[The video is dim at first, but it brightens up. Whatever is going on, the lighting isn't particularly bright, but the camera is adjusting to Eden's hands, the round scars over her inner wrists flashing and recognizable to anyone who knows her. She's labeling bags of blood and setting them aside.]

So here's the deal.

After the desert crap, we're low on blood, so if you're worth your salt, donate some, yeah? I don't care if you're human or some kind of shapeshifter or you're an alien, it doesn't matter. Just come in, I'll catalog it and I'll keep it safe - I know shite happened in the desert City but I'm warding the entire lab.

On that:

This is the blood bank. This is not a bar, this is not self-service, this is not your personal fucking center for blood. This belongs to the hospital, and I do all the work. If you come in here without permission, I'll take it as permission to call hospital security.

That's me being nice. If you do it a second time, I won't be nice.

And if you're a fucking bloodsucker I'll personally make sure that shite goes very badly for you. There's the fucking Raven. Use it.

Anyway.

Save a fucking life.

Donate blood.

[charring]

I wanted to apologize for that, by the way. It really was wrong of me. It was an ill thought out moment of panic on my part and it won't happen again.

audio: (private)

[eiremagic]

Wrong, but mostly stupid.

audio: (private)

[charring]

That, too. And again, I'm really sorry. I'd donate but there's a weight requirement and I'm about three or four pounds below that. Apparently, that's a bad idea.

audio: (private)

[eiremagic]

Can be. I still mean what I said.

audio: (private)

[charring]

Still feel like I should make it up somehow. This hasn't sat right with me since it happened.

audio: (private)

[eiremagic]

Get your friends to donate.

[There. Chase would approve.]

audio: (private)

[charring]

I'll do what I can. And good luck with it.

audio: (private)

[eiremagic]

Thanks.

[fatespoken]

Couldn't you ward it?

[eiremagic]

Isn't that what I said?

[fatespoken]

Sorry. Tired.

[ Herp. ]

Good luck keeping the leeches out.

[eiremagic]

There's no luck at all there, boyo.

[fatespoken]

[ Snort. ]

I'm pretty sure that Greek nurse - the one who looks like a dead fish - is a vampire. You know the way she looked at me?

[eiremagic]

No, she just looks like a dead fish.

[fatespoken]

No, she wanted to eat me alive. I, of all people, know that look, Eden.

[eiremagic]

That's because you can't stop taking the piss.

[ the excessive use of profane language makes her wince, but liz has been giving blood since her freshman year. usually her mom's with her to provide parental consent, but parental anything isn't really required (or available) here. ]

I'll donate. I'd be happy to help.

[fatespoken]

If someone tells you to fuck off, then that's probably a sign that you should've stayed away.

[ A beat. Anyway-- ]

Why don't you contact one of the local stores? I don't know, an ice cream shop or something like that? See if they can do a blood drive.

[eiremagic]

People do that?

audio;

[eiremagic]

Yeah?

I'm Eden.

[fatespoken]

I forgot, you were never a girl scout.

Yeah.

[eiremagic]

Of course I wasn't, I grew up in the fucking middle of nowhere.

[fatespoken]

And here I was imagining you in a green skirt and sash, earning your good citizenship badge.

[eiremagic]

Once I tried to drown me younger brother in a river, I should have been the fucking queen of good citizenship.

[fatespoken]

You should meet my brother sometime. You'd like each other.

[ Um, he might be intoxicated. ]

Right, so you go to a ice cream store and you ask them: "Would you help me host a blood drive?" And you make sure you put on your cutest fucking smile.
