@asymptotal has some Arcade for Ratchet Wrench:
“I’m, uh, bleeding here. You?”
[ meme ]
Blinking dirt and grit out of his eyes, Wrench stares dazedly at the sky. His ears are ringing, there’s the taste of blood in his mouth, and he’s pretty sure his mask is off in the distance shattered into tiny pieces. But he feels alive, blood pumping beneath vibrating skin. He was on an adrenaline high, which only meant that he was probably in immense pain in ten-to-fifteen minutes.
While he still has time, he does a check on everything. Toes? Wiggled. Fingers? Still there. Head? Still attached so he had that. Oh and ears, no longer ringing as much, so he wasn’t permanently damaged goods.
Licking at his dirty lips, the man lets out a (loud) giggle, and rolls his head to look at Arcade, bloodied teeth exposed in a smile. “Great.” Which wasn’t a good sign for the researcher, but that was besides things. “D’you think there’s more mines? Got ‘bout. Ten minutes left before I crash - should probably dance ‘round those before the pain kicks in.”
