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?

...Me too what?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Believe in magic.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

...What about it?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

It doesn't exist, for one.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Maybe not where you come from, but it sure as hell does in my world.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Really? How do you know it's magic and not, say, psionics instead? You could probably get a psychic to pretend to do what people think is magic pretty easily.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

The hell is psionics? Never heard of it.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Focusing on energy with one's mind and causing it to manifest in another form. Whereas magic creates something out of nothing, psionics bend the energy that's already there to do something.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. So where's summoning fit into that?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

What now? ...Oh, right. The summoning thing you told me about once with the guy you were protecting.

Could be teleportation, I guess.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Well, if it makes ya feel better callin' it somethin' different, that's fine. But I'd find somebody who can do it unless you feel like killin' yourself to get your hand or fingers back.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, alright. If those're the only two choices, there's only one I can really take.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If it's gonna grow your hand back, who cares what the hell it's called, y'know?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Psh. I guess.

[Still, it requires him to swallow his pride, and he don't like that.]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Lemme know how it turns out for ya.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, alright. Talk to you later then, old man.
