First Aid - Danger Shop, Friday, Period 5 [Week 2]

The Danger Shop was not a disaster zone this week. In fact, it looked a lot like Serenity Cove's beach, littered with people swimming and sunbathing and picnicking.

"Ladies, gentlemen," Hawkeye greeted, arms spread wide. "And anyone who doesn't fit into the first two categories. I'd mention you all specifically, but we have work to do. And by work, I mean that your dates await you."


In a line propped up against a log were CPR dummies, each one with unique features. The dummies themselves were identical, but they each wore a different shirt (or dress in some cases), they had ill-fitting wigs, facial hair, beauty spots and other completely moddable defining features.

Bob, Hank, Arthur, Rick, Harry, Eugene, Ralph, Fred, Herb, Melvin, Herman, Clyde, Geraldine, Margaret (Hawkeye had a soft spot for that one), Myrtle, Wilma, Maxine, Vera, Stella and Peggy were there for you to choose from.

"Before you kids get off on the right foot with your blind dates, we're going to have a little demonstration." Hawkeye showed the class, using Margaret, how to perform CPR, including assessing the the casualty, clearing the airway, creating circulation and performing mouth-to-mouth.

"Now go and enjoy your dates." He checked his watch. "Ten minutes in your date is going to have a little problem and you're going to have to perform CPR. No reason you can't have a little fun beforehand, but stay away from the guy selling bananas on a stick. I didn't program him in and the bananas, while delicious and not real, stick with you."

Alex hadn't ever taken a CPR class but he more or less knew how to do it after reading several medical books over the last few months. Still, he'd never actually done it so hopefully his 'date' would go easy on him.

Hiccup watched closely, paying careful attention, because he wanted to learn everything he could in this class.

Ignore the odd expression on his face. It wasn't the skill itself he minded. He just couldn't stop picturing himself trying to put this particular skill to use on one of the many large and hairy residents of Berk.

Dandelion wasn't paying attention to class.

Instead she was watching Hiccup and noting every suspicious thing he was doing.

Cara watched the demonstration closely, a thoughtful expression on her face. "So this is like the Breath of Life for non-Mord'Sith?"

"No, it wouldn't, the Breath of Life is different to this." There was capitalisation going on here Hawkeye, capitalisation.

"The Mord'Sith use the Breath of Life to revive the recently dead," Cara explained.

Cassidy was playing careful attention to the lecture and demonstration. When the lecture was done, she closed her notebook and vanished it so she would be ready to work.

Leda vaguely remembered learning this once when she was Florida. But she paid close attention making sure she knew it.

Emma paid close attention, jotting decent notes down on her pad of paper.

Though Ellie had been CPR trained, she took some notes anyway. It was always good to have a reminder.

This technique wasn't familiar to Joolushko, but she was fairly certain that it would work perfectly well on Interions should the need ever arise and if there were not better medical help available.
