OTA Clinic Mingle!

[pellameno]

Who: anyone!
What: fixing up anyone who needs medical attention, as well as first aid and/or healing lessons
Where: the clinic mostly, but potentially anywhere
When: from the STAMPEDE on, open until the next mingle for anyone to stop by
Warnings: possibly injuries

[ Stampeding wildlife seems like it's going to cause a few injuries, so why not a place to get patched up afterwards? The Clinic Mingle is here for all your needs and then some. Just want to come by and chat with your fellow staff, or a friend on staff? It works for that too. First aid or healing lessons? Hoping for a new supply kit? Got a headache you can't shake? Or did you just fall into the lake or hang out outside a bit too long and think you might have hypothermia? Come on in! Anyone just looking to help out is also very much welcome. ]

((For reference: the staff list is here at undersupplied.))

Anything I have a mineral or chemical composition for, in theory, but some things are easier than others. The problem with you carbon-based lifeforms, too much of you is carbon-based.

[ Knock Out finishes the last of the bandages and gives his work a critical look, but seems satisfied. ]

Not bad, if I do say so myself. How does it feel?

[itsnotaonesie]

Hey, blame evolution for that.

[Peter moves around a little and just kinda shrugs a bit]

Uh, mostly good. It's a little tight like, right around here? But I mean, y'know, mostly good.

[redcosmedic]

A good reminder for you not to undo my fine work, then!

[ But he seems pretty pleased with himself, he didn't cut Peter even once! ]

So it that really your name? Spider-Man?

[ Says the one named Knock Out?? ]

[itsnotaonesie]

[Good job, Knock Out, you fixed a squishy!! Peter will just have to adjust the bandages later or something.]

Peter.

[He holds his hand out for a shake, but kind of hesitates a second because how do you even shake hands with bigass robots.]

Thanks for the, uh. Y'know, doctor stuff.

[redcosmedic]

[ He's 1.50/2 on his squishy count now, and you'd better believe he's keeping score. Very gingerly, he'll offer the tips of his digits to Peter to shake. It's only half about not hurting him and at least 3/4 about pesky organic skin oils on his finish. He doesn't suppose waxing products are going to be in bounteous supply in a place like this. But it's nice to be appreciated, especially for medic work. He doesn't get much acknowledgement for his skill on the Nemesis. ]

You're welcome. What about those creatures, are they all gone?

[itsnotaonesie]

[Peter is a champion at firm handshakes, even when shaking hands with a big ol' robot.]

They were thinning out when I started heading over here. I don't think they're gone yet, though.

[redcosmedic]

[ Yeah that's kind of surprising, Knock Out wasn't expecting that kind of grip. ]

Let me guess: you're going back out there to get into more "zigging instead of zagging" trouble.

[itsnotaonesie]

I mean, I'm not planning on getting into anymore trouble?

[Yes the answer is absolutely yes]

For real, though, as long as those things are around, people are going to need help. I shouldn't sit around for too long.

[redcosmedic]

[ Knock Out is unimpressed, but somehow not surprised. ]

Fine, go. Not the first time I've patched someone up only to watch them get themselves damaged right after.

[ In fact that was a large part of his responsibility as a medic with an army of Vehicons to maintain. ]

[itsnotaonesie]

I'm not gonna get damaged, I got this.

[HUFF. He's totally got this. Time to get his gear back on and go punch some mammoths!!

Iiis what he would be doing, but then he realizes the shape that his suit's in aaaaand yeah.]

...Y'know, maybe I'll wait until I find something else to wear.

[redcosmedic]

There really isn't much left of that one, no.

A rest and refuel probably wouldn't kill you either. Might actually do the opposite, in fact.

[itsnotaonesie]

Okay, okay, but if one of those things hurts someone while I'm slacking off, I'm gonna be real annoyed.

[It's not "slacking off" peter you dip. it's taking care of yourself so you don't beef it]

[redcosmedic]

[ Knock Out vents out a derisive snort. ]

Then they should have figured out staying out of the way of the rampaging behemoths. What are you, an Autobot in training?

[itsnotaonesie]

[SHRUG]

In all fairness, those things are just slamming into buildings and stuff. Nowhere is safe. Aaaand I have no idea what that is, so I'm gonna say "no"?

[redcosmedic]

Autobots, the other half of the civil war. The "good guys". The ones that like to think of themselves as the "heroes".

[ And you can hear every one of those quotes when he speaks. ]

[itsnotaonesie]

Okay, I mean, vague much? I don't know anything about them or your guys.

[Knock Out seems pretty okay, at least???]

[redcosmedic]

It's not so much "vague" as this war has been going on for thousands of vorns... millions of your years. Even the condensed version is lengthy.

But suffice to say: there is an Autobot resistance to the Decepticons winning the war, they've been holding out for entirely too long to be polite anymore, and that was very possibly about to change at precisely the same time I ended up here.

[itsnotaonesie]

That is way too long for a war, holy crap. And that's some pretty bad timing. Sorry man, that's rough.

[redcosmedic]

I agree, far too long. But with a dead home planet, there's not much alternative.

... thank you.

[itsnotaonesie]

I was gonna ask what happened to your planet, but I have a feeling that the answer would be pretty obvious.

[Maybe don't have a civil war that lasts for millions of years and your planet won't die, ROBOTS.]

It's cool, man. I kind of get it, the whole being here suddenly where there's a huge, universally life altering thing happening. I know how rough that can be. Um, I'm all ears, if you ever need to like, talk about it some time?

[redcosmedic]

[ Maybe if someone had put him in charge, it wouldn't have! ]

Oh, Velocitron fell eons ago. Cybertron became an adopted planet, of sorts.

[ It's said with almost flippancy, if that's even possible. ]

If we win the war, we have the means to restore Cybertron. And for myself, I fully plan on being on the winning team.

[itsnotaonesie]

[yeah but would Knock Out really want that much responsibility????

He just kinda nods like, "oooooh well... okay then", but then arches an eyebrow]

What if the other guys win?

[redcosmedic]

[ still flippant: ]

Imprisonment or exile, if we're lucky. The Autobots can be soft-sparked when it suits them. Execution if we're not so lucky.

[ Which is honestly what the Decepticons would do themselves, so he's not judging, just being honest. ]

[itsnotaonesie]

[how is he so flippant about thiiiiis!!]

I mean, none of those really sound that great.

[redcosmedic]

Hence why I'd very much prefer not to lose.

[ And if what Starscream told him was true... Well, he's got a lot of thinking to do. ]
