Who: Doctors in training and the curious
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.]]

[finally showed back up properly for class]

[iamverybadass]

Does this mean I can stop taking notes for you?

[liarliarliar]

I have returned, yes.

[iamverybadass]

You could have still wanted them. My notes are impeccable.

[liarliarliar]

I mean not wrong.

[iamverybadass]

Good to know that you recognize my talents.

[liarliarliar]

Skill is skill!

[iamverybadass]

That's true, but many are easy to overlook.

[liarliarliar]

School skills are great.

[iamverybadass]

... Do you just like them because they're normal?

[liarliarliar]

They're practical and useful.

[iamverybadass]

Mm. That's a much better reason.

I shouldn't be surprised. You're good at seeing the value in things like this.

[liarliarliar]

Someone has to do the practical stuff in life like pay bills, get the groceries, stuff like that.

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

[IM QUIET NOW GEEZ]

[theyregooddogs]

[better! not going to be vindictive, just quizzing B once or twice on lecture material with an extrapolating question in there]

[liarliarliar]

[B is pretty bright so while he doesn't actually like being called on, he answers well enough]

[theyregooddogs]

[yes, john has figured that out, but he still has to ask for his own peace of mind. finishing up near the close of the hour and holding a practice epipen out]

B. Can you demonstrate how to use it?

[liarliarliar]

[brb consulting google]

On myself? Sure.

[theyregooddogs]

[narrowing his eyes at that reaction but giving it a pass]
