Where: Clinic
When: Day 123, 7AM Sharp

[Well, whatever way the winds blow on combat in the cooliseum or combat over the next upgrade, someone has decided to be prepared. If more wildlife comes to Imeeji, there could also be some severe reactions to it. So, the lesson for the day is allergies, from the banal to the lethal, including how to do a basic level allergy test. Sorry, it's for skin only; John is not ready to teach anyone how to work with any of the laboratory gear he has amassed for blood tests. There are practice and real epipens for students who want to be prepared . . . ]

[Or you could just gossip after class about why did John have to show that many gruesome pictures of rashes, hives, and sores?]

[[This was announced on Dissonance for anyone to poke their head in and learn something, like all first aid classes. There are some more classes over here, since I fell behind.]]

[shutthefoxup]

[Jogging in straight from his run and taking a seat in the back]

[liarliarliar]

Where's my coffee. Goodness.

[shutthefoxup]

[Holds out B's cup]

I got you.

[theyregooddogs]

[shooting a look at him before class starts, are you done? are you?]

[shutthefoxup]

[Yes dad. Digging out his notebook and pen, chatting with B and Talon until class starts]

[liarliarliar]

[finally showed back up properly for class]

[iamverybadass]

Does this mean I can stop taking notes for you?

[liarliarliar]

I have returned, yes.

[theyregooddogs]

[not going to comment on it, just giving him a look, waiting for B to stop chatting before starting]

[iamverybadass]

[ Talon's taken a seat in the back of the class, fresh in from a jog to the cafe for his own coffee ]

[shutthefoxup]

[Leans over to doodle a really poorly drawn bat in the corner of Talon's notebook]

[theyregooddogs]

[and Talon is the last one to get a look, stop talking, kiddos]

[justfuckingtryit]

[There on time, as usual.]

[Looking like he doesn't want to be awake yet, as usual.]

[letgrow]

[Taking the seat next to him then!]

Hello again.

[theyregooddogs]

[not going to immediately get into the sleepy head but after twenty minutes or so, time to drill]

Thorn, three symptoms of anaphylaxis?

[we_meet_again]

[Arrived on time, ready to rock n roll, as always. He took thorough notes, and at the end of class can be found getting acquainted with the practice epipens.]

[theyregooddogs]

Go on. Remember where it goes?

[forgottenmercy]

[is here, sitting in the back, quiet and taking notes. doesn't entirely look well, but is paying attention.]

[theyregooddogs]

[when does he ever look well? the lecture is thorough with follow-up questions]

Here, Persephone, demonstrate how to use the epi-pen.

[nihilmancy]

[Quietly attending, taking notes and seeming unfazed by the gruesome pictures.]

[theyregooddogs]

[not too gruesome aside from a few swollen shut eyes, not hitting them with as many questions as the other students since they haven't been present as much . . . ]

[worthathousand]

[ As always, Amaranth is in class by 6:55am. She sits a bit further back than usual this time around; if called on, her answers are short and to the point, without further elaboration beyond precisely what was asked.

After class, though, she will wait for the others to clear out—or as close to it as she can manage—before approaching John at the front of the room. ]

[theyregooddogs]

[already got his things in order but cleaning up the classroom as you do]

Yes?

[sancrimony]

[ why is it that he always has bandages

i mean he's sensitIV but also

in any case, he's fairly quiet during the entire lesson, taking as many notes as he can - though occasionally, and particularly when his eyes wander to pictures of skin lesions, his hands find their way to his wrists, nails idly digging in though not quite scratching

at the end of the lesson, he wait for people to start filing out before he approaches him ]

Excuse me - this is a little bit of a silly question, I think, but . . . with regards to "allergic reactions", these are certainly not new to human history, right?

[theyregooddogs]

They're not. Just happened to get weeded out or not be triggered before . . .
