[The video crackles and pops for a second while Claire sets things as she wants, tablet propped up against a window. She sits a way away from it, her upper body showing. She's still wearing the coat she got when first waking up in town, her hands stuck in her armpits - she still hasn't found gloves, even if she wrapped her hands in plastic wrap the day before, and kept them on the inside of her coat as she walked..
Still, she smiles, something tired in her eyes.] Hello, Norfinbury,
If we haven't met yet, my name's Claire, and I'm new in town.
[She moves a hand to wave at the camera. If you look closely enough, you can still see faint traces of blood on her fingers, even though she did her best to scrub it off.] I come to you with a couple of things. If you don't know, I am an ER nurse, and since I arrived I have been trying to get some supplies together to be able to help if someone gets into an accident. So far, I have found needle and thread, and I am getting some more of that tomorrow. I have some sterile bandages and antiseptic wipes, as well as scissors. If you have anything that you're willing to part with, let me know. I'm most looking for surgical gloves, bandages, surgical tape, gauze, closure strips, antibiotic ointment, hydrocortizone cream, forceps, a penlight, thermometer, stethoscope, and cold or heat packs. A scalpel and painkillers would also be very useful, but I don't imagine anyone can let go of them if you've got them.
Oh, some warm gloves and a hat would also be nice, but that's just for me.
[She pauses, looking down. She's been here three days, and already has faced a pretty dire emergency, and is about to walk straight to another one.] I know it's a lot, and I don't ask for anyone to give me anything they want to keep. But just in case, if you find any of these things in the house you're staying in, keep me in mind. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, we can trade if you want, just tell me what you're looking for.
[Biting her lip, she smiles a little nervously at the camera.] I'm headed to the hospital and will be there in a few days. If there's anyone on the way that has anything they're willing to give me, or trade me for, please let me know. And obviously, if you need my help, let me know about that, too - privately, if you prefer. My inbox is also always open.
Thank you.
[She cuts the feed, and at the end of the message, she attaches a list, as a reminder.]
