[ 017 ] ♐ [ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ The feed starts recording and instantly there's a blurred flash of purple, muttered curses and bitter mumbling as the device clearly slips out from someone's grasp. ]

It's always the left one.

[ When the image steadies, Clint appears on the screen looking somewhat more uplifted than usual, eyes blown wide as the pain killers he's taken kick in. And then he's holding the thing up in hopes that he's sporting off his shiny new cast of purple decorating his left forearm. ]

Guess who got too confident and misjudged a landing from one rooftop to another? [ He pulls the device in close, too close, and beams down at the lens. ] You guessed right. It was me.

[ He frowns openly, glaring down at it and squirming in the wheelchair he's been dumped in as he waits to be discharged. ] Anyone got something long and pointy? It itches.

[ And, again, distracted, Clint looks up and across the open waiting room, squinting at someone across the other side. ] And there's a doctor who keeps trying to catch my eye. Quick, someone come save me, 'cause this isn't how I--

[ The device slips again before the feed cuts out. ]


[ OOC: The doctor in question is dr_conscience, and everyone should feel free to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid before he comes down. ]

[ LAUGHING AT YOU. ]

Barton, you dumb son of a gun.

[bettercallit]

Shut up.

[ But to no one's surprise, he's laughing with him. ] Can't win every time, right?

[yourbestguysgun]

Have you ever won any time, kid?

[affectioning]

Clint? [ He frowns. Which is the first time all day he really has. What a day for him to do this. ] You were jumping rooftops? [ That actually sounds really fun! ]

[bettercallit]

[ He grins, something he doesn't do openly all that often, but the drugs help. ]

You've got a look that tells me you wouldn't mind trying it yourself.

[affectioning]

[ He should grin more! Oh. That's dangerous, Clint. ]

If it weren't dangerous and if my friend weren't in the hospital because of it, maybe I would. [ No, really. He might start... He needs to work out all this wolfy energy. ] Do you do it a lot? Should I be looking up more?

Mama always said rooftops would be somebody's downfall.

[bettercallit]

What goes up, must come down. You're mama was a smart lady.

[coldchaos]

The hawke's broken a wing?

I'd be careful the sorts of long and pointy things you ask for, last time did not go over so well for you.

[Video]

[bettercallit]

[ Oh great. It's his lucky day. ]

You're still here. Why're you still here? [ It's not his best retort, but the pain killers don't help. ] And I can think of plenty of things I'd love to do with something long and pointy, and it's got nothing to do with scratching an itch.

[Video]

[coldchaos]

Such things you say to me. And after all the quality time we spent together.

[doeswhathewants]

Not supposed to shove things into your cast to scratch.

[bettercallit]

[ Words a little slurred. ] Then how'm'I supposed to scratch it?

[doeswhathewants]

Think... non itchy thoughts?

[vdova]

What did you do? [ She's annoyed and maybe a little exasperated. ] Which hospital, I'll be there to pick you up soon.

[bettercallit]

[ He hears her voice before setting the device up to see her face, but it's enough to sober him up long enough to be coherent. ]

S'not that bad. Would've made the jump if I hadn't run out of coffee this morning. [ Or being too cocky after getting a little lazy. ] It's the big one.

[vdova]

[ can you be any less vague about the hospital Clint ] 'The Big One'. Does it have a name?

[skintoskin]

What the fuck are you doing jumping around on rooftops?

[Hello, you haven't met this guy face to face nor heard his voice before...]

video;

[bettercallit]

[ He stares into the device with a blank expression for a moment before he cracks up. Clearly people around here don't know about what he does when no one's paying attention. ]

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

[skintoskin]

[He can't be serious.]

You can't be serious.

[It isn't said as a question.]

[dr_conscience]

[ Watch out, Clint. That doctor that's been trying to catch your eye is still lingering - and he's noticed that squirming. Seems like a perfectly good opening to start a conversation. He makes his way over, the small smile perhaps a bit too friendly. ]

Cast bothering you?

action;

[bettercallit]

[ On the outside, Clint appears as cool as a cucumber, but on the inside it's a completely different story, avoiding eye contact until the last possible second when he realises he's coming over. ]

You could say that. These things always make me wanna scratch.

action;

[dr_conscience]

[ One small smile. Wilson is nervous - what is he even doing - but the doctor angle is a safe approach. ]

You should try baby powder. Does wonders for it.


[ ooc: so so so sorry for delays, I got sick and have been sidelined. :( ]

[hexuality]

[CONCERN? Also amused. Bloody hell.]

I suppose we're postponing those lessons.

[bettercallit]

[ He appreciates both. ]

Long enough for the meds to wear off, but I'm still good with the one hand.
