Empty Night...not again.

Jawas roll call, anyone else here?

Mom? Dad?

When I said I would have liked a honeymoon, this isn't what I was talking about DAMON!

What the hell just happened?

Hey.

I know we haven't really spoken yet. I'm Tony DiNozzo. I guess you'd group me with the ridgeway survivors.

I just wanted to let you know I've spoken to Logan and Madi, and they're both going to stop responding. Logan's got his Dad's temper. It takes a lot to get it going, but once he's there he can have trouble seeing the bigger picture. Madi's just scared. I'm not here to start defending them I'm just letting you know what's going on. I don't agree with a lot that was said on both sides. So I'm not taking one.

What I want is to get past this crap so everyone can move on. The way I see it, we're all stuck here and having people you can't even talk to isn't exactly productive. I'm keeping an eye on Madi for a while, so I don't want any of this not working stuff to come up. She isn't helping because I'm giving her some time out to get her shit together. I won't take arguments there. I'll find a job for her after that.

On that note, I wanted to ask you about security. Is there any extra help needed? In my old life I was a fed with NCIS, and I'd be good to give a hand there.

I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do around here all day.

Okay, I think the most messed up island award may go to this place.

Okay. Now that that's all over, there's an issue that needs to be addressed further to keep us all safe and at least marginally happy. So if we could all put recent events to one side for a moment - we don't need yet another debate - I'd like to talk about blood. I apologise if you were at the meeting and you're now 'hearing' this for a second time. Obviously this is more for the benefit of those that weren't, didn't know about it or were at the mercy of a particular game.

If you're somehow unaware, we have a number of vampires from differing worlds here, which does make the requirement for blood an issue for all of us. So this, as it was the other evening, is a call for all of you who are able to donate blood to please do so. Doctors Banner and Watson are on board to both take donations and monitor donors. If you are of the medical profession and are interested in helping, I'm sure they'd appreciate any assistance. Clearly we want to keep this safe for everyone, so the bigger the pool of donors, the more time everyone has to recover (there will be a safe minimum, of course, as there is for blood donations in our own worlds). I understand that this isn't remotely normal for the majority of you, but I'd like you to think about it before baulking at the idea, which you are more than welcome to do.

Being from different worlds, we do have different requirements, and there is one vampire here who unfortunately must drink straight from a person. So in addition to expressing your will to donate here, if you could please also state whether or not you would be comfortable with being bitten, that will help us to better organise things. Speaking of differences, and because omitting this didn't go so well last time I technically don't need blood to survive, it's more an issue of control. But if you'd rather your donations didn't go to me in that case, you're more than welcome to state that.

Now that the vampire business is out of the way, blood donations will obviously also be of use to anyone human in the case of an emergency. So if you wanted to donate blood to be stored by one of the doctors for that purpose, again, let us know.

If you have any questions or would like to raise any concerns - go ahead.

Regards,
Nick Cutler

One of the vampires - Gwen - requires the blood to be kept at body temperature. We found that collecting into a thermos did the trick. Elena - the vampire one - has to drink straight from the person. I'll put together a list with everyone and their stipulations - from here and at the meeting - and get it to the both of you ASAP.
