[There was an inherent risk with doing repairs to things while on a ladder. The house Keith and Lance had finally decided to claim hadn't exactly been in perfect condition to begin with, but they'd been fixing it up before the eruption. Some of their fixes were "unfixed", so now he was fixing again.
He'd been getting annoyed at the comm being in his pocket while trying to maneuver, and took a few moments to take it out of his pocket and place it on the top of the ladder.
The ladder, though, wasn't the most sturdy thing around. It was, after all, something that had been thrown together in a hurry in the first place. So, naturally, it was bound to give out at some point due to being used more than it could withstand.
The video came on just as Keith shouted in alarm. He'd made to grab on to something for support when the ladder suddenly hitched unexpectedly, and his movement triggered the video button at the same time that it knocked the comm off its resting place.
Everything on the screen tumbled. It was hard to tell what was falling and what wasn't. But it all came to a sudden stop with a loud crash, resulting in a nice view of the ceiling above and some of the repair work Keith had been doing.]
Ooww... shit.
[Keith was probably not okay...]

Where didn't it hurt? Keith had a feeling he was going to have a good number of bruises from this one. He gestured with his left hand to his right arm, which he seemed to be holding at an odd angle.]
It's my elbow... the right one.

Ah, hell...that could definitely look better. But it could definitely look worse. I'm going to check it out, and it's probably going to hurt. By probably I mean definitely. But this ain't our first rodeo, so... Okay, how 'bout this, I'm going to pick you up carefully and bring you to bed and we'll get this sorted, alright?

The good news is that it doesn't look broken. Bad news, looks like it's dislocated.

Either way, it fucking hurts... [He still felt a little lightheaded, too, and the nausea was setting in from the shock.] That girl. What's her name...? She's like a doctor or something, right? [It was really hard to think right now.]
no subject
[God. It's not fair Keith has to be hurt like this.]
no subject
[It was a suggestion, but Keith didn't really care how this went. He just wanted the pain to stop, or to do something to progress things along. It hurt and the delays were making him anxious.
Meanwhile, the sound of Kosmo teleporting in the living room could be heard. Had he just brought someone else to help?]
