Eighteenth Hacking

[evers_hacker]

[Like others in Mayfield, April got a letter from Santa and while she was suspicious at first, she realized that she wasn't suffering any negative effects, so, that's pretty good, right

... April?

[evers_hacker]

[O-oh, the phone's off the hook. There's another cough before she replies, now sounding a bit closer since she's now wandered over to the phone.] ... Y-Yeah?

[weaponsparked]

Are you...?

[She's Jolt's friend. He should at least try and help her -- that's what he's supposed to do, right?]

What's happened?

[evers_hacker]

Um... t-the tv attacked me, but I, uh, blew it up though... [Yes, totally not weird at all.]

[peonymarket]

...April?

[His voice is unnervingly eager, even though he realizes something is wrong and she's in pain. But April would never do what his family did (right? right, he needs to believe that now) and so China will try to cling to this foreign girl he still doesn't know very well.]

[evers_hacker]

[The eagerness in his voice would have made her slightly uneasy, if she wasn't so focused on tending to her arm.] Ah, y-yes?

[peonymarket]

What happened?

[evers_hacker]

The, um, tv attacked me... I-I've dealt with it though. [She blew the tv up basically.]

[electrowhipit]

What happened? Are you okay?

((ooc; Aaah. Sorry I keep dropping threads. The holiday season kind of kicked my ass. ): We can finish their snowball fight if you want? Or we can just leave it- whichever!))

[evers_hacker]

The, ah, tv attacked me, and y-yeah, I just n-need to clean my arm up a bit.

(OOC: It's alright! We can leave it if you want and say that it ended in a draw cause neither of them would move from their tree xD)

[electrowhipit]

Do you need help?

((ooc; Fine by me! They're such derps sometimes XD))

[evers_hacker]

N-No, it's alright! Someone I know is coming over to help me out, s-so it's fine.

[pants_yourmove]

"Hello? Are you okay?"

[[he recognizes the voice.]]

[evers_hacker]

... Aaron? Y-Yeah, I'm fine.

Ug, I should have taken a Hiatus, if you want to drop this you can.

[pants_yourmove]

"What happened?"

[evers_hacker]

The, uh, tv attacked me...

[passthetophat]

[It's the explosion that brings him around the corner from his bedroom where he'd been hiding after his own letter, a look of concern on his face. As soon as he sees the disarray, he sprints over to kneel beside her.]

What the hell happened?

[He's already stripping off his shirt and ripping a sleeve off to tie at the top of her arm, to staunch the bleeding and slow the blood flow before anything gets pulled out.]

[evers_hacker]

[She automatically tenses up when he speaks, but she only relaxes slightly when he starts tying the sleeve at the top of her arm.]

The, uh- [cough] t-tv attacked me... so I b-blew it-[cough] up...

[passthetophat]

Not that I'm complainin' about the loss of the tv, but your methods are questionable, love.

[Said a bit absently. He tightens the tourniquet and disappears into the bathroom a minute, coming back with the dinky, sub-par first-aid box.]

Let's get you on the couch, and I'll try and get the glass out, right?

[evers_hacker]

It was either blow it up or-[cough] let it choke me...

[This is said rather absently also, since she doesn't care about defending herself or anything right now. And she only gives a nod in reply before pushing herself onto her feet, basically ignoring the pain from her arm.]
