8 - Accidental Audio / Action?

[knowsvinewhip]

[There's a soft gasp. The otherwise comatose body stirs. He's bone pale, and in a good deal of pain, but he's alive. This time. And he's in an unfamiliar pod.]

[He lifts a shaking hand, studying it. The other, badly damaged arm doesn't move. He speaks, mostly to himself, in a hoarse, tired voice.]

Still not Hell, I see...

[Hakkai clears his throat.]

... I'm not certain where it is I've ended up. If someone could please fill me in...? And I... wouldn't say no to some water, either.

What happened to you?

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Ah... Ezra. Hello...

[He sounds utterly exhausted.]

A run-in with an unhappy, bird creature.

[Audio]

[fallintheriver.livejournal.com]

[Oh shit--]

Zhaneel? The gryphon?? Are you, uh, okay?

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Perhaps... I'm not quite certain of the species... But it was very avian.

[A breathy, shaking laugh.]

I'm alive. Does that count?

[Audio]

[fallintheriver.livejournal.com]

Like a bird and a lion?

[Yes, that counts, Hakkai. But...]

...Did you die?

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Yes. Something like that.

Ah... I don't believe so. I wonder if that would have changed anything.

[Audio]

[fallintheriver.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Zhaneel.

Oh. How the hell did you get away?

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

A friend of yours?

... I'm afraid I acted rather cowardly. I ran. And after that, things become too blurred to recall.

[Audio]

[fallintheriver.livejournal.com]

Don't joke about that.

Running isn't cowardly. It's smart.

[Ezra is, of course, only pointing this out because he did the exact same thing. Though with less success.]

Audio

[abstinentzombie]

You still alive?

[Yeah. SHe's totally asking that question.]

Audio

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

It would appear so...

I feel as if I should know your voice.

Audio

[abstinentzombie]

You should. I did save your life.

[Kind of.]

And you've been sleeping in my bed.

Audio

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Oh-! I appreciate that very much. Thank you.

[There's a startled pause.]

... My apologies. It would seem I've become quite the ungrateful guest in my unconcious state.

Audio

[abstinentzombie]

Sleeping on the floor isn't a big deal.

[A pause.]

You need anything else besides water?

Audio

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Regardless, you have my apologies.

[He falls silent again.]

... Water will do fine, if it isn't too much trouble.

Audio

[abstinentzombie]

Yeah, yeah. Juts don't die before I get there.

Audio

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

I'll try my best!

Is late ok?

[the-brokenhorn.livejournal.com]

[The com turns on briefly for a couple of seconds before abruptly cutting off. A few minutes later it turns on again to the sound of rustling and soft indistinct mutters.]

...is it...the light's on so it must be...

[Eventually the voice speaks up, becoming easier to hear.]

Excuse me Sir, can you hear me?

o/

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

... Yes, I can.

[A pause.]

Have we met?

[the-brokenhorn.livejournal.com]

[SUCCESS!!]

Sort of, I was in Doctor Kloe's house when she brought you there for treatment. You were only awake for a few seconds.

[He's not surprised you don't remember him.]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Ah... well.

[He smiles, even if it's only audio.]

... it's a pleasure to meet you.

[the-brokenhorn.livejournal.com]

You too.

[Polite boys are polite.]

Are you feeling better?

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Mm, I suppose being awake and alert counts as feeling better, doesn't it?

[the-brokenhorn.livejournal.com]

It does. Your wounds were really bad.

[And probably still are.]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Ahh... yes. I've lost the use of one arm for the time being.
