No. 46 [video]

[hackeralastair]

[not that he wants to show the state he's in, but he knows people will ask if they hear his raspy voice. The comm is tilted at an odd angle in a dim room, but it's very obviously the hospital and Alastair is very obviously in a bad state. He's holding the comm in his good hand because his entire left shoulder and arm are bound up in casts. Still has a black eye and visible (though healing) cuts and bruises. The Major's vamps did a number on him. He speaks very quietly, tiredly]

So. Guess you gotta have friends to get rescued around here.

No, I guess that's not totally right. Somebody brought me to the hospital, so...if it was one of you...thanks, I guess. Did...did somebody get him? The Major. Did anybody kill that [whoa tears in his eyes] bastard? I've been unconscious for two days, I haven't heard anything.

Can...somebody feed my cats? I don't know when I'm getting out.

[he looks away from the comm at the rest, it's hard to say]

S-shockwave? I can't type up encryptions right now but...I need to tell you something.

[somebody let the Major's taunting get to him. Deeply]

Comments

it's the worst

[seekerfemme]

[Huff.]

No, it's waiting on you. I'd probably crash it anyway.

[hackeralastair]

What do you mean?

[seekerfemme]

Meaning, you're going to be the one to fly it. I'm certainly not.

So let me know when you're feeling up to it, hm~?

[hackeralastair]

It's gonna be a while. I've got...what did they say. Broken clavicle, broken arm, and some other stuff. I don't even know when I'll be out of the hospital.

[seekerfemme]

I can wait. Is that man up there going to take care of your pets? If not, I can do it.

[She'll totally bring him whatever he wants in the hospital too]

[hackeralastair]

Yeah. He's gonna. He sounds like an okay guy.

[he's probably going to be poor company for a while]

[seekerfemme]

[That's fine, she's not the best company ever anyway.

Still, if he wants...contraband in the hospital. she will hook him up. Real food and stuff.]

Mm, good. If you need anything.. let me know.

[hackeralastair]

S'okay. I don't want anything.

[seekerfemme]

I'm serious. Steak dinner in the hospital? Done. Laptops? Whatever you want. Real coffee?

[She'll bring him delicious coffee from Spark Roast.]

[hackeralastair]

Don't. Just...don't, Slipstream, all right? I can't take it.

[seekerfemme]

[SIGH.]

Fine.

[But she'll have coffee delivered anyway.]

[hackeralastair]

[that poor coffee. Maybe one of the doctors will drink it. They like coffee, right?]

Go... have fun with Starscream or whatever.

[seekerfemme]

[He's going to go through caffeine withdrawal too, isn't he.]

I'd hardly call it fun. But if you insist..

[hackeralastair]

[hey, at least he's on pain medication for the time being. He won't notice]

You don't need to entertain me. I can take a hint.

1/2

[seekerfemme]

Oh, so that's how it-

done

[seekerfemme]

Fraggit, Alastair. I'm sorry! [Do you even know how hard it is for her to say that?]

I was clearly being a dumbaft and didn't realize you were missing! What else can I say?

[hackeralastair]

It's not just you. Nobody noticed.

[it's what the Major told him, at least. Gloating over him with that information. He can still remember it word for word]

People were worried about the girls and James Bond, but not me. Story of my life, you know.

[seekerfemme]

To be fair, I didn't realize any of them were gone.

[She was too busy murdering things.]

[hackeralastair]

Yeah. You're one person, though.

[yep he's dwelling and wallowing. What else is new?]

[seekerfemme]

Yeah well. Everyone else is an idiot.

[hackeralastair]

[aw Slippy you do care]

Don't have to tell me twice.

[seekerfemme]

Can if you want me to.

[hackeralastair]

No...s'okay.

[seekerfemme]

Mm, well. If you change your mind, I'd be happy to oblige.

[She's going to put the fear of Primus into those hospital workers if they don't take good care of him.]
