Aftershock - Forward Dated to after Port West

[ceasetoexist]

A. Locked to Residents of 502 Ricardo

[Oh hey, look who's back from his trip to the island? Also looks who's continuing to rummage through every medicine cabinet, and just plain cabinet in the house that he can find? Yep. Right shoulder is still broken like a motherfucker, and he's looking for where he put the painkillers.]

B. Phone

So hey. I currently have reason to be suspicious of going to the hospital, so I'm wondering if there's any healer types or some crap in town who'd be willing to have someone come to their house or go to someone's house? My stupid friggin' arm is busted. I don't know if I can fully pay for help immediately, but give me time and I'll pay it off.

[A pause. A long one, like he forgot to hang up the phone. And then.]

Hey. Stupid. You know who you are.

[Another pause. ...He's sorry.]

Nothing personal. So don't blame me for what happened.

Phone - Filtered to Mindy

Are you alright? I'm sorry I didn't get to keep checking in but....you're okay, right?

Phone - Filtered to Little Slugger

Hey.













Thanks. For helping me out a few days ago. Thank you.

[Yeah. This has not been a good week for his ego.]

Heh. Don't see why. Though I guess if you didn't have a letter, not much to do anyway.

I never got one.

[Speaking of getting things...]

Did your stuff come back?

[phone | filtered]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It did. Josephine's back to full strength.

Are you blue again?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yes I'm blue again.

You ugly again? Oh wait, sorry. Somehow forgot you never lost that.

Please hold.

[He puts down the phone. Seconds later, you may feel something flick the back of your head.]

Huh? What're-

[Oh, that's what you're doing, you jerk. Yeah, he's going to try and whirl around and smack you with the phone now.]

[phone action?]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Smacked on head with phone. It smarts but it doesn't stop him from grinning like a bastard. He may be trying to grab away the phone now just to show you what it felt like.]

[He's snickering a bit as he tries to keep the phone from slipping out of his grasp, but it's inevitable that Slugger gets it out of his hands. Yeah, turning to try and run off now before you can actually whack him Slugger.]

[He'll take a swing at you with the receiver but a phone is really nothing like a bat so he misses. The phone also has a cord attached so he can't chase after you very far before he has to let go of it.

Instead he'll be grabbing the nearest cordless object and throwing it at you. What it is depends on what room they're in so it could be anything from a from a pillow to a shoe to a piece of fruit.]

[Ow GODDAMMIT why do apples hurt? They aren't that hard. He wobbles a bit as he gets hit before grabbing for a book and trying to fling it at you before bolting towards the living room.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[That's right. You run and hide, Pokey. He'll be there in a minute---he's stopped to grab a few grapes. And that book you threw at him? It is now his "battle shield". Prepare!]
