3rd Opportunity :: Audio

Whoever is responsible for these ghosts should probably...

[He takes a deep breath.]

Take care of them before they bite anyone else.

[A long pause.]

In the meantime, is there an available doctor in the area?

[hulkbusted]

Where are you and why did you go outside?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm...

[He gives vague locations -- probably enough to figure out where he is, but it's obvious he's not thinking clearly.]

No matter what I say to the second question, you're going to call me an idiot.

[hulkbusted]

I already know you're an idiot and I'm an idiot because I'm coming out to help you.

What's the infestation like in your vicinity?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[There's a pause as he looks around.]

Mild. I think I just had bad luck.

[hulkbusted]

I'm coming. How bad is the injury?

[He's on the move and Meyer is not on his list of favorite people right now.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

It doesn't look good, but I've seen worse.

[Meyer's currently holed up with a gun, hoping no ghouls approach him.]

[hulkbusted]

Remind me never to enlist you for triage. The question is to determine how much risk I need to take on my way.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm not dying. No major organs are damaged. I'm not bleeding to death. Does that help?

[hulkbusted]

Yeah. Apply pressure and hang on, I'll be there as soon as I can.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[Pressure will be dutifully applied, though he keeps one hand free to hold his gun. No way is he making the same mistake twice.]

[hulkbusted]

[It takes time for Bruce to get there without attracting the attention of the City's undead guests, but after what may feel like far too long, he sends Meyer a text.]

I'm outside, let me in.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He walks slowly to the door, opening it up, leading gun first, of course. When he sees that it's Bruce, he relaxes his defensive stance. He has a handkerchief pressed to his side, but the blood has soaked through his shirt and jacket.]

Thanks for coming.

[hulkbusted]

[Bruce slips inside and closes and locks the door. Niceties can wait until the skin on the back of his neck isn't crawling in anticipation of a zombie bite.]

Yeah, well, I was having a stupid moment of my own. Let's get a look at the wound.

[horseish]

Are you alright?

Re: audio;

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[It's a little while later when he responds, sounding exhausted.]

I'm okay, yeah. Are you?

audio;

[horseish]

Yes, for now.

[After all she has your gun.]

Re: audio;

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[And he... hasn't noticed yet. Because he's still lying around being sick.]

Good. Have you stayed inside?

audio;

[horseish]

Yes.

[Although if she's determined enough she won't be for much longer.]

Re: audio;

[recognize_an_opportunity]

And you're somewhere safe. With...

[He's having a hard time concentrating.]

Bruce, right?

audio;

[horseish]

How do you know Bruce?

Re: audio;

[recognize_an_opportunity]

He helped when I... when I got bitten.

Re: audio;

[horseish]

Why did you get bitten?

[You're her friend, you're not supposed to do that.]

Re: audio;

[recognize_an_opportunity]

It's stupid.

[Because no way is he going to tell her he got bitten because he was coming to check on her.]

audio;

[horseish]

Do you have someone from your home here, too?

Re: audio;

[recognize_an_opportunity]

No, not that I've seen so far.
