un: sam | voice > video

Think someone could give me a hand with something?

( He starts with voice, isn't particularly looking forward to the idea of putting up a video. But he sounds tired, annoyed. )

I got this thing on my wrist I need to get off. ( The way he says thing makes it clear he feels some kind of way about it.

But he does, reluctantly, turn on the video to show what he means. So you'll get treated to the sight of his arm and the glowing cufflink on his arm. He turns his wrist carefully, shows the shape of it, and the underside of his wrists shows a darkening red mark on his skin under it from constant wear and pull over time. He pointedly doesn't call attention to the reddened hand prints you can see on his forearm, another on his bicep or the faint outlines of handprints on his biceps and shoulders. A moment longer of showing the cufflink, even unclips part of it to show the way it extends. And then, he cuts the video.

Back to voice:
)

Lemme know what you want for helping, I'll find a way to get.

It looks like it...

[ Hm. ]

What is it made out of? Do you know?

Sorry. I wouldn't know much, either...

I'm now wondering if we can break it.

[ But in true Silent Hill protagonist ideas -- ]

Or we have people who can heal... what if we cut off your hand and put it back?

[personal profile] badfengshui 2025-08-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ Weakly, he adds: ]

And then heal it back on...
badfengshui: (8)

1/2

[personal profile] badfengshui 2025-08-19 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if it can't be broken off --

[ The tone isn't defensive as much as it is weak. ]

Uh --

[ There is a very long pause as he goes on his own side-mission which was supposed to be finding a healer for Sam, but ended up talking with Superman about something completely different. ]

-- well, the answer is no.

But I did find someone who is pretty sure they can break it. The handcuff, not your hand. [ Important distinction! ]
