CEO: You the new Knight?

a fox in hounds clothing: yeah
a fox in hounds clothing: didn't know we had a CEO

Edited 2020-01-19 01:58 (UTC)

CEO: You wouldn't purchase prosthetics from just any street peddler, would you?
CEO: I need a time and place for the delivery.

a fox in hounds clothing: oh
a fox in hounds clothing: you're Intensity
a fox in hounds clothing: isn't CEO a little catchier?
a fox in hounds clothing: I can be wherever you need in an hour

CEO: We can argue name semantics later, Hound.
CEO: Lobby or avante dorm. Your pick.

a fox in hounds clothing: don't like having strangers over?
a fox in hounds clothing: Avante

CEO: Not while game effects are still in play.
CEO: I'll be there in an hour.

a fox in hounds clothing: alright

[Guess who's knocking on avante's door in an hour. With two limb-shaped objects wrapped in heavy cloth]

[middle aged man in sunglasses opens the door.. a bit later than one might expect but he has one arm and one leg and is using a crutch to get around so cut him some slack

blantly looks Intensity over appraisingly, then steps back to let him in]

You put together together that fast, or do you just keep them in stock?

[He steps into the dorm, closing the door behind him with FiN powers because his hands are currently full]

I've gotten faster with practice. And people don't like being without essential limbs for long.

Care to inspect them before a White Mage grafts them to your body.

[his eyebrows go right up]

A what's going to what?

[Sigh.

New people]

You need someone from SensitIV! to attach the limb to your body. Their attachment fee is usually 300 points.

I've made sockets for each so you can swap out limbs later if you want something different. Without having to cut it off.

[makes a face like, ugh, nonsense demon magics]

Guess that's gotta be easier than however they attached them the last time.

Alright. Let's see them.

[He unwraps the cloth and sets both limbs on the dining room table.

They look like the standard prosthetics you would see in a sci-fi movie. Made of steel, lightweight, and with full articulation of fingers and joints. And thanks to Shrike's measurements, made to fit.

As discussed, with each limb is a socket/port that should be attached to the flesh stump first. Then the limb can be attached to the socket afterwards.]

Since Shrike paid me extra, the arm comes with a light built into the top of forearm. There switch is located on the underside.

Getting tossed into a dark place is not all that uncommon around here.

[whistles a little when they are laid out, he takes a seat so he can reach out run his fingers over one]

Slick. Don't suppose it's got a rocket punch?

[he's joking, probably]

Additional features cost extra. And prices may vary.

Test these out for a while and then we can talk about add-ons.

[grins, a little intrigued by the idea of add ons]

Alright, I'll make a wishlist.

You got a suggested contact among the 'white mages'? I haven't met any yet.

[Pulls up these two profiles on his phone.]

I usually go with Persephone or Izanagi.

Though most will probably do it if you ask.

[looks over at them and nods]

Got it, I'll send them a line. Thanks for getting this done on such short notice.

Of course.

Though do sate my curiosity. How did you lose them so quickly? Rough arrival?

They were missing upon arrival. The opposite of quick, really. I'm guessing they've been missing at least ten years.

Good to know people go through limbs so fast in this place that you'd assume I started with four to begin with, though.

[Holds up his own metal prosthetic left limb]

Well, I certainly did. And I wouldn't be so efficient at making them without the proper supply/demand cycle.

Though it seems recruiting is being bratty if they brought you in with such a handicap.

[snorts]

So I heard. I definitely had prosthetics in the past so I'm not sure why I didn't arrive with them. Entertainment value of watching someone struggle without them, I guess.

[gestures at CEO's arm]

So a lot of people go this route, even though apparently the 'white mages' can just give them a new arm?

Future is Now gains certain advantages with prosthetics due to our power set. And as for the White Mages...

Sometimes they go off the rails now and again. And people don't want to deal with them. That's what happens when your brand is cute, but not okay.
