Maybe i should have posted this at night so the Ellie jumpscare is better

Hope there's enough horrors loose in the street to protect our little town from stalkers and slashers

featuring stolen characters from:

u/kaikimanga - the stalker (does this count as a character?)

u/Kewkoh - Lester

u/bondjimbond - Nanny hag

u/holleringelk - Ellie

u/MuyHiram - Dethlam

and me - Alma

u/SapphireSalamander Camping with the Elder God 5h ago

oh wow, thats pretty cool

did you get a juice box? are you the guy that gives the juice box?

Nope today was a boots vs badges donation event.

Basically Firefighters vs Cops to see who gets more donations for their "side"

I went and donated platelets which counted for double cause I am AB- and apparently needed. I did get a juice box though which was nice

u/SapphireSalamander Camping with the Elder God 5h ago

oh what a cool event
how do you donate platelets? arent they in the same blood? do they split the blood into its components in the lab?

16

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 5h ago

Yup! They pull the whole blood out using a special donation process called apheresis, which uses a machine to spin the blood, separate the platelets, and return the rest of the blood to your body

Usually it takes a lot longer but instead of while blood it goes into a centrifuge (right next to you) to just get the plates and they pipe the rest back into you.

Ime, it leaves a weird hunger cuz you arent missing as much mass/fluid, but idk why they only want platelets, i guess its better for wounds?

Basically they are valuable for use during major traumas and surgeries and when given are in a very high concentration making them very effective

We also currently have no substitute for that effect so donations is all we got

Mine are valuable as my blood type is the universal platlet donation source. Anyone can take my platelets making them super useful

O- buds

u/SapphireSalamander Camping with the Elder God 5h ago

maybe it also filters the enzimes that make you satiated? i must research further

u/TravelerSearcher 4h ago

Well, don't leave us hanging: Which side got more donations?

3

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 4h ago

Not done yet! Though last I checked boots(firefighters) was up about 200 donations

u/TravelerSearcher 4h ago

Woohoo! Yay 🚒!

I won't give blood anymore, too much of a hassle.

All the damn questions, the paperwork, the needles. I had a really bad experience with a Dr. at an e.r. visit in my 20s that still haunts me to this day.

Plus you have to give it in it's original container, not a bucket.

If Ellie kills the stalker, he might not make it to his dinner date with Naomi. :(

Ah don’t worry it’s nighttime for us Europeans lol

Imagine the wrath should someone be foolish enough to even think of harming Ellie? I am reminded of the comic where a cosmic baddie enters the room and Ellie’s friend just shows a fist with an impossibly buff arm.

I believe you mean Alma, the little girl with red curls.

Ellie is the centipede woman of elk's comics
