It's Block Party time! June 7th to June 10th!

Who: Siren's Port and You!
When: June 7th to June 10th
Where: The block outside the Newcomer Community Center
Summary: It's a Block Party!
Warnings: Possible language, nothing worse then that.

The block outside the Newcomer Community Center had been bustling ever since the block party had been announced little less then a week ago. There had been much to get done, and there was little time to waste. With the cure being distributed, the NPP's stance on everything was very clear: they would find some way to put a smile back on the peoples faces. There were stalls set up next to each other, one or two each for a different company, business, or an individual who set out to be enterprising and had wares to show. Many booths were selling different foods or drinks, while others had games for people to play. Some stalls were handing out fliers, trying to promote their business. Each stall had a sign hanging from if that proclaimed what they were, and what they were selling. There was a large stage in front of the center that was for entertainment; they had all kinds of shows for the people to watch and listen to as they milled about.

Most games didn't cost much, or they were free, as long as the person understood that a small donation would be appreciated. All proceeds from the block party were going to help those who had been affected the worst by this plague; some were still in the hospital with crippling medical bills, and the NPP was determined to help those less fortunate. Security was milling about, just as a standard precaution against stealing, or some kind of protest, and each protester was given something to eat, drink, and an invitation to join in the festivities.

The block party would be happening from Thursday, June 7th, to Sunday, June 10th. It would open at 11:00 am, and close around 5:00 pm. This was to ensure that everyone has plenty of time to get their stall up and more then enough time to take the stall down before sirens. Nothing would be left outside in the darkness, but also give enough time to let people have fun. Especially those who wanted to dunk the NPP members in a big tub of water.



OOC: Everyone can make their own thread! If you are a company or a person who has rented a stall, you can make your own thread, and it will be linked on the main post. Entertainment will be taking place throughout the day, and anyone who signed up can make their own thread or comment around. All games can make their own thread as well. Alcohol is allowed for anyone of the legal drinking age (which is 17, for those unaware!), and security will make sure nothing gets out of hand. There will be protesters on the edge of the block on Friday, but there will be no violence tolerated.

All threads will be linked on the main post for easier navigation. This post will serve for the entirety of the block party, which is from Thursday to Sunday. If you want, you can put the date in the subject line, otherwise it is up to you and your threadmates to decide when things take place. All stalls are set up for everyday of the block party. Don't forget to tag yourself in.

Have a good time!

Yes. [There's another uncomfortable pause- efforting to be diplomatic.]

I expect that perhaps those who come from place more....familiar with magic might like having that option open, at the clinic?

Do you mean if it were up to me, would I prefer a healer instead of someone coming at me with a knife and whatever they thought might manage to fix what was wrong?

[He just sort of looks at Daedalus.]

Seems like a bit of a daft question if you ask me.

Things must be very different, where you're from. We're not all surgeons either, frankly.
electricitytrick: (I can take some things seriously)

[personal profile] electricitytrick 2012-07-13 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's not like that with you, then? Do you have some other way of, say, healing a broken bone?

[He's genuinely curious; splinting was good if that's all that could be done for the injured person, but a healer could mend the bone in minutes. There wasn't really much contest if people were asked which they preferred.]

Surgical or Conservative treatment may be used- typically we use X-ray to determine if there is a fracture, then immobilize. Osteostimulation can help accelerate the process, there are also powers and other techniques that stimulate or accelerate the speed of natural cell growth, which can be incorporated. That's what I'm still training for specializations in now.

What's extremely important is that we have full knowledge of body systems, and how they interact. In the wrong hands, or used carelessly without proper focus, for instance, my abilities could create cancerous cell clusters.

[Anders blinks a bit.] I'm afraid that some of that doesn't really mean that much to me, but I suppose if you didn't have magic, you'd have to come up with some way of looking at things.

But I do know how the body works. Not much point in teaching someone to heal if they don't know what to do if magic isn't effective, and the tower was pretty good at getting us to learn things like that.
gaveherwings: (all of me)

Good. We'll have to get you on the same page for how to keep everyone's medical records in order then, mostly.
electricitytrick: (but why can't we get rid of the templars)

[personal profile] electricitytrick 2012-07-14 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
Medical records? [He sighs at that idea. This is starting to sound familiar...] Let me guess, more paperwork?
gaveherwings: (Morbid)

[personal profile] gaveherwings 2012-07-14 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Always. Good communication is essential.
electricitytrick: (but why can't we get rid of the templars)

[personal profile] electricitytrick 2012-07-15 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever happened to just asking people things?
gaveherwings: (Bedside Manner)

[personal profile] gaveherwings 2012-07-15 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well there need to be records.
gaveherwings: (intentions)

[personal profile] gaveherwings 2012-07-16 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
So that when we rotate shifts, or if any one of us should disappear, we have records of what's been done with all of our patients.

So if they get transferred to a hospital, in the future, they can call up the clinic and instantly get information about blood type, known allergies, medical history...

All right, all right. I suppose I'll have to get used to that as well, won't I? [He sighs.] As if this place wasn't confusing enough already...
