[Claire looks a little tired. Maybe it's due to the recent trek through the jungle, but more likely it's because her husband's returned to stasis. She could talk about that--with anyone, really--but instead she'd much rather focus on this. So, here she is, mustering up a pleasant smile.]

It's a belated thank you, but I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone that helped during our last crisis.

That said, I have noticed that quite a few of you have some interest in being helpful, and not just when it comes to fighting. You'd like to help the ill or injured as well. However, there's not always time to walk newcomers through something such as sewing a wound or changing the bandages on someone bedridden. So, with the help of Dr Watson, I'm hoping to make us better prepared in the future.

Every other month we'll be holding first aid lessons. Basic skills, answering questions, clearing up any misconceptions. Consider it a health class. Take notes, record it, whatever you'd like. If you have anything about medicine or anatomy that baffles you, please attend. Of course, we're always available for general questions.

We'll be offering two sessions. One will be on the station on the morning of the 9th, in the simulation rooms, which we encourage everyone to at least try once if they're interested. If that makes you uncomfortable, I suppose we can hold the other in Olympia in the evening.

[Her place is now an option, but she's not going to announce that bit to the whole network. Claire hesitates before deciding to end the feed.]

Thank you, and we hope to see you there.

[OOC: Class is in session! Feel free to answer a roll call here, even if your character plans on only attending once. The actual lessons will be handwaved but feel free to use the "classroom" time in your own logs.]

I could deal with learning a bit more about anatomy.

[ Ew. ]

A noble endeavor. A shame that neither Olympia or Wyver thought of this in the first place.

[ he will most certainly be there. especially since he doesn't want a repeat of last time. ]

Can anyone who likes come along?

You've already done so much to help everyone... and now you're doing this, too. You're very kind, lady Claire.

[ but from the smile on her face, it's clear she admires it. she knows it is both kindness and real need that pushes Claire to this — they could have used more people who knew what they were doing, during the wave of illness.

behind her own smile is a sadness that mirrors Claire's, as her older brother now sleeps, too... but just as Claire, she's here regardless, answering to this video.
]

You know it isn't really done back in my home... but perhaps it's time to change it, for a woman to learn the skills that Maesters have. I would be honoured to be taught by you. [ sorry John, she's completely ignoring he was even mentioned... she doesn't know him, and trusts Claire more as a mentor than she would any man she doesn't know. ]

Thank you for this, miss.

[he'd seen her around the afflicted, helping take care of them and certainly more knowledgable than he in doing so - the best Linneus had been able to do was to hold hands, wipe brows as it became increasingly obvious how limited his own knowledge was. He has been working to fix this, since.]

The Professor was kind enough to offer some talks as well, but- [careful with his words] -one can learn different thigs from different teachers, I think.

And there always is something to learn for one such as me. I have nursed a few fevers and colds in my time but I am not... experienced in healing.
vorrutyer: (shocked! and! appalled!)

[ An innocent blink. ]

Heard what one, dear lady? I could. What if I need to save a life? I need that knowledge in that case.
bruxisms: (we have to do WHAT?)

[ it is a strange thing, hearing others use his name. he had said that it was fine, given he was no longer a king, but still.

how long had it been since anyone had called him simply "Stannis"? the last had been Renly, and he had been long dead, until the Storm came to Westeros. ]


It does certainly make me question the competence of some, though I will not speak ill of our hosts.

[ a pause, as he clenches his jaw. ]

I will be there, for it seems you know far more than the Maesters of Westeros in this particular subject.
veneries: (cause I'd miss you baby)

[personal profile] veneries 2017-12-02 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's very kind of you to share your knowledge with others like this.
vorrutyer: (satisfied (but smug))

[personal profile] vorrutyer 2017-12-02 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
How many?
inaurare: (Happy)

[personal profile] inaurare 2017-12-02 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like something from a fairytale, healing magic...

[of course he's met those here who say they have it - seen it in action once or twice since arriving. It's still so strange, so wondrous, though.]

All I have a two good hands - I should like to learn how to use them. I knew something of the properties of plants and flowers of my home, too. [a little chuckle and a shake of his head] But those remedies seem almost... primitive, when I think of some of the things I have seen here.
vorrutyer: (hmmmmm not bad)

[personal profile] vorrutyer 2017-12-03 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I quite am. I find myself - perhaps once every three days?
vorrutyer: (satisfied (but smug))

[personal profile] vorrutyer 2017-12-03 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes please. Where shall we meet? I've been using coffee and cigarettes, but I fear it's not good for anything at all.
vorrutyer: (condescending aka default)

[ Sweetly and ingenuously: ] I'm being completely serious. I'm a serious man. Will I have to pay for this medicine?
