The water around Mountain Island wasn't hot so we went diving in our swim trunks.
Then the water got hot.

There are probably going to be a few days of follow-up treatment required.

[parodeity]

so were talking fullbody burns??

[splinten]

Pretty much. They aren't that bad. We did immediate treatment on site with nanites and they took care of vitals.

[do not trust Dirk's measurement of how bad his injuries are]

[parodeity]

and how long did you keep exploring after said treatment
which apparently was not effective enough to not tell me to get out burn kit shit

[splinten]

We departed immediately for home, Mom.
It took care of the worst of it. Now it's mostly some first degree patches.
Moving sucks but we've been gifted with flight and high tech communication.
ETA five minutes by the way.

[parodeity]

ok
am i meeting you at the base or what

[splinten]

I assumed the tower.

[Even though the base has a fully supplied med bay... Because Dirk still hasn't kicked the Strider mindset of You Patch Yourself Up At Home.]

[parodeity]

[ implying dave has ever once been to the med bay without being fucking dragged there ]

thats where i am now but you kept saying we after the initial i

[splinten]

The request was 'I.' The explanation was 'we.'

[parodeity]

but someone is patching the other half of we up
?

[splinten]

Do you want me to drag Jake to the medical bay so you can patch him up too?

[parodeity]

i was mostly just asking if there was some plan in place im not aware of
which i assume there is if youre willing to split up
but i was asking to be let in on the plan i guess
i cant patch someone else up before you though
i mean i could but dont ask me to

[splinten]

The plan was to send him to the med bay and tell him I'm not talking to him until he gets properly looked after.
Yeah, I know. I can't ask you to or else one day you'll ask me to patch someone else up before you.
Now that I think about it, you probably will ask me to. You're a huge dick about that kind of thing.

[parodeity]

yeah but probably only people you should patch up before me so it doesnt matter
you should text mom to look in on him then she can do the nanotech shit right

[splinten]

It does if you think there are people I should patch up before you.
Yeah she can take care of him. I was going to ask Sanson to go heal him some more magically.

[parodeity]

you should too
pretty much everyone from home qualifies
but ok that works then
i forgot sanson does that shit

[splinten]

No. If you, Roxy, and Jake come to me injured, you get treated in triage order. That's the end of the discussion. You'll all get into a dumbass argument over who should be treated last, so this ruling is coming down hard now. It's triage order and that's it.

[parodeity]

that makes some hilarious assumptions about my character that have already been proven false but whatever helps you sleep at night to believe
im setting up in the living room on the grounds theres a couch

[splinten]

Sorry for making the hilarious assumption that if I'm going to you when injured, you'd respect my wishes and do the same damn thing even if other people were hurt. That was really stupid of me.

[parodeity]

how about i just dont get hurt when anyone else is
this is one of those moments where i just regret everything ive ever chosen to say so maybe i should stop talking until you get here really

[splinten]

I'd prefer it if you were regretting what you decided instead of what you said, and then undid that decision rather than just wanting to undo admitting a decision, but ok. See you in four minutes.

[parodeity]

look in the event youre busy i can go to rose or something if its something i genuinely cant do myself
it isnt like she isnt scarily competent with a needle and thread
although i do feel i probably take my life into my own hands when allowing her to use them on me
im not going to split someones attention re other peoples injuries
theres no reason triage order ever has to be a thing

[splinten]

I have dibs on you.

[parodeity]

i didnt say i would never come to you just in certain circumstances i might seek out alternatives

[splinten]

You shouldn't.
