6th Hat Flip [Accidental Video/Action]

[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.]

[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?

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.]

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

[He hesitates, nods, then realizes the journal's only on voice.]

...Yeah. Normally it's slower here... Just not this slow.

[He thought as much. And even though he guessed, that's not what he wanted to hear.]

Tell me, did you just return from one of their infamous kidnappings?

[Don't tel him you didn't notice he was gone.]

Yeah, they snatched me about a week ago.

[Hang on, give the rusty wheels in his head a minute to start turning...]

...You think this is 'cause a' that?

There's no doubt it's because of that. I've heard the Malnosso do numerous tests on anyone they kidnap and can take away any of the five senses and any kind of power.

I guess taking immortality away is another thing they can take away. [He can only wonder how it's done though. There's never been a cure or anything for immortality. Once you drank the elixir, it was set in stone.]

They do seem to love screwin' with people. Any idea how long these things last?

[That's right, Firo's been in Luceti nearly a year and hasn't even tried to find that out until now.]

I've heard that kidnapping effects can last from a week up to three weeks. It varies from person to person.

[Good luck with that Firo]

Three weeks!? You gotta be kiddin' me.

So I suggest you keep out of trouble until then--as difficult as that may be for you.

[He's a bit offended; falling out of the tree wasn't his fault!]

Hey, I haven't gotten into much trouble here!

[Baiting someone into hypnotizing him, bullying a 3-inch tall person, accidentally hitting people with snowballs... It's much more innocuous than what he gets up to at home.]

Somehow I highly doubt that.

[Seriously Firo. Seriously. :|]

Honest! There's barely any trouble to be gotten into here.

[Despite his intentions, he sounds somewhat disappointed about it.]

I'm sure you of all people could make trouble if there was none to be found.

[He's a gangster after all. Stirring up trouble can be their specialty.]

Ya think so?

[He struggles to continue looking offended, but hints of a mischievous smile make it through.]

This place does need to be livened up sometimes...

Don't go starting anything unnecessary, okay?

[He doesn't need that on his hands]

I won't. A bit a' fun is hardly unnecessary...

[He keeps his voice low but audible for that last part, just to ruffle Czes' feathers a bit.]

[SIGH]

To you maybe but I'm sure there are other people, like myself, who would rather not be caught up in your idiocy.

Come on, Czes, don't be so harsh. You need to lighten up some.

Why should I lighten up when you want to cause havoc?

You act like that's all I do...

You need to have fun once in a while, Czes.

When do you not cause trouble? [Because c'mon Firo. Remember the dominoes]

I do have fun. Just not in the same manner that you do.

Well...

[He points to the tree and then to his injured hand.]

This whole mess wasn't my fault.

Yeah? Then why do you always seem like you're in a bad mood?

You still could have been more cautious. [Though he really wasn't talking about situations like this]

And I'm not constantly in a bad mood. You just annoy me sometimes.
