Porter: *has been working on a rooftop to seal a hole that was leaking into a safehouse using his unique metal spit. It's been raining all day, but being as stubborn as he is, he decides to keep working, since there has been no thunder or lightning* Ellie: *holding up an umbrella over him, huffs* This is a stupid idea.....*shivers and tugs her jacket around her tighter* Porter: *hears her speak and turns to ask her what she said, but his foot slips. He barely catches himself, one foot going over and one remaining barely on the roof* Shit... Ellie: Porter! *drops the umbrella, gets closer to him and holds out a hand* Come on....I don't want you getting hurt.... Porter: *moves his other foot upward to get close enough to grab her hand, but his planted foot slips instead, taking him completely off of the roof. He hits the sidewalk awkwardly, and lets out a loud grunt as all of the wind is knocked out of him, and his leg makes a loud snapping sound* Ellie: Porter!! *carefully makes her way off the roof to the fire escape, darts down to him* Oh shit, are you still alive?! Stay with me! *panicking a little* Porter: *cursing repeatedly under his breath.* I'm fine...shit... Just help me up already... Ellie: *does her best to help him up* Okay.... Porter: *has to balance on one leg as the other foot seems to dangle a bit* Shit... That's....not good... Ellie: Let's try to get you home...Auntie could probably fix you up.... Porter: No...I know a guy... *nods off toward a side road* I don't need a "probably"... Ellie:.....O-okay...*helps him toward the side road* I mean, she could definitely mostly fix you......though she likes leaving most of it to heal on its own... Porter: *hops as they go* This guy can have me walking home without a bandage, splint, or stitch Ellie: Really....? *strains a bit while supporting him, is not very strong* Porter: Yeah, and I took him home after he drank a few too many, so he owes me a favor Ellie: I swear, most everyone in the slums owes you a favor~ *teasing to hide her worry* Porter: We're not going to the slums. *gestures toward the fancier buildings of the gardens* Ellie: *blinks*....Glad I wore one of my good wigs..... Porter: Eh, he's not exactly all the way on the lawful side of things... Ellie: Just who is this guy...? Porter: *chuckles, hiding how much pain he's in* Faith healer Ellie:......Does it involve snakes...? Because there was that guy in America who used snakes in his faith healing and he got bit and -died- Porter: No, it involves the Vale. *grinning still* Ellie: The what? Porter: *hopping forward a bit faster as the building comes in sight* He'll explain... Ellie: Kaaay....*gets him to the building as quickly as she can, frowns as water drops onto her, hates the rain* Porter: *bangs on the door* Coleman get your ass out here Anthony: *from inside* The vale values those who are patient in all things, my brother cousin Ellie: It's wet and there's a -lady- out here! Show some consideration! Porter: Coleman, the Vale also rewards people who don't keep the guy with the broken leg waiting Anthony: *opens door, recognizing Porter* Oh it's you, why didn't you just say so? Porter: Because my leg is snapped in two. *grumbles out curses* Anthony: Oh my! That won't do, come on in *ushers them inside* Ellie: *helps him in* Oh thank goodness. He is not a light man. Porter: *hops in and leans against a wall* Coleman, can "the Vale" help me out? Anthony: no problem THE VALE is an all powerful entity and I its instrument/child *helping Porter to a couch* just lay down here and we'll get this started Ellie: seriously, what is *in a big dramatic voice* "THE VALE"? Ellie: Because I'm getting kinda skeeved... Anthony: *studying porter's leg* Do you want what Porter knows or what everyone else gets? Porter: *flops on the couch and pulls his pant leg up, showing a bone slightly protruding through the skin* Anthony: *makes a face* ouch Ellie: *shudders at the wound* I...would like to know what Porter knows. Seeing as my great aunt is a healer as well so I don't put much stock in faith.... Anthony: the vale is how i make money. I saw how much people were willing to pay for faith healers that don't work so i figured they'd pay even more if one did. *closes eyes and focuses on Porter's leg* This is gonna itch. A lot. Ellie: That's.....brilliantly evil..... Porter: *shrugs* Better than how it fee- holy shit that itches! *grabs the couch cushions tightly* Ellie: Ish. Anthony: *smiles as Porter's bone rearranges its self in his leg* Porter: Shit.... *grits his teeth* It's a damn good thing I can spot a con from a mile away..... This would have been a pain to wait through. Ellie: *wants to provide comfort in some way but keeps herself from doing it, isn't sure how receptive Porter would be to it*..... Anthony: *looks around* Well that will go for another minute or so. Does anyone want something to eat or drink? Ellie: *shakes head* No thanks...oh! *small smile* I'm Ellie, by the way. Nice to meet you, Mr. Coleman. Thanks for helping him. Bosslady would be mad if she lost one of her best. Anthony: It was no problem, there's no charge for friends so long as they keep the secret Porter: *grumbles* Suck up... *chuckles at Coleman* So I'll leave here at a hundred percent, right? Anthony: Hundred and five *smiling* you had a cold coming on Ellie: *shrugs* It's not like I'd tell anybody...and so long as people are getting fixed, I suppose it doesn't matter what they're led to believe...and the cold was probably because this guy decided that fixing a roof couldn't wait until the rain, you know, stopped. Anthony: Am I to assume that is how we ended up here? Ellie: Right in one, cupcake. Porter: *rolls his eyes* For the record, there's no point in fixing a leak once the water isn't a problem anymore... Anthony: True... Ellie: You wait until it stops so that the next time that it rains, it won't be a problem and you are less likely to end up here....*sighs*.....*looks at Coleman* Out of sheer curiosity...would you be able to grow back someone's arms...? Anthony: Well I can't say that I've tried *shrug* but i don't see why not. The creation of scar tissue is all that stops the healing process, so i would have to make another cut if the arm has healed over Ellie: it's both arms...cut off at the shoulder....though I dunno of Jericho would be up for it since another friend is already making him robo-arms... Porter: Robotic arms come with pros and cons... *starts to test out the leg as the itching stops* Ellie: True.... Ellie: Still...robot-armssss! Anthony: Either way, I would be happy to help, especially if he were willing to tell people that I did it Porter: *chuckles* I think the criminal underworld would love your service Ellie: ^^; Though I'd have to keep you away from my aunt Cornelia....she's....old fashioned when it comes to healing so she might cause a fuss.... Anthony: What? The "faith" healing part? Ellie: No, the fact that you heal the whole injury. She thinks that after healing the critical damage, the body should be left to heal the rest on its own. Anthony: Oh I see, I’ve dealt with her kind before. They come in to service shouting "what you do ain’t natural" and leave Porter: *grins, holding in a laugh* Ellie: Nah, she'd probably be more like "You goddamn f*ckhead, this is why kids today are so goddamn lazy! Rawr rawr rant rant When the boys and I stormed Normandy...! Etc..." Anthony: *laughing* well I’m sure she'd at least cut me a little slack if i told her i make sure to keep my mom in good health Ellie: Maybe. She's a hard woman to please. Ellie: Make no mistake, I love her to death....but...well...have you ever seen Gran Torino? Anthony: ....yeaahh Ellie: *nods* Yeah. Anthony: so she would have put a cast on his *gestures to Porter* leg and been done? Ellie; Nah, she would have healed it until only a fracture was left, then put a cast on it. Porter: That's why I'm here, not there. Ellie: Can't say I blame you, really... Anthony: *fake shocked* you didn't want to deal with weeks of discomfort!?! Anthony: So how do you feel? Porter: *stretches* I don't have a cold. *chuckles* Anthony: Perfect Ellie: *grins* Now then, can we wait until the rain stops to fix the roof? I'd rather not have to drag your heavy ass back here again. Porter: *nudges her* It's called exercise, kid Anthony: Well if either of you ever need me, I promise not to put you through THE VALE unless 'm in the middle of service Ellie: I get plenty of exercise. I'm just naturally curvaceous. *blinks*....Service...? Porter: He runs a full fledged Church of the Vale... Anthony: Churches don't have to pay taxes *grinning* Ellie:....that's evilly brilliant... |
