I know we've all got lots to think about, what with another change of scenery coming very soon, so I'll keep this brief. If there is anyone here who...is mechanically-minded, then I would very much like to speak with you. Someone who might be able to build-...

[ Cecily sounds deeply uncomfortable, so rather than explain further, she makes a dismissive noise and exhales. ]

Please do let me know. ...And thank you.

[What's up, Cecily, it's your old pal The Nerd.]

Build what?

[He answers this maybe too quickly.]

Okay we're like, friends, and because we're friends you legally have to let me say this once without setting me on fire, but.

D'you need a hand?

Alphys might be someone worth contacting. She has a brilliant mind, and I'm certain that if robotics are within her grasp, mechanical skills have a good chance of being in her list of talents as well.

There are always the gods. [ Sharon doesn't say something like that lightly, either. ]

[ Hey there, The Nerd!! ]

Well, erm. One of two things, potentially? Depending on whether or not either is possible.

[ Inhale, exhale. Here goes. ]

I'm down to a single arm these days, and that...impedes my archery a bit. I was looking to see if anyone could either produce some sort of arm substitute - ambitious though the idea may be - or else, some sort of cross that's easy enough to use with a single hand.

Oh, Taako, d'you know what...hang on...

[ She makes a big show of setting the device down, switching it to video, propping it up so that he can see, and then flipping him off with her one remaining middle finger. ]

Nope, all fine, I've got a functioning hand right here.

Alphys, is it? Do you know where I might find her?

[ ... ]

...I can just contact her on this, can't I? Still not quite used to that.

I'm sure that they have a lot else to think about without needing to magic up an arm for one of us.

[ If that sounds like an excuse, it's because it is. ]

I'm sure she'll be easy to reach through the phone system. But I'll warn you, if you choose texting you'll get pictures of little cats and hard to read abbreviations.

Come on, Cecily, we both know that's some bullshit.

[His eyebrows shoot up. Not that she can see, but, yeah, it's a good thing he didn't turn on his video. Yikes, Cecily.]

That's a big ask. How'd you lose your arm? And, uh, how much of it did you lose? Send me a pic.

[Laura sounds frustrated, but it's on Cecily's behalf]

Jesus, I don't know. Have you tried the lab? Or if they can't figure something out, the gods?

[He just bursts into full-bodied laughter, tilting back on his chair and only not falling over because he has a magic hand to catch him.]

Oh, fucking classic. But look, you know Lup n' I do good work. 'Mm sure we could figure somethin' out for your little stump problem.

[Though, as much as he hates to admit it, there is a slightly faster option...]

If you really wanna suck up, Hope might do it. Got Lup a new bod once. Even let her pick the customization on her tits. You could get like, the the super arm. Buncha extra fingers or whatever.

I'm not sure I can text at the moment, to be honest, so I'll be spared the...pictures of cats and abbreviations.

[ That does make her snort in amusement, though. ]

Sharon, Hope has brought me back to life twice over now. Do you really think he'll throw in an arm on top of that? I've also not been particularly supportive of him and his ilk in the past.

[ Though she did die the second time by defending his temple, so that has to count for something, right?? ]

An elf took it. [ Comes the prompt, flat-toned response. ] Hang on.

[ Congrats, Newt: you're going to receive the best photo she could manage of it, which. Is admittedly kind of difficult, when you're not used to using phones or cameras. Even so, he'll still be able to see that it extends no farther than where the elbow was. ]

This was magic, or else I think it wouldn't look so nice and tidy. [ Thanks. Solas!! ] Others have suggested I consult the gods about this problem of mine.

Haven't been to the lab, not...really wanting to involve the gods. [ Maybe that's the wrong move, but she wants very much to exhaust all other options first. ] I'll visit the lab soon, though, if you think it's worth the visit.

I'm not having you solve all of my problems. We all have our share of insanity to deal with...

[ And the twins have already helped her with her arm once before, so she's inclined to deny him another opportunity for reasons of something like stubbornness, or maybe even embarrassment that this is a problem to begin with after what they did for her. ]

Are you saying that I could get new tits from Hope? Well, Void take the new arm! The only reason it could possibly be more valuable than some very perky breasts is if it came with all middle fingers for easier use of insult.

You've dodged a bullet, then. While adorable, it makes it impossible to sort through.

[He knows he probably doesn't need to worry about making the audio message private, but he doesn't want to hurt Alphy's feelings. She's a nice girl, and he doesn't like offending even slightly when he's fond of a person]

[Another message swiftly follows.]

If you can't get ahold of her, and no one else can help you, let me know and I'll track her down. Good luck, hope you find the assistance you need.

[ A chance--! To be helpful!!!!!!! The voice over the feed sounds old and evenly paced but very enthusiastic. ]

What do you need built, ma'am? If we can get the parts, it's quite possible I can design and fabricate what you need.

Then sounds like the lab's your best bet. It's a lab, it should be full of smart people, right? [she sounds hopeful]

Okay, but hear me out, I'm basically a real god, sooo.

[But the rest of this is more funny to talk shit about, so here we fuckin' go.]

Look, Hope literally didn't know what a body was supposed to look like, I think he just writes over whatever the last copy was if you die. I'm pretty sure if you were like "no, humans in my world have like, 17 fingers and they're all the middle ones" he'd just fucking do it. Also, now you have to, this is incredible.

Thank you, again. I've left her a message, and I'll get back in touch with you once I've heard one way or another.

[ At the very least, she appreciates everyone being so gosh-darn helpful! ]

I'm not sure what it would require, exactly. The thing is, I've lost my left arm, but I used to be an archer. I'm not sure how to...ah, defend myself - and the city - anymore.

[ In saying the issue out loud, she seems to be pained about it greatly in a way that extends beyond any physical pain and which reaches some level of despair... ]
