-Don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh DON'T LAUGH-

You uh... okay there, sis?

[longwei2go]

No, I'm fucking pissed! Ow! [ the red eyes go good with the bloody nose. she doesn't even realize right away that she's wiping it away with metal fingers. ]

[me_matey]

-Actually, it takes May a second, too, but when she does, her eyes go wide.-

Bruh... your fingers...

[longwei2go]

What about....? [ she doesn't even finish the sentence. one quick glance down shows the white tips coated in fresh blood and it's enough to make her jerk back in the seat as if she could get away from it.

oh, and now she's shaking. ] Dude, the — how the fuck? It's ... it's just...

[ Yin stared at the hand stretched out from her body as far as possible and watches the fingers open and close with that same, gentle mechanical sound. the joints glide smoothly and flex almost as if they were her own. if she was double-jointed, maybe.

she's less afraid now than a couple of seconds ago. Yin was in awe. ] Holy fucking shit.

[me_matey]

Hold up, hold up, uh... -May held up her own hand.- See if you can imitate my hand.

-She formed the "2sweet".-

[longwei2go]

[ Yin looked back and forth between the fingers and May's hand. after a second she formed a simple pair of horns — even gave her wrist a little flick. ] Wait...

[ a second later, she perfectly imitated the gesture. ] Hah! Shit. I can't believe this. I thought it'd be... harder than this.

[me_matey]

This is nutso! -May pushed her hand to Yin's new one- Too sweet, fam, too sweet! That's... wow...

I mean, I still have a fuckton of questions, but this shit works better than anything I've seen.

[longwei2go]

...you just got blood on your hands, shorty. Gross. [ even if she says that, she's laughing. until she gets a trickle on her lips that leaves her grimacing. ]

Ugh. You can ask what you want if you get me a tissue.

[me_matey]

-May hopped up to grab a roll of paper towels. Not fine tissue, but it'd work in a pinch.-

I don't think I'm smart enough to even ask any of them. Like "How" and "Why".

[longwei2go]

That makes two of us. I get the basics, but it's a little too sci-fi for me. [ Yin starts dabbing herself dry and then plugs two wads up her nose with a wince. ]

Ugh. I hope they're happy with the bruise I'm gonna have in the morning. Fuck.

[me_matey]

This is way too far out.

... How does it feel?

[longwei2go]

It's... different. [ she twists and turns her hand in the air, marveling at the way the wrist socket twists despite it being a bit jerky. ] Like. I read about the way some arms you can move by flexing your muscles in a specific way. That takes a shitton of patience and training and I'm just... doing this. Naturally.

[me_matey]

Is there any, like... sensation?

[longwei2go]

Not. Exactly.

[ Yin pulls her mechanical thumb back until she physically can't anymore, then pushes it against her thigh. ] Like, I can tell this is as far as my finger bends. And there's... pressure.

[ she tries to bend the knuckle into an uncomfortable position but it stubbornly resists. ] No pain. Good.

[me_matey]

I dunno. Pain's usually a sign you're doin' somethin stupid, and if there's no sign of that...

Then again, this thing is pretty hardy. Wanna put it up to a stress test?

[longwei2go]

Why d'you think I asked about the crowbar? [ now she's grinning. ]

[me_matey]

You could just try to arm-wrassle me, too.

[longwei2go]

...nah. Even if this shit is unobtanium or whatever, you can still dislocate my shoulder without trying. Like. If you don't rip my stump out of the socket first.

[me_matey]

No fun at all. Alright, alright, lemme dig up that crowbar... -May hopped up from her seat and started digging through a pile of junk near the cabinet.-

[longwei2go]

[ meanwhile, Yin continues to play around with the new appendage. opening and closing her fingers, raising and lowering and twisting things around to test the elbow's flexibility and response. ]

You know, I was thinking this could have had something to do with the hallucinations but... I've got both my arms in all those. And shotgun fists on my hands. [ she holds the palm near her face. ] I can't see where this thing would shoot from so that's not it.

[me_matey]

The fuck? Shotgun fists? -May perked up from her digging.-

[longwei2go]

...what, I didn't tell you about beating up those gangster thugs in the club? [ she is pretty sure everyone's heard the story by now. ]

[me_matey]

If you told me, I forgot. I've been busy with teenagers that have too much money all damn month, you gotta let me in on these fist things, man.

[longwei2go]

Right, right.


Well... it's like I said, these guys were fucking with me in a club so I showed 'em the floor. They were all dressed up the same. Black suits, white shirts, red ties and cheap sunglasses. When I punched one, it'd like blast 'em but. No blood. [ shrug. ] Don't ask me how I didn't paint the whole place red, but I'm pretty sure I set something on fire.

[me_matey]

Aw shit, fam, you sound like a John Woo badass! Also, catch! -May found the crooked crowbar, lightly tossing it towards Yin's lap. Probably not the smartest idea...-
