[Sam's in what looks somewhat like a more high-tech tattoo parlor - one of the body modification studios - and he looks more worried than panicked as he glances at the phone, his attention clearly at something (or someone) on the floor. In the background there's definite arguing going on:]

Sir please, you shouldn’t be [Only the first speaker was visible, a young woman with a variety of piercings and tattoos, likely the attendant given the scrubs she was wearing, visibly alarmed as she was trying to convince the person on the floor to stay there.]

I’ll be fine, christ you nag worse than my mother ever did- [Obviously this wasn’t working as well as she hoped, face paling slightly as there was an uncomfortable-sounding crunch and breathless cursing that followed the irritated reply.]

Hey, so if any of you teleporters are paying attention, I could use a little help here. And heads up to the hospital, you're gonna have a pain in the ass coming in real soon. [Sam glances away from the camera for a moment and pinches the bridge of his nose as he adds an aside] Stephen, you need to go to the fucking hospital, legs don't bend like that.

I’m not going to the fucking hospital, I can fix this myself-

[Narrator: But he couldn't.]

Please, someone get here and shut him up. Doesn't look like anything life-threatening, but he's got broken legs and god knows what else. And he's in the shittiest mood I've ever seen him in, and that's saying a lot.

[ooc: red is Sam, blue is Stephen, replies will probably come from either one (or both), but don't expect Stephen to be very nice.

Also Stephen's replies will come via yelling at Sam's phone. Because Sam is a jerk and won’t let him snatch it]

[jolting]

We have sedatives, but the problem still is getting close enough to administer them. Unless you have a tranq gun or have a way to keep him still?

[such a good doctor, considering shooting a patient with a tranquilizer gun]

[wingedman]

Both his legs are broken, he's not running anywhere right now. And if you need someone to keep him from squirming, I can manage that.

[suckstobestrange]

Keep your fucking tranq guns away from me or I'm lighting you on fire.

[The question is if he has enough juice left to manage that.]

[jolting]

I'm more concerned with his hands. Based on my experience with magic-users, that's usually where the casting comes from.

[to Steve] A fire joke. You're cute.

[wingedman]

Valid point. His hands are fine, I'll hold 'em so he can't cast.

[Sam might be able to get away with that without Stephen losing his shit, but honestly, he's not totally sure right now.]

[suckstobestrange]

Sam, don't you fucking dare.

[Did you want rational understanding? Sorry, that's not on the menu right now.]

[wingedman]

Look, I won't try to restrain you if you don't try to set the doctor on fire, okay?

[suckstobestrange]

If he stays the fuck away and keeps his sedatives away from me then I won't have any reason to set him on fucking fire.

[wingedman]

Stephen. If you set this guy on fire I'm gonna get Babyface to work on you.

[suckstobestrange]

I'll feel zero guilt lighting his ass on fire and you know it.

[wingedman]

You can't burn the hospital down in a sorcerer pissing contest. Just accept that you're in a lot of pain right now and you won't be in pain if they knock you out, okay?

[Why is he still trying to reason with Stephen?]

[suckstobestrange]

Sorry, I'm not in the mood to let someone else treat me, especially not unconscious.

[Sam it is an exercise in frustration, quit while you're ahead.]

[wingedman]

[have you met sam because he's not quitting]

And I'm telling you that you can't do it yourself. How long till the aftershock from doing too much magic sets in? Cause then you'll be even worse off than you are now, and you still won't be able to fix your damn legs.

[suckstobestrange]

[Give him a moment to snarl and spit a few curses both because he's in pain and who said you could use logic on him Sam-

Keep it up Sam, you might be able to get a leg up on the situation.]

[jolting]

Guess what they say about doctors being the worst patients is true, eh?

[wingedman]

I'd say he's not usually like this, but that'd be a lie.

[jolting]

Listen, I won't sedate him if he keeps his magic to himself, all right? But he has to stop acting so ridiculous over this. Even with all my pride, I was willing to go for help when I was badly injured.

[wingedman]

I mean, to be fair, I was the one who suggested sedating him. I didn't think he'd react quite so badly.

[But then again, Stephen's reacting badly to basically everything right now.]

Don't worry, he probably won't do anything if I'm around, and I'll stick with him the whole time.

[jolting]

Go ahead and bring him in, then. Can't say the recovery time's going to be fast, but seems like he could use the down time.
