— addy was used to hurting someone, how to be the one causing gunshot wounds and stab wounds… he didn’t fuckin’ know how to treat the damn things. mainly because he never had to. in the gang, they had plenty of members who knew how to treat a couple bullet wounds. he never figured he’d have to learn. never thought he’d be the one who cared enough to help someone. though, the more he thought about it, the more he decided that this had to be time for him to learn. he couldn’t rely on lucerne to save his ass all the time, anymore.

as catalyst piped up, saying gunshots and stab wounds were the most common, he nodded his head in agreement. personally, there were too many times he’d been stabbed and/or shot, and it would be nice how to treat that on his own (rather than his usual remedy of cursing and applying pressure until someone swooped in to help).

— A few people had turned up, not as much as Lucerne had hoped but he'd make do with what he had. He turned his head to look towards Cat, agreeing with a brief nod of the head, "Unfortunately I cannot disagree there - it seems increasingly common nowadays, especially in recent events. This is why it's important to know how to deal with such injury if it were to ever occur as it ultimately may be the difference between life and death."

He was blunt as he spoke, but this was Lucerne so that should not ever be much of a surprise. Instead, he paced around the room in thought as he begun. "Firstly, before one even treats a patient, you must ensure that you are not putting yourself in a compromising situation. No playing hero and swooping in to save an unresponsive victim whose just been shot by an enemy. To be curt, I will much prefer one casualty rather than two. It makes for too much mess."

He paused momentarily before saying, "If it is safe to go, however, then you may approach them. You'll want to see whether they are responsive. First, ask them. If there is no response, gently shake their shoulders or pinch their earlobe. With a baby - if the worst were to happen to Mo, for example - you will tap her foot." He pursed his lips, feeling slightly awkward that he had to bring up somebody's child. But, it was for the best if people knew.

— “pinch their earlobe?” addy couldn’t help but echo, albeit more incredulously. why the fuck would he want to pinch someone’s earlobe? who came up with this shit? then again, he also had to wonder what cogs shifted in lucerne’s mind to think it was a good idea to use mo as an example. he’d never know what the hell went on in that guy’s head; at least he was trying his best to listen to this lecture. most of it had been pretty self-explanatory. hopefully it sort of stayed that way.

“what about the interesting shit? you know, like actually doing something.” sure, this was the stuff that didn’t hurt to know, but he wanted to know the good stuff; how to deal with a gaping wound gushing blood. there was nothing interesting in simply pinching an earlobe or shaking someone on the shoulders - or, in mo’s case, as lucerne so helpfully pointed it - tapping their foot.

AND CHANCES ARE, THEY WON'T GO FAR | | |

The casino seemed like a fine place to hang around, and while Salem had noticed one of the other Badlanders gathering a group for some sort of lecture he hadn't been actively interested until he'd downed a shot or three and wanted something interesting to do.

So the man lounged on the side and listened in as the lecture started, nodding along as the man spoke about wanting one casualty rather than multiple. It sucked to leave a man behind, but it also sucked to leave four men behind; ultimately, it was a balancing game of saving lives and keeping people safe from crossfire.

His hand went to the piercing in his earlobe as the man spoke about ways to check if someone was responsive. He doubted it'd do anybody much good to check him by tapping his damn earlobe, but it was still interesting enough information to have. Tap a baby's foot? That was kinda weird, and he could never imagine himself in a situation with an injured child who wasn't definitely going to die, so he sorta ignored that part.

His gaze darted to the other man as he spoke up, asking about interesting shit. Salem couldn't help but agree; sure, everything that had been said so far was important, but it was mostly boring common sense stuff. Maybe Badlanders needed that sort of thing explained to them? Salem wasn't sure about that, but it was a possibility.

"Yeah, what would we do if they're unresponsive and- bleeding out, or whatever." Salem questioned, throwing the situation out in the air. "Like if someone got shot, I check and they're in shock and not responding, what's my go-to?"

— Perhaps it would come to a surprise to some, but this time Lucerne was going out of his way to help others. He was never quite the type to openly make such an offer, but he did have the opportunity to show off if he were to do this. In fact, Lucerne was ready to ramble to people excitedly if it were to go in the way he expected this event to go. He was going to reeducate the members of the Badlands about basic first aid. After all, with all of the events which had happened in the recent weeks, he was pretty sure that if everyone was knowledgeable about first aid - mainly just be familiarized about the topic once more - then, if the worst were to happen, they'd manage to keep themselves and those around them alive. That was... Ideal, Lucerne supposed. He was a heartless man, but he'd hate to see anybody here die.

He cleared his throat as he paced around in the casino, waiting for several people to choose to join before he'd begin. He was never quite one for conversation, often so aloof and seemingly too pompous to talk to others, but today he was visibly elated, a skip in his step as he impatiently waited for people to turn up. As people began to filter in, he stood proudly, hands behind his back, until deciding it was finally time to begin. "Hello. I'm assuming that if you are here, then you are interested in refreshing your first aid knowledge. Extremely important considering the circumstances we are all facing in the present day, of course... Uh... Yes, okay. So. Firstly... Can anybody name common injuries that we often come across nowadays?"
