Support Services Meeting: The Park, Friday After Classes

[thatsamilkshake]

Much like the posters, though not as deliberately, the setup for today's meeting was a little more...restrained than usual. Mostly because Francine was sitting at one of the picnic tables with an honest to God old-fashioned ice-bag pressed to her head.

If that wasn't a signal that your co-hostess and her lovely breasts were just a little under par

Francine's voice was a little quieter than usual, though still too loud in her head.

"Hi, guys. This is Morgana and I'm--" A zombie. Who still had cotton-mouth. "--Francine, and you're at the Support Services meeting. Since it's a new term and we've got new people, we thought we'd spend today just going over stuff and getting to know each other if we don't already." Which was going to make Francine feel extra-special-dumb if nobody new showed up today.

"To start with, if you just wandered in for the...ergh...food, you're welcome to stay, but the actual group is about helping out when weird stuff happens on the island. Which it does. A lot. Sometimes it's harmless and you just have to worry about what's gonna fall out of the sky and get stuck in your hair, but sometimes it gets dangerous.

We're not the guys who have to deal with the big stuff when that happens. There's two reserve groups, one for fighting and one for magic, who're figuring out how to protect us and training together and...stuff." Francine was saying stuff a lot

"I'm Gabrielle," the short, reddish-blonde-headed owner of that name in the quite frankly bilious green sports bra top began. "I'm a bard, but I've also got experience treating injuries on the battlefield, getting civilians out of the battle zone, organizing them into some kind of defense, um . . . improvising weapons?" The seltzer water thing had been fun.

"Wait, what do you mean you already did?"

"We went shopping." Francine held up the phone box again. "Come see me afterwards and I can show you how to use it."

"Oh." Gabrielle was clearly caught off guard by the whole idea, and hearing Ephiny's voice in her head saying An Amazon doesn't refuse a gift from another Amazon. Not that Francine was an Amazon, but put her in the right outfit and she'd look a lot like someone who frequently got mistaken for one there was kind of a tribe thing going on here if you thought about it the right way. "All right."

"Hey, I'm Priestly. I'm, uh. Mostly a food guy." He held up a baked good as though to demonstrate this fact. "Sandwiches are my specialty, but I figure anything to keep someone's blood sugar up, am I right? And I'm, uh, working on those first aid skills."

"Hi," Turtle waved a little. "I'm Turtle; I own the Turtle & Canary here in Fandom, so if any sort of supplies are needed, I'm definitely there to help and provide. I've also been going to this school for almost four years now, so I'm experienced and have been through a lot of the weirdness before. I also work a little with the fighting reserve, although this support thing is much more up my alley."

"I'm Angela," she said, even if most of the people around knew her anyway. "I usually end up doing the first aid thing." Well, she had during the zombies, anyway. "Or, you know, helping pile furniture against the doors and windows."

"Hi everyone," Ellie greeted. "I'm Ellie Bartowski. if you need first aid or CPR, I can help with that. I can also do the whole food preparation thing if needed."

"I'm Jack. Burton. There's at least one other Jack out there, but he's not me," he pointed out. "And..." Don't say you came for the food, Jack, don't say food. "I'm here for whatever."

Realizing that she hadn't given more than her name, Francine waited until the others had gone -- and she'd down 3/4 of a bottle of water, thanks -- to speak up again. For really low values of up. "I forgot to say what I can do. Which isn't all that much. I can do first aid and CPR, and cook. And drive if we need it. And watch kids, if that ever comes up."

"I'm Eleanor and I'm actually in the magic reserves, but I thought I would stop by to get to know people from another team."

She smiled, "I am a mage.
