VIDEO; UN: SMOKING_BOMB

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera has had a relatively good February. He's shot a bunch of people with enchanted arrows and watched their moods boosted from doing so. It feels good to help others, and to watch the warmth of affection they wear going forward, feeling responsible for giving them that opportunity.

He's even gotten some hugs as repayment, and as part of the enchantment.

For once, it feels like he's gotten off on the right foot. And as this is a new Month, and White Day is only a few weeks away, he'd like to start it off with a good mood of his own.

What he doesn't know is that midnight on March first, the enchantment wore off his arrows. There is one completely normal arrow remaining in the quiver upon his back, and he sets it on his bow. This month has given him plenty of practice, and he's not so worried after seeing arrow after arrow disappear once it struck a target. The last arrow, and he'll be rewarded with a good mood and maybe the urge to hug someone! Finally, he can understand what his friends and Family have felt!

And he lets that arrow flight with as much force as he can manage. It pierces through his shoe, through his foot, and buries into the ground. There are maybe three whole seconds of silence as he stares down at the self-inflicted injury, eyes wide, face stunned in fear and delayed agony. He screams, drops his bow, and grabs up his device, bullets jumping to his brow as he tries to think of what to do, fighting the instinct to jerk away and risk further injury.

The feed cuts on, and he's pained, obviously, though the camera is trained on his face.]

Does anyone know a surgeon and/or a healer? I've shot myself.

It's not fatal.

[For anyone nearby, they can approach him, but he's going to be standing still as he can, a hand over his mouth and his gaze wobbling somewhere off to the side as he tries to breath and contain his obvious pain.]


ooc: This is open to action as well, and I'm happy to use brackets or prose!

[Well, it was bound to happen sometime.

Honestly, the bigger surprise for Walter is that it has taken this long for him to come across something like this.]

I know a healer.

Where and approximately how bad is the wound?

broad daylight. Probably noon or a bit earlier

[bakudan_bambino]

[He knows a few healers too, but at the moment, he's just trying to stay calm. Names aren't coming to his mind. Just... pain.]

It's... an arrow through my foot. It even-

[He's not going to point the camera at his injury unless that is requested, but as he's still in view, he looks down and then back up quickly.]

It's all the way through. I-I can't move it.

Sorry for the late reply. I incurred... a small injury of my own.

[angel_of_death]

It's probably best not to.

[His voice is a little groggy, like he's responded to this right after waking up.]

I'm going to go see if the person I mentioned is here. If not, I'll contact them.

No worries on timing! Get well soon!

[bakudan_bambino]

Okay...

[Not like Gokudera can do very much. He currently sounds like a reasonable mess, given his current condition.]

[asano_san]

How do you shoot yourself?

[He looks more dismayed than the guy who actually shot himself.]

video

[bakudan_bambino]

The same way you shoot anything else!

[The camera is a bit shakey. Then again, Gokudera is in pain and trying to stay calm while the arrow has him firmly stuck in place.]

[asano_san]

By aiming at it? Why would you aim at yourself?

[bakudan_bambino]

Because I thought the arrow was enchanted!

Video > action

[theskyaccepts]

[Tsuna might be panicking. Just a little. Before finally going to find that first aid kit.]

Where are you, Gokudera-kun? I'm on my way!

Video > action

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera doesn't want his boss to see and panic. It's bad.]

I'm just o-outside the book shop, Tenth.

Video > action

[theskyaccepts]

I'll be there as soon as I can. I've got the first aid kit!

[Too late but he should probably be used to this by now.]

Video

[bakudan_bambino]

Thanks...

[How does he tell him that a first aid kit will not help. It might? Gokudera is pretty certain he needs a surgeon or a healer, or for someone to just knock him out so they can break up the arrow and detach him from the ground.]

Video (un: Inquisitor)

[lendedahand]

You shot yourself?

[Lavellan appears on the screen at an odd angle, still a bit wobbly with the unfamiliar technology.]

Well, they've taken any healing magic I knew, but I've still got a bit of elfroot from home, and I'm no stranger to self inflicted arrow wounds believe it or not. At the very least I could get it ready for a healer.

[Of course he jumps right to the assumption that it's an arrow wound, that's the only thing one could shoot themselves with where he's from... as least, shoot themselves and live to talk about it anyway.]

Video

[bakudan_bambino]

Yes. I had a quiver of enchanted arrows that would raise the mood of whoever I shot, and I saved the last arrow for myself. They vanished upon impact.

It's... apparently a normal arrow, and now it's stuck. In me.

[He'd appreciate any help.]

[lendedahand]

Ah, I'm surprised they didn't come with a warning on them for that. Though better an inert regular arrow than having an unstable spell backfire on you I suppose. Anyway, keep your foot elevated over your heart, and this is probably obvious, but don't remove the arrow.

[His head dips off the screen as he gathers his things, then a rustling of the device as he readiest to leave.]

Tell me where you are and I'll come meet you.

[bakudan_bambino]

I can't and I won't.

[He points the camera down to show that the arrow in his foot is also in the ground he's standing on.]

Outside the book shop.

[Gokudera had just finished working some time there to make up for how he'd acted while under a curse a few months back. He has the worst luck imaginable.]

[rediscovering]

[ On the one hand, Zuko's concerned about his friend, who's obviously in severe pain, just from the look on his face, even if it's not fatal. On the other hand, what kind of idiot shoots himself by accident — little does he know, he's talking to the kind of idiot who shoots himself on purpose. But on the first hand... that idiot's his friend, either way, and Zuko's injured himself in some pretty dumb ways before, too. He can't... think of any right now... But surely? ]

you remember how i said my friend katara would heal you if i asked her to just because you're my friend and she trusts me??
if you trust me enough to trust my friends now, then,
uh
the offer still stands.......

Video

[bakudan_bambino]

Bring her, then! I’m in no place to refuse!

[rediscovering]

OK

drop me a pin and i'll text her
i'll come too

[ Look at him, all tech savvy. Already he sets straight away to texting Katara: "I have more healing practice for you. not me this time." At least that can put her mind at ease. Of course, Zuko's, not so much. He's just chilling at a teashop not so far off, though, luckily, which is why he errs on the side of text than video, for noise's sake, but it's no time before he's on his way, quick on his feet to head out as soon as Gokudera gives him permission to help. He'll get there a couple moments before the ex-waterbender does, but he'll pass their location on to her as soon as he is. He doesn't know how to forward messages yet, okay. ]

Reassuring as it may that you've already been provided succor, might I offer to show how to address such an injury should the arrow not pass cleanly through?

[bakudan_bambino]

Go for it.

Ah, I was considering perhaps a more in-person demonstration.

/slams in late asf to this party but here all the same Video; UN Yamamoto

[tsuyoi_ame]

[He scrambles for his phone the minute he sees the video. Actually at the dishwashing job he was trying out. They have to pay for things here they never had to worry about back home so he is trying to be responsible.]

Gokudera! Where are you, are you okay?

[He is already drying hands and heading to find his boss in case Gokudera needs help getting to a healer, he'll go carry him if he has to.]

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera should probably be in school. Should probably encourage the Tenth and the baseball idiot to join him so they can make money doing that instead of picking up jobs. It'd be a good way for them to learn more about their magic, too.]

Outside the bookshop...

[He glares at the video and then directs the camera to his foot so Yamamoto can see the injury for himself.] That's a stupid question, you know that?

Video to Action

[tsuyoi_ame]

[Yamamoto would go to school with some prompting, he's not even fully aware it is an option here because he does not pay attention to those things. He'd come into the cafe one day for lunch and been hired on the spot so he'd started working.

The manager has already given him permission to go and he heads for the bathroom while still talking to Gokudera, grabbing his bag on the way.]

I'll be right there.

[Gokudera is going to get a flash of well-toned abs before the feed cuts off, Yamamoto seems to be stripping down and putting his clothes in the bag. Once he has all his stuff in it, he props the bathroom door and thinks of the fastest animal he knows large enough to carry the bag, cheetah it is, the transformation is easy enough, worry over his friend fueling his magic the same as it does his will.

Sorry Gokudera, nevermind the large cheetah racing up a few moments later with a bag held tightly in its mouth. Eyes that look eerily similar to Yamamoto's shine happily at the bomber as he starts to work his magic to end the transformation, that part takes a little longer.]
