[Video, Sunday afternoon]

[There's a kind of nervous-looking Toad on the network today. He's obviously flustered by something or another, but knowing him, that could be anything from Outer Authorities to an unplanned encounter with a bar of soap.]

Yo, guys! Where the heck are ya? I've been lookin' everywhere for you guys! Edmund's takin' people outa town, I wanna get goin' and you three'd better come along, a'right?

[Yeah, so this is wide-open to everybody. It's not really all that clear who he's talking to, but probably the people he's actually talking to can guess he means them. Probably. Maybe? He hopes?]

Comments

[thefuzzyguy]

I don't know about that.

[He's not sure how long he's been doing it, actually.]

But he has had seizures and passed out and been a complete arsch even though he'd be dead if I hadn't found him...

[It's hard not to resent being insulted for saving someone's stupid life. Hmph.]

[catchingflies]

Yeah, well. Heh heh. That's kinda how he is all the time, guess it'd only get worse when he's sick....

[That little chuckle is obviously kind of forced. Todd is not pleased. Not in the least. He desperately wants to ask if they're going to be okay, but then it'd be more obvious he's freaked out. And, you know, cares about them. So he goes for, instead:]

You got doctors and meds and stuff, right?

[thefuzzyguy]

Ja, I ported us both to the hospital when he answered the door looking a little too dead to interest the Grim Reaper. There's medicine and stuff.

[He'll just not mention that he screwed up the trip. And that if he hadn't, Pietro might have had a doctor around for the seizure, not just the aftermath.]

[catchingflies]

[Good idea, Kurt. Todd's worried enough already. He frowns at the screen, then rather obviously comes to a decision right there on the phone.]

I'm gonna come see you guys. Even if, y'know, it's just from the door and they make me wear one of those stupid mask things. You sure y'don't know which one yer at? Even, like, part of town or somethin'?

[thefuzzyguy]

Sounds like a bad idea.

[But he's not going to argue. Seems like he'll lose.]

Let me try and get up. There's a window.

[It takes a while and there's a bit of wheezing and coughing, the sound of scrambling on a wall, and a brief glimpse of Kurt's back with the inducer on.]

Ja, um, there's a kind of brownish building mit a broken roof across the street und some broken down fencing outside. Oh, there's the hospital over... east.

[catchingflies]

[Todd is fidgeting and foot-tapping over on his end while he waits. He tries to work out the map in his head once Kurt starts talking.]

So close enough to the hospital t'see it. Kinda west from it. And brownish building with broken roof. Guess you ain't gone blue yet, so I can't ask for that.

[thefuzzyguy]

I'm not up to having that conversation with the nurses, nein. But a lot of them know me from working here, and Quicksilver is really unpleasant. They'll probably know who you mean.

[There's a heavy thump and the communicator jumps awkwardly as Kurt flops back onto the bed and coughs again.]

[catchingflies]

I'll ask around. And I think I might have Wing to fly me over so I can find th'place before, y'know, next week. So I'll be there, okay?

[Don't die on him in the meantime or he will cry, man.]

[thefuzzyguy]

Ja, we're not going anywhere. If you show up and we're passed out, just throw something at Quicksilver. He'll make enough noise to get me up.

[And he sort of plans on passing out again for a bit. Conversation should not be this tiring.]

[catchingflies]

I'll knock or somethin'.

[And with that, he hangs up, to get ready to go!]
