Who: Clinic and Hospital Staff & Other Interested Parties.
What: First Aid Instruction.
When: Day 158, evening.
Where: The Yakuzen Hall, Heimdall.
Rating: PG + Possible mention of injuries/gore.

[As alluded to in his last post, Watson's organized a night of First Aid Instruction open to all interested parties. A brief introduction of the Clinic Staff in attendance is the beginning of procedings, followed by a brief outline by Watson of their topic for that evening -- the basic rules of administering first aid, in particular assessing the needs of a patient and how to procede with or without magical healing ability. After the talk, attendees break into small groups to practice what they have learnt in by simulating treating a patient, applying bandages or discussing in detail the application of their magical abilities. Finally, a light supper of tea, scones and sandwiches is served.]

Option A

Hisao has a notebook and is dutifully noting down everything as quickly and neatly as possible - he doesn't ask many questions, content to just quickly make as many notes as he can. Feel free to lean over his shoulder to read or ask to borrow his notebook once the demonstration is done or anything else that comes to mind.

Option B

Oh man oh boy oh man. Scones and fresh tea? Count him in. He can be found sitting off to the side enjoying an ample helping of both. Feel free to strike up a conversation or ask him to hold out his arm or leg so you can practise this whole 'bandages' thing.

B of course~

[ Karuta's already there, enjoying the foodstuffs, quietly snacking away. When she recognizes a face from the network, she politely waves...and continues eating. ]

Of course!

[seventeenpills]

[He waves back and smiles before getting up to say Hi.]

Hello - Enjoying the food?

[odokuro]

[ She nods enthusiastically a few times, then takes another bite from her sandwich. She's not a big talking, especially to boys, but she sticks around. ]

[seventeenpills]

It's pretty good, yeah.

[She really does seem like a quiet sort of person. Well, unless she's listing her favorite foods.]

What did you think of the demonstration? Did you learn a lot?

[odokuro]

[ Some more nods from the girl. ]

...I wish no one would get hurt though.

[seventeenpills]

You and me have the same way of looking at it, I guess. I wish no-one got hurt either, but most would tell us that's an unrealistic hope. So, we just need to know how to deal with it if it happens, right?

[odokuro]

We have...powers too. [ She lifts the heavy table in front of them pretty easily, lifting it just an inch or two then resting it back on the ground. ]

But I want to help people.

[seventeenpills]

Ah, so you're in Thor House with strength? That's a useful power. I'm in Sigyn with healing, myself. I actually know a few people in Thor with that same power - if you ever get to meet Satellizer or Chie, they're nice people.

A!

[Once the demonstration is over, Watson loosens his tie, watching the attendees break into small groups to begin practicing their new skills. Hisao's slow in joining the groups, still jotting down notes, and Watson's curiousity is raised. He comes over to join him, raising an eyebrow at the full page.]

An avid learner?

\o/

[seventeenpills]

Hi, Doctor Watson - It's good to see you.

[He looks a little sheepish. He wasn't quite at the hands on stage yet because he wanted to keep writing while the information was still fresh in his mind.]

I'm a fairly avid learner - I'm someone who remembers best after writing something down, so, I'm trying to make as complete a set of notes as possible.

[the_good_doctor]

Is that so? Well, I'll let you finish -- although, you're welcome to stop by the clinic or even leave me a message if there's anything you'd like more detail on.

[seventeenpills]

I'll be honest - at this point, I want more detail on everything. My healing power went up to level two though so I should be able to make some pretty good use of that.

....do you have any tips on not getting squeamish at the sight of injury?

[the_good_doctor]

Is that so? Maybe I should see if I can interest you in joining my interns at the clinic on a more regular basis.

Time and exposure, I'm afraid. There's -- not much more one can do than that.

[seventeenpills]

I honestly wouldn't mind that - My schedule is a little fuller now that I'm helping run the Boutique I work at but I have time in the evenings if that suits?

Ah. I was afraid you'd say that.

[the_good_doctor]

We certainly wouldn't want you to overtax yourself. An evening might not be a bad idea, if you're sure it wouldn't be too much for you.

Reading medical case studies or texts might help prepare you mentally, but there's nothing like the real thing, I'm afraid.

[seventeenpills]

It should be fine - my endurance is a lot better than it was when I first got here. And I'd be more than happy to help.

Still, I'll take that under advisement. It's probably a good idea anyway if I'm going to be doing more work in this area.

[the_good_doctor]

I'd definitely advise it -- even something so simple as volunteering at the hospital would give you more confidence and awareness.

[seventeenpills]

I've done a little volunteer work there. Hibiki and I spent some time there healing people after the epidemic. We were in Utgard for that but were able to help a few people who were still suffering afterward.

[the_good_doctor]

Then you should have no problem getting experience there -- I imagine that your help would have been greatly appreciated coming at a time when most of Asgard's healers were still recovering themselves.

[seventeenpills]

Yeah, I think so too. We were able to help quite a few people, even in just one afternoon. Especially once my power increased in level. I'll be going there more often to help from now on, when I have days off and such. But I'd like to come and help at the clinic, for sure. If my role in this war is to heal people, then I really need to be the best at it that I can be.

[the_good_doctor]

Well! We'll certainly look forward to having your assistance.

[seventeenpills]

Should I just come along when I have time or do you have preferred evenings for volunteers?

[He flipped to a blank page of his notebook so he could jot down any further instructions.]

[the_good_doctor]

Usually we're closed in the evenings, but as it happens, given how busy we've become I'm giving my interns some evening lectures this week and next. You're most welcome to join us -- that'll be every third evening.

[seventeenpills]

That sounds perfect. I'll make sure to be there.
