First Aid for Fandom | Thursday, period 1

"Good morning," Hannibal said, nodding to the students. "This is the class on first aid for Fandom; if you aren't in the right place, you may leave, but you might want to remain regardless." He waved to a table off to the side. "There are coffee, tea, and pastries."

He smiled. "Which might be considered their own sort of first aid, knowing the reliance people often place on mild stimulants such as caffeine and sugar."

He was drinking coffee himself, as it happened. "For those of you who may not know me, I am Doctor Hannibal Lecter. I generally teach cooking or food-related classes, but I thought I would take a slight detour this semester, since this is a subject many people sorely need."

Pun fully intended, naturally.

"If you are wondering, I am in fact a medical doctor as well as a PhD. I received my doctorate from Paris Descartes, and completed my internship and recertification at Johns Hopkins as a trauma surgeon." Because high school students here absolutely cared about his credentials.

"We will be covering any number of first aid procedures and practices, but as today is traditionally for introductions, please," he gestured to them, "introduce yourselves by name, let me know what sort of place you're coming from, and tell us all what sort of experience you have in healing or medicine and what you would hope to encounter in this class. And please, all of you, feel free to rearrange your chairs and desks in any way you like, sit on the floor, or walk about, as you please."

"What's a PhD?"

Seriously, those credentials probably would have meant more to her if Peridot knew what in the universe they were supposed to mean.

"I'm Peridot," Peridot said, deciding to skip over her Facet and Cut in this class mostly because she'd rattled it off twice already this week and there didn't seem to be much point. "And Homeworld has... no organic life at all. None. So my medical experience is about the same. My function was engineering and research on the Kindergartens that our people are created in, not maintenance once they emerged."

She paused, and then added, "It would be... useful... to learn... maintenance? For human bodies. Now that I'm going to be here among them for a while, that is."

Forever. Probably forever.

"And your PhD is in....?"

Peridot didn't mean to drill you further on those credentials, Hannibal, but 'many subjects' didn't narrow things down very well, and 'philosophy' wasn't something that she really had any experience with.

"I look forward to it," Peridot replied. "I haven't seen many damaged humans before, and wouldn't even be able to pinpoint clear signs of distress. I imagine they're fairly different than the way Gems show physical trauma."

Glitching, distorted physical features, poofing, a clear crack across a Gem's... gem.

"Like, I'm Summer," she started, hand to her heart for a moment before gestures accompanied her introduction; gotta keep that dynamic movement factor going, after all. "Summer Smith. I'm from, like, Earth, but totally not, like this Earth? But my Earth is, like, totally no longer ruled by a stupid lame Galactic Federation, so that's totally yay. I have, like, pretty much no medical experience, but, I'm, like, totally going on adventures with my super awesome grampa and my dumb stupid brother all the time, and they can get, like, pretty wild, so it'll be, like, so totally good to have those skills."

"I'm Khadgar, and I come from a place called Azeroth, which I realize most people haven't heard of," he said. "Where I'm from, anyone can receive basic first aid training to tend to minor wounds and brew simple antidotes to poisons. However, those who do more serious healing are our priests, paladins, and druids. As a mage, I don't really have the spiritual connection for that. But I know that's not how it works here, and I didn't finish the training I would have gotten at home, so if I'm to be truly useful in a crisis, I think I should know more about how to help the injured."

"My name is Kaylin Neya," she said, "And I am from Elantra which is home to a number of different sentient beings besides humans. I don't know have any medical training or anything, but I can heal." When she takes the damn bracer off, at least.

"I guess they signed me up for this so maybe I can learn other things, too."

Kaylin wouldn't volunteer, but if he asked her to be his assistant, she'd agree - probably in a bit of wide-eyed uncertainty.

Shiemi didn't know all of those locations, but she did know that becoming a doctor was difficult so she was impressed. This was going to be a nice class!

Shiemi sighed, casting concerned glances at Summer from where she sat. Her roommate had been acting so odd lately.

"Ano. My name is Shiemi Moriyama. I'm from True Cross, in Japan. I am the daughter of a supply shop for Exorcists, and we deal in a lot of medicines and herbs as well. Also I garden so I know a lot about natural remedies. And we take some classes in Cram School for healing and for first aid."

"Presumably any sentient mind," Peridot mused. "I wonder how well your 'psychology' would relate to a Gem's mind, come to that."

It was science. Peridot liked science. Win.
