immamartillo | 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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.

I was unconscious...

That's a nice thing to say to the guy who gave you a place to stay.

[His tone is light, for now, but he's getting annoyed. Though the pain--no matter how hard he tries to shut it out--really doesn't help.]

I didn't say all the time you know.

[It's not rude if he didn't say 'all the time' sheesh /shot]

Still not somethin' somebody wants to hear, you know. How do I annoy you?

[Maybe he annoys some people... But surely Czes isn't one of them? He's (comparatively) nice to Czes!]

The manner in which you like to make a situation 'fun' is one way.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

I didn't think you would.

Well, what do you see wrong with it?

Wouldn't you consider causing havoc for others for your own personal entertainment is wrong? [ ...Czes really shouldn't be talking right now. Not that he causes havoc for entertainment but he likes to stir things up for his own benefit.

Like hiring to kill people to find one person]

Jesus, you make it sound like I'm-!

[He breaks off before he can finish and shakes his head angrily. Szilard liked to screw things up for his own enjoyment. Firo just... well, the trouble he causes is harmless, right? He's not so sure.]

Whatever. I'm gonna get myself back home.

[Oho, did he poke at a sore spot or something? That intrigues him]

Makes you sound like you're what?

Never mind. It's none a' your business.

[He gingerly rises to his feet.]

It's not very nice to keep secrets, you know. [ ...Again. Czes should not be talking right now]

And it's not nice to go pokin' your nose where it doesn't belong. You might lose it.

I'll get it back. I'm not concerned about that. [Because being an immortal is a thing :D]

[voice] yep. An under cover agent. The jig is up

[voice] You'll never take me alive!
