o18 ★ WHO KEEPS BEDS IN PANS ANYWAY?

[electrowhipit]

... So, I know there's like a million questions being flung around, what with recent events and all. I'm sorry to add one more, but...

What's a bedpan?

Can I ask what happened?

[ he does finally take a seat, though ] Sure. I'm not one to turn down free food.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I won't be going anywhere. It's too damned cold to.

[electrowhipit]

True. You'd better be ready to warm me up when I get there.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I'm ready already, darling.

[He offers you one of the bowls, and a spoon. And is already eating a bowl of his own, having not really eaten a full meal that day. Mainly taste tests and beet peels. Yum.]

I work in the factory, which is the worst place to be, I've soon found out. While I was working, I was already pissed off at the way things were there--so when I saw one of the bosses trying to hit someone into working again, I lost my patience and drove my fist right into that mug of his.

And then I walked out.

[He smiles, and tastes a bite.]

Probably not my crowning moment of brilliance.

[ He damn near chokes on his food- not because it's bad, but because of Hughes' little story ]

They cut off your hand?

[He laughed nervously.]

Welcome to Mayfield? Ah, or Westgrad. Who cares anymore, at this point. Just do me a big favor and try not to do anything extreme. I really don't want to see any familiar faces with limbs missing. Droned, I might be able to handle... but...

[He pauses, putting a spoon full of beets in his mouth.]

[And he makes a face of stoic pride. And a sparkle, perhaps, to the side.]

This is delicious.

[electrowhipit]

I'll see you later, then.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I'll be waiting.

Re: [action]

[electrowhipit]

You're... awfully calm about getting your hand chopped off.

[electrowhipit]

[ A GOOD WHILE LATER, guess who's a-knockin'? ]

Well, panicking or yelling certainly won't make it grow back! And quite frankly, I don't regret what I did at all. It shows I still have a little bit of damn humanity around here.

I'm going to do everything I humanly can to make sure we all survive! I know there will be people I can't help, and I know some of my plans may not work. But trying is what counts, no matter what. And trying will prevent me from having any regrets of who I am or what I did!

[NOM! So proudly and tough-like.]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[It doesn't take him long to open the door, wrapped up in a scratchy-looking blanket.]

So. How many did you get?

[electrowhipit]

Enough, I think. I-- Sideswipe, do you know a man named Hughes?

Re: [action]

[electrowhipit]

[ Just sort of stares at his bowl for a minute. ]

... I don't mean to be rude but... can we get started? I need to get back to Sideswipe.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Only through the phones.

[He steps aside to let him in.] Why?

[electrowhipit]

[ Steps inside, then, shutting the door behind him ]

He met me at the hospital today, to help me with my work, and...

He tried to stand up for one of the workers in the factory- punched one of the bosses over it. [ deep breath ] They cut off his hand, Sideswipe.

Re: [action]

[He smiles. Normally, it'd be a 'lol your booooyfriend, how cute~!' thing he normally does with people, but instead it's a genuine smile.]

Let's show those bedpans who's boss.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He just sort of... stares.]

They... but why would they...? Did they... reattach it...?

[electrowhipit]

To teach him a lesson, I guess. [ a shrug ] And no, they didn't. He just... had a stub, and that was it.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

But they can't...

[He has to lean against the wall.]

... Damn. What... what does that mean for the rest of us?

[electrowhipit]

I don't know, Sideswipe. I'm sorry.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

No... This... isn't your fault. Don't say that.
