[ 017 ] ♐ [ Video ]

[ 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. ]

As if I've got a death wish, I've seen you in a fight. My face's fine as it is.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah. I mean how else are you gonna get any action. It's not like you're charming.

[bettercallit]

You trying to say I've got a pretty face, buddy? 'Cause that's what I'm hearing here.

video;

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah, sure. If that's what you need t'hear darling then be my guest.

[bettercallit]

It doesn't hurt every once in a while, I can't deny it.

[yourbestguysgun]

So desperate for affection?

[bettercallit]

Is it that obvious? 'Cause we don't all have our own personal Captain Americas on hand.

[yourbestguysgun]

Well, get out there stud.

[bettercallit]

You do realise I spend half my time with criminals and the rest hanging out with teenagers. Might not be the best advice here.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ A snort. ]

Yeah, that's a problem.

[bettercallit]

Especially if I work my charm on the latter and end up joining the former. Appreciate the encouragement all the same.

You're not really criminal material, Barton. I mean unless it's being drunk and disorderly then I can see it.

[bettercallit]

C'mon, I can handle my liquor better than that. When you've got a Russian born partner in crime, you learn to keep up.

video;

[yourbestguysgun]

I wouldn't know about that. [ The Russian keep-up thing. Give him six months Clint, and he'll drink you under the table. ]

You seem like you'd smash your face into the bartop in two seconds t'me.

[bettercallit]

[ He'll be looking forward to the healthy competition. ]

You wish. Tell you what, next weekend you've got free, I'll show you how long I can stand before breaking.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ A shit-eating grin. ] Oh, you're on.

video;

[bettercallit]

Glad that's settled. And if I don't hear from you soon on it, I'll bring the party over to your place when you least expect it.

[ A snort. ] You'd have to deal with Steve. [ But he grins and gives a little salute. ] I'll see you around.

[ And ending the feed. ]
