I prefer aloe vera, McGruff.

Roman candle?

Okay. Where can I get it?

Is it expensive?

And yeah. Well, more like three roman candles but yeah.

Ha!

No, it's not expensive. You can get it in pretty much any convenience store. Blue-green, has a consistency like jelly. Might have a picture of a koala on it.

First two times didn't take?

Alright, pal.

And not... exactly.

More like three roman candles at once.

Immediately immerse them in cold water for several minutes, unless charred flesh is visible.

If charring is visible, call 911 and get emergency medical assistance, as the burn may lead to shock. If a large blister is visible, go to the local hospital. If a small blister is visible, gently wrap the affected area in gauze and treat it gently. Do not pop the blister, and do not use ice.

Topical cream may be used for minor burns, but should not be applied when the dermis has been burned as well.

There's no charring or blistering, pal!

I've read books on first aid!

If it is red and sore, a gentle soothing lotion, such as Aloe vera, may be applied.

...

This is why I'm still at the clinic at midnight, mm-hmm.

Can't fault the blue lady's first aid advice, and I don't think you need a doctor, son. If it blisters up, come and see me. I'll be here all night. Feh.

I don't think I know where "here" is, pal.

But if you're a doc, might not be a bad idea. I mean, if this "aloe" thing doesn't work.

No problem, Miss Starr. Heck, I think you were there that one time in Wood Shop when...

Er, it's not really important. You probably don't even remember!

You don't burn your lunch specials either, though!

You really need to start being more careful with your hands, detective. :T

Eh, it's not so bad... these things happen, that's all! No big deal, right?

Injuries are very serious things, detective Gumshoe!

How are you supposed to hold a fork or chopsticks or anything to eat those noodles you like, if your hand is all burnt up huh?
