[Don't ask why the hall camera is on, it just is. But while it's on without reason, it's taping Sinclair's door. Don't ask why, damnit.

Oh, hey, his door just exploded. That can't be good.

Sure is a lot of smoke billowing out of there.]

[ Bhamba holds up a large cardboard sign. It says 5.4

Clearly your explosion does not impress as much as it could have. ]

[worldentire]

[Have some loud coughing, somewhere deep in the recesses of all that smoke!]

[video/nasal] (....wait, what?!)

[angel_junk]

Something smells like grilled bacon!

[video/intestinal] (...this is getting out of hand)

[worldentire]

[Have some more loud coughing and choking. Man, what is with all that smoke?]

...

[ Okay, what the fuck?

You know what? Don't ask.

Turn it off. Walk away. And just. Don't. Ask. ]

Sinclair?

Are you all right?

[ Sigh. ]

[video]

[worldentire]

[Heavy coughing- but wait! There's more!

Sinclair falls out of the room - more like rolls, once he's really started going - and falls on his back, coughing heavily. He's just covered in soot and looks slightly singed.]

[video -> action]

[echo_of_utopia]

[ Well. At least he's alive. Hooray.

Still, Lamb will be showing up at his doorstep in about five minutes (which obviously has everything to do with being a good Samaritan and nothing with wanting to know what sort of experiment he botched this time).

If he's still wheezing in the corridor she will be throwing him an oxygen mask too. ]

[action!]

[worldentire]

[He is still wheezing, but he's also sitting up and smoking, so, really, he brought this upon himself.]

...Hello there, Doc. What're you doin' down here?

[timisnotme]

*Sweet. Someone else to take the blame if his sandwich fiasco burns down the mansion. I mean...*

You all right in there?

[video]

[worldentire]

[Cough! Cough! Muttered curses!]

[video]

[timisnotme]

You gonna make it? Tried to smoke 6 packs at once didn't you?

[video]

[worldentire]

[...and have a glare in between all that coughy rage!]

[audio: Why would Mark tag with Sinclair? I have no idea. *shoves Mark at him*]

[paper_knight]

"--the hell was that?"

(In Mark's defense, he's new. The strange things on the video feeds still look strange, to him.)

[video; why does anyone tag with Sinclair? Because he's got charm, son. /grin]

[worldentire]

[Sinclair coughs in reply!]

Botched- that- nn- [and goes back to coughing!]

[perhaps because they are voyeurism bros?]

[paper_knight]

He's not exactly sure that response was meant for him, so he'll keep the video feed on and try again in a few minutes, if the room is still smoking and he finds nothing else to do. Wait for it...

"Still alive over there?"

[they totally are.]

[worldentire]

[He's sitting against the wall, smoking a cigarette, and Lamb's beside him. He looks up at the comm, nods weakly.] Just fine. [A pause.] You wouldn't happen t'be Meltzer, would you?

[video of late forever. oops]

[born_from_mist]

W-what was that..?!

[video of nah, you're good]

[worldentire]

[Coughing! Because that's what he's been doing this whole damn time! Because honestly, he really did try to take out half the floor. And where's all this smoke coming from!?]

[video of little mages can be fashionably late.]

[born_from_mist]

I-Is anyone there..? D-do you need help...?

[video of awwwwwww AWWWWWWWWW]

[worldentire]

[He waves a hand.] M'fine, m'fine. [And back to coughing~ So eloquent, our mister Sinclair. ...Oh man, new tag!]
