Horrible Mutilation Is Funny

[There's some fumbling and then childish grumbling as the phone receiver is picked up and then promptly dropped. It's a moment before the phone is picked up.]

Okay, so two questions. Do, uh, freaky friggin' accidents happen around that family all the time?

And, uh...if one of those accidents did happen to you, does anyone know if there's anyway to....uh...I guess let's say something got...cut off? Anyway to get that back, cause I'd kind of like to be able to hold things in my right hand again!

So yeah, I've heard there are "magic users" who could heal junk like this. Are there anyone who can, and how much would it cost?

Hey squirt, you ended up getting separated from me at the party.

[A small pause.]

You okay?

Fingers aren't difficult to replace. But I'll need materials. Are you capable of getting a few things for me with your good hand?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Whoa. Let's back up a minute.

What do you want in return?

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

The materials to do it with brought to me. It's a skill that I will grow rusty at if I don't practice. I welcome the challenge.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Wait, what?

Okay, just how much can you actually do? You're not just some talentless hack who's going to be experimenting on me, are you?

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Goodness no. I am one of the best ergaleomancers in England, and my father is even the High Ergaleomancer to the Queen. Keeping my skill sharp matters a lot to me, and I know what I'm doing.

A what? Sorry, I don't go to people who use made up words to describe themselves, unless ergaleomancer means "doctor" wherever you're from.

So it may not exist in -your- world, but it certainly does in mine. We work in tandem with doctors, and many other professions, making the machines necessary for such work. Replacement limbs and other medical clockworks are my speciality.

However, I do not cater to ungrateful brats. Good luck in finding another offer.

Well maybe I will!
