041 [VIDEO

Jul 23, 2010 02:59

[The camera, fixed in the ceiling, looks down on one of the hospital's isolation rooms. By the edge of a crumpled bed stands a man more usually seen in scrubs than the hospital gown he has on now. Two sets of restraints seem to be keeping him there: one linking his leg with the foot of the bed, and one cuffing his wrists together ( Read more... )

Daring escapes tend to go better when you don't broadcast them for the world to see.

Unless you're Houdini, that is. But you're not, so the point is moot.

[He turns his head up slowly to the camera that's obviously fixed in a high corner somewhere.]

Does it look like I'm doing the broadcasting?

→ VIDEO ][ prefers_chess July 23 2010, 04:30:34 UTC

No, but it does look like you're on Candid Camera.

→ VIDEO ][ worksmart July 23 2010, 04:35:35 UTC

Sorry, not planning to smile.

After you just broke your own hand to get it out of a restraint? Somehow, I am unsurprised.

[It really doesn't think a small child is going to be much use for digging or rescue attempts, but may as well:]

Why don't you help me get out of here before I have to break something else.

→ VIDEO ][ prefers_chess July 23 2010, 04:47:54 UTC

At what point did I become the caretaker of your physical well-being?

[Underestimating small children may prove to be your downfall, slug. Not that Rudy knows you exist at this point.]

How did you get in that predicament in the first place?

→ VIDEO ][ worksmart July 23 2010, 05:05:21 UTC

Since I gave you the chance. [Actually the video option on his PDA was his downfall. Hopefully no small children viewed that.] I'm being held here to stop me helping while they hurt my friends.

→ VIDEO ][ prefers_chess July 23 2010, 05:09:50 UTC

Oh. So I should be gratified for being offered the distinct honour of coming to your rescue. Of course.

Define "they".

→ VIDEO ][ worksmart July 23 2010, 05:20:05 UTC

You've got the choice. Want me to plead with you?

I don't know what they are, but they're hurting people.

→ VIDEO ][ prefers_chess July 23 2010, 05:23:41 UTC

[...Chase, either you are in excruciating pain from the hand and therefore not thinking straight, or there is something seriously off about you right now. Rudy is mildly suspicious.]

Make a reasonable comparison. People, dinosaurs, space aliens, robots...

→ VIDEO ][ worksmart July 23 2010, 05:41:48 UTC

[Seeing as all his pain centres have been helpfully turned off just now, it must be the latter. He shrugs and gives a reasonable comparison.]

Aliens. I don't know.

→ VIDEO ][ prefers_chess July 23 2010, 05:45:48 UTC

Aliens locked you up, are holding your friends hostage, are hurting them as we speak, and you can't even provide a physical description beyond "I don't know"?

[That's it. This is now officially as weird as when Mindy was crying into his shirt on Monday.]

→ VIDEO ][ worksmart July 23 2010, 07:41:30 UTC

They're not visible. At least if they are, they're not letting themselves be seen. If they were walking around in clown suits I'd probably have a description for you.

→ VIDEO ][ prefers_chess July 23 2010, 07:50:14 UTC

Invisible aliens. Noted.

So you need to be freed so you can save your friends from the invisible aliens, because you can recognize them despite their invisibility. Correct?

→ VIDEO ][ worksmart July 23 2010, 08:07:48 UTC

[...Rudy, you are wearing on this slug's last nerve.]

Go up the mountain and take a look for yourself.

[Because someone will rope you into the chain gang as soon as you do.]
