My name is Max. ([personal profile] theroadwarrior) wrote in [community profile] driftfleet2016-03-31 05:49 pm

voice. totally not calling for help only yes he is

Who: Max and FDR ([personal profile] bigvessel)
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A (unless leads into it?)
When: The 31st (around 6:00 pm)

[Well. Max and FDR sure did fall down a mine shaft on the 29th. Lucky them, they finally found the route out of it (teamwork? shocking), but by then they'd been gone for about two days; it's only a blessing Max had thought to taken food and water supplies, however limited... not that it stayed down very well. Max and FDR are sick after their time switching masks between each other. And, uh. They look terrible.

Which is why when the feed turns on, it's voice — because he doesn't want to hear ceeeertain people point out that he should probably see a doctor. It's just a slight head wound and a lot of fat ugly bruises and scrapes from the tumble down into the cavernous area (and his knee, but who's keeping tabs but him?). He's actually calling on behalf of FDR, who you can hear bitching loudly in the background. Max coughs into his hand, and then addresses the network:]


Hey.

Fell down a mine shaft.

[YES MAX BECAUSE THAT IS HOW YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF BACK ONTO THE NETWORK!

For people who know Max, these kinds of posts seem
to be a goddamn pattern. He's a injury magnet, alright, even if it's not always him. He supposes he knows Nami's pain now, of having to call up the fleet to get someone help. He is sorry about that still btw Nami. As he hobbles tiredly out of FDR's reach like an overgrown desert tortoise, he continues:]

Be careful walking above ground; some of the old boards're eroding. FDR broke his lower leg on the way down -- ahm, ankle. Cut it open pretty bad, too. He'll probably need some strong antibiotics.

... Wasn't my fault this time.

[Because that bears saying, since the last time FDR got hurt around him, it was him specifically punching him in the face. And, you know, he punched a doctor in the eyeball recently.] 

We're north, outskirts of the forest; pretty exhausted, been down there for... hmm. A few days. I'd drag him the rest of the way, but I think there'd be complaints. Probably all from him --



[HUFF.]

Stop moving.

[He's clearly talking to the complaining agent who is trying to take Max's network device. And is currently unhappy with Max airing his personal life of falling into mine shafts for a living, we can only assume. He'll probably be all over your comments complaining too, because lbr they're both hopeless. At any rate, Max is hopeless, too; he's not about to ask for help himself. In fact, he plans to run off and tend to his own injuries in the privacy of his own ship bathroom. Nothing a good soak and a few heat packs can't solve, right?]

[Look. Holes in the ground. It's a thing. And yeah, maybe it's not his first fall.]

Well, then don't go roaming around the wilderness or it might become common place.

I try not to. It's a good way to ruin good clothing, for one.

[It's a joke but it's also...completely serious.]

[There's a dry snort at that comment and he can't help but glance down at his clothes. They're....not even salvageable at this point. It's like burn this shit in a bonfire kind of bad, and it's a fact he'll mourn for a few days.

In other words, FDR understands the seriousness of this answer completely.]


Point. Not all that great for bones either.

Neither of which I am adept at mending.

[Another reason he misses having his brother around. On the go repairs]

Speaking of...I assume you two have a way back by now?

[He could try, but chances are you'd need a rescue party for the rescue party, and he knows it]

Well, I actually happen to have a mean stitch, but this is a little beyond saving. [he'll save you the tragic details.]

Yeah. Yeah, we're good. Um. Thanks though? It's good the ship's got our backs.

[What? Oh, well. Have some tired sentimentality apparently.]
