Announcement and Refugee Hosting in The Gym, Friday Evening

[agent-principal.livejournal.com]

The P.A. crackles to life.

"We shall be opening our doors to the poor, powerless townsfolk. They are to gather in the gym. Volunteers to help organize blankets, bedding, food, and etcetera would be very welcome."

Smith then walks down to the gym, props open the doors, and walks away. This was going to be a mess, and he felt ignoring it would be the best method to deal with it, rather than letting his head explode. Again.

[ooc: Huzzah! Townies can come to this post for their safety and warmth! Screening is disabled! Students and Teachers are welcome to organize something... but as it's an emergency, we hath not actually organized the refugee effort! Organize! Be Swift! But above all, interact and have fun!]

"Tommy Gavin, and thank Christ we've got an actual doctor around here," he said. "Even if she is a chick. Hey, can you prescribe medicine?"

Susan blinked, then tartly said, "Yes, I can. But I thought we didn't have any injuries?" She sent Fraser a questioning glance, then kept her eyebrow up as she looked back at Tommy.

"Not yet, but you never know," Tommy quickly said. "I'm a firefighter. I work at the clinic in town. I can handle some stuff but for the real shit we're going to need a doctor."

"Fine, then. I should be competent for most things," she pulled her gloves off, "although it's been a while since I've treated frostbite, which seems most likely to occur. I think I'll try to call Dr. Wilson and Dr. House again, though. Perhaps they plan on coming here soon." She smiled wryly. "Or, at least we'll get confirmation if they need to be brought in by reindeer."

"Good call," Tommy said. "Last thing we need is finding out the two docs got turned into popcicles."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

Susan left messages for House and Wilson, and then, about ten minutes later, received their return calls. "They can't make it," she said, sounding discouraged. "They're both stuck where they are, I'm afraid." She squared her shoulders. "But, I'm sure it'll be fine."

If she doesn't sound that convinced, you're probably just paying attention.

"Great. They're jerking off somewhere and we get stuck with the shit work." Tommy grimaced. "Story of our lives, huh? Okay. I can deal with the basics. Somebody comes in with a tree branch through their liver, I'm outta my league."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

"Dr. House has difficulty with his leg," Susan said stiffly. "I'm certain he wouldn't disregard an emergency for any romantic endeavour." She sighed. "Not that it matters, really, since the result is the same. As for tree branches through the liver-- it's been quite some time. I could make them comfortable, but I'm not a trauma surgeon." A thin thread of panic is underlying her words. "I'm a psychiatrist. Clinical, and I've done a good bit of GP work the last few years, but--"

"Well, let's hope no tree limbs then," Tommy said. "Unless it's through vampires. That even work on them?"

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

Susan looked disturbed. "Do you know, I'm not certain? I've only been here two weeks, and I've never even met one. How stupid of me not to ask. I simply thought I'd avoid all contact with them and be safe." She paled. "Oh, they're not likely to come *here*, are they?"

Re: MEDICAL HELP

"Like I fucking know," Tommy said. "Had one show up to the clinic the other day with two kids."

Camulus loomed up behind him, looking a bit grim. "Were you in some way maligning the abilities of Dr. Pevensie? Not to mention your language around a lady."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

Tommy looked at him. "Who the fuck are you?"

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Camulus raised an eyebrow and regarded him for a long moment with his very best 'bow before me, Tau'ri scum' look. "I am Professor Camulus," he boomed finally in his very best 'bow before me, Tau'ri scum' voice. "Who are you?"

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"What do you want a medal or a chest to pin it on?" Tommy replied. "Tommy Gavin, FDNY, Town clinic emergency response, and currently guy in charge of this shit. Now either you're some form of help or you're a pain in the ass. Right now my money's on two."

Janet rolled her eyes at Camulus. "Could you get over yourself for just one night, please?"

She shouldered her medkit, tried not to wince at her sore ribs--she'd taken a double dose of ibuprofin before heading down with spare MREs, her medkit, and possibly some things which might violate the weapons ban. Plus that damn healing device. "Hi," she said to the blond man. Anyone that got a Goa'uld mad was all right in her book. "Dr. Janet Frasier. I've come to help."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Camulus was not having a good week. He would have liked to have thrown the Tau'ri across the room. Instead, he assumed what was possibly the sickliest smile ever witnessed. "I'm only trying to help." He held up the healing device. "Far more quickly than your medicines can."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[janet_fraiser]

"Sure," said Janet. She didn't bother smiling. Or looking anything other than cranky businesslike. "Because that's what you've historically always done. Tried to help other people in a crisis. Would you like to try finding someone who doesn't know you to pull that crap line on?" She looked him over scornfully. "If you want to make yourself useful, go goddamn do something useful before the natives start getting restless."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow and gave a small, mocking bow. "As you wish." He strode off to have a word with Dr. Pevensie.

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[janet_fraiser]

Janet snorts. Hitting on the new school counselor was what he thought of as useful? Why was she not surprised.

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

About ten minutes later, Susan came over to introduce herself. "I'm sorry, are you one of the clinic aides I haven't met yet? I'm Dr. Pevensie. Susan Pevensie, the new school counselor."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

Susan very carefully took one step back. Then another.

This really wasn't about her, after all.

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Camulus stepped away from the pair and gently caught Susan's elbow with a small bow. "My apologies for that display. His attitude towards the efforts of the students displeased me. Youth or gender is no reason to dismiss noble actions."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

Susan looked down at his hand on her arm, and attempted to smile. "No, it's quite all right. Really. I know you were trying to help, Professor Camulus. I appreciate the effort."

Re: MEDICAL HELP

He dropped his hand and nodded before, as Fraser had said, trying to do something useful. However, it seemed that everything was under control. He strode among the incoming refugees mingling with the students, offering direction or a word of comfort.
