Principles of First Aid, Danger Shop, Morning, 5/23

Elliot is seated cross-legged on a table in the front of the Danger Shop, wearing a lab coat and looking only a little nervous. When most of the students have assembled, she begins.

"Hi, I'm Elliot Reid. You can call me Dr. Reid, or Elliot, or... just don't use the E.T. voice, or I will have to beat you senseless. And yes, it's a boy's name, I'm not a boy."

"We have a lot to cover if you guys want to be qualified for Red Cross certification at the end of the term. I'm handing out the syllabus, which I stole from Red Cross of Singapore. Because we only have so much time, I'm going to kind of skim a lot of this. I also have made up first aid kits for each of you; take them, use them, love them. If they get you in trouble, don't blame me."


"The basic idea of First Aid is to, you know, keep people from dying or becoming horribly disfigured on the spot. Now, if you don't know what you're doing, you end up hurting way more than you help. So first rule is, don't do anything until you have assessed the situation and called 911 if necessary. Even if you happen to be a doctor, you call 911. Got it?"

She glanced down at the syllabus.

"So anatomy is one of those things I'm going to skim. You have bodies. They have all kinds of funky things about them. If you want to know more, there's a good Web site for you to play with loaded on those computers over there."

"And now to the fun stuff." A little gleefully, she illuminated another section of the danger shop. Three small rooms came into view, each containing a Danger Shop-generated scene of chaos. "You guys have been divided into completely arbitrary teams. Each team should go to a scene, talk out what you're going to do if you want, and then each of you should demonstrate how you would react. I know it's early and it's summer, so don't wait for everybody if there are people missing from your group."

"And when you're done with that, come back and we will play with triangular bandages. They're useful, they're compact, and they make a really decent bikini if you're desperate."

[OOC: OCD is up. Play. The scenarios are like life-size dioramas; you can interact with them, but the people are just computer-generated models. Mod them as necessary.]

Bloody brilliant plan, Peter scolded himself as he watched the badger charge them. He quickly scooped up a handful of rocks and began hurling them at the running animal.

It wasn't a talking badger after all; the darned thing had to have some instinct of self-preservation.

Throwing a rock at the badger had pissed it off, so let's throw more rocks at it?

Seras shrugged. Ah well. She had no better ideas.

She scooped up a handful of stones and joined Peter in his assault.

Peter sighed in relief as the barage of stones convinced the badger to slow its charge and turn tail to run the other way.

Right then.

He looked at Seras. "Only in Fandom would we end up fighting badgers in First Aid class."

Seras grinned from behind her triangle bandage face mask.

"Only in Fandom," she agreed, "You've got brilliant aim, though, Peter."

"You're not so bad yourself," Peter replied. "And I don't want to think about what he'd do if he hadn't decided rocks were more important than eating us."

He looked at the still sleeping people. "Guess we should start waking them up?"

Seras nodded.

"Er...any idea how to go about doing that? If all our racket with the badgers didn't wake them, they must be drugged or something."

"Briar seemed to have be full of ideas (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/874764.html?thread=41351948#t41351948) earlier." Peter said. "And he's the mage. Do you think we have to treat them for sunburn as well?"
