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.

（ oh, did we stumble into 'too much about emotion, must flee' pushback from the local archetype with which she's all too familiar? sakura suppresses a faint smile. boys. ）

I'm sure it will. Thank you, Keith, I appreciate your candid responses. Do you mind if I share this information with others, without your name or circumstances attached? It might help people to know that there is at least one proven instance of the bond helping with a Shadow, too.

[ yeah, so, yeah, so? emotions are Hard and keith would very much like to avoid feeling squirmy and warm over his own text bubbles. his hand is metaphorically hovering over the eject button, but he can spare a few more seconds. ]

Sure, okay. [ a beat of hesitation and then: ] I’ll let you know… if there’s a change with my Shadow. I don’t want people banking on my experience if the reprieve doesn’t last. Would feel like a bait and switch, you know?

[craters]

Mm. I think all we can really do right now is gather information, with the understanding that it may not be complete, or necessarily accurate for anyone.

（ but, she'll take one small mercy on the boy — ）

I'll let you go for now. But please reach out if you need me, okay?

[spaceassassin]

[ sakura is kind. sakura is good. but keith is a stubborn fool more often than not when it comes to seeking help from others. truly a toss-up if he’ll take her up on the offer when the need arises. ]

Yeah, okay. [ a pause. ] Thanks.

[ and then the line is closed. not one for polite goodbyes, it seems. ]
