[Network] @hotstud_xxx; video | Day 52, evening [open]

[The video feed will show the inside of a tool shed where a small, flying robot is moving around in the dim light cast by the tablet.]

Hey, Trinity! Wibblelips! Look what I found. It flies, it screams, it's alive. It also happens to be the reason I'm stuck in a shed for the night. Now, I got a screwdriver.

[The screwdriver is held up into view in a pink-gloved hand.]

And I got a hammer.

[The screwdriver is set down and the hammer is picked up to show.]

It's a hammer of justice. It's a hammer of warning. And it's going to be the hammer I take to that freaking thing unless you tell me how to get it to stop screaming in my face. Hiro, you needed some robot parts, right? Might be able to get you some.

[Some say the world will end in ice. Some say in fire. Apparently Tadashi got to do the whole perish twice thing. Well, that's just great.]

and i bet you went on to study and research in his name
how heartwarming

[If the sarcasm isn't coming across, Hiro may want to look a little harder for it.]

you know what an infarction is?

[baymaxing]

truly.

[And that's sarcasm right back. Because. Gosh, House. Rude. :l this is his bro, man. Actual bro.]

infarction? that's. tissue death? isn't it? that's what happened with your leg?

[He's not Tadashi. Not his parents. But he spent enough times in hospitals and around medical text books all the same. Especially with Tadashi's work on Baymax and his muttering to himself during that period of all the research and coding that went into him.]

[Well, color him mildly surprised that Hiro knows what that word means.]

yep
blood clot in my thigh
only no one knew what it was
muscle death's super fun
they took out the clot after i diagnosed myself a few days after coming into the hospital screaming in pain
washed all the crap that had been building up back into my system
and then they cut out a chunk of my thigh
just to be sure, you know?

[He's clearly not bitter.]

i think i'll still count on epps for any second opinions

and with these exciting revelations out of the way
the robot is still screaming
you gonna help me with it or not?

private

[baymaxing]

fair enough. i'm not an actual doctor.

you know she could just be messing with you, right? maybe if i was right there with you to access it that would be easier. but i'm not sure there's a lot i can do from here exactly. sorry, you're on your own here.
