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?

The freakshow with the bat. He ever show up at your house or anything?

Not the full hand. Just three of my fingers.

A stupid one. It sucked even before the mutilation came up.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

How rude. And strange! How did you managed to lose them?

There might be someone in town who can fix it for you, but you should at least see a doctor in the meanwhile.

They just...got cut off when I was talking to that stupid housewife or whatever. I dunno. Then they were just...gone.

Yeah, yeah, I got that part taken care of. I'm fine there.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Sort of like the post office? That happened to me there, but not until after I signed something. But gone, so suddenly, just like that! Very odd. We should find out if happened to anyone else. Now I'm starting to wish I had gone to this. I figured something weird would happen!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. It was just so cool, watching three of my fingers disappear. Didn't hurt at all.

...Yeah, that's what I'm kinda hoping'll happen. That's part of why I made the call.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Well this town has so many strange things occurring, I sort of regret being in a place where it was happening first-hand! But I had other obligations, unfortunately.

Hmm, let me know what you find out! And if there's anything I can do to help.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Where were you at?

Sure. Alright.

Theta hosted a lovely party. I was there to help her out and meet some of her friends that I hadn't yet. A very nice time!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

...Who?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Ah, lovely woman! Another spellcaster, works with machines and the like. I shall have to introduce you sometime!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I....tch...it isn't magic if it's working with technology, Cynric. Though really advanced stuff can look like it.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Mm, there's a difference, trust me! You can combine the two for some truly incredible results. I find it fascinating. I'd have pursued it more in my life, but I know that my skills in science in technology still need a lot of work!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure, okay. Whatever. It's magic if you say it is, Cynric.

[He's honestly not fully in the mood to debate this today, all things considering, so the little baby will just let you have your way this time.]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

You should speak with her. I know I can't prove otherwise right now, but she can!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, alright. Ain't got any better leads.

[Too bad he already offended her into refusing service, lol.]
