Hello- everyone. Whatever we are.

My name is Doctor Bruce Banner. I'm- [not that kind of doctor, actually, but not going to overcomplicate this with semantics when the reality is he's perfectly capable.] -collecting medical supplies, and a record of who here knows what amount of first aid.

If any of you have any untreated injuries that you'd like to be seen, please let me know.

And a message, for going forward. One of the serious issues that we're going to have with this place will be dealing with the possibility of infection. Individually tailored cocktails of antibiotics are just not a reality right now. The supply of ointment is low.

That means that when you get cut, you need to take it seriously and you need to treat it immediately. Use soap, and warm water, and scrub your cuts. I know it's painful, if it isn't painful you're doing it wrong, but you need to take a soft clean cloth or a soft-bristled medical brush or sponge, and you need to scrub, with soap, under as steady a stream of hot clean water as you can get your hands on. Especially if there was dirt in the cut, or if you were bitten by some kind of animal. Obviously wash your hands as well before dressing a wound. So, that's the bad news, I guess?

If you need help, you can always get in contact with me. If you've got any first aid training, please get in touch here so we can pool our resources. Same thing if you'd like to get training.

If you're interested in helping, or learning to help at all, I have a building with electricity that I'm trying to clean and disinfect to the point where it will serve as a makeshift clinic until we can all get out of here.

Yes. It was nice to meet him, he's obviously bright- dedicated.

[He says, with a nod.]

I enjoyed it.

[There's probably no point in threatening Bruce. The idea that Ronan will try to hurt him if Adam in any way comes to harm may as well be implied, with all of the violence and obvious dedication Ronan has to them.

So instead he nods, snakelike as he slips off the table.]

He's smart as fuck. Good at stitches, too.

[There's a slight pause, a vaguely softer consideration before Ronan continues, his voice slightly less edged.]

He'll undersell himself. Don't believe him when he says he's not good at something.

[zen_en_vert]

He's lucky to have a friend like you.

[He promises, with a nod.]

Thank you for your hard work with all of this. These supplies will hopefully do some good.

[greywaren]

[Ronan isn't sure what to do with the compliment, so he just doesn't respond to it, instead offering a short nod at the comment about their supplies.]

I'll be back in a week or so, if we're not all fucking dead by then.

[Still a likely possibility, in his mind.]

[zen_en_vert]

Or out.

[Bruce is still determined to get home.]

[greywaren]

[Ronan shrugs his shoulders once, grabbing at the bag he'd brought, now that the supplies have been delivered. He makes sure that all of the things inside are set on the counter before he slings it over his shoulder again.]

Be careful what you wish for, man. Fucking with things, trying to get out- that's how we ended up here in the first place.

[zen_en_vert]

I'll get you to tell me that story, sometime.

[greywaren]

Sometime.

[He agrees, a little mollified by the trip- it didn't quite go as poorly as he was expecting. Nevertheless, Ronan turns to leave shortly afterward, his fingers curling around the crumpled list in his pocket.]
