03; [open] first aid + rescue training

[schild]

Who: Ryan Brown and YOU! But especially those who signed up in his last post!! But seriously anyone is welcome. (You can even handwave and say your character was there)
Where: Locke City Community Center (idk there's probably more than one)
When: Sunday Afternoon
What: The much awaited first aid and rescue training thing is here.

[ HOW THIS WORKS: This is an OPEN POST!! So feel free to have your characters mingle and tag around. Private conversations will have to be taken outside (my, how subtle.) I will try to tag everyone!! Even if it's just Ryan saying hi. He's very social, he'll want to make sure everyone is doing ok. Also, even if your character didn't officially sign up, it's not too late to say they found the signup sheet or saw the post and decided to go for it. I'm working under the assumption that Ryan came up with the date early in the week and messaged everybody. It probably went something like this:

Ryan here! Our first (heh) First Aid and Rescue training is at 13:00 at [address]. Bring friends! :)

Anyway, pick a prompt and do your thing.

A) SETUP: People who volunteered to help set up are here with snacks and stuff, getting everything ready. Likewise anyone who decided to show up early will get to stand around and be talked into helping out, dammit!!

B) LECTURE/TRAINING: What it says on the tin. Ryan and the people who offered to help him will be talking about stuff to do in emergencies, then offering some basic exercises like CPR training, how to put pressure on wounds and make compresses... It's up to you if your character is paying attention or just slacking off, daydreaming about sandwiches, or really invested in Ryan's "Team Dad" t-shirt. I'm not gonna write down a lecture because it'd be long and I'm not actually certified to do any of this so shhh, use your imagination.

C) POST TRAINING MINGLE: Where the magic and free food happens. Everyone's just mingling, having snacks and chatting. (For the record, there is soda, veggie/chicken sandwiches, cookies, etc.) Maybe your character is like "wow, I learned so much!" maybe they're like "wow, I fell asleep!" I don't know. It's up to you, go be the social butterfly you were meant to be.

That's it! Have at it!

{ It's too late, Alan, senpai noticed you and now he's gonna walk up and talk you into helping and wow-- that's a sweet jacket. ]

Nice jacket. Alan, right?

[ That jacket though... Where's he seen it before? ]

[wirsinddiejager]

That's right. And thanks, it's pretty awesome. And not haunted, despite what some people might tell you.

[Just because you remember dying while wearing a jacket doesn't make it haunted, right? There's no way Karson can be right about that.]

[schild]

Nice to finally meet you, Alan.

[ Welp, someone's gonna have to schedule an echo for this one. ]

They think it's haunted, how come? Those're wings on it, right?

[ "Wings of Freedom..." or something like that? Maybe?? ]

[wirsinddiejager]

You too.

[It's the shingeki echo train, choo choo!]

Ehh, that's just something stupid Karson was talking about a while back. I got the jacket as an echo, and he thought that means it's haunted.

[He rolls his eyes at the idea and at Karson in general. What a moron, right?]

[schild]

Ooh, I'm kinda jealous. I'd ask for a closer look but if I tried yours on I'd break it, huh? [ Too bara for this world... ]

Karson is that... kid whose cellphone I broke, right? He's got like, a dog named Crab?

[ He didn't actually, Ryan was completely not to blame for Karson being a huge klutz. But Ryan is too nice for life and actually bought him a new phone, jesus. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

Yeah, that wouldn't be a good idea. I can't exactly get a replacement. [Except the jacket would probably just reappear, good as new, if it got torn up. Echoes are weird like that.]

The crazy guy who yells a lot of nonsensical shit. [Stop describing yourself, Alan.] He gets these stupid ideas and never shuts up about them. I'm pretty sure he still thinks the jacket's a ghost or whatever.

[schild]

Heh, right. [ Still he feels like maybe there was one in his size...? ]

He doesn't seem so bad. A little high-strung maybe, but then apparently he can't sleep...? [ And he's always trying to kill/injure himself, there's that too. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

Apparently the lack of sleep is his superpower. It's really freaky. [Actually said in a sympathetic tone. Karson might be a pain in the ass, but he's still kind of a friend, and that is some nasty shit he's having to put up with.]

[schild]

Yeah, what a thing to wake up to. Can't imagine what that must be like... [ Even titans sleep at night! Hahaha most of them right. ]

Figure he could use the help, y'know? [ He's like a very angry you, Alan. And much pissier. ] Even if he thinks your sweet jacket is haunted.

[wirsinddiejager]

Well, I tried to help him, bu it didn't work. He went to sleep, but just woke up right away.

[schild]

If it's an echo, I guess it wouldn't matter what you did. But what a weird power to get... What good would not sleeping even do someone? He's obviously still exhausted by the end of the day.

[wirsinddiejager]

No clue. But apparently I steam sometimes for no reason, so who even knows. Maybe we're all just going to get stupid useless bullshit.

[schild]

Oh! [ Oh!!! Just like Bertl!! But that's supposed to be their secret so... ] You sure it's for no reason? Most of these are triggered by something. Y'know, like how I steam when I heal.

[wirsinddiejager]

Well, uh...I guess I was pretty angry? I was kind of yelling, and then Octavia said there was steam. I don't know. It only happened once.

[schild]

Maybe it happened 'cause of that. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've heard.

[ Bertl steams when he blushes too hard, and anger is kind of similar, after all... ]

[wirsinddiejager]

I guess so. And it might connect to the healing thing or something, but even then it still seems kind of random.

[schild]

Your wounds start giving off steam yet?

[ HAHA, it sure would be random if you didn't know titans give off steam. But Alan's just a kid, he... probably doesn't need to hear he might not be human anymore. Yeah, great choice, Team Dad. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

Uh, no. Not as far as I know, anyway. Not like I'm gonna cut myself to find out.

[You just keep making those good choices, Ryan. You'll make your preincarnation proud.]

[schild]

Hm. Maybe our powers are different after all. Maybe steam is just a thing some people do in some weird world...?

[ That sure sounds likely yep. Let's start keeping secrets ah yes, this is Ellie's influence plain and simple. Before talking to her, he would've blurted about Titans from the rooftops... ]

[wirsinddiejager]

I guess that's possible. I do have that one memory, though...

[Maybe he just wants to be like you senpai :(]

[schild]

Which one?

[ Senpai wants you to be cool and strong and be all you can be, Alan!! But he also wants you to be safe... man what a dilemma. And doesn't know you remember horrific things like dying, too. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

You know, with, uh...my limbs missing and stuff. There was a lot of steam there. And they definitely did grow back.

[He shrugs.]

But I dunno, maybe that's just how healing powers work for everyone.

[schild]

Oh.

[ That doesn't sound echo-inducing at all. Growing back limbs? Well, I never! ]

I doubt everyone could grow limbs, that's kind of... wow. And you remember that?

[wirsinddiejager]

Well, I don't actually remember it happening, but...in that memory I was sure that they would, and there's another that definitely happened later where they weren't gone anymore. So...yeah.

[Well, technically one of his legs was gone and his arm was chomped off, but that's not relevant here.]

[schild]

That's intense. Sounds like you've had it pretty rough.

[ What's a kid doing with all these terrible not-protagonist injuries? ]

Makes you wonder what kind of crazy stuff our past-selves were getting into...
