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.

O-negative here. Tell me when you want to meet and I'll be there. It'll be a good opportunity to get some more supplies. Medical supplies. You can save the candy for those who need a little more persuading.

Do you need anything else?

May I still offer even though I don't think I'll be compatible with anyone?

[ since she's not entirely human ... ]

Uh ... what do you wanna know? About the soulbond thing, I mean.

[ Far be it from him to call himself an expert or anything, but he ... does have experience, as it turns out.

Oh, and — ]

I guess I can donate too. If you need me to.

Tomorrow, if you aren't busy? If you come early enough, it'll be before the fishing boats come in. There's usually a bit of work to be had there.

Are you sure? There's a really good taffy...

（ though, all things considered, he can probably make his own. ）

You could always bring me lunch!

What makes you say that?

（ okay, probably non-human. and she really should have accounted for that — it isn't as if she hasn't met people who aren't human here. she'll have to keep that in mind for the future, but in the meantime maybe at least she can figure this out. someone who's the only member of their species might have a more difficult time with injuries and the like, so this will be a useful opportunity to plan for such a contingency. ）

Hi, Steve. How've you been?

（ her tone is warm — it wasn't too long ago they were making their way out of the shadowlands together, after all. ）

Anything's useful, really. How it feels, how it happened... the locals here have said that it's beneficial to keep your Shadow in check... have you noticed anything like that?

Oh! And regarding the blood — I wouldn't say no, but let's worry about that later, okay?

[Immediately taking this seriously.]

What do you like to eat?

Ohh, you know ... just trying not to fall into any gigantic name-whispering abysses. Or ... meeting people interested in stabbing. For — uh. Dating purposes, or whatever.

[ Seriously, how does he have the literal worst luck with dating? ]

I don't know about the Shadow thing, honestly, but I can tell you that it felt ... weird, at first. You know? Like, there was this whole other something that opened up. Like a path. Or a door. [ The man is not great with words. ] I can feel what the other person is feeling, and not always when I want to. How it happened is kind of a long and dumb story — we were dumb.

And yeah — yeah, okay, no problem.

O-kay. And sweets aren't really my thing. I prefer to make them for people than to have them myself. If all our cell clocks are in sync, I can be there as early as three in the morning. By the way, very off-topic, but are you much of a fighter?

My blood's not good for anyone, but if you need help with anything else for your clinic, let me know.

（ oh, no, she absolutely realizes he is taking it seriously, and so — ）

I was kidding! You don't have to do that, D.

Then I'll see you at 0300.

Why do you ask?

（ it's not like she's kept her fighting skill... entirely under wraps, mostly because she just has not been able to resist the urge to punch felix on more than one notable occasion, but she's still being fairly cagey about it. being a doctor is one thing, but a trained combatant? that's quite another. ）

Stabbing is definitely best avoided.

（ d-, do not recommend, avoid when possible. she's been stabbed too much to ever advocate for the possibility, thanks! ）

That does make sense. Would you say it's mostly been a good thing for you so far?

That's definitely the plan.

[ He's no stranger to a good ol' stab attempt either, and that hadn't been for sexy reasons either. ]

Well, it hasn't been bad, I guess. Just weird. And it's not exactly how I thought I'd find a soulmate either, you know?

But there are worse people. I mean, Eddie's not a bad guy.

[ Actually, he's quite the opposite. ]

It's a little complicated to explain, but you could say that I was a visitor to the previous world I was in.

I bleed normally, don't worry. It's just that our constitution has always been different from most people, so compatibility with others is a low possibility.

Hi, Strife. Nice to meet you!

（ not the weirdest name she's heard here... ）

I'm always on the lookout for bandages, most of what I'm using is from ripped up old sheets. With the way to Hale open again, I've had access to more high quality supplies — but it doesn't come cheap.

（ she's mostly been relying on charitable donations so far, but that can only stretch so far. she does send along a list of items: all fairly basic things, scissors and surgical suturing equipment, medical-grade nylon monofilament, blankets and splints and ABD pads and tensor bandages.

and then, at the bottom: soft plush toys. for the kids. ）

The way things degrade, it's hard to keep ahead of it all at times. Anything you'd be able to contribute would be helpful.

Oh — Eddie? He's the one with the guitar, right?

（ her entire experience with him so far. guitars. ）

( ugh, awkward. he probably shouldn't say anything, since the whole point is not putting his whole name out there, but then again, he already did that, didn't he?

really overthinking it on the social aspect here, buddy. )

Sorry. It's Cloud, actually. My name.
Anyway. Nice to meet you.

Fairly reasonable list. Got it.
I'll keep an eye out for this stuff when I'm working.

You have a preference? On animal.

( for the plush toys, anyway, though he realizes too late that it sounds...well. weird. )

[ A laugh.

Well it's not inaccurate, so. ]

Yeah. That's him. Big hair, kinda loud, guitars.

Do you have any dietary restrictions?

[Nevermind he brought food before without ever asking this.]

（ count the way that is not a good connotation for her. a visitor to a previous world, with a different constitution... but surely, naruto or sasuke would have sensed if a member of the ōtsutsuki were here...?

she's probably just being suspicious about it. probably. but she's still — ）

I see.

It may be worthwhile to have some of your blood on hand in case you get injured yourself, whether you're accustomed to combat or not. This place doesn't seem to discriminate on who it puts in danger.

（ oh no... that's cute, and tbh she'd ship it. if she knew what shipping was.

sakura, local yaoi fan since that brat konohamaru trolled her that one time. ）

Well, you could definitely do worse! He seems sweet from what I've seen.

[ candy? as a reward for giving blood? that sounds almost too simple; surely there has to be a catch. why would anyone get a reward for that? but if it is useful, he can provide that. he has plenty of blood.

he doesn't need a reward, though. especially not candy. it'll give him cavities, and that's embarrassing, a grown man getting cavities. nevermind that he hasn't had anything sweet since the festival, he still doesn't need it. ]

I can provide blood. Is there a limit on what you need?

[ he doesn't know his blood type, but he's not going to mention that ]
