Quatre (Accidental video)

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*Albedo's phone is lying discarded on a side table in Albedo's apartment room, recording him sitting with a length of cloth bandage within arm's reach, a knife in his left hand and his right hand unusually bare. He curls his fingers briefly, pressing the tips of his long, pointed nails into the red 667 tattoo on the middle of his palm before opening his hand again and slashing the knife across the number. Instead of reacting in pain, he closes his eyes and lets out a pleased moan.*

Ahhh...that ought to do it. How frail this body is, though, that even this much is the limit of what I can safely inflict.

*The video ends as he reaches for the bandages and starts wrapping his hand, although he clearly has no practice in such things.*

[In a fairly surprised tone Miki asks] What are you doing?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*Wait, that was recording? Have a scowl, though aimed more at the phone than at you.*

A multitude of things, including, it would seem, having a bit of trouble with this piece of technology.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

I don't know how to use these things well either but the knife things a bit weird.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Well then, it's a good thing that I have no concern for the typical conventions of society, isn't it?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Pfft, people just say that to excuse their laziness.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Laziness? Au contraire. Wouldn't you say that it took a good bit of extra effort to accomplish this?

*And he holds up the injured hand, which has the number completely covered now.*

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Well if you can deal with the pain of stabbing yourself, why can't you deal with living within the rules of society?

What are you doing, Albedo?!

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

At the moment? Fending off boredom and testing just how long it takes for this body to recover from injury.

[Video]

[rodeospike.livejournal.com]

You idiot! Your body is mortal now. Don't you get that injuries are going to take a lot longer to heal? Especially an injury like that!

[Video]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I know that, Rubedo. Why else would I desire to know the rate at which this body heals? However long it takes, I think I can cope with this injury until then.

[WELP. HE LOOKS MAD.]

Do you know how dangerous that is?! What would have happened if you hit a vital point, Albedo?!

[Video]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*He looks insulted.*

I think I've torn enough people apart to at least be aware of where major arteries are.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

I swear I warned you against this sort of thing last time we spoke!

[Video] Need an e_e icon...

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Oh, quit worrying so much. I'm being quite careful not to do anything that would present a notable danger to my life.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[Oh so now you believe he worries about you. Feeling the love here brother.] I don't doubt your ability to inflict all sorts of types of wounds, but you can't even take care of them properly can you.

[Not that he blames you for that, after all you did have a healing factor that tops wolverines.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I think I can prevent myself from bleeding out well enough.

*Hush, you're still stinging his pride.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

...You do know that is not going to heal very quickly and you aren't going to be able to use that hand properly,right?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Even here, I have ways of defending myself that don't rely strictly on my hands.

[After Albedo's cruel words, MOMO had been avoiding him as best as she could. After seeing this video, though, she can't keep silent.]

Wh-what are you doing?!

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*Sorry MOMO, even now, he has to troll.*

What does it seem like I'm doing, Ma Peche?

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

But... but you're... Why would you do that to yourself?!

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Is it so difficult to comprehend that I might be enjoying this?

*He lifts his hand and licks off some blood that had trickled down to his fingers before he bandaged the cut.*

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

[She looks genuinely horrified now.]

Albedo, please stop!

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*Then his mission is accomplished. But that doesn't stop him from licking the blood off his fingers.*

What's the matter, Ma Peche? Afraid of a little blood?
