[The video opens to Claire, and only Claire. She's obviously in the corner of a room, careful with the camera angle. She doesn't want her companions to show up on the network if they don't feel like, but she prefers to show her face. Could make her more trustworthy to some.

She lifts a hand, waves, smiles crookedly.]

Hi, everyone.

I don't want this to become long, so I'll cut straight to the chase: in the past little while, I have been compiling a small guide to the most common injuries that can be possibly expected, and some field techniques to treat them.

It is by no means exhaustive, and I plan on adding to it - if you have anything you'd like to see covered, let me know. I'll add it in if there anything that can be done. In any case, I hope this helps if you find yourself stranded somewhere and need to get back on your feet.

[Attached to the message is a link, called Minor Injuries and How To Treat Them.]

If you have any questions, happy to answer them.

[Claire looks away from the camera, and shortly after, the feed cuts. Seems like Claire really didn't want this message to get long.]

get me off your list, sidekick
i don't work clinic

[nursetemple]

fine

[rubikscomplex]

[After the fight it was with Al, this is refreshingly easy. House leaves her be since she's acquiesced immediately. Except to add one thing that's very much just wishful thinking. He doesn't like being this sentimental, but even he's not immune to wanting something to be, even if it won't happen.]

if he comes back
@jwilson should be on that list

[nursetemple]

if he does - would you let me know? or tell him to contact me?

[rubikscomplex]

sure, whatever
he'll probably make a post about not being dead, anyway

@Spoiler ; private text

[spoileralert]

Psssst

If you leave him on the list and people contact him asking for help, he'll help them. It'll piss him off but he'll do it.

Just for future reference, when you inevitably need to piss House off.

i gathered he'd help them anyway. i'm thinking i'll just put his name back in later if i feel the need to

but in the meantime might as well guide people towards doctors who actually want to help out, no?

[spoileralert]

Just as long as you're keeping your options open.

[exequies]

You're the one with the kid, aren't you?

[He's sure Claire will know which kid he's talking about, even if a private text from a stranger might seem suspicious.]

private;

[nursetemple]

which kid? why are you asking?

[She might or might not know. She's in contact with several kids, dude, and she doesn't know you. Suspicious.]

[exequies]

The Kid. I'm sure you know the one.

And I just wanted to make sure he's taken care of. He's had a rough time of it, lately.

[nursetemple]

[Claire deflates. She can't be sure it's the truth, but there's also the fact that she doesn't want to be wary of everyone, even if that's what Davesprite told her to be.]

I'm not with him yet, but traveling to him. Is there anything you can tell me about his current state? Something I should be keeping tabs on, besides his obvious physical injuries and malnutrition?

[exequies]

Ah, he did say it'd take a few days. The sooner the better, though.

What should I say that isn't obvious? He's young and frightened whether he'll admit to it or not. He could use someone who'll fuss and make sure he's being properly looked after.

This is exceptionally useful. Thank you.

Would you considered a sequel on dealing with relief of illness symptoms, such as fever? Asking for a friend. And by friend I mean most of the town.

[nursetemple]

I can add something about treating a fever, although there is not much else to do about it than to sweat it out.

And honestly, I hope you never have to use any of this information, Mr Beckett.

[bookofnope]

I'm sure we'd all love to be sweating, but what is the next best option?

And just as honestly, I wish the same. But for my sins I am also a realist.

[nursetemple]

keep cool. take off a layer, maybe - do not add any. one of the houses with hot water would be a godsend in these times as a lukewarm to warm bath is very good to bring your body temperature back to normal levels.

The point is really to regulate your temperature. fevers often make you feel either too hot or too cold, but piling on layers can actually be dangerous, as is, obviously, taking too many off. unfortunately there is very little ways to get rid of them here, since the conditions are so awful.

we are fortunate indeed to have healers in this place.

[nursetemple]

[Claire smiles, bowing her head at the message. Compared to the doctors, she can't do much, but every little helps.]

Dr Watson is a surgeon, as well. very useful. I hope you don't have to use any of these tips and methods, but I thought it would be best to try and share the knowledge.

[silverfuller]

I am well versed in how to survive the harshest of snows. in this at least you need not worry

[nursetemple]

where are you from?

[Al finds it amazing that so many people are coming together to write their own guides, but it worries him that this can make the information more fragmented for people to find. His voice sounds tired and small, but at least he's talking instead of texting over the network again.]

This looks great, do you mind if I add it to the resources in my guide?

[nursetemple]

Of course not. We need a centralized document where everything can be easily accessible. I thought I'd share it for now, but I was hoping you'd find it interesting enough that it can be an addition to your guide.

[armoured]

Thank you so much.

[He will make sure to add that in when he stops for the night. He almost wants to just leave then and there, but he forces himself to do what he normally would.]

How are you after-- after the other night, Miss Temple?

[nursetemple]

I'm fine.

[She's doing much better than plenty of people.]

I managed to stay away from it all. But my eyes are still wrong. How are you doing, yourself?
