Switch

"Switch!" someone shouts and a chorus of voice start pouring through the cracks. I'm back. I smile. Tom is standing in front of me. "How are you?" I ask. My brother looks at me strangely. "What are you talking about? I just broke my leg. I'm not answering your jokes." I roll my eyes. I didn't know his leg was broken. If I had I wouldn't have made that joke. Whatever, It doesn't matter right now. I can fix it then yell at the system later. I got down on my knees and started binding his leg. "What are you doing?! That's going to hurt!"

"Yeah, that's kind of the point. I have to set it and put it in a splint."

"No, you don't. I have mods for things like that--" he stopped talking. His mouth opened but no sound came out.

"You're nonverbal." I stated. He grimaced, then nodded.

"Alright, brace for pain." Frantically, he waved his hands in the air.

"What is it?" I asked, impatiently. He proceeded to make a motion with his hands indicating cash and then wiggled his pointer finger in the air.

"I don't know ASL." After that, I looked around for the bandages.

"Wait, where are the bandages?"

Tom looked exasperated and starting flinging his hands around again. I went inside my head. Anyone know ASL? I ask.

It's literally one of my first languages, responds Alaric.

Ok, how am I supposed to know that?

If you ever paid attention maybe you'd know what purpose each of us serve.

I think I heard curses in about fifteen languages after that.

Fine, just get me someone to translate.

I'll go in the front with you.

Thank you.

Back outside, me and my co-con buddy started working together. Her name was Persephone, in case you wanted to know.

Ok, he says that we don't have any bandages.That's why he doesn't want you to start splinting it.

"What am I supposed to do?" I ask.

"Carry me to the helicopter. There you won't have to use any rusty pipes for bracing and I can sit comfortably while you do it." Addy translated for me. I nodded. Alice then helped me carry him over to the helicopter.

Once I was there I started spinning around in a circle. Why am I fronting? Who is here and why are there so many of you? Does anyone know how to fly a helicopter?

I waited a minute and there was no answer.

I'm kinda starting to freak out!

Just then I became aware of my brother staring at me from the bench. I waved and tried to smile but it was kinda hard to convince him of my fine-ness when I was currently sinking to the floor in a fetal position. I put my head in my hands and breathed in and out slowly. I'm fine. I'm fine. I am soooo fine. It took me a couple minutes but I got myself under control enough to fix my brother's leg. The next problem was figuring out how to fly this thing. Just as I started wondering how I got in this scenario in the first place there was another switch. It was a different alter's problem now. I could sleep.
