Anyone know how to fight a dinosaur?
[Someone got out on the wrong side of the velociraptor-susceptible bed this morning. Shirtless and rumpled and bleeding all over the toilet cistern he's sitting on, Luke's having the worst sleepover ever.
But there is a moment of peace in which to make this whispered video, and so he tacks on a maudlin revelation.]
America's stuff's disappeared. That means he's really gone, doesn't it?
[He knows it does. Doesn't stop him hoping someone will tell him otherwise.
Something heavy slams into the bathroom door, and Luke jerks back, staring for one, two tense seconds as he waits to recreate the worst scene in Jurassic Park. Outside, that shit-stirring little reptile is hissing and screeching like the smug bastard he is. He knows what he does.]
But the dinosaur's free. And mad. The dinosaur's really mad. Help. Please.
[Someone. Before he has to start surviving off toothpaste and soap flakes.]

You got one of those, doc? 'Cos I forgot to bring mine out today.
[It's probably just the dinosaur at the door that makes him look 500% done with his life.]

[he's not a fan of magic but it sure does come in handy]
[video]
That... [Man, he was going to say something horrible or sarcastic, but Victor might be on to something here.] Actually, if you could tranq them, that would be really useful when I have to feed them. I don't even know what raptors eat.
[video]
Of course I can. I may have to adjust the dosage a but to factor in the raptor's size and weight, but it can be done.
[video]
Yeah. One of the musketeers is coming to get me out, but if we come back this afternoon? It's just round the corner from the clinic. It'll give them a chance to calm down.
[Them. As in more than one. As in Luke neglected to mention that fact to anyone.]

[Why not turn America's room into a safari park? Which is a thought.] I guess next to a bunch of sick people isn't the best place to keep unsupervised carnivores.

The tiny raptor has momentarily given up on its scrawny teenage prey and noses around the empty room, as if searching for its lost owner. It puffs up with a shriek and a ruffling of feathers, moving with plodding steps. It's the awkward waddle of a prehistoric beast that's prepared to launch at anything that moves and start tearing intestines out.
Luke, little passive-aggressive cow that he is, has decided he's not going to contribute anything to this mission. If Victor comes out alive, he gets to be redeemed in Luke's eyes.]

He paused, sizing up the creature. It was beautiful and deadly. It would almost be a pity to bring it down. Oh, well. Victor lines up the shot and fires]
