[This is a risk. Not everyone likes him and he knows at least one that probably wants him dead. Still, he won't sit and hide just because of some injuries. Besides Notch makes for a wonderful bodyguard.

Hawke really should be in bed instead of in front of his console, but here he is. He looks better but only barely. There's bruising where his head struck the wall and his left arm hangs in a sling. If he looks grumpy it's because he is. Hawke hates how useless these injuries have made him but he refuses to use what few potions he has on anything not life threatening.

After a beat he lifts a scribbled note.]

I need a hand. Who wants some work?

[Man this sucks.]

[So she can't read. So what? She can still glare intimidatingly through the console if she tries hard enough. If you move outside of that house, Hawke, she will be there to drag you back to bed. So there.]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke just stares at her for a moment, utterly unfazed by the glare. After a moment he just sighs and waves with his good hand.]

Fancy me▒▒▒▒g you her▒▒

[He frowns at the console and slaps it, then immediately winces. Whoops.]

[kazilik]

Do not le▒▒▒▒ your r▒▒. [Which she punctuates with a swish of her tail, scowling at the console.]

[Tess has made it to the console today - she's got some crutches or whatever so she's not completely confined to her bed. But she's going up the walls.

After a moment, she holds up her own hand-written note.]

Help!

[iwannabeadragon]

[Oh Maker what's going on here? Does he have to stage a rescue while he's this battered? Because he will dammit.]

What's wrong?

[nowthatsfunny]

[She scribbles her next note furiously, and when she holds it up she has a sardonic expression on her face.]

Broken leg. Stuck w/ grouchy old man & 2 kids. About to go crazy!!!

[grigio]

[But...writing. And holding it up long enough for him to see.]

What do you need?

[iwannabeadragon]

[More scribbling.]

I've got work to do and no time to waste. Also a very large dog driving me insane. Will pay.

Re: video:

[grigio]

[Scribbling writing holding it up for a while.]

I can help with the dog. And after, I'll try to help with whatever I can.

[backinakidflash]

[Bart frowns worriedly at the screen and holds up a hastily written note.]

Are you OK?

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke just stares at Bart for a moment before his eyebrow arches as if to say 'really'. Then he scribbles another note.]

I'm peachy. In fact I feel like dancing.

[Leave it to Hawke to be a smartass through hastily written scribbles.]

[backinakidflash]

You look like you already were, if you know what I mean. Does the other guy look so pretty?

[There is a cheeky grin that accompanies the first sheet of paper. It fades fast with the next sheet.]

Seriously, dude. What happened?

[skeletonenigma]

[Skulduggery doesn't move much even on a good day, so while his feed also freezes occasionally, it's... surprisingly difficult to tell when it does. At least, until he holds up his own handwritten note.]

Do you need me to bring you something?

[iwannabeadragon]

[It'd be unsettling if Hawke wasn't already getting used to conversing with a living skeleton. He adapts to the weird rather quickly.]

A new arm maybe, or some ribs you're not using.

[skeletonenigma]

Alas, I'm using all of those. What about food?

[And whatever else living people need. Skulduggery isn't as sure as he'd like to be. A minute later, and there's another note.]

Hygiene products?

[ruinsprofessor]

I th¤░░ said someth░ about ░¤¤ that bad--?

[Raine shakes her head, reaches for paper and pen. After a few moments she holds open a notebook page, showing cramped, slanting handwriting.]

I believe I offered my artes, once before. If you would like assistance, I'm happy to help.

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke seems to honestly think about that one for a moment. Then he shakes his head.]

The hospital exploded. There are probably more people needing your help than me.

[alterer]

[And she's picking up the trend of writing on notes and holding them up. Nilin's expression remains bland as ever, though she does arch her eyebrows in question.]

What's the problem?

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke, on the other hand, smirks at her.]

I can barely hobble around my house let alone do actual work. It's driving me insane.

[unobtainableredemption]

[Kaine smirks as he holds up his paper.]

You know, you're right. You do have a way with people.

[Which is followed by a second one:]

What do you need?

[iwannabeadragon]

Told you. I'm a natural.

[At the rate he's going through notes he'll need more paper in his house soon.]

Simple things mostly. I can barely get around my house let alone go into town. Need help finding a place for kedan too.

[The video glitches, but the message is reasonably clear.]

[iwannabeadragon]

Not a walk I'd look forward to making but alright.

[problematical]

[ River looks distressed across the video feed. ]

I ca░░ hel░░.

[iwannabeadragon]

[Yeah he thought she might be when she found out about this. He tries to look as reassuring as possible.]

Alright. Are you okay?

[He won't deny her a chance to help but he's more concerned about her right now.]
