6th Hat Flip [Accidental Video/Action]

[immamartillo]

[Somewhere in Luceti, Firo's draped over a tree branch, asleep and freshly returned from his mallynapping. He looks a little worse for the wear, but he's out of the woods (figuratively) now, isn't he?

Unfortunately, gravity's not going to give him a break today, and as soon as he shifts in his sleep Firo goes tumbling to the ground. How's that for a wake up call?

It's not far of a fall, but Firo's incredibly ungraceful landing doesn't do him any favors. There's a crunching sound as he hits the ground, twisted around so that he lands on his left hand.]

Ah-! Ow-! Shit!

[Firo stays lying like that for a moment: both in the process of waking up and cursing everything from the malnosso to the tree- whatever he can blame for this situation. Then, with some reluctance, he rolls onto his side and stares at his hand with a mixture of pain and consternation. Unlike what he's become used to over the past few years, it stays stubbornly broken. His eyes widen. This is not how it's supposed to work...]

What? Why isn't it-?

[He tries to flex his fingers and winces; it's then that he catches a glimpse of his journal lying open nearby. Great. Of course it had to show off one of his less dignified moments.]

Damnit... Are you kiddin' me?

[Sighing and gritting his teeth against the pain, he pulls himself into a sitting position. Arms crossed over his chest, he takes a deep breath and tries to recover some aplomb.]

So... Guess I'm back. Screw this place.

[ooc: Firo's back from being mallynapped and is now going to be without his immortality for a while. After a few weeks it'll return to its normal Luceti dampened state.]

Comments

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Whoa...

[It's a relief to see Firo's alive and kicking - although alive and cursing would be more fitting. That was a rough, painful-looking landing, man; there isn't a trace of amusement on Mac's face as he witnesses it. It isn't quite as insignificant as stumbling over a branch, after all.]

...Geez. Y'okay?

[immamartillo]

[Fortunately (or not) Firo's become rather accustomed to dealing with injury by now. That doesn't make this experience much more pleasant, though.]

Yeah, yeah- well, not really. I dunno.

[He runs his uninjured hand through his hair, sighing.]

I really woulda' appreciated a less painful welcome, ya know?

[thelittlemacthatcould]

You an' me both.

[Unfortunately, the seeming casualness of his friend's response does not quite set his mind at ease; how much of this was Firo undermining the extent of his injuries?]

...How's y'other hand? If y'need ice or wraps, I can get 'em to ya real quick.

[immamartillo]

Other one's fine. Guess I didn't land too badly, huh?

[He forces a laugh and glances at his hand. Yep, still not fixing itself.]

What the hell's goin' on? ...Actually, if you could get some ice I'd appreciate it.

[meritocracy]

Oh my. That looked like it hurt. Do you require some assistance on making your way back?

video;

[immamartillo]

Yeah, ya think?

[He bites his tongue as soon as that's out of his mouth; if she's offering to help he shouldn't snap at her.]

Don't think anything happened to my legs, so I should be able to walk fine... Just need to figure out where I am, exactly.

[You know, once he actually feels like getting up.]

video;

[meritocracy]

I could try helping you with that as well.
[ her face sobers a bit ]
I know how it is to be lost in this place more than I'd like.

video;

[immamartillo]

Really? I'd appreciate that. There's just a buncha' trees around here... Which pretty much describes everywhere in Luceti.

[He stops looking around and glances back at the journal.]

Whaddaya mean by that?

[Video]

[lostinmyway]

Firo?

[Oh, my. That looked painful.]

Are you all right?

[Video]

[immamartillo]

[Firo's about to snap back with a sarcastic comment, until he fully processes who it is speaking over the journal.]

...Oh. Hi, Grune. I'm fine, I think...

[He gives her a little wave with his injured hand to prove just that. It doesn't exactly go as planned; he gasps and barely manages to hold back another wave of cursing.]

[Video]

[lostinmyway]

[Even Grune winces at that one.]

Where are you? I can come and heal you right up, okay?

[Video]

[immamartillo]

Really? You sure about that?

[The offer perks him up a bit; he's gotten a bit too used to the easy fix his immortality gave.]

Hang on, I'll go check...

[He walks away- moving gingerly to avoid causing himself additional pain- and returns a moment later.]

I'm by community buildin' 2. Is that near where you are?

video

[bravefighter]

Well uh... welcome back!

[That looks pretty painful.]

Do you need help or anything?

video

[immamartillo]

Thanks. I'm just tickled pink to be back.

[He sighs and drops the sarcasm.]

No, it should...

["It should fix itself," is what he wants to say, but as he gives his hand another look it becomes clear that that's not happening.]

...Uh, I'll be fine. I hope. Some place has gotta have ice around here somewhere, right?

video

[bravefighter]

Hey, you could've come back at a worse time!

[Small victories!]

Yeah, there's some ice around. Poli has ice beam, so that might help!

video

[immamartillo]

[It takes a little moment, but finally Firo nods and smiles slightly.]

Guess you're right about that. 'Least the tree didn't fall on me, huh?

...Who's Poli?

[Though it seems like it should be slightly threatening, an ice beam doesn't sound entirely unwelcome to Firo.]

[voice] y--

[presumablyalone]

F-Firo!!! [Whatever happened, it sounded like it hurt. That instantly lets off some alarms in Seto's head. He's never seen Firo get hurt before so he's really worried.]

Are you okay? Where are you??

[voice] WHY

[immamartillo]

Seto!

[Suddenly whatever pain he's feeling is inconsequential. How could he just leave Seto like that? The poor kid's been alone enough and he's one of those friends Firo doesn't trust to take care of themself.]

Are you-? Damn it, I-I'm so sorry... Are you alright?

[voice] because every time you open this thread you will see what i just did

[presumablyalone]

W-What are you apologizing for? Of course I'm okay! You're the one who's hurt!! [Well at least he's pretty sure he's hurt.]

What happened??

[action]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ She doesn't immediately recognize him from the experiment, but Arietta happens to be out in the woods and sees Firo fall. That didn't look intentional, so she heads towards him to see what happened.

She doesn't need to get too close before she notices how he's treating that hand. ]

Moving it like that probably isn't good for you.

[action]

[immamartillo]

Huh? Yeah, I realize that now.

[He'll stop messing with it for the moment.

Wait, she's familiar, but he's pretty sure he doesn't remember her talking before.]

Hey, aren't you that kid..?

[Way to be specific, Firo.]

[action]

[wildlittlegirl]

What kid?... [ She looks to his hand again. ] You shouldn't climb trees if you're going to hurt yourself.

[ Give it a few more moments, recognition hasn't clicked just yet. ]

[voice] Still going on that over a month late thing awyeah

[devourthemfirst]

[Czes normally wouldn't concern himself with something like this. He knows Firo is an idiot but something about this doesn't seem right. Especially since he seems like he's still in pain.

Whatever broke or got cut would've healed by now]

What happened?

[voice] Maybe you're just -11 months early!

[immamartillo]

Goddamnit-!

[He growls and grits his teeth against the pain. Okay, even if it's not healing up he can deal with this. Maybe. It's taking more effort than he would've thought to not cry out.]

Hey, Czes.

[So nice to see you.]

[voice] that makes it sound even worse

[devourthemfirst]

[Answer his question Firo c'mon] You're not healing, are you?
