefully everyone's holding up all right!

For those of you I haven't spoken with, my name's Sakura. I'm both a doctor and healer and I have a little ad hoc clinic down by the docks. （ a helpful location ping follows this. ） If you ever find yourself needing medical care, please reach out and let me know. There's at least one other person here with medical experience that I know of as well, but I'll let them speak up if they want to make themselves known — and I'm happy to collaborate with anyone else, none of us can be everywhere at once.

（ paging terraria, party of bird. ）

As for my reason for addressing you all... I'm looking to keep blood on hand for medical emergencies, transfusions and any surgeries that may be necessary. If anyone is willing to come down to the clinic and give a donation, it'd be very appreciated. I promise it only hurts a little! And you'll even get a candy afterwards! While supplies last.

Those with O-negative and O-positive types would be ideal. If you don't happen to know what your blood-type is, I can run a test for you.

Thanks everyone!

（ she's almost finished, and it seems like that might have been the last thing... but a few minutes later, she clicks the feed on again: ）

I'm still looking for information on anyone who's undergone the soulbond as well. Purely for research purposes. You can reply anonymously if you'd like, or privately if that's easier. I promise anything you say will be kept confidential.

I'm not too worried about getting injured. As I said, different constitution.

Though if you find any use with my blood, then I can offer more of it.

[craters]

（ she's stuck with this, huh. she sighs, drags a hand through her hair and then just decides to lean into it.

it's nice, you know? someone being attentive to her. ）

No, no, nothing like that.

Are you planning on eating something too?

[Anon again, Alas]

[janescayre]

[Well she's certainly not offering blood, and she can't contact this girl outright. Not after that other debacle. The less that links her to Syo now, the better.

But...there was one aspect she could help with. And it's baffling even now, and maybe she could be of an extremely minor service here. Though she'd previously lambasted Sakura for asking about it, but again! Anonymity. Maybe if Sakura doesn't know where the two cents are being tossed in from, she can slither away unscathed.]

I had a soulmate.

Don't much like doctors or needles if I'm gonna be honest, but if you're needing any help — [ He clears his throat. ] — suppose if there's anything I can do, you let me know.

[ Said a little stunted, like, you know, some kind of feral beast trying to be tame and polite.

He remembers Sakura, remembers the impression she'd made on him, and thinks now that if there's some way he could be useful, well, why not? ]

[damnpire]

[He realized this puts him on the spot, but it feels rude to not just be frank.]

It’s not something I particularly care for, but I can.

[nagano]

Looking for sparring partners, that's all. It's no big deal if you can't or don't want to. That's why I'm asking around.

[ perhaps it’s that keith feels a little indebted to her. she says she’ll help shiro, y’know. whether or not shiro takes her up on the offer? jury’s out. but in the meantime – keith can offer his voice. ]

Doubt my blood’s any good.

[ half-breed alien here. ]

But I, uhm… that last part. You wanna compile research for – what? What’re you gonna do with it?

[craters]

Hi, Keith.

（ look, after her talk with shiro she has a... slightly... (slightly) better opinion of mr. fusspot over here, so her tone is actually warm and friendly. a wild greeting-by-name appears. ）

You're a fighter though, right? Would it be of use to you to have some of your blood stored in case you're ever injured?

（ she knows far too many stoic assholes, tbh. ）

As for the soulmates — I mostly want to analyze what the benefits and pitfalls are. I was suspicious at first... we've all barely just arrived, and we're being told we need to do this thing we know almost nothing about... I've spoken to more people about it since then, but I'd still like to know how it's impacting people's day to day lives. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, though.

[craters]

（ well, she'd recognize that strange accent anywhere... ）

Are you saying after everything we went through together, you don't like me?

（ you know, hunting harpies... sakura crushing a rock in her bare hand because she was pissed he was underestimating her... normal things. normal, sane people things. ）

How's your customer service skills?

（ is she being serious. is she trolling him. who knows? ）

curse you anon!!

[craters]

（ 'had'. it's not much, as statements go, but she can infer at least the implication there. had, and lost.

given everything she knows about the bond, that has to be a blow. ）

Are they no longer here...? I'm sorry.

[craters]

I have about twenty-four storage units to fill — because the containers degrade, it's a little tricky — but I'd like to have a decent spread of various bloodtypes. I wouldn't ask anyone for more than a pint.

[janescayre]

I don't think so. I can't feel her anymore.

It's fine, we barely knew each other. It was basically a huge mistake.

[craters]

Cloud, huh? Okay! Hi, Cloud. That's a nice name.

Animals? Who doesn't love cute kitties! 🐈🐈🐈

（ — almost immediately after sending that, she realizes he was absolutely not talking about that. she's so glad no one can see her blush like a cherry tomato, red right to the roots of her hair. it's been a while since she's slept, okay!! ）

Wait, you meant for the toys? Ha-ha. No, just anything that isn't scary. Bright colours are best, but I care more that they're soft, no hard edges or plastic.

[craters]

（ you are nOT ABATING HER SUSPICION!!! she frowns down at her phone, deeply considering sending a message to naruto and sasuke just for paranoia's sake, but instead: ）

Wow, you must be pretty strong! 💪

I'm willing to give it a try. When are you free? I can set aside some time.

🔒

[craters]

No, if you don't want to that's all right.

I just know you probably tend to think about yourself last...

I like gyoza, and anything sweet and syrupy! Do you know what anko dango are? Or anmitsu?

[craters]

Yes, I can spar.

I'm pretty good at it. ✌️

The trick is finding time away from the clinic, though.

[unalign]

[ noooo, she just wants to help ;; ]

I'm just finishing up a request from the notice board. I can drop by the clinic afterwards if that's convenient for you.

@kuruko

[telepathy]

i dont understand
you keep our blood?

🔒

[damnpire]

I don't.

[He was going to dodge the question in favor of simply looking in the library, but...]

What are they like?

[it takes him a while to even respond to this because anxiety.]

I am disqualified from donating anything due to illness, apologies. But if you can take some protective measures, I'm willing to be poked and prodded at.
A cure may be impossible, but something to alleviate symptoms should it progress would be nice.

[nagano]

You are? That's encouraging. I genuinely mean that.

Well, if we're going to meet for a blood transfusion regardless, what if we pushed the meet time back half an hour to get in a little exercise?

[ Kaito, just because you don't have a healthy separation between work and personal time doesn't mean others are the same. ]

[heavenstorn]

[ ...there are different types?? ]

You would need to test mine, but if it passes I am glad to give as much as I am able.

（ oh, she sees the confusion here...

and leans right into it. ）

Oh, it's a very serious test all right... Failing it could spell your doom! ☠️☠️

[craters]

No, I'm kidding, it's harmless.

A blood type test just means checking to see which antigens you do or don't have in your blood. If someone is injured and receives a transfusion from an incompatible type, it means their body will reject it and it will cause more harm than good. So, if you have type a- blood, for instance, you can only receive o- or a- blood.

Does that make sense?

🔒

[craters]

I see. That's nothing to apologize for — I understand completely.

I'm more than willing to help and see what can be done about your illness. It's not my area of expertise, but I'm not inexperienced, per se. It's possible one of the doctors in Hale will know something as well, but I can take that information to them anonymously if you'd prefer.

What can you tell me about your symptoms?
