[audio] @riku; testing recovery limits [open]

Hey, this is Riku.

Between the ferry sinking, the loss of some supplies and a bunch of newcomers to get up to speed, I know we've all got a lot going on.

It could have been a lot worse. It wasn't because a lot of you stepped up to help. That's exactly what's going to see us through.

...So, thanks.

[ He pauses to rub his hands together, the resultant rasp could be anything. ]

Not to rain on our parade, but the crash got me thinking. Specifically, about dealing with injuries.

If anybody can teach basic first aid, I think everyone would benefit from learning.

[ There's a soft crackle, wind skimming across the tablet's microphone, a bit of a shiver in his voice: ]

For the ones using magic or other abilities to heal others, knowing what limits being here has imposed on those abilities is hard enough without finding out in the middle of an emergency.

I have an idea how we could test these limits in a pretty controlled environment. Contact me if you're interested.

[ He already feels like he's been talking too much, but there's a little more to say: ]

If no one's heard about it yet, we located an armory to the east over the river. There, you'll find weapons, knives and swords, stuff like that. In the basement is an area for training and target practice.

Aziraphale did most of the work, but there's a bridge over the river now. I left a torch at the armory. Should make it easier to find.

If anyone can figure out how they made that building practically invisible, might be worth putting it around a more central location in case of an attack.

That's all I got.


(Appended to the message is a list of respondents and skills they're willing to teach.)
Rosalind Lutece: first aid (lesson in exchange for 1 hr lab assist)
Soldier: basic field medicine
Jason Grace: first aid, improvised first aid kits
Clarke Griffin: advanced medicine, long term care
Matt: first aid
Daylight: Galateion first aid
Javert: wound dressing, stitching

Other stuff to think about
- everybody should carry first aid kits
- save rags & cloth scraps for bandages & splints
- central medical area?
- (Bruce) ask Will about an alarm for medical help

I know a fair bit about first aid. And hemorrhages, actually, but let's hope we shan't have to deal with that. It's not particularly difficult. I'll teach you-- and anyone else who wishes to learn-- for my usual price.

[That is: an hour as lab assistant.]
originallutece: ie fucking obnoxious as hell (talk; carries herself like a queen)

[personal profile] originallutece 2019-10-05 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Assisting, thank you. And you're welcome.

What would you like to start with? And more importantly: what do you know already?
originallutece: sending you back where you came from, STOP JUGGLING (neutral; considering)

[personal profile] originallutece 2019-10-05 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . all right. We'll begin with basic disinfectant, then, and bandaging others. We'll move on to things like stitches and setting broken limbs later.

How good are you with delicate work?

Depending on what this idea of yours is

Look. I have a whole lot of questions that I don't wanna ask, so I'm just gonna start with the worst one and work my way back out of red alert. You don't get a say in this.

[Masaomi takes a very long, very deep breath.]

So what's this about an invisible armory?

[Twice in one week. This is getting to be a habit the Soldier doesn't want to get into. At least it knows Riku from the exploration. Still making it private, though.]

I can do basic field medicine. Find injuries, bind and immobilize, stitching. Recognize concussion and infection. Nothing about long term care.

No price.

[Because it heard Rosalind's message, and wants to be clear.]

Why would anyone need to benefit from patching people up or showing how to patch other people up

[The idea of asking for something in exchange for first aid skills (any of its skills, really, but field medicine even more so) really doesn't compute.]

[personal profile] worthallthis 2019-10-05 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I have lots of free time.

[Lots of it. Made more pointed by including actual punctuation. The Soldier is very bored a lot of the time.]

Learning new things is good though

I think the teaching of basic first aid to as many people as possible is a good idea. Healers are great and all but sometimes you're not going to be around one and have to fend for yourself.

Do you know anything about this armory aside from the fact that it was invisible? Mostly concerned that whoever it belongs to might come back to check in on it.

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-10-05 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Masaomi may have unconsciously let loose a breath of relief at the words "no firearms", but he won't be admitting to it anytime soon. The fact that this armory and the weapons inside it aren't actually invisible is a much more acceptable and all-around less terrifying replacement topic.]

Okay. Cool. Throw a camouflage rug over the armory roof. I can get that. You don't want the ax murderer to find the building full of axes.

[Except...]

Unless the ax murderer doesn't need axes because he's got freaking magic! What?!
mellowyellow: (i will not strip to country music)

he's trying.

Magic! I'm going to magic. You said people use magic!!!

An armory? Excellent work, young master. Is there any indication whether this is something that has always been there, or is it perhaps a stash left by some previous group that was reset?

—Invisible, or camouflaged?
