[Healer Chat] Nerak: anyone want to RP about the earthquake? There are patients in the Ista great hall, and cleaning to be done in the infirmary?? [Healer Chat] Musuko: I'll RP for a bit. [Healer Chat] Nerak: anyone else? I'm in Ista Great Hall, RP!!! This is where the infirmary now is, since the infirmary was hit by debris Nerak is walking around the hall, stopping at each cot, checking on the earthquake victims. She is also checking to see that each of the apprentices there are doing correctly what they should be doing. Musuko looks to Nerak, and runs over. "I'm here to help." she says, and smiles. "What do ya need me to do?" she asks, then looks around. --- Geraint pages, "hello got a moment" You paged Geraint with: Nerak pages, "Hello... what's up?" Geraint pages, "is there any rp way you could be up in seacliffs in about 15 minutes? i am going to have an accident that will require a jman healer" You paged Geraint with: Nerak pages, "sure, what kind of injury?" Geraint pages, "me and a team of dolphincrafters are searching through the ruins. some supports are going to crack and fall and pretty much bury me, thinking borken arm and leg" You paged Geraint with: Nerak pages, "sure... where are you again?" You sense that Geraint is looking for you in Crossroads (#6224). Geraint pages, "Seacliffs Crossroads" ------- [OOC:] Nerak says "I've just been paged... some 'phiner's are going to get hurt in about 15 min.. and they want a healer..." You paged Geraint with: Nerak pages, "Ok, I'll be there." [OOC:] Musuko says "I'll go, Kaera's there." (Kaera's Musuko's 'Phiner alt.) Geraint pages, "wicked thanx :)" Crossroads (#6224) A faint haze of dust hangs in the air as you glance around this wide, well trodden crossroads. The fertile soil of the foothills has been stomped into the hard, flat surface of a roadbed over Turns of wagon, runner, and foot traffic. Three roads arrow into this one spot, merging to form the large oval of bare ground in which you stand. Down the northwest fork, the foothills around you flatten out to a broad valley which is covered in verdant growth. To the northeast, the road dips down toward the ocean's edge. And to the southeast, the road continues to the horizon, edging ever closer to the mountain's feet. The afternoon sun shines feebly through the smoky haze. Winds tear across the island, carrying smoke everywhere. On the perch are three firelizards. Geraint, Mailli, Yythara, and Musuko are here. Obvious exits: Worn Path Foothills You paged Musuko with: Nerak pages, "Geraint is going to get hurt" [OOC:] Geraint says "will repose so healers can be involved to" [OOC:] Nerak says "is a Jman healer type... we were RP'ing together" Musuko pages, "okkies, shall we make an ooc reason there?" Geraint with a gloomy look on his face he responds with a slight waver to his voice "the Seacliffs stewards daughter is missing and she ussually hangs out up here" as he looks under another peice of rubble You paged Musuko with: Nerak pages, "hmm, we do need a reason, maybe we were sent to check for injuries after the earthquake?" Mailli watches where her bronze is poking his head under, and moves cautiously towards him, "Matti, be careful would you?" Yythara forces a swallow, nose wrinkling as she braves a peek under a wide plank of wood. No, she doesn't mind the searching so much. It's the prospect of finding a not-so-alive or mortally wounded young girl that seems to put her at ill ease. "I'd call my flits to 'elp... but I haven't seen either of 'em since the.... the thing." The dainty 'Phincrafter doesn't appear to know exactly /what/ happened, yet, but, informed or not, the duties must be continued. Musuko pages, "I was worried about my friend Kaera for my IC reason." Nerak walks down the path, with Musuko showing her the damage. "I haevn't been here, but I'm glad you know your way around here. Are you sure this is the way?" When she sees people looking under rubble, she walks up. "Hello, we've been sent to help with rescue events, do you need help?" Geraint looks up and back at Yythara "just remember first rule, watch where you step, check everything, and flits chattering well more than one might be a bit of a hinderance, yours probly went off to make sure others were ok" as he steps a few more feet into the ruins as he hears two more voices he turns around "always can use another pair of hands, we have a missing girl somewhere in here" You set Coco down. Musuko looks around. "Earthquake here too?" she runs over, letting her dog and and flits around. "You from the 'phin hall?" she asks, seeing charms. "Anyone hurt?" she asks, then nods to Nerak. "I'll have my flits and dog help." she says as she drops them. Pewter has arrived. Musuko watches as emmy launches off her shoulder. Emmy then proceeds to find someone to feed her. Musuko drops Pewter. [OOC:] Yythara says "Urgh, I'm sorry, guys. I gotta run! *snugs*" Yythara goes home. Coco trots up and sniffs around, loving every moment of the walk, yet cautious. She stands besides her owner, Nerak, waiting for instructions. She has been trained in search and rescue, and is looking for approval to begin. Mailli pauses again as she finds more loose rubble to check under. Really, she wants the child found, she just doesn't want to be the one to find her. Pewter looks around, then starts to sniff, smelling for people. He know's how to find hurt people. A child is the worst to be found dead, so he knows he has to work fast. He nips at Emmy, who lands on his back, as she chitters and waits for directions. Nerak nods, "Ok, if you need help, Go ahead Coco..." Coco walks slowly and carefully around the rubble, making sure not to step on anything that moves. She sniffs carefully... "See if you can find a girl, Coco..." The dog is now a working dog... [OOC:] Geraint says "if possible couple more poses, i can not pose as am typing up what is about to happen" [OOC:] Nerak says "Ok, will do... hope we're not power playing, bringing our dogs in..." Matti chirrups as he peeks under some more rubble. Girl? Lost? Nope, he won't let that last for long. Not if he can help it he won't. Musuko looks around, then starts to carefully lift pieces of stuff. "Let's find a clear place to put all the stuff we look under. We need to narrow it down." she says, and finds an area where it's relatively clear. "Put the stuff here, then we know where we've checked." she hands it to her flit and her dog who take it to the spot. [OOC:] Geraint says "no probs (loves copy paste)" [OOC:] Mailli grins. Not at all. I was actually hoping one of you would have a dog or two. ;) [OOC:] Musuko says "we both do." Nerak walks over and helps Musuko. "Great idea, make a pile over here." She picks up some rocks and brings them over to the pile - safe enough out of the way to make sure they won't fall back if there are any after shocks... Coco walks around sniffing, looking into recesses adn listens carefully for any signs of a trapped person... she is also helping dig. Dogs are good at digging Mailli nods as she starts to lift debris from the ground. Why hadn't she thought of that? After all, it is /only/ logical. Musuko looks at everyone helping, and thinks if only she had a dragon. "A dragon would help." she says. "A dragon could lift most of this stuff faster then we could." she says, but keeps working, keeping her eyes out for the girl. Emraldae lifts some things, but lots of it is too heavy for her to lift alone, so she lets the humans or the dog handle it. Pewter sniffs around a bit, circling piles and whining, looking for the lost girl. Nerak is still walking around carefully, lifting as much as she can handle with still being careful. The debris is noticably being moved over to the pile, piece by piece... Dogs, flits and people are all working together. The dogs are also sniffing and whining on occasion as they pick up a scent, then loose it again. Coco is over at a particular rock and is sniffing... her tail is circling. She is trying to scratch a rock out of her way. "Coco? Did you find something?" Nerak walks over to where her dog is, removes teh stone she is in front of, and finds that the dog found a dead tunnelsnake under a rock. "Good girl, you found something... but it was a snake. Look for a girl!" She pats the dog on the head... Musuko laughs. "Snakes are mean." she mutters. She keeps moving debris, and just knows that someone has to find the girl soon. Pewter seems to find the scent a few times, but looses it just as quick, unless someone finds her she might not make it he knows. Emraldae flies around, and chitters at the piles, as though commanding them to give up the girl. Jihann walks in from the Worn Path. Mailli looks up to see, "Jihann! Over here!" Mailli then goes back to her methodical searching. Nerak takes a deep breath, with her hands on her hips. "This is tiring work!" and wipes the sweat from her brow. "Ok, back to work." She continues to pick up rocks and adds them to the debris pile. She watces her dog, who keeps sniffing, excitedly finding a scent, then loosing it a few steps later... This is quite frustrating to the dog. Nerak picks up a larger piece of debris and slowly carries it to the pile. "I wonder how much is left, and when we'll find the girl..." Jihann makes her way slowly to the crossroads, peering through hthe haze as she hears her name being called. Spotting Mailli, she gives a wave and hurries over to see what's being done. Musuko nods, and doesn't mind the work, it's better then sitting in the classroom. "I hope we find her soon!" she says, then sighs and continues to work. Pewter runs around, back to moving pieces of wood, and small rocks. Emraldae picks up smaller items, and drops them on the ever-growing pile. She's helping, yes she is. Mailli nods as Jihann joins her, "Steward's girl is missing. Thinks she might have slipped out for some unchaparoned exploring before everything went to pieces." Mailli grunts a little as she picks up another piece of debris and moves it to the ever growing pile. "Dig in carefully. We don't want to cause the girl anymore injury than she may already have. Nerak huffs as she picks up a rather large rock. She waddles as she moves it from where it was. She can't make it all the way to the pile, but gets it away from the rubble it was near. "I think we're making headway! That pile we're making is getting larger!" She looks over to see Coco helping, as Pewter is. She is removing smaller rocks and sticks, over to teh pile. Smart dog! Musuko sighs, "The poor girl, hope she's alright." She watches the dogs work, and keeps moving to get taht girl out. Pewter barks, but keeps working. Emraldae keeps working, stopping to dissappear and reappear after taking a short drink. Jihann widens her eyes, shaking her head slowly as this information is processed. Biting her lip, she gives a quick nod and sets to work, trying her best to pick up a nearby rock and relocate it to the pile. "I hope she's alright, too," she murmurs softly. Nerak looks around, "Well, with all of these people around, we're sure to find her, if she's here. I over heard Geraint saying this is a place she likes to frequent, but noone knows if she is really here... But we are working hard to find her. By teh way, I'm Healer Journeywoman Nerak. This is my dog Coco, My mentee Musuko and her dog Pewter adn her flit Emeraldae. We were just walking by and joined in to help." [OOC:] Kiriya hihis! May I join thy RP? Geraint Geraint's heart was beginning to pound as he and the other four people scrabbled, searching, through the rubble. He MUST find the girl! The ground trembled again, sending loose rock shifting and tumbling. Geraint swallowed hard, fear drying his throat. This was what he had trained for... to save whom he could, or at least find the dead for proper burial. But this wasn't like the training... all Pern was in chaos. He swallowed convulsively again, calming his breathing. If the girl was here, they would find her. And if he moved quickly enough she would have a good chance. His heart swelled with the idea of lending his hands to help others, yet his very soul shrank from the destruction of his world. The rocks under his feet shifted again as the earth rumbled and he almost lost his balance. The aftershock threw Mailli off balance as well, and she took longer to find a firm purchase for her feet. She was concentrating so hard that there was no way for her to hear the cracking of the remaining beams overhead; even Geraint didn't hear them until it was too late. He looked up in horror as he saw the strong, thick wood falling faster than a diving dragon. He opened his mouth to cry out, but knew she would never move quickly enough. In that instant, Geraint's true self shone as bright as the sun... the part of him that made Search and Rescue his calling. With no thought to himself, he dove forward, his hands connecting solidly with Mailli's shoulder blades and forcing her forward; but Geraint had overbalanced himself and he fell forward. He didn't have time to pick himself up as he felt the wind preceding the falling beam, then starbursts of white pain through his body as blackness closed in. A soft moan escaped his lips as his head fell forward into the stone, his body pinned and broken by the huge peice of splintered log. [OOC:] Rallaei says "What a think to walk in to." [OOC:] Jihann grins [OOC:] Jihann says "Join in? ;)" [OOC:] Rallaei is planning on it... Musuko gasps, and runs over, immediatly ready to help him. "What happened?" she calls, as her dog and flit come to help move the beam. "Let's get this off him." she calls, reacting like she was trained to. Geraint pages, "also add a concussion in :)" Nerak drops the stone she was carrying, carefully and runs to help with the new emergency. She runs to help move the beam off of Geraint as soon as possible. "Wow, could have some serious injuries there... I'm glad Coco's pack is full of supplies." "Thanks, N'pisee!" Kiriya gives a quick hug to the greenrider ferrying her, one of the dragonriders called down to assist the Healer Hall in bringing out supplies to the various holds, halls, and weyrs affected by the quaking and whatnot. But, immediately, she drops the box (Thank goodness it's strong) when she sees what's happened. "Dear Faranth. More quake injuries, I presume?" She ambles over to her sister Musuko and ranker pal Nerak. "Musuko, the beam may be a bit too heavy for a dog and a firelizard and a girl to move alone... it's rather large." Mailli sits where she was thrown and just stares. She can feel her body begin to shake, no help for it, she was going to crash emotionally just as hard as Geraint had physically. Mailli could feel her body curling in on itself, for all that she fought to keep from losing control, from seeing her beloved brother's dead and broken body, and oh how very much Geraint looked like him right now. Tears spring unbidden to her eyes as she begins to rock back and forth. Those stupid quakes just wouldn't leave her alone. Turning her head as the introductions begin, Jihann heaves a large rock into the rock pile and heads back for another. "I'm Jihann, dolphineer apprentice," she adds to those around. Although the work is hard, pure adrenaline is racing through her, lending her strength. She turns as she hears the rumbling earth, watching in horror as the beam falls - appearing almost to move in slow motion. She nearly drops the rock she holds, giving a startled shriek. Setting down her load, she immediately rushes over to aid the fallen man before glancing towards Mailli, wishing with all her heart that she could comfort the girl. Rallaei comes back, a bit refreshed from his recent sojourn to the Pub, and thus not at all in the situation, arriving just in time to hear the crash, and to wince. "Shardit," is muttered. You go away for one minute, and these people who just don't understand rock and building get themselves in trouble... "What're you all standing there for? Don't you think that maybe we should try to get some of that stuff /off/ of him? Don't move the body though," is added with a snort, and Rallaei's running in. Here he comes to save the daaaaaaaaay! Pewter barks, then walks to Mailli, and rubs against her, licking at her hands and face. Emraldae also flies over to help with the girl, cooing softly and nuzzling her. Matti flies screaching back to Mailli. His eyes whirling in a fast angry red red as he lights on her shoulder and hisses at anyone that tries to come close. Nerak looks the situation over. "I don't know if we can get the beam off until we get teh rubble out from around him... if we move the beam now, the rocks will fall on him. We need to lessen the weight on him first, get the rocks out, and then take hte beam off if it's possible." She helps to lift the beam to get the weight off of the man. Musuko grabs the beam, glad that her dog and flit were helping the girl. "Let's get this off!" she says, straining to move it. Emraldae chirps meaningully at Matti, letting him know that she and the dog were helping. [OOC:] Kiriya says "You skipped Geraint. :)" [OOC:] Mailli oopsies! [OOC:] Nerak says "oops... hehe... sorry Geraint!" [OOC:] Geraint says "i am unconcious no poses from me" [OOC:] Kiriya says "Oh." [OOC:] Jihann ahs. Mailli absently scratches first the dog, then her flit. Eyes wide and unseeing as she does so. "Remove the rubble." Kiriya, senior apprentice she may be, is acting a little more authoritative than her rank probably allows, but... rarely does she get so grandiose. "Because it's probably making it more painful, so lessen the pain." Pragmatic, too. Scootching down to the dolphincrafter's side, she scoops away the rubble carefully while Nerak and Musuko hold the beam. "Eh... Ner? 'Suko? Can you perhaps tell those dogs and firelizards of yours to get something to support this gigantic thing so we can heal?" Jihann nods, shifting her eyes from face to face as instructions are commanded. She quickly hurries over to help support the beam so as to keep the weight off of the body beneath. Rallaei turns to Nerak, a look of disbelief clearly plastered over his face. "No, y'think?" is questioned a bit sarcastically, the pile of debris on Geraint eyed cautiously. "Start at the top, don't move anything if anything is on top of it, and don't put weight on it- we don't want to cause any more caving in- chances are these aren't settled, just fallen and all. Trust me on this one." Rallaei is, after all, (and for those who weren't here before) rather experienced with rocks and climbing on them and their movement. And was feeling particularly in control before he left, so thus the scramble to try and get that feeling back. Musuko starts to grab rocks, and prop it up off him, so she was using the rubble to help him. "Use the rocks and make a support for the beam." she says, and continues to do so. Geraint a slight moan comes from gerasint as the beam is shifted ever so slightly Nerak looks over at Rallaei in disbelief. Was a mere apprentice talking this way to a Journeywoman? And a teenager speaking this way to an adult? "Excuse me for saying the obvious, apprentice. But I didn't know you had been here before. I didn't know if you knew what to do. It is in my training to be obvious and to tell crowds what to do in emergencies." She turns back to holding the beam, "Can you see anything Kiri? As soon as it's safe to get him out, we need a clean area to take him to..." Musuko helps get the rubble off, and watches as pewter quickly moves enugh rubble to make a clearing for the man. "Put him there if you can get him out." she pants to her sister. She moves a few more rocks, making sure that it was plenty stable before taking more. Jihann helps clear rubble, working quickly and with all the energy she possesses. She glances up as the apprentice gets a stern talking to and then hurries back to work, looking troubled. Mailli rocks back and forth, knees drawn to her chest, just staring at nothing. Well strictly speaking that wasn't true, but to the casual observer, it was true enough. Coco is digging rubble out of the area as she was taught to do. She is careful to make sure not to create more problems. Rallaei starts with picking the rocks from the top, giving a faintly apologetic look Nerak's way. "Forgive me then," is offered through clenched teeth, "But one would assume it's common sense." And then back to removing rubble and piling them, as suggested by... someone... for support for the beam. Rock picking. Mmm. "I'm extremely familiar with the infirmary here," Kiriya points out. "And moving the broken bone is probably the stupidest thing one can do... Nerak, can you set it right out here?" Looking over to Mailli, she points. "Mailli. Help us clear away rubble to help treat him." She recognizes the young woman from other times she's been in emergencies. "We need all the help we can get." Mailli blinks a time or two and seems to have heard, but is unable to comply. Her body locked in a long ago terror that she is unable to break out of. Musuko nods to Kiri. "Let's see to what extent his injuries are." she says, "Then we need to decide whether it's safer to move him or not... because if this falls again when we're working, he's not gonna make it." she states before moving more rocks to the support position. Nerak chuckles, "Rallaei, you would be surprised, then, to see how much commom sense is thrown out the window in situations such as these. I'm glad you have a clear head about you, but many wouldn't." She turns her attention back to Kiriya. "I can if someone can take my place holding the beam. "Kiri, can you see his eyes? Are they equal? Does he have any lumps on his head? We certainly dont' want to move him if there is evidence of a back or neck injury..." Jihann glances towards Mailli as she hears her name being called. She bites her lip, worried since the woman looks to be suffering from shock. Though Jih's not a healer... She quickly steps up to take Nerak's place and holds the beam steady. once a clear veiw of geraint is seen, there is blood in 3 places, his lower left leg which is also bent at a weird angle, his right lower arm also at odd angle and a gash on his forehead. Rallaei gives a snort, biting back, no doubt, a comment about the uselessness of those people who lose their heads in these times. He'll simply suffice with an, "I'll take it as a compliment, then," to the journeywomen, and step back a bit. "So we've cleared him off... What do you guys need? I can get stuff, if need be..." Seeing as people are already holding up the beam, and he doesn't want to crowd the place... Musuko watches the others, then walks to Mailli, and takes her hand. "I think she needs water." she tells Emmy to get water in a mug, and watches as the flit gets it and flies to her. Of course being a small flit with a big mug she drops it, over Mailli. Nerak smiles back at Jihann, "Thank you very much!" Then to Rallaei, "Yes, you should be proud that you don't loose your head in emergencies." She then sighs. "We can't move him then... we need to clear the rubble around him in a diameter, so that nothing will fall back on him if there is another quake." She kneels down on the ground next to him and calls her dog Coco over. "Ok, Kiri, All of my supplies are in Coco's pack. I'm going to need plenty of redwart, numbweed, several long sticks for splints from the pile over there, and bandages." She begins to lightly run her hands over the broken arm, feeling for the damage within. [OOC:] Jihann Acks and hasta go. :( "Eegads. Um, Nerak, Musuko, this isn't just a single break. He's got at least two and there's an incredible gash on his forehead. Bleeding pretty badly, too." Kiriya gawks at the sight. "Well," she says, turning to Rallaei, "you could do us a favor and get us a clean sheet so we could get him off of this dirt. Do you know where the infirmary is? It's right off of the common room at the Hold," the braided young senior apprentice points out with a practiced smile. She's one of the most senior among her rank at this point. "Nerak, it looks like your talents are quite needed here," she remarks with a bit of a grin as she crouches down by Geraint and wets a cloth that she draws from her bag with some water from her waterskin. Mailli blinks a few more times, inwardly aware that she should be helping. Outwardly unable to do much of anything. Wretched memories freezing her in place. A sudden shower of cold water makes Mailli cough, and Matti hiss as he launches towards Musuko, "Matti, /no/!" she shouts at the flit, who then pops ::between::. Rallaei frowns upon hearing about more rubble moving and all sorts. "A sheet... Right... Y'sure y'wanna move him though?" As the apprentice with a Mind Of His Own (scary thought) hesitates a moment, peeking towards Nerak. He was listening to her comments, after all... Mailli blinks once or twice more as she again spots Geraint, with shakey hands she opens her ruck and digs around inside it. Pulling out her own numbweed, "I have some numbweed if it would help?" Mailli's voice breaks and she has to fight to keep from going hysterical. [OOC:] Kiriya phooies. I have to scoot, it's getting late. Bubye, y'all! RP me still helping. Musuko blinks at the flit as it blinks out, then laughs. "Dont' worry, Emmy would have stopped him." she says as Emmy nuzzles the girl, and flies to a branch. "Are you feeling better now?" she asks, pulling a blanket out of her pack and wrapping it around Mailli. "Here, don't get sick." she says, smiling. Nerak looks down at Rallaei, "No, we can't move him, Kiri. We do need to get the rubble away from him and the beam off of him. If you all will work on that, I'll see to his arm." At this, she walks over to the pile of rubble, picks out several sticks the right size and brings them back to the work area, now getting cleaner. "You all are doing a wonderful job cleaning this out!" she says as she looks around at everyone. "Ok, here we go." [OOC:] Rallaei must be off, now... So ICly he'll probably clear rubble, rig something to hold it all back with his rope (he has a rope, hee) and yeah. Or at least try to. Occupy himself with that. Musuko goes back and lifts the board a bit, now that the rocks are off of it.. "Mailli, we need help!" she says, "He's really hurt." she uses her strength to move the board a little bit. Pewter ambles over and gets under the board to push it up with his back. "Good dog." 'Suko mutters. Mailli pulls the blanket about herself, very much wanting to just curl up and go to sleep. Instead... After a moment or two, she stands and moves to help clear the debris from around Geraint. Looking to see what else she might do to help. Nope, search and rescue was not the right place for her. Stick to the maps and the books. Research, now that was where she really shines. Nerak then feels the arm, realizing that one of the bones in the lower arm is broken. She lightly feels the arm, feeling where the bone is displaced and how she is to put it back. She lines the sticks up along the arm, and readies the bandages. She then rubs redwart on the area where the blood is to clean it out. Then slathers the area with numbweed and waits for it to take effect. She then pulls on the arm, gently, until it is far enough so that the bone falls back into place with some nudging... and quickly begins to bandage the arm so that the sticks hold the arm in proper alignment. "Ok, this arm is done. Is the rubble away from his leg yet? Musuko nods, and keeps holding the board with her dog, and a few other flits that hhave showed up. as the rocks and rubble are being removed from the area around geraints leg, another moan escapes from his lips as his eyes flutter open for a moment and one word escapes before he falls back unconcious "Mailli" Several men hear the noise from the hill and offer to help clear the area. They are warned about the possiblity of a child being trapped in the other rubble, so work carefully to clear the rubble and free Geraint as quickly as possible. They are able to remove the beam from off of the trapped man fairly quickly, and continue to clear the rubble away from the broken body. Mailli looks up from what she is doing and over to Geraint. Did he just speak? "Is... Sh..er.. Geraint going to be alright?" Mentally she chides herself for nearly calling Geraint by her brother's name... Her brother's and her best friend's. Musuko looks at the girl. "I think so.. Journeywoman Nerak and senior apprentice Kiriya are the best... I know both of them well." she says, then blushes. "I'm Healer Senior apprentice Musuko, or just 'Suko." she says, and holds out her hand. "Let's get this cleaned up ok?" she asks, smiling at the girl. Nerak looks up as the men begin to help and clear the rubble. "Wonderful, you had perfect timing. In a few minutes I'll be needing your help with this leg..." She looks up as Geraint utters a word. "Oh, he's coming to. He will be in a lot of pain. Mailli, I'll need you to sit by him and keep him talking. With a head injury, we don't want him to fall back to sleep." She looks at Mailli, "Can you do this? This is an important job. He /must/ not go to sleep." [OOC:] Geraint says "he will wake back up once she starts talkin :)" [OOC:] Nerak says "good! hehe... but the pulling on the broken bones may make him pass out for a bit.. it is quite painful, even with numbweed." Mailli nods and moves to sit next to Geraint. She looks down at Geraint as she seats herself next to him, the tears start up again, this time she doesn't try to get them to stop, "Geraint? You okay? Please say you are?" Mailli speaks in a soft voice that sounds like it should come from a lost little girl. Mailli passes her numbweed to Nerak. Nerak readies some willowsalic tea for Geraint to drink, once he is fully conscious. "Ok, the arm seems to be alright in the splint. Musuko, could you take some of the redwart and see to his forehead injury? Keep an eye on his pupils, make sure they stay equal and reactive... Ok?" She checks to see that the men are still clearing rubble away. "Please make sure it is far enough away so another tremor wont' cause anymore injuries! Also, please keep looking for the girl..." Nerak then proceeds down to Geraint's leg and assess the situation... Geraint 's eyes move but his eyelids don't open as he speaks in a soft voice "Mailli, are ... safe" his breathing steadying a bit but not much, apon hearing someone say check his eyes he trys opening them and only succeades to half way open Musuko walks to his face, and takes out some redwort, and puts it around the injury, humming softly. "Don't move, you've got some broken bones, and Nerak is going to set them. I'm treating your forehead injury, so please stay still." she says, watching his eyes. Nerak slathers his leg with the redwart, then the numbweed adn walks towards Geraint's head and squats down near him while waiting for the numbweed to take effect. "Geraint, you have been injured, as you can probably guess. Your arm is broken, and I set it. You shouldn't feel it since there is so much numbweed on it for now. I have some tea I'd like you to drink if you can. It will help with the pain. I am about to work on your leg, but to set it, I have to pull on it. It will hurt, I won't lie to you, but with teh numbweed, it should not hurt as much as without it!" She looks down at Musuko, "Keep an eye on him." [OOC:] Geraint says "now wehn to have the shock kick in lol" [OOC:] Musuko says "oh great, shock." [OOC:] Geraint says "a set of injuries like this? unless the tea stops shock it is inevitable" [OOC:] Nerak says "yeah... hehe... I'm sure you'll pass out w/the leg pulling though... hehe.. pulling your leg? :) " [OOC:] Nerak says "nope, the tea is the herbal version of aspirin..." [OOC:] Geraint says "your pulling my leg nerak, i know you are lol" [OOC:] Nerak says "hehe... who, me? nah..." [OOC:] Nerak says "not yet anyways! ;)" [HealerRankers] Nerak: Hi, I've been working on a broken arm/leg and concussion as a result of a earthquake. Everything is going Ok so far. We need to move him though... I suppose I should try to get a cart or something? He's on a road, nowhere near the infirmary [HealerRankers] Elehu: Are you alone or with another person (other than the injured) [HealerRankers] Elehu: The easiest in any event is to construct a make-shift stretcher of some sort... [HealerRankers] Sudanna: I agree.. A litter is the best way to move them. [OOC:] Geraint says "oh one other peice of info, reason not bleeding to bad is cause he has his wetsuit under his clothes. the tightness acting like a turoquite. though there is no other bleeding " [HealerRankers] Nerak: I have Musuko w/me, and we're @emitting some men there helping w/the debris. Ok, will see if the brutes can make one! :) Thaks! [OOC:] Nerak says "is teh girl here after all? the one we were searching for? Can the men find her? I was going to have them finish w/teh rubble and not find her, then send one to town to get a wagon to take you to the infirmary..." Musuko nods, and smiles at him. "Don't worry, you'll heal just fine, Nerak is a great healer." she says, and finishes with his head. "Just be glad you don't need stitches." she says, laughing. [OOC:] Geraint says "nope shes not here there was going to be a npc healer or hearder under the rubble somewhere" Mailli absently rubs the curiously shaped bump on her left leg. Any practiced healer would recognize it as an improperly set break. [OOC:] Nerak says "Ok... they'll find him, then Ill have one go to get a wagon that you can both fit in. I ned to have 2 stay to pull your leg..." Geraint s eyes flicker fully open at the realization of what was about to happen as he glaces his eyes about looking for mailli "Are you ok mailli" hoping he got his mentee out of the way, before the tea comment kicks in also "I think.... I can drink something" Mailli nods, "Will be. I'm not hurt at any rate. Well not more than a scratch or two?" So she's lieing through her teeth. She's scared half out of her wits, and look.. Her hands won't stay still, see? Nerak looks to Musuko. "Good, can you help him drink? Or you Mailli? He needs to get a good dose of that in him. Unfortunately, I need to set his leg before we can move him... She then looks at the men who are clearing rubble, and their shouts as they find a body under more rock. "One of you run to town and get a wagon so we can bring teh injured to the infirmary to help them... Also, bring more help!" As this is said, one of the men runs back down the path to the hold proper to do wht he was told to do. "Alright, I see he needs his leg set, but I need to check out the other person." She gets up and walks over to where teh other person was found. Musuko grabs Mailli's hand, and puts a mug of Klah in it. "Drink this while you're talking." she says, then goes back to keeping watch Geraint's eyes. No it wasn't regular Klah, yes it had herbs in it to relax her, yes she was allowed to carry it, Rarah had said so. She takes the tea and helps him drink. [OOC:] Nerak says "would anyone be really upset if the person was dead? I don't like the idea, but would like to either have them OK but unconscious, or dead so that there isn't much more healing involved! I dont' have much more time..." [OOC:] Geraint says "dead is fine only an npc" [OOC:] Mailli says "Dead won't wierd Mailli anymore than she aleady is. Only person that would really shake Mailli right now to have dead would be Geraint. Then I think she would need to be heavily sedated." [OOC:] Nerak says "sure... Makes my job easier.. but hate to find a dead person.... :(" Geraint takes a couple sips of the tea, ack herbal tea always tastes bad but with the numbweed in his system he doesn't bother him much. Noticing Maillis hands shaking he slowly slides his uninjured arm over and softly grasps one of her hands to comfort her "Mai, I will be ok the Healer said i would be" knowing he might not be but trying to reassure himself and mai Mailli takes a sip of klah, "Where did Matti get off to, I wonder?" the question asked without Mailli realizing it. Such a trivial thing really, and something she doesn't often think about. Mailli blinks as she nods her understanding. She knows too that he might not be, but prefers to think he will, "I know. Just keep talking, kay?" Nerak sees that the new person who is found was dead, she closes his eyes, and walks bck to the patient who really needs her. She pushes the thought of the other patient out of her mind for the moment and smiles, "You will be alright, Geraint. Just a broken arm and broken leg. Your head is banged up as well, so make sure you don't fall asleep on us. Alright. As I warned you, it's time to set your leg. Are you ready? Musuko smiles. "You will be alright, your wound is small, and the bones are being set, don't worry." she says. "Don't fall asleep, or I'll pour cold water on you." Geraint releases maillis hand so he won't crush it when the pain shoots through his system and says softly "yes" Mailli sits and watches Geraint, "Keep talking right? Would you like to hear about my sister?" she asks Geraint. [OOC:] Nerak says "Ok, this'll be a long pose... it'll take me a while to write it... pose around me" Geraint smiles as much as he can "Sure I would love to hear about your sister" as he sips somemore tea if it is offered Musuko offers the tea whenever he seems to want it. Geraint whispers before mai starts talking about her sister "someone note I want to file a complaint with the smiths who built this building turns ago (was ruins before the meteor)" Musuko smiles. "I hear that dragons can go ::between:: time... maybe you could." she says, and smiles at him. Nerak calls to the men who were now just staring at the dead man. "I need your help over here" When the men walk over, she says, "I need your help to set this man's leg. I need each of you to grab his leg like this" and points to where their hands are to go. She grabs each of their arms in turn and says, "This is what I need you to do. Pull on his leg like this, slow and steady. I'll be holding his leg and I'll let you know when to slowly let it back in." She demonstrates on each of their arms again. "Do you understand?" When they both nod, she says, "Good. Now, you hold here, you hold here, but don't start pulling until I tell you to." She now makes sure her hands are in the correct position, and are able to feel when the bone goes back in place. "Alright, start pulling, slowly and carefully." Mailli takes another sip of klah before launching into a story about her sister, "Dira, well Sadira actually, helped me to get to the dolphin hall. She knew that I hate being around rocks and such, so she sent a letter to Utoxin, or whomever was in charge at the time." Here she pauses to take a sip, "Sadira and my mother look a lot alike. Mother had really dark hair, and hazel eyes, which Dira picked up. I'm told that I look like my brother, who in turn looked like our grandda." She sniffles a little and takes another sip of klah, starting to feel a little sleepy, "It was mine an Dira's idea to learn to ride, hate runners won't ever trust 'em again, Shadis took us out, and a quake hit. I was thrown..." her voice trails away as she stares first at Geraint, whose leg is being pulled back into place, then off into her own past. Geraint feels the pain starting to shoot through his body. He trys to resist the pain as best as he can but can't and passes back out Nerak feels the leg as it is slowly being pulled. "Good, slowly, yes.. keep going... There! Hold it there!" She felt the bone under her hand slowly slip back into place. She holds it in place, and then tells the men to slowly and /very/ carefully let it in. "VERY slowly! We don't want it to hurt any more than necessary." She holds the leg in place and by the time the men have completely let go, it seems to be holding. "Musuko, can yo get me those sticks there. Please place the sticks on either side of his leg, and start wrapping the leg tightly. I'll keep holding the leg until your bandages reach my hand. Then I'll place them on it again as you wrap over it. I don't want it getting jarred until it is completely wrapped." Seh looks up as the man who went to get the cart returns. "Ok, I need you over here. As soon as we get his leg wrapped, we need a nice, NON bumpy ride bacdk to the infirmary. You can leave the man over there for a second ride. We don't have to hurry for him, unfortunately." Musuko nods, and moves some sticks to where she pointed, and grabs some bandages, carefully wrapping and wrapping, again and again. She let's Nerak's hands move, and keeps wrapping, not jarring the leg in the least. Nerak grins, "Good, Musuko. Nice job. Ok, Believe it or not, it's better that he passed out, it keeps him from feeling the worst pain... Now, carefully, we need to pick him up and place him on the wagon. He doesn't have spinal or neck injuries, we've checked him for that." She orders teh men around... "You hold here, be careful of his leg and his arm. Good. Now, lift him carefully... Ok, now lower him slowly on the wagon... good." She takes a deep breath. "Ok, now we can get him back to the infirmary. Let's go a a slow pace, making sure not to jostle him too much..." [OOC:] Musuko says "gonna go.. tired............." [OOC:] Mailli says "Time for me to go too." [OOC:] Nerak says "Ok... bye all.thanks for the RP" [OOC:] Geraint says "bye Nerak :)" [OOC:] Nerak says "Ok, you can say he was taken to hte infirmary and taken care of there..." [OOC:] Nerak says "I was going to say in my next pose that She accompanied him to the infirmary and passed him off to hte Master Healer there..." [OOC:] Geraint says "ok"
