have you tried summoning the faeries?
just draw a pentagram in your own blood
trust me
it'll work
i'm a doctor

[wilsonsheart]

You must be very popular among your patients.

[So popular that they line up at the doors to the clinic, demanding to see him. So popular that his boss only has words of praise to shower him with.]

[rubikscomplex]

well, they keep asking for me
i try to tell them no
but the admin's a hardass like that and makes me listen to them
and by hard i mean big

[wilsonsheart]

Such a shame.

[She lets out a distracted breath as she sets her tablet down and tests her leg, gently touching the growing swell at her ankle.]

I was hoping by hard you meant something entirely different.

[She's learning very quickly that tears and panic isn't going to do anything to get in this guy's good books. Which makes things harder, because playing the fainting broad is always the easiest shtick to pull off. It's boringly easy. A twinge of frustrating bleeds into her voice, but she tries to play that off like it's just the fact that she needs to walk through ice to hopefully find something she can use as a bandage or a brace.]

So, are you really a doctor? Or were you just being cute?

[rubikscomplex]

nope, just cute
and a janitor at a hospital
them doctor folk talk about things like icing and splints, though
and if you have, y'know
wood and fabric from a couch or curtains or a bed
you can make one
the wood's inside if you can pry it up or find a chair to smash
or outside and cold and wet

[wilsonsheart]

I'll go now to check the next house over for anything that you've mentioned and then go to the hospital.

[In the meantime, please imagine her talking from on her back as she keeps her leg elevated without anything to prop it onto. Oh gee, there just has to be something there she can use, even though she doesn't have any medical knowledge to speak of.]

I'll have to thank the nearest doctor folk I find that learned you about those splints.

[rubikscomplex]

learned me roight good, aye!
and you're not moving wherever you are
so what are you doing?
what are you wearing?
paint me a picture, babe

[wilsonsheart]

[House receives a picture of a nice pair of legs, if you rule out the sad swollen ankle.]

Picture me in a cute skirt and a pink blouse, calming myself with some simple yoga before I brave the cold.

[Her skirt is of course much longer and ends just above he knees, she just hiked it up for effect in the picture, and she's not doing yoga at all, but she's painting a picture. Now, though, she's moving. She doesn't want to waste anymore time.]

[rubikscomplex]

[Color him intrigued.]

you have my full and undivided attention now, legs
what are your thoughts on fwb?

[wilsonsheart]

[When Amber answers, she's officially started moving. There's an echo to her voice as she makes her way carefully across the ice as to not fall again, and her tone is a bit more distracted because of it, but hey, talking passes the time, so why cut out now?]

My thoughts are that the "f" depends on the "b".

[Different friends give different benefits. Everybody wants something.]

[rubikscomplex]

a pretty lady told me i'm cute once
i'm also charming and rugged
like
super rugged at this point

i've also got a pack of cigarettes and matches
which are basically gold around here
plus
it's been scientifically proven that you look at least 20% hotter smoking after sex

[wilsonsheart]

Hmm...

[She seems to weigh her options very carefully, but she doesn't really have to. Sex for further bargaining chips to use in the future? It's not really that hard of a choice. After all, she's probably talking to someone who won't have any future relevance to her.

...right?]

Alright. That sounds fair.

[rubikscomplex]

see!
now this is what i like
why can't all girls be cutthroat bitches?
the world would be a better place
