Student Council/Reserves Mixer and CPR Class, Friday Afternoon

Okay, so this wasn't the happiest event Student Council or the Reserves had ever put together.

It wasn't even in the top fifty.

Still, there were some of the trappings of a standard student event: Free food, for one, represented by a table of pizzas. Odd decorations -- CPR dummies, in this case.

And, of course, people standing in the front of the room waiting to talk.

"Hey," Quinn said. Her hair was pulled back simply , and she looked tired. "We know this is not the best week, so thanks for coming out. A lot of us are feeling sort of run down by what's going on, and we wanted to get people together outside the library. There's pizza, and if you want to brush up on CPR, Dave and Wesley are both pretty handy."

She glanced over to Wes now to see if he wanted to add anything.

"We'll be doing some demonstrations in a brief while," Wesley said. "In the meantime, help yourself to anything you'd like to eat, enjoy yourselves, er, as best you can, and feel free to come to us with any questions you might have."

Way to put people in the party mood, Wes. Really. Two thumbs-up on that one.

Quinn didn't have much else to add, so she tried to smile and wandered off toward the first aid area and hoped people would follow.

Ender didn't exactly need the training, but he did feel like he needed to be here - to gauge the state of the student body and to talk to whoever he could get his hands on.

And also to eat something, though he mostly did that because the food was there. It was a ritual, in its way.

Peter was here more out of a sense that he was expected to be here. After all, how could he help drag these people out from the muck if he didn't know what was going on?

Still, he was not in his element here, but he was making an effort - for once - not to let it show.

Topher was here. One might argue it had something to do with the fact that there was food.

A wiser someone would argue that he was a little bit freaked out and wasn't crazy about the idea of being by himself. Usually solitude was comforting, but his research yesterday hadn't exactly reassured him, and at this point it just felt smarter to be where people were. For now, anyway.

Natalie showed up mostly because this was one of those things that were supposed to be useful, and she couldn't bear to be anything but sensible right now.

She watched on, impassively, and took a slice of pizza but failed to actually eat it.

Annie wasn't going to be sticking around here while bad stuff was happening, but she still took her role as Co-President seriously and thought it was important to be here.

Also she was a really good hugger, if anyone needed.

Dave felt kind of excited that he actually had something he could contribute to the student effort. This also helped him from going completely insane and running to his throwing knives for comfort and protection. Which was probably a good thing.

Karla was also not at her best this afternoon. But she was here and that was...something? Maybe.

She wasn't even attacking the pizza. No real appetite today.

Dolf mostly looked antsy. While he knew CPR and he could easily help, he was helpless to do anything in another capacity.

It made him want to go hide behind something.

Quinn was rather slowly picking at a piece of pizza and trying to work up some enthusiasm for the CPR.
