Who: Manji
Username: username
Warnings: mention of blood, worms, old injuries opening again

[Manji has been trying not to feed. Not wishing to continue to survive in that way. Only he found himself sluggish and tired almost constantly. Then there's the other side effect when his immortality curse weakens. Old injuries that were once healed start to bleed again.]

Hey, any advice on getting blood out of clothes? [He wasn't going to be able to afford to buy new ones all the time.

Then there's suddenly a grunt of pain as Manji looks off screen as he mutters under his breath.] Crap. Not another one.

[So it is him. Carter nods, rolling out of frame with his swiveling chair and looking for a suture kit.]

I'll see what I can do.

Where are you?

[canofmanji]

Apartment block C, but I can come to you. [Yes, he's planning on stubbornly walking on an injured leg. Is that not a smart thing to do?]

[setthetone]

[HE'LL START HIS OWN ENTITY CALLED THE EXASPERATION.]

What, and make my job more difficult? No, no, no, you stay put. Don't put pressure on that leg! I'll be right there.

[canofmanji]

Fine. Door's open.

[And what will the poor doctor walk in on? Manji sitting on a chair with a rather bloody towel tied around his thigh and it looks like his shoulder has just started to bleed as well. With only one arm Manji seems to be having trouble keeping pressure on both so for the moment he's pressing onto his shoulder.]

[Carter just. Stops in the doorway for a moment, taking it in, heaving a sigh, then pushes it away. Right. Time to be professional. He might be catty on the network but now that there's a patient to treat, the attitude simmers down considerably.]

What happened? Were you attacked?

[canofmanji]

Not recently. [He says cryptically.] This is an old injury. [He says that, but when Carter looks it's going to look fairly fresh.]

[setthetone]

An old injury? That looks like it just happened.

[He frowns, setting down his bag and putting on some gloves to take a closer look.]

You were right about one thing, that's definitely gonna need stitches.

[Should he just start the whole lecture about maybe worrying more about the flesh than the clothes next time? Maybe later.]

Is this Entity related?

[canofmanji]

Yeah. It is.

[Manji is quiet for a bit before he decides to come clean with the truth.] It appears my immortality might be weakening. It happened once back home and when that happened I started to fall apart. [But that had just been a poison which had slowed the creatures keeping him together until they could wait out the poison. What would it mean if there was no waiting this out?]

[setthetone]

[Hold on, new information. Brand new information. Carter pauses in his work to look up at him, gaping a little.]

You're immortal?

[It's not that outlandish, and he knows Rue is thousands of years old but...]

You mean, back home where you're from, without any Entity influence or anything?

[canofmanji]

Well, I wouldn't say without any influence. It's not an Entity, but a cur--TCH! [Manji suddenly hisses in pain as another cut on his leg slowly starts to open. In fact three of them looking a bit like claw marks split apart and start to bleed along with the earlier injury.] Ah, shit.
