What: What do you even do for a broken arm?

[Figures out how to open the door again and then slams it closed behind his teammates when everyone's in. He stalks off to go look for — you know what? I don't even know what you need for a broken arm.]

[Just going to RUMMAGE LOUDLY through whatever is in the bathroom.]

[Wh... what.]

[phonyphanty]

[snickers]

Did I surprise you, 'brother'?

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

What...

What the hell?

[phonyphanty]

[Whoever he's turned into has a hella deep voice and looks like he hasn't slept in about a month.]

Ludicrous as it may seem, the hat did its job. I remembered something.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

You turned into someone else.

[phonyphanty]

Yes, that would seem to be a thing I do. Terrible habit, really.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Habit.

[Sneaking suspicion, here.]

[phonyphanty]

It wasn't my initial intent to mislead you. I needed to be someone, and you were simply the best option available to me.

[He moves as if stroking a nonexistent animal on his shoulder]

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

So you just —

We're not brothers?

[phonyphanty]

It's not likely.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Guess not.

Is this really you, then?

[phonyphanty]

No. This is the Twisted Samurai.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

So what about you?

Do you.

[phonyphanty]

Do I what?

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Do you. Be you.

[phonyphanty]

. . .

I shall do no such thing.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Why not?

[phonyphanty]

Hmph! I am not here to perform for your amusement!

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

You don't think it's a little weird, that no one's even seen who they're taking to?

[phonyphanty]

I hardly see why that should matter.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Thought you said your name was important. How's this any different?

It's your face.

[phonyphanty]

I said that because it was the "right" response. Neither my name nor my face truly matter.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

What do you mean the right response?

[phonyphanty]

The normal response. The response you wanted to hear. On a whim, I thought I might try and humor you.

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

But you really don't care at all?
