[ On the morning of the 15th, there is a network-wide ping issued approximately twenty-three minutes after the roster is released to the public. ]

Hello.

As I'm certain you all are aware, a roster has been sent to each of our devices. Given that this is yet another item on a growing list to be examined by us all, I believe it's important for each of us to come together to discuss any possible concerns or ideas that may require teamwork.

@PALPATINE and I earlier discussed the possibility of a non-compulsory meeting to sort through these issues. We agreed it would be in our best interests.

If you're inclined, please come to the Mess Hall at 19:00 in three day's time.

[ ooc: so! this will be broken down into sub-headings as discussed on the ooc plot post and utilized as a kind of "catch-all." if you think anything needs to be added at any time, please feel free to contact me through pm, at rasasvada, or on disco at morning star#3715. or, you know, add it yourself! i don't mind.

noticeably, this is self-directed! if you character wants to speak or make a point to everyone, feel free to do so. no one is policing how this goes or making introductory comments or whatever else. open floor, y'all. ]

N-no, it's fine, really... We're all pretty different, on this station.

[He tries for a smile, lowering his hands and giving a bit of a shrug.]

Anyway, it's... nice to meet you in person. I'd still like to take you up on your offer to help you out.

[reposing]

I would gladly accept your assistance.

If you wish to help me, then there's much I will need to show you. And most importantly, what you may need to do for me should we have patients in the future.

[hopefragment]

[He nods, maybe a little too eagerly.]

Yeah, please. Even if you can just show me the basics, that's a lot more than I know already.

Hopefully we don't have any patients, but...

[Just in case.]

[reposing]

I hope that as well.

Most importantly... you must know that there is the possibility that I may fall abruptly unconscious during a procedure or check-up.

[hopefragment]

Eh?

[Is that really okay in a doctor?!]

Umm... right. What would I need to do?

[reposing]

You'll need to either wake me up, or continue the procedures without me. Preferably, wake me.

I'll arrange a solution in case this is to happen, but it's looking to be inevitable, unfortunately.

[hopefragment]

Yeah, I think waking you up would be best...

[If it's just a check-up, that's one thing, but Hajime's absolutely thinking about if this guy just conks out in the middle of surgery. That seems like it would be. Bad??]

I'm guessing it's not something you can just solve with coffee...

[reposing]

I wish it were only that easy. No, my situation is not permanent, but it will make things difficult for a time. For that, I apologize. I seek no burden to others.

[hopefragment]

Oh... I mean, I don't think you have to apologize for something that's serious.

[He guesses? In either case, he just shakes his head and looks back to him.]

But yeah. As long as you teach me what to do, we'll do what we can. Right?

Have you had any other people offer to be your assistants?

[reposing]

I'm afraid you're the only one who has volunteered. Ren will assist as he can, but I've spoken to him even less than I have you.

I will... determine a simplified way for you to make sure I am awake when needed.

[hopefragment]

Oh, Amamiya... he seems like a reliable guy.

[He thinks. Mostly he's basing his opinion off the fact that he's friends with Haru and Ryuji.

He can't help but make a bit of a face, though.]

Is it really that complicated? I'm not dumb, you know.

[Just average.]

[reposing]

No, I didn't mean to imply I thought less of you. More that it may change how you think of me.

I am half vampire by my father. With that in mind, if someone was able to make holy water, a drop of that would wake me immediately.

[hopefragment]

Uh...

[...You know what. There's a girl with eyeballs on her wings across the room. He's not going to waste his energy arguing about how implausible, how utterly crazy, how brain-numbingly impossible that is.

He's tired. He just nods with more than a hint of resignation.]

Sure. Okay. So we just have to get holy water. Might not be a bad idea to just spray it all over the whole station while we're at it. Like an exorcism or whatever.

[reposing]

[good boy]

If we can find someone ordained, then they can bless the water. That could help, but I think the station may be beyond holy water.

[hopefragment]

Right. Okay. Hopefully there's someone like that.

...So are you going to, like... need to drink people's blood...?

[Is that why he wanted to be the doctor... free snacks...]

[reposing]

[why y'all so rude]

Eventually, yes. But I do not take from someone who does not agree to share.

You aren't in any danger from me.

[hopefragment]

I thought if a vampire bit someone, they turned into a vampire, too...? Or is that wrong.

[Perhaps... he could become the Super High School Level Vampire?? No, that's too stupid, even for him.]

[reposing]

It's a little more complicated than that. I would have to do much more if I wished to make someone else a vampire.

[hopefragment]

Oh... I see.

[Hm. Well. This sure is a thing to learn about someone. Not only is Alucard barely older than he is, but he's also (allegedly) a vampire. Sure.]

Well, um... I look forward to working with you.

[He holds out a hand for a handshake. He probably should have done that when he was introducing himself, but he'd been distracted.]

[reposing]

[Fortunately, Alucard is not offended. He gently takes Hajime's hand, giving it a fair shake.]

And I with you.
