[it's sansa, at the sanctuary this time! because her omen is recording this, she holds her blood hound knight on a leash. he wears a handsome leather harness. for her part sansa wears a charcoal dress with ravens around the shoulders, and lady sits next to her in a matching embroidered collar. this is outside of sansa's usual wheelhouse, both literally and figuratively, and she compensates her nerves with extra poise, her hands clasped together in front of her chest.]
Hallo, this is Sansa Stark with the Sanctuary in Crenshaw. We have noticed a number of Sleepers coming into our infirmary with a strange rash very similar to greyscale.
[greyscale, the common childhood illness everyone knows about. sansa had never seen it in winterfell, as it favors warmer, wetter climates, but even in the north they told stories of the strange, violent stone men of the rhoyne, who had contracted it as adults and never recovered. this new illness reminds her very much of that. she has no reason to believe greyscale is specific to her world alone.]
They have mentioned a sudden increase in strength and stamina as well. These are the early signs of a very dangerous sickness, which can turn people into stony, mindless creatures very like greyscale does when it's contracted late enough in life. The treatment is a blood transfusion, a very large one, and we ask anyone who has noticed these symptoms to seek it here or at the Lumenarium.
These transfusions can take a lot of blood, so we are asking everybody able to come here and donate theirs. You will be fed for your trouble, and anyone may seek additional compensation if they want it. Of course Warmblood is best for transfusions, since anyone can receive it, but we welcome donations of all blood types. We have a number of healers and Blood Ministers already here to retrieve the blood safely and comfortably, but we won't turn away any more help, either.
[she smiles as gratefully as she can manage.]
Thank you for your time, prudence, and generosity. This won't interfere with our usual business at the Sanctuary, and everyone is welcome to stay and rest here as long as they like after giving blood. We hope to see a good many of you soon.
[the log for the blood drive can be found here. it's completely open and will run for most of the rest of august as needed. feel free to toplevel with whatever your character is doing!!]

[Look, they have magic, and while the chirurgeons are good they're not at blood transfusion levels yet.]
Can coldblood or darkblood be collected and transferred to someone else? I thought they became a problem once they were out of the body.
no subject
Blood transfusions are a very common practice in Blood Ministry. I imagine it concerns itself with the extraction of difficult blood types as well. A little magic from the Sleepers themselves should be enough to keep it in liquid form, at least.

[Much to his frustration, but he supposes he can't be great at everything. So he'd avoided the Blood Ministers for the most part...]
I see. I'll assist if you need more hands - I'm a coldblood myself, I don't know if you have much need of that. Though you did say you need all types... I'm willing to help in any way I can.
no subject
Thank you. I doubt we'll have enough Warmblood for everybody. If we can treat a Coldblood with Coldblood, we can save it for someone else.
[she considers a moment.]
It may be that we'll need to bring the blood to other places, and Coldblood magic would certainly be a help. And if someone should need their transfusion performed outside for any reason, I imagine Coldblood magic would be very useful in keeping the blood from spoiling.
Blood Ministry is all manner of healing magic and medicine, anything that will treat sickness or heal a wound. I should think those who struggle with healing magic of their own might find it helpful to visit the Lumenwood from time to time.
[sansa is learning medical jutsu, but some things come easier to her than others.]

[He's had to drive some off from near the house, since it's all the way out in Feed. Not to mention the occasional fights he finds himself in otherwise...]
I'm still working on learning how to use my blood magic, but I can do my best to help. And I can run and get food for those working, so you don't have to go find it yourself.
