yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

Soooo. Crazy then.
Check.

You know they can reattach those right?
Like symbolism or whatever is cool but I'd miss my finger.

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah, but I can live without it. After all, what would a sacrifice be if you didn't lose what you sacrificed?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Did you get anything for it?

[storytelleroftime]

Well, besides dark miasma flooding a room, being chewed out by a self-righteous cat girl, and some level of trauma?

No I got nothing.

[chaoticwhimsy]

So in a grand gesture of sacrifice you lopped off your own pinky!

And for it you got zilch.

That's really sad.

[storytelleroftime]

It is!

These are the sorts of things that in classical mythologies would like, end in me trying to kill the gods and get punished for it.

But there are no gods for me to kill and there is no point in having that resentment.

[chaoticwhimsy]

I think I read some of that last year.
Don't really know any of it though.

I think you probably still get to resent losing your finger for no reason.
Except being stupid.

[storytelleroftime]

...Resentment means I'm holding it against someone. The only person who made a mistake there was me. it was my fault. I cut off my own finger, I'll pay the price and deal with it myself.

I'm not scapegoating anyone for it.

[chaoticwhimsy]

If you say so.

Is it weird not having a pinky?

[storytelleroftime]

Yes. You never realize how much you use your pinky for things until you don't have it.

Also, three words. Nine fingered typing.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Ew.
I mostly just use my phone though

Maybe someone can give you a new one.

[storytelleroftime]

People have mentioned prosthetic fingers as an option. I'm not sure if that's what you are implying though...

[chaoticwhimsy]

Well people here are getting strange and wonderful magic powers right?

In stories there's all kinds of crazy healing magic.

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah... I had a healer on my team.

He couldn't re-create a missing finger.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Did somebody at least pick it up?

[storytelleroftime]

Yes. Someone did.

Then handed it to me. In my injured hand. Three guesses as to how that turned out.

[chaoticwhimsy]

You dropped it.

Then picked it up again.

Because it's your finger.

[storytelleroftime]

I dropped it.

Right before I got on a teleporter thing.

That teleported me out of there before I could retrieve it.

[And she totally didn't do that intentionally nope not at all.]

[chaoticwhimsy]

...You deserved to lose your finger didn't you.

[storytelleroftime]

...If you want an honest answer?

Yeah.

I did.

[chaoticwhimsy]

I still would'a tried to keep it if it were me.
No matter what kinda crappy thing I did.

[storytelleroftime]

I cut off my finger because I hadn't done any good deeds.

Yet, ultimately, I don't think I have done anything particularly evil either.

I have just been an inconsequential person in the grand scheme of reality.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Sounds like you're pretty much just everybody

[storytelleroftime]

Exactly! I can't be satisfied with that!

[chaoticwhimsy]

Most people are never going to be anything but boring
No matter what they want

Sure it's kind of lame
But it's not bad
