Where: Clinic
When: Day 93, 7AM (Slight backdate but after heart games, ty ty)

[A Discord reminder about first aid classes went up shortly after the game was over, but the location for classes has changed to an address somewhere in between the game tower and the hotel. Hurrah, no more long trudges out to the library?

At the given location, there is a very large, very dead pig spread out on a tarp in the vacant street. There is also a roaring fire being tended to not far off. Welcome to your practicals, students, time to dissect a body and identify all the organs. Also, try stitching flesh or otherwise together. The necessary materials are all provided, gloves, scissors, scalpels, forceps, sutures, etc. After giving his spartan instructions, John will be going in between the fire and a building that has a lot of fancy medical equipment set-up. (Thanks, B.) Have fun . . . ?]

Well, go on. Going to get worse the longer you wait.

[crouching down to give some finer pointers, but doesn't have anything to say about what he's gotten through]

Did you want to try stitching together organs? It's a different thread, method.

Yeah. That would be good to know.

[going to get the materials then sit down with Thorn, reaching for a section of intestines and cutting it open (boy, that smells great!) then going on to demonstrate while talking through the process]

Should just be for a patch job. This area especially runs a high risk of infection.

Is there any way to mitigate that?

Still digging into that. Everything says to bypass the rest of the system but that's too long term. I'd talk to SensitIV, haven't heard of infection with them. So, patch to hold it together then grab one of them as soon as you can.

If you hear of another way, let me know. I'd rather be able to account for situations when they aren't available.

[Or are unwilling, but he leaves that part out.]

None of them don't involve leaving an open hole in your gut and excreting into a bag. Someone will punch sense into you before your pride goes that far.

[Wrinkles his nose a little.]

Astrals. Is that even feasible?

With modern medicine, it's possible. I'm living proof.

You had an open hole in your gut?

Yeah. Someone got me with a knife down there. Don't remember it, but the scar pattern says enough.

Fuck.

More visceral reaction than I was expecting considering.

[gesturing at the scar on his cheek and also nodding at Thorn, we have been beaten up???]

[Shrugs.]

Just because I'm a pin cushion doesn't mind I like finding out everyone else was.

To be fair, there is a small portion of people that become violent when dealing with officers. Work long enough, you eventually come across one or two of them.

You were a soldier?

Not quite. Law enforcement. Can escalate but it isn't meant to.

So guard duty, more than active engagement.

Somewhat. Never heard of court martials?

What about them?

Someone has to figure out you're breaking the rules before any of that, right? That's me.

So more like a detective.

Exactly. Probably was one before moving onto the bureau.

What bureau?

The bureau. Where I'm from it only means the Federal Bureau of Investigations, a national and international law enforcement under the United States government, the country I'm from.
