14th Resurrection - This Devil's Workday

[sanctus_dei]

[Well, coupled with his own physical shortcomings, and complete exhaustion, Theo managed to get himself mangled at the tractor factory today. His left hand - this dominant one - is utterly shattered, torn up something fierce in some machinery. The supervisors tried to have him just wrap it up and go back to work, but he managed to sneak out. He walks home a bloody, pale wreck. Feel free to stop him/ignore him/whatever.

Later: a phone call! The phone fumbles a moment before he speaks. He sounds as irritated as always.]

_Shit... A-Are their any doctors left out there? And I'm not talking about the mad scientist woman. Or am I going to be left to die of sepsis in this place? Goddamnit...

...has anyone died here yet? Do you still come back?


And for god's sake, does ANYONE out there have a cigarette?!

Theo! What the fuck did you do to yourself! [Have a very worried friend]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

I... I fucking slipped or something. I barely remember. All I remember was my hand becoming intimiately close with the gears of the machine I was working on. I'm fucking screwed.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Shit Theo...have you found a doctor yet? Have you at least wrapped it up? Vodka's a good disinfectant, high alcohol content.

[Yes he's rambling a bit now, feel free to interrupt]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

...I think we have some vodka left. Jesus, this is gonna be bad.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Listen, if you can't find a doctor soon let me know and I'll come take a look. I can do the basic stuff at least.

[As Theo is sneaking out Fran appears and seems to be herding a cow into the factory]

Oh my! That looks terrible~ Let me take a look at that~

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Don't you dare! I don't want to end up some kinda weird robotic thing like your cows!

[relaxiamadoctor.livejournal.com]

[Fran frowns, looking at the hand. She'd normally stop to press treatment further, but she needs to get these cows moved]

How rude~ Well...okay, but be sure to get it looked at before it gets infected~

[Captain Paranoid is paranoid.]

Yeah, like I'm going to find any decent medicine in this town now.

[relaxiamadoctor.livejournal.com]

Well perhaps I SHOULD take a look at it then~

[She reaches out to grab his hand]

[Good news, your foreman has also spotted you. And she's not happy with what she sees.]

Oh my, that's horrible-looking. What did you do now?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

What did I do? That machine just about ate my goddamn hand!

[redorblueshot.livejournal.com]

Never mind. We need to get that disinfected right away! Or it'll really be bad!

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

No shit! But where am I gonna find disinfectant around here?!

[redorblueshot.livejournal.com]

I can see if there's any vodka around. It won't be as good, but it's better than not doing anything.

At home

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, your hand!

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, he pretty much looks like he got run over by one of those tractors at this point.]

Yeah. Fuck this place, Kay.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

...Did you at least get it looked at yet?

How many times has your not!dad come home covered in blood?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sorta. It's not like we have anything even close to medical care here. Where's the vodka?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

In the kitchen, if we have any.

[Hughes would love to be of some help to you, but he's busy... nnnot doing his job. No, he's abandoned his post at the cranks to work a friend's job! He's currently pulling limbs and fingers and scalps from shredders.

He notices there's more of them today than yesterday or the day before. Huh, gee, I wonder if that's because the workers are too exhausted to even care at this point.

So he doesn't even notice you as he's wiping blood on his jacket and getting back to that severed arm in the beet shredder! He looks quite determined.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[With a panicked look, Theo double checks to make sure he still HAS all his fingers. Yep, they're there - broken and useless and probably ruined for good, but there. Watching Hughes, he figured it could have been a lot worse.]

_{Christ Almighty.}

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

[Hughes finally notices him, and the determined look softened in sympathy.]

Goddamn--what'd you do??

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

I... I don't even know! The damn machine just nearly took my hand off!

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

[He frowns.]

Damn, that looks pretty bad... You need to get it looked at, and soon.
