002 - Octopus's Garden In the Shade
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[Today on the hot mess that is Retrospec, somebody's either fallen asleep on their keyboard or allowed their cat to play with the computer for too long, 'cause there's a solid string of this for about a minute straight.]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Garfield Logan added 3 new photos - in Huntington Avenue, Recollé
2 mins
[The first photo is a blurry image of Gar screaming, with only his head and upper chest visible. Something long and twisty is visible at the edge of the frame.
The second is a slightly less blurry image of a... realistic-looking octopus tentacle, for some reason.
The last is an image of Gar's bare chest underneath a ripped shirt, which no one ever really wanted to see, but we're all being traumatized today so just go with it. Everything looks normal up until the part where his shoulder attaches to the octopus tentacle in the previous picture.
It's kinda gross.]

[ Once Gar is seated, he begins going through the process, explaining as he goes, because if Gar's going to have to use this long-term, he might as well know. Put a man's sweater on, he's dressed for a day. Teach a man to put a sweater on, he's dressed for a lifetime.
He drapes the sweater on Gar's lap, then positions it so that the bottom edge is opened and the sleeve for the prosthetic is exposed in a straight drop to the floor. ]
Now just put the arm through, pull it up to your shoulder, put your other arm through, then pull it the rest of the way on like any other sweater.

Uh...
[Gar attempts to follow instructions, and is gratified to find that it's less cumbersome than he had anticipated. The fact that he still has an arm - albeit a bug arm - helps with the dexterity bit.
He pulls the hoodie down and pulls the sleeve down over the fake hand. He glances up at the mirror affixed on the door.]
Yeah... yeah, I think this is gonna work!
And if it like, keeps changing randomly, I can stick with it a little while longer.
[a faint pause]
Hey.
...If I've got a superpower, does that mean I can be a superhero?

Uh, yeah, duh. That's like, what they're for.

[He grins brightly for a moment or two, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.]
This might actually be kinda c --
[From outside his door, a woman's voice calls up -- 'Garfield...']
Oh crap.
Out the window, dude!
no subject
Good luck, man.
[ James leaps out the open window in one smooth motion. He lands in a quiet somersault and immediately takes off in a sprint down the block. ]
