capeandcowl | fifteenth observation; video

[hello network, how is everybody today? doing good? good. Astral floats on screen as usual, holding the communicator at a safe distance so everyone watching can see him and Steve. practical!] Steve was showing me his butterfly knife earlier--

[moving from one side of the screen to the other behind Astral, looking white-faced and distressed. "Please, hurry if you can, I think...oh..."]

--which is a rather peculiar name for the weapon... It doesn't resemble a butterfly at all.

Then he managed to sever his finger. It's quite fascinating, actually! I had no idea what human tissue looked like when it wasn't apart of the body. [that sure is a severed finger in Astral's free hand]

[turns his head over his shoulder, attention focused on Steve] Oh my, perhaps it'll help if you stopped bleeding? [and back to the camera]

Anyway, the reason why I was made this video is because we were wondering how would Steve re-attach his finger? ["Oh, oh, this is..." Again, from one side of the screen to the other...and backward he goes, falling off-screen with a magnificent thud.] Steve..?

Oh?

[hmmm] It'll be difficult. He's unconscious, and I have no way to move him. His body structure is entirely different than mine. He's much, much heavier.

[But he can do that ice thing! He'll go do that, leaving the communicator somewhere else for now.

He returns, the finger... on ice... in a cup...]

Then call 911! Or -- whatever number gets people to respond to a scene!

[ Is that... a finger.......... on ice in a cup.

Oh.

Eh.

Seems legit. Of everything else to be worried about right then... ]

Where are you guys?

The MAC. [WOW. SO HELPFUL]

[ She rolls her eyes in exasperation! ]

Good, that's nice and close, but what floor? And apartment number? Or are you down in the lobby? Duh, specifics are kind of important!

[blink]

Third floor. Apartment number nine.

[ HNNGH okay so what's. A plan. Of action.

... ] Okay, can you maybe call an ambulance or something right now? Or are we going to cart Steve down or something because this kind of planning really isn't my thing.

[Astral is like 90 pounds and totally a wuss. manual labor? no way.] I'll call.

I'll -- head over.

[ Yes! Right. Because she's worried and this guy is... like 90 pounds and a total wuss or something she has no idea! ]

Keep his hand elevated above his heart! And his feet!

[ She thinks that has something to do with shock, at least? Yes, she'll focus on rollin' out 'bout now. ]

Alright. [disconnect??? and i suppose action because yeah

Astral's waiting in the MAC, watching Steve's body. whoever that human girl was is going to show up soon, right?]

[ Yes, yes, she will, goodness! If it's a knock and just kind of inviting herself in if she can since manners are not all that important to a teenager in a wheelchair when she's all up and concerned about a friend!

... More to a point, a friend with one of his friends (she guesses?) who's about as clueless as he is in what to do when it comes to being human and handling the most wicked part of that general human behavior thing: handling human mess-ups. ]

Hello? You know this would be such a terrible prank if it was one, don't you?

[ Goodness she wishes this was a prank. ]

Auh...

[HA HA...HA...what is even going on. Steve is still in a stupor, splayed out on the ground with the dumbest, half-lidded look on his face.

cats.

isn't he supposed to be helping feed some cats? or...was that yesterday?

wait what. ha ha...]

[at least Astral bandaged his hand up because Yuma told him he'd die...]

Why would I prank anyone? This is a very serious matter.

[ Okay, picking her path to Steve. ]

At least he's conscious -- uh. You!

[ She gestures to Astral. ]

I have no idea why you would. It'd be a pretty lousy joke, except at the start of April! So you totally missed your month. Can you get his legs up? Higher than his head or something?

[ A bandaged hand is nice, that's indeed good, if she wants to make sure that's held up, too. ]

Heya, Steve, how're you doing? I'm not sure if this works like concussions do, but you should probably try to stay awake for the paramedics. You know, I'm thinking a butterknife might be more up your alley than a butterfly knife. Just saying.

[ Oh geez oh geez oh geez this really was so tame compared to many things she's seen but she's not exactly banking on Steve being a re-grower or whatever heals right after being chopped up! ]

[what? Kisala? what're you talking about? robots don't...] Mmget...c'ussions...? [wuh?]

I don't mean to question your medical expertise, but wouldn't raising his legs into the air cause the blood to flow into his upper body thus making him to bleed more?

[what's logic he doesn't know]

Yeah, uh, maybe not before, but trust me, people get concussions all the time. Sad fact of human nature! Our skulls are thick, but not always thick enough!

[squinting dumbly from Astral to Collette and back again.]

...Am I...on the floor?

Yes, on your bottom.

You rudely fell to the floor while I was recording. [... he still has Steve's legs in the air, yep]

[ She blinks -- and smiles. ]

Yeah. You sure are, Steve-o. You should stay there for a moment, too, especially if you're feeling all light headed and woozy! There are people on the way to help you.

[ On the bright side, Astral's doing exactly what she'd hoped he would.

... Which keeps Steve down, but also keeps the blood at his head? (That was good, wasn't it?) ]

[he smiles back stupidly.] Yes...Yes, you know, that's...That's a good word for it! Light-headed. [a weird little chuckle.] Why didn't I think of that? For all the language I ought to know...[ahaha...hmh.

slowly coming to regard Astral again. haha, what?]

Ahm. Astral...[ha.] Whatever are you doing?

Holding your legs.

[pause] You, girl, will you be able to let the people who are arriving inside?

Probably because you're in the light part of the light-headed. Heavy thought's are going to have to wait for later!

[ He's not in danger of spontaneously sleeping, she doesn't think. Looking to Astral when he asks his question, she quirks up an eyebrow and nods. ]

Sure, that won't be a problem. As long as they make it here okay! Which they should. Where'd you put his cup? They'll want that for sure.

Cup? [i don't have a cup.

hi, my name is Steve and i'll be contributing nothing but useless sounds.]

[he... drops Steve's legs... and goes to retrieve the cup full of finger]

Woah!

[ Man that is so not what you're supposed to do, dropping people! She wheels over and takes up his legs instead, looking after Astral. ]

You really shouldn't drop parts of people like that!
