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?

I-- I imagine a neck injury would work well. Some poisons, possibly. There is a woman in my house that could - and probably would - help.

Why jump to the more severe option though?

...I don't know. Just...if I can't find someone by today, I can't stay crippled Tak. I don't have access to my primary hand, so I could do frick all.

...I just don't expect anyone to help me.

And there is a time limit why?

Wait, hold on a moment.

[She hangs up the phone. After a few minutes pass, ding-dong goes the doorbell. Tak waits on your porch, in disguise.]

Because I want to, you know, have my HAND back.

[And, well, he's colored surprised.]

...Well. That was quick.

[Filter]: Hey, I read the thread below. Is this fine, or should Tak vamoose?

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

No such thing as a slow Invader.

... So. Any preferences for how the deed is done?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet for a moment.]

...I...actually found someone who might help me. Maybe.

...Could you maybe stay for a bit, case it goes bad and I need you after all?

Wait a sec, how are we filtering in real time?

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

Alright. Perhaps it would be best to stay out of sight for the time being.

Uuuuh, because...umm....BECAUSE! DON'T QUESTION IT.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He just nods]

Go wherever you want. We're probably mainly using the kitchen and frontroom, though.

...Thanks, Tak.

She makes an offhand gesture at you as she heads into a bedroom. Yeah, yeah, whatever.

[It'll be a bit later when he comes by, very slowing wiggling his reattached fingers.]

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

... I didn't think people came back to life here that quick.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

...They don't. Person who came over managed to heal me.

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well... good. That's good. Do they hurt at all?

[She looks just a bit disappointed.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs a little.]

A bit. Hurt worse when he put them back. Right now, they're just sore.

[A small smirk.]

What? Hoping you actually might have gotten a chance to kill me? Or just that we don't raise that quick?

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

You got me all excited for nothing.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Heh.

I'll try not to if there ever is a next time.

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

[Hmph. You better not]

That's one problem down. You sure you don't want to keep out of that Slugger fellow's reach for a bit?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

...If you honestly don't have a problem offering? Sure, why not.

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

You already showed me where you live, so I should reciprocate.

Besides, you're no good to me if you're dead all the time.
