VOICE ; forward dated to the 23rd, late evening

Hey everyone, this is Peter. I'm, uh... Just lemmie-- Okay, I'm gonna preface this with "I'm fine", which... probably still sounds concerning to anyone who knows me. Uh, with good reason, but I promise that I really am fine.

Okay? Okay.

So... okay, you know those freaky tentacle snails that attacked those guys a little while ago? Yeah, they're still around. I ran into a few of them outside the city, and by 'ran into' I mean 'was totally ambushed by'. Like, I was just minding my own business and they jumped out all "Blahhhhgh!" and I was like "oh snap!!", so yeah, we fought a little and I got bit and, y'know, it hurt. And I know the one guy was all "hey call for back up if you see any" and I totally would have if I'd had a chance, but I didn't? I mean, not because I didn't want to, it's just like, in the moment I was a little distracted by trying to get away from the things, and I didn't have my web shooters on me because they're possessed by demons right now? So I wasn't gonna even try to catch one of those guys without my gear, so I left. My toothbrush tried to stab me this morning, I'm not dealin' with this on top of that today. I'm done, I'm tapping out!

Anyway, if anyone else ends up fighting these guys, go for the eyes if you can. They're kind of hard to hit because of all the tentacles, but if you can take their eyes out it slows them down. They're still dangerous, though, like, they will absolutely still try to fight you, so just like, don't stick around if you can help it. In fact, just don't go outside the city by yourself. Don't go anywhere by yourself. Y'know, buddy system up if you can. I don't know how many of these dudes are still out there, but I have a feeling that they're not going away any time soon.

Oh right, I did manage to break a chunk off one of their shells. I don't know how helpful that's gonna be? But I've got it at the lab if anyone wants to see it, assuming you can pry it away from Newt. I also got a photo! It's... not a very good one, but uh, I'll put this somewhere, I guess.

No, it's cool.

[she waits for him to show her the wound and it's a doozy. these creatures were not fucking around. anyone else, she'd insist on magicing it healed, but she knows that he heals real fast]

Could be worse. If it was anybody but you, I'd insist on the whole magic healing thing or stitches if I was feeling sadistic.

No. No. No stitches, please. I just need some like, actual bandages and I'll be good to go.

[he'd just charged in earlier all excited about A SCIENCE and hand't bothered really paying the injury any mind. He stops to actually inspect the wound now that george was looking at it and winces, oooooo dang]

Oh gross, dude. I think I can see my muscles in there. Wow, no wonder that hurts like hell.

I don't have any fresh bandages with me, we'd need to go to the Clinic.

[yes, it's rather gross and is that bone?. jfc, it probably is]

Yeah, no wonder. You sure you don't want me to magic that shit up?

Mmmm. Hmmm...

[It actually does hurt like a motherfucker yeaaaahhhh.]

Yeah. Maybe we should just magic it up. It's not any trouble, is it?

If it was trouble, I wouldn't have offered. Now gimme that arm. [she sounds much nicer and much more caring than her words say. as usual]

I think you would have offered, because you're just super nice that way.

[He may or may not be wearing a shiteating grin as he offers his arm over]

Ehhh. Only to certain people. Lucky you, you get to be one of 'em. [and she takes his arm, places her hand next to the wound, and closes her eyes to concentrate. and slowly but surely, muscle and flesh start to knit back together]

[Man this is still the coolest thing ever, he can't help but watch his arm stitch back up all magic like. GOD IT'S COOL.]

What would it take for me to get on your bad side?

[it is pretty cool. and useful! if only he'd quit needing it so often, but she knows better]

I dunno? Tell me to smile more? Imply that I'm stupid? Those are the two big ones.

[he really is sorry ;A;]

Aw, well, I'm too nice to do that. I guess we're gonna just have to keep being friends.

[ehhh, it's cool. she's glad she can help him like that]

I guess so. We're doomed. Doomed to get along, no matter what! But that's cool, I don't mind.

Oh, good, as long as it's no trouble.

[well, aside from him getting hurt all the time. That's actually probably a lot of trouble.]

Trust me, if it was trouble I woulda said so a long time ago. It's no trouble. So put that outta your mind right now. [she moves to flick his forehead]

[and he leans back away from it because spider sense and just instinct SORRY]

I knooow, I know. I just worry about these things sometimes. I can't help it, it's just... a thing.

[damnit, one of these days she's gonna get him in a surprise hug (or surprise headlock or forehead flick)]

I get having things. Hell, I have things. But it really is cool. I like that I can help like this. It's kind of a big ol' middle finger to the whole Reaper thing, you know?

[Good luck nerd]

You know what, that's fair. I wouldn't want to deprive you of stickin' it to the man.

[she'll likely need it. but who's calling whom a nerd? ;) ]

It's what I do best. Telling the forces of authority to go fuck themselves. It's fun, yanking their chains.

[yeah okay fair]

Yeah, it's all fun and games until it totally backfires on you.

[she thought so]

Ehhh, I got that out of the way back home. Tried to keep people from dying and yeah, totally blew up in my face. Here, I figure I can get away with it.

That's fair. Might as well take advantage of it while you can, right?

Absofuckinglutely. I am having a ball telling the forces of authority to go fuck themselves. [a pause] Well, except for Pell at the Clinic and Newt at the Lab. They're cool.

They are cool. I hope I'm not getting on Pell's nerves with the whole... like, getting hurt all the time thing.

Edited 2019-02-05 04:16 (UTC)

Ehhh, I'm sure Pell doesn't mind. [a pause] Well, he cares, but that's 'cause you're a roomie and he cares about you and worries when you get hurt. But, like, the stuff you do? You're gonna get hurt. And I can only speak for me, but I've accepted it.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I just feel bad when I make people worry, but there's not a whole ton I can do about it, y'know?

Nope. There sure isn't. So I guess. . . put it out of your mind as best you can, so you can focus on what needs to be done.
