[behold: the underside of a table. if...you're aware of what the underside of a table even looks like, that's surely what you're looking at.

until a hand lifts and then gracelessly drops onto the screen with a heavy THWUMP.

a grunt.]

Get...backhh... [exhale. the view tilts, then dramatically shifts.

behold: Martin's face, sideways, on the floor. red-cheeked, bleary and slow-blinking.

cue nasally, confused sound:] Mruh–?

[a long stretch of just staring, squinting periodically. he is...sure these are words he can read on this screen. hang on. just...a second...........


nah. nah, he's just gonna...gonna let the screen drop flat and display the table again, rattling a little with the careless move, while he mumbles something unintelligible, topped off with some kind of whiny noise.]

[ You better believe Feferi's rushing home, and for some reason she pokes her head in the front door like she doesn't actually live here. ]

Martin? Are you still here? Are you still conscious?

[theguideless]

[there is no response.

...well, there is a response, kind of, but he's kind of got his face smashed against the floor, so it's unintelligible and...pretty inaudible.

and. and it's not actually a response-response, because he's not really listening. he's just making a sound.

y'know.]
