Recovery is a form of being grounded, right? [Open Log]

[iamtetsuo]

WHO: Tetsuo and YOU
WHERE: Nonah 05/Nonah's Ark
WHEN: Post bike crash through october
WHAT: Karma caught up to him and he's stuck in Nonah 05 for a month. Waiting for your body to heal the rest of the way naturally SUCKS. Boredom, resentment and pain don't make a great combination, but he's down for the count.
WARNINGS: Tetsuo. Copious amounts of Tetsuo. Drugs, threats, all that fun stuff.

[Prompts available on request; for the most part:

Sept 29-Oct 18
Largely stuck on his bed being a wet cat. At some point he'll start meandering out into the living room for TV if no one's out there, but he's not really going far or doing much. Expect a lot of network or texting abuse, possible threats of violence, and probably hurting himself in the attempt to follow up on said threats.

For the curious, he's got a broken collarbone/some ribs; nothing life-threatening but definitely extremely annoying, not to mention painful. While this may take longer normally to heal, he's had some healing done, so we can just assume it'll be pretty much good to go by the end of the month. He might be getting a limiter forced on him at some point during the month.

Oct 18-on

As he starts feeling better, his goal's to be out and around Nonah as much as he can manage (not that much, but you bet he can try). He's supposed to be on bedrest for the month? Well, that's not exactly what he intends to do - just try and make him.

That said, he's not going to be up to doing anything strenuous, which is good for all of us. If you can't find him in Nonah 05, he'll be in the arcade or nearby areas. What are good judgement calls?

Action, audio, video, text, it's all good (update: oct 3 evening until oct 9 Tetsuo's comm is not working)]

I don't have that kind of skill. I already told you I did what I could.

[iamtetsuo]

[FRUSTRATED NOISE]

How long's it gonna take?!

[animated]

I'd wager at least a month or so.

[iamtetsuo]

What?! Screw that!

[Tries to get up again just to show that he can if he wants to.

...


He can't.

He really, really can't.]

[animated]

Easy, easy. It you jerk something out of alignment, you're gonna be in a whole lot more pain than you are now.

I know that being cooped up here doesn't sound like your favorite thing ever, but I've got a deal for you. A peace offering, of sorts, to show that we're not trying to hold you hostage or anything.

You wanna hear me out?

[iamtetsuo]

Like what?

[animated]

I should let you know that your bike didn't come away from the crash in one piece. It's pretty much totaled.

[iamtetsuo]

So, forget what I said... He better not be dead yet. I'm gonna kill him!!

[HE FOUGHT SO HARD TO KEEP THAT THING]

[animated]

Cool your jets. This is where my deal comes in, okay?

You rest up, you heal, and we'll buy you an new one.

[iamtetsuo]

I shouldn't HAVE to --!!

[Right. Not moving. He's good at this. Shit. Ow. At least that cuts him off there before getting too side tracked]

...ngh.



You better...

[animated]

I promise. Your freedom is important, but your health comes first, all right?

[iamtetsuo]

[He doesn't want to do this. He doesn't want to do this. He doesn't want to do this. He ran away left for a reason. But he wants a damn bike.]

FINE!!

You go back on that, you're a dead man. You hear me?

[He wouldn't agree at all if he thought Charlie wouldn't do it. It's just a much easier pull to swallow when he can put it into his terms.]

[animated]

[ He gets that the kid's just posturing so he feels better, so he doesn't comment on it ]

I hear you.

You hungry at all?

[iamtetsuo]

[Huffed, angry sigh.]

Yeeeess..

[animated]

I'll get you some lunch.

Anything else you want while you're down and out for a while?

[iamtetsuo]

No.

[Probably.]

[animated]

We'll start with lunch, then.
