[Although anyone finding themselves here might have only taken one flight of stairs up or down, this short hallway is at least ten stories above the nearest courtyard. Look to the right; a couple yards down, the hallway comes to a dead end at an open door

[He recognizes the white Tease, but the way it's flickering... well, obviously it's not a good thing. Just a quick peek into the room.]

Alive, Mikk?

[casexcard]

[He jumps a bit, just startled.] What else would I be?

[He's sitting in a window seat, bandaged up and with an arm in the sling. Whiskey and a crutch are within reach, and a third-style Exorcist coat is hanging on a nearby chair.]

[promisedlotus]

The hell happened to you?

[casecard]

I fell off a ladder. Well, it actually threw me off. Quite surprising, really.

[promisedlotus]

A ladder threw you off. [Tone and face implies he does not believe you one bit.]

[casecard]

[this is his innocent face, totally] It was alive. I just didn't know that when I started climbing it.

[promisedlotus]

Bull. That's just complete bull.

[casexcard]

There weren't any bulls involved. [When in doubt, act obtuse, apparently.] If there had been, I might be in worse shape now.

[promisedlotus]

Hilarious. You could just say you don't want to say if you don't want to talk about it, Mikk.

[case_card]

Ah, but this gets the point across just as well.

[promisedlotus]

It's hardly amusing.

[casecard]

Oh? Shame. I thought it was.

Anything interesting happen lately?

[promisedlotus]

My line, really. I'm not the one all beat up.

[casecard]

Well, being "beat up" isn't all that interesting, I'm afraid.

[promisedlotus]

That depends on who did it.

[casexcard]

I suppose it does.

Being thrown off a ladder is somewhat interesting.
