SUBJECT: Armless.

Anyone know how to reattach an arm?

... or stop a detached one from rotting?

[Not appearing in these texts: any image of Greed stood around tapping a severed, clothed arm against his shoulder. The portals sometimes spew limbs, who knew?]

What are you doing?!

[Oh goody.]

FROM: greed@cdc.org

Crocheting.

FROM: greed@cdc.org

What does it look like I'm doing?

FROM: greed@cdc.org

At least I'm deciding something? Y'know, short of dropping it in a ditch and letting it rot.

FROM: greed@cdc.org

All you seemed to decide to do was clutch your automail and look sadly into the distance.

[ Oh yes, because this doesn't seem suspicious at all. ]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Why exactly are you asking?

[It's actually really not. For once.]

FROM: greed@cdc.org

Because I got smacked in the head with one after it came flying out of a portal.

If you want to stop it rotting, put it on ice.

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Reattaching it would mean finding the person who lost it, first. Are they here?

FROM: md.arbuckal.adrien@cdc.org

If it's organic material, it's been rotting since it was severed.

FROM: md.arbuckal.adrien@cdc.org

Is the person it was attached too still alive? Usually a severed limb results in fatal blood loss.

FROM: greed@cdc.org

So advice sooner, rather than later, would be great thanks.

FROM: greed@cdc.org

No clue. Maybe? I wasn't about to look through the portal it came through to check.

Portal it came through...

FROM: md.arbuckal.adrien@cdc.org

Why are you bothering trying to salvage it? Planning to use it to beat Neraki over the head if you run out of bullets?

Freeze it.

[He has experience.]

FROM: greed@cdc.org

Sure.

FROM: greed@cdc.org

Happen to have any lying around? Not melting, if possible.

Edited 2015-04-19 22:59 (UTC)

FROM: barnes.james@cdc.org

I do. Find a container first.

FROM: estheim.hope@cdc.org

I'm sure you've got the ice part down by now.

FROM: estheim.hope@cdc.org

Reattaching it is not a simple matter. There's a lot to consider such as damage to the limb itself, damage to the person's muscles and their nerves.

FROM: estheim.hope@cdc.org

It would honestly be a question best sent Mothership's way.

Edited 2015-04-20 03:20 (UTC)

FROM: greed@cdc.org

It's been mentioned a few million times now I think, sure.

FROM: greed@cdc.org

Nah. I guess I'll just let it freeze until someone comes to pick it up. I'd hope they'd notice it missing.

[Maybe his views on arm reattachments are skewed, given two people he knows have automail, which attaches pretty decently, crippling pain aside... and the fact he just regrows limbs if he loses them. If it's not an easy job, then his interest ends there.]

FROM: estheim.hope@cdc.org

If that's what you prefer.

FROM: estheim.hope@cdc.org

Well, hopefully it'll be soon then. Limbs don't do terribly after being frozen at least for reattaching purposes.

FROM: dasilva.sharon@cdc.org

Ice, but I think there's a time limit to how long you've got before it's pointless.

[ 9th grade health class taught Sharon a lot of things, including how to save detached fingers and other limbs. She never once thought it would come in handy. ]

FROM: greed@cdc.org

Yeah, I've heard the ice thing a few [hundred] times now. When I find some I'll use it.

FROM: greed@cdc.org

... Think anyone here would be interested in an arm?

You should try Warriorhead, or Armada. I mean, if you don't have some emotional attachment to it, and don't mind it being eaten.

An arm? Really? Do you know who's arm it is?

Nooope.

It's just an arm.

Really? Then why bother trying to preserve it?
