[Kadaj turns on the video, holding it with one hand. He gives it a dazed stare, saying nothing and lowers it a little more so that his torso can be seen, littered with open wounds which he hasn't bothered to heal, his visible arm in the same state.]

I was bored.

[He drops the communicator, and it turns off.]

[These two haven't talked in ages, and what better time to start than when Kadaj has basically turned himself into a monster chewtoy?]

Wh...what the heck are you doing?!

[adventlead]

[Kadaj blinks, surprised by who it was. Then he replies casually.]

Oh. Hi Umi. How's it been?

[embracethewaves]

How can you say that so calmly?! You need a doctor-- or bandages-- something!

[adventlead]

I don't need any of those things. I'll heal.

[embracethewaves]

Uh huh. And how long do you expect that to take?

[adventlead]

A few days.

[embracethewaves]

A few days. So you're just gonna go around bleeding until then?!

[adventlead]

Unless I die first!

[embracethewaves]

THAT ONLY MAKES IT SOUND LIKE A WORSE IDEA!!

[adventlead]

I needed excitement.

[embracethewaves]

[...] Excitement is one thing, but at least take proper care of yourself when you're done!

[adventlead]

Someone else needs it more.

[embracethewaves]

But you-- that--

...Jeez. Where are you? I can at least bring you a bandage!

[adventlead]

Someone else needs that bandage more.

[embracethewaves]

There's not a single person I can think of who does right now!

[adventlead]

Fine.
