o10 ★ DON'T RUN WITH SCISSORS

[electrowhipit]

...

I need some help. A medic. A healer. Whatever. Sooner would be... ow. Sooner would be better than later.

I'm at Sideswipe's place... 5718 Cunningham Lane.

It was just an accident.

((ooc; This is what happens when you forget humans don't have armor plating. You'll find Jolt still sitting in the bathtub.))

How bad is it?

[electrowhipit]

I'm leaking through the bandages if... that's what you mean.

[puzzledwife]

I'm no medic, but I can help. I'll be over shortly.

[electrowhipit]

's appreciated.

[ He'll just lean back in the tub and shut his eyes while he waits for her. Blood loss is so cool. ]

[puzzledwife]

[There's a heavy knocking downstairs, the door opens and--]

Hello?!

[electrowhipit]

...

In the bathroom!

[puzzledwife]

[A moment later a young woman enters the bathroom, carrying a leather bag filled with medical supplies.]

Show me the wound. [running a little water in the sink and raiding for a washcloth.]

[electrowhipit]

[ He's still sitting in the tub, and angles himself a little to show her the wound- there's a fairly deep gash in his side, which is covered haphazardly by bandages. Sideswipe is no medic, either. ]

[puzzledwife]

[she looks back, a small frown on her face. Lucky for Jolt, she knows this kind of stuff. She goes back the sink, wets the cloth, then goes to tend to Jolt.]

If you don't mind my asking, how'd you get it?

[electrowhipit]

[ he sort of... frowns as well ]

It's... kind of embarrassing.

[puzzledwife]

Hmmmh.... you don't have to if oyu don't want to.

[she removes those old bandages and starts off cleaning. She's got one of those faces Mom's give their kids whenever they cut their fingers on the knives mommy specifically told them not to touch.]

[electrowhipit]

Let's... just say I sort of forgot I'm not armor-plated anymore. [ He does his very best not to move around as she works, but ow. ]

[puzzledwife]

[D8 you'll feel better soon enough, dear!]

You're.... armor-plated?

[electrowhipit]

[ T-thank you ;-;/ ]

Usually. This town... somehow took away my usual body.

[puzzledwife]

[She goes to put the cloth in the sink and runs it under cold water to clean it, then looks back with a slight frown. She knows somebody with a non-human body, he's always been like that... but....?]

How do you mean? [Not going to assume anything outloud--that's just rude]

[electrowhipit]

[ He flashes her something of a sheepish grin. Explaining this is old hat by now. ] Usually I'm about twenty-five feet tall and made of metal. Woke up in this body when I got here and... I haven't quite adjusted yet.
