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!

...Yeah.

[Haha totally not thinking about that time he got eaten alive, nope!]

I think past me was kinda crazy, always getting into fights and stuff.

[schild]

[ It's okay Alan you totally didn't remind Ryan of that time Annie crushed him or anything, no way. ]

That so? [ It sounds about right. ] It's good that you can at least recognize it, though. Might be able to avoid falling back into those bad habits.

[ Better yourself, Alan! Senpai is here!! ]

[wirsinddiejager]

[It's such a good thing we're not reminding each other of awful memories at all here!]

No worry about that. I have no intention of picking up any habits from that guy.

[Alan does not have a very high opinion of his preincarnation. Blame the childhood shankings. And the getting eaten, that too.]

[schild]

[ Truly it is a good thing that we are all happy and carefree. ]

Not so fond of former-you, huh?

[ You'd shank people too if you lived in their crapsack world, Alan. No really, you would. At least you're not a child mass-murder!! ]

[wirsinddiejager]

Yeah, well. Former-me was kind of a douche.

[Just because it's justified doesn't mean Alan can't judge!]

[schild]

[ That makes Ryan chuckle. ]

Well, like I said, least you know what to avoid from here on in. It's like you're getting a real second chance.

From what I can tell, past-me was pretty okay. Had lots of friends, gave inspiring speeches... that sort of thing. [ Yeah Reiner sure was great wasn't he? Yep. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

A second chance, huh? I guess it's not so bad when you put it like that. My life's a pretty damn big improvement already.

[Maybe this time around he won't die before turning sixteen!]

Though I can't say I'm not kinda jealous. Sounds like you've got it pretty good. [Hahahahaha oh sweet summer child.]

[schild]

There, see? It's not so bad. Gives you a whole new appreciation for what you've got.

[ Maybe this time he'll live to adulthood without slaughtering thousands!! Ryan's already off to a good start! ]

Well, you know. I'm hoping it stays that way. But the life of a soldier can be pretty rough, so who knows. [ You'd better hope for the soldier memories, Ryan, cause the warrior ones are gonna mess you up. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

I'm not really sure it's worth all the trouble, though.

[Sure, memories of dying are great for making you appreciate life more, but it also REALLY SUCKS.]

You remember any actual soldiering stuff yet? Like, fighting or something?

[schild]

Chances are you're gonna get 'em whether they're worth it or not, so you might as well look on the bright side.

[ Optimism is Team Dad's greatest power!! ]

Training, mostly. Nothing specific though, just along the lines of the friends I used to have. I remember we'd mess around once we were all done breaking our backs over all that stuff.

[wirsinddiejager]

Right. I was just wondering, since past me was probably a soldier too... But that could just be a weird coincidence.

[schild]

Well, we do both have the weird steam thing going on. Could be we were on the same side? Or we're from the same place?

[ What if... everyone is titans? Yeah, that sounds like a nice alternative, huh. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

Maybe we knew each other back then. That'd be pretty cool.

[schild]

Yeah, I think so too.

[ You've got serious buddy-vibes, Eren. Sure you're way young, but you're totes a pal. tears.gif ]

Of course, that means you really can't slack off. You've got a lot of catching up to do if you want to save lives like I do, someday.

[ Yeah, be all that you can be, Alan!! ]

[wirsinddiejager]

Hey, that's why I came here! Not everyone signed in just for the free food.

[TEACH ME YOUR WAYS SENPAI]

[schild]

That's what I like to hear.

[ He's gonna ruffle Alan's hair, awwww!! Seriously what a cute kid. Can he keep him? ]
