starspangledhero | ( text; ) Karkat is the one that fell down a hole this time

OKAY SO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW EVERYONE GOT COOL STUFF AFTER THE THOUGHT FISHIES WENT AWAY AND I HAD TO PUNCH A SHARK AND HOW I GOT A MUSTANG (LIKE THE ACTUAL HORSE NOT THE CAR)??? WELL I DID! BUT IT WAS WILD SO I HAD TO BREAK IT IN. AND I FINALLY MANAGED IT WITH ONLY A COUPLE KICKS TO THE EVERYTHING.

CAN'T USE SHIFT CAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE I BROKE MY HAND CLEANING HIS HOOVES. TYPING WITH THE OTHER.

OH AND I GOT SOME COOL OUTFITS TOO! I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL OF THEM ARE BUT ONE HAS A WHIP AND A HAT AND ANOTHER LOOKS LIKE A POLICE UNIFORM AND A SPOOKY ONE AND A COUPLE OTHERS. I LOOK REALLY GOOD IN THEM!

GUYS MY HAND LOOKS REALLY GROSS LOOK AT THIS:

HOLD ON I'M HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON VID

( video; english )

--oh, there we go!

[ America grins, then turns the video to his hand. It's swollen, one of the fingers is blackened, and the nail has fallen off. He has to show everyone his gross injuries always. He turns it back to himself; he's wearing his Indiana Jones outfit, minus the hat. ]

Sick, right? I'm gonna splint it up and stuff, so hopefully it won't take too long to heal! And then I can get to work making a saddle to fit him and Namine's pony! The plains should be thawed enough to graze them this spring. Man, I'm excited to finally get to ride again!

And if anyone has some pain meds or anything, that'd be cool.

[ America gives a thumbs up with his non-broken hand before shutting off the video. ]

[Here, America. Enjoy Luke's best attempt at imitating Layton's stern, serious voice and face. Note: it is mostly a failure since he's still tiny for his age and also thirteen.]

The doctors are very nice, Mr. America. You really ought to go. And they do have some supplies. I'm sure they'd be happy to take care of your hand.

Besides. You can't rightly wrap up your own hand!

[ooc: Voting is Monday and Tuesday of next week. Last night was "Meet the Candidates" night. It was terrifying X_x; I'm a good public speaker, and I had a few people tell me I was the most direct and to-the-point speaker of the night, but I still worry. I am just a lonely nursing major running against a lot of Political Science/Diplomacy majors. I'm actually running for the most contested seat in SGA VP--there are 4 people running, one seat. The most competition behind that is for President (3 people, one seat). The senate seats are a cakewalk in comparison. At least I know the guy from the school paper is going to vote for me. I'm on senate now and he interviews me every week because I'm always doing a bunch of ~~crap~~ initiative and he was like "what are you running for?" "VP." "Ah, good. Well, I'm voting for you then." I was like yaaaaaay lol One vote down! This is longer than my actual tag, and for that I apologize X_x;]

Most of 'em are kinda miffed at me and keep denying me drugs. I'll get to 'em later!

[ He waves his hurt hand dismissively. All things considered, he's taking the pain very well. ]

I can do it well enough! I've done it for decades!

[ ooc: Oh wow. SGA always seemed like so much work and stress to me... also I'm too lazy to lead people hahaha. Plus I'm not really a public speaker. If I have to talk in front of people, theater is more my forte. I WOULD VOTE FOR YOU IF THAT'S ANY CONSOLATION ;w; ]

[Wiggle. He looks dissatisfied with this answer.]

You're being awfully difficult about getting help when you need it, Mr. America!

[ooc: It is what it is, I signed myself up for it!]

I said I'd go to the hospital eventually. Soonish eventually. That's good enough, right?

[ ooc: Ahhh well still, try not to get too stressed! GO FIGHT WIN. ]

[Have this annoyed look, America. Luke's given up, officially.]

If you say so, Mr. America.

[Pauuuse] May I come meet your new horse?

[ America completely ignores the annoyed look, long used to it from England, and brightens up. ]

'Course ya can! Actually, Namine has a pony too, and Paintbrush is way more docile than my horse. If you wanna ride, I'm sure she'd let you have one!

[Luke brightens at the prospect of coming to meet horses.]

Maybe I can ask your horse why he wanted to break your hand! It wasn't very nice of him. And help you bandage your hand, if you'd like.

[ooc: Can Luke come nooooow? He has an eager.]

Oh yeah, that's right, you can talk to animals! I totally forgot that... after Puppy got eaten by Nepeta...

[ He looks sad for just a moment. Oh, how he misses his doggy hellbeast. But he bounces back relatively quickly (and pointedly ignores the offer about his hand). ]

Yeah, sure! Be the horse whisperer!

[ ooc: technically after the Japan, Tatsumi, and Eridan BUT YEAH it can happen in the same night! ]

Oh no! Poor Puppy, I didn't know she got eaten..that's awful.

I'll come now! Well..you know. In a little bit, at least!

[ooc: that's okay. Luke takes a long time to get there because I picture him having to contact every adult in his house to tell them where he is going.]

Yeah... but the troll who ate her is nice enough, despite that. At least she went quickly.

Okay!

[ ooc: Meanwhile, America will be getting shot in the foot, among other escapades. LUKE JUST MIGHT HAVE TO ESCORT HIM TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER TONIGHT. ]

[ooc: I've clearly resurfaced from elections/exams/SHUMUN [our Model United Nations conference we run here for high schoolers]. Sorry for the late tag X_x; we can drop if you don't want to backtag.]

[Luke gathered his things and immediately headed over to America, deciding that while he was there he could also make sure America's hand was really okay, and introduce himself to America's new horse. So here is a Luke, knocking on the front door.]

[ And here is America, answering the front door!

...His hair is superbly messed up and he's limping. Does that dampen the smile on his face? Not. in. the least. ]

Hey Luke! 'Sup?

[ He sorta forgot the horse thing in between getting shot and shaking trolls. ]

M...Mr. America...why are you limping now?!
