Chumley Metrodora, Drashir Blitzen
Dale - Chumley's EMT partner
[6:21 PM] GM: Welcome to this background thread. This one is a bit further in the past, when Chumley was still an EMT.
[6:23 PM] GM: The circumstance is an EMT call out to the gym. Someone was … overestimating their abilities, and while Drae caught him when he fell, because “he didn’t need safety equipment” (Drae was on his way over, anyway, because a staff member had called him, spelling out the situation) but the fall was far enough that Drae insisted on medical removal.
[6:24 PM] GM: And it was good that he did, because at least one lumbar vertebrae was definitely slipped or bulging, and there might have been cervical damage as well.
[6:26 PM] GM: Chumley’s bus was the one on the scene.
[8:06 PM] Chumley Metrodora: My Partner and I (Dale) come into the business. I take a quick look about, and I send Dale out to the bus for a backboard.
[8:08 PM] Chumley Metrodora: Who can direct me the patient?
[4:10 PM] Chumley Metrodora: As I am looking for my patient, I am also taking in the enormity of the place. The climbing walls. And think to myself, I should come back, with gear, of course, and have some fun.
[4:13 PM] Chumley Metrodora: We do find our patient, and package them up, backboard, and all. And ship them off to the hospital.
[4:13 PM] Chumley Metrodora: A few days later, which is my Weekend, which, that week, turned out to be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It is the best weekend when you work a 5-2, 5-3 work schedule. I come back in, and seek out Drae and the others I had met, asking about the person, we transported out.
[4:13 PM] Chumley Metrodora: And inquiring as to membership, and what not.
[4:10 PM] Chumley Metrodora: Over time I find I am becoming a regular at the Drae's Wall place, going several times a week, and enjoying the challenges that come with climbing.
[6:12 PM] Drae Blitzen: I remember hearing that one of the EMTs was asking about the situation. so if I was indisposed, I would make sure the staff alerted me when the individual came back through. I assumed they wanted a statement or some such.
[6:13 PM] Drae Blitzen: Imagine my surprise when I found that they had become quite the regular while I was indisposed.
[6:44 PM] Chumley Metrodora: So what did happen to that guy we pulled out of here, some time ago?
[6:47 PM] Drae Blitzen: Oh him? He still comes through every now and again. He has to wear a neon harness with bells for the next 6 months and climb with the kids for the next 3, but he's eating his humble pie overall.
[6:48 PM] Chumley Metrodora: Sounds you are helping him learn a valuable lesson.
[6:48 PM] Chumley Metrodora: It's a great shop you have here. I love these walls. But I may be looking for something more challenging. Any thoughts?
[6:49 PM] Drae Blitzen: Depends on your goals, and your previous history.
[6:52 PM] Chumley Metrodora: You have seen me on the walls here.
[6:52 PM] Chumley Metrodora: I also have some, well lets call it, military experience.
[6:52 PM] Chumley Metrodora: As well as the medical and rescue I do for a living.
[6:53 PM] Chumley Metrodora: Goals ... are pretty open. Work hard, have fun, meet new folks along the way.
[6:53 PM] Chumley Metrodora: Try not to get hurt doing it.
[6:54 PM] Chumley Metrodora: Maybe meet a girl, if I am lucky.
[6:57 PM] Drae Blitzen: Chuckles and hands a card to Chumley: Here's the time on the modified hard wall over there. Come back at the end of the night with whatever gear you need. When the place clears out, if you can hit the time or faster, you can use the extra special wall downstairs. As long as you can keep a secret.
[6:57 PM] Drae Blitzen: The time is within line of a person with military experience who is in tune with their gear.
[7:00 PM] Chumley Metrodora: This should be fun. slight smile
[7:00 PM] GM: Chumley is, indeed able to hit the time, almost a second and a half to spare.
[7:01 PM] Drae Blitzen: Smiles at the time. So all that's left is the second part about secrets...
[7:02 PM] Chumley Metrodora: The government thinks I can keep a secret.
[7:03 PM] Chumley Metrodora: And I am happy to for you as well, if it gets me some new adventure
[7:06 PM] Drae Blitzen: The government thinks the President can keep a secret. smirks But I got a funny feeling they may be right about you. And if my feeling is correct, then new adventures could be on the horizon for you...
[7:10 PM] GM: Chumley is inducted into some of the secret places in this place of business. It is possible that he even takes his niece through here.
