[posted late on 10/6] and so, arm-ageddon begins

[frostythehitman]

Retrospect just chopped my f****** arm off
I woke up this morning with only one arm
My dad's going nuclear and my sister screamed when she saw me
What the hell am I supposed to do now

Before anyone asks no I don't need to go to the hospital I already got it looked at
But consider this a PSA start sleeping with one eye open
In case retrospect comes for you in the middle of the night with a f****** hatchet

Anyway this means A Lyrical Assassination is going on indefinite hiatus
I never got around to finishing it but here's what I managed to put together for the new album before retrospect decided to rip my arm off
Enjoy it because it's the last music I ever made

[ And here is a link to his soundcloud/bandcamp. The album cover is this, and the track listing is here. ]

Did the doctors tell you the nature of the wound? What might have caused its origin, I mean.

[frostythehitman]

It was some kind of traumatic injury but nothing more specific than that
I don't know what that actually means though
What did retrospect do blow my arm up or saw it off

[redarm]

what the fuck.
i knew they added body parts but hacking them off??

[frostythehitman]

Yeah well leave it to retrospect to start tearing us to shreds
Who knows maybe this time next month they'll put me through a literal meat grinder
What do you mean by adding body parts

[lesinset]

sounds like they didnt appreciate your art
what assholes

[frostythehitman]

Sure
Why the hell not
It makes as much sense as any other b******* reason they could ever have for doing this

[godcards]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[frostythehitman]

Get f*****

[cattack]

Are you all right?
Beyond the obvious, I mean.
Is there any lingering pain or phantom feeling?

[frostythehitman]

No
It's fully healed
Healed into a useless ugly stump

[buncho]

left or right

[ also how are you doing now, are you okay, etc etc but she needs something to visualize first ]

[frostythehitman]

What the hell

Left

[covenantal]

[ holy shit.

holy shit!

why does this keep happening???? ]

... would you like company, Bucky?

[frostythehitman]

No
I'm at home
I can't leave the house not while my dad is still freaking out about this

[flowrite]

[Fai doesn't know this guy, but holy shit--]

oh my god, I'm so sorry
I mean, I know a couple of people have lost eyes, but

Do you need anything? have you thought about a prosthetic?

[frostythehitman]

It hasn't even been a day, I've barely thought about anything
But a prosthetic would be the world's s******** consolation prize
shittiest
I hate this speech to text thing

Who the hell lost eyes

[lecturehall]

Absolutely not!

[frostythehitman]

Absolutely not what

[blessmefather]

[ God. First that young lady's eye, now James' arm. How much crueler can Retrospec be? No, don't answer that.

Matt just barely knows James and he's no doctor so there's no obvious thing to say. He can think of great number of things NOT to say. He remembers what made him frustrated when he was in the hospital at ten years old, and how hard it was to tolerate... anything. ]

Did the doctors say anything about prosthetic or physical therapy options?

[frostythehitman]

Yeah
She said I had them

[mr_fancy_car]

If you need to take time off from school, you may do so.

[frostythehitman]

What would be the point
It's not like this is going to get fixed any time soon
So it doesn't make a difference whether I go back to school on Monday or not

[parodeity]

well that shit sucks

weird question but
do you remember not having an arm back then

[frostythehitman]

No but I was expecting to remember losing an arm
I didn't think retrospect would take it a step further and actually chop it off in real life

[playdolls]

They have prosthetics for that.

[ A total lack of sympathy. ]

[frostythehitman]

oh i'm sorry are you an expert on prosthetics

[commandertoolbelt]

now THAT is messed up
are you gonna get a prosthetic or what
aside from that you're okay right??

[frostythehitman]

Oh yeah aside from the tiny matter of my arm being gone I'm just fine
I don't see what else I'm supposed to do except get a prosthetic now
It's not like the arm can get reattached

[reticence]

[He's heard about Retrospec giving people traumatic memories and ridiculous items, but this is entirely new and entirely terrifying a concept to wrap his mind around and the fact that he's talking about his dad... He doesn't know how old the poster is, but he has to be still just a kid.]

I'm sorry. The more I learn about Retrospec the more shit the whole thing seems.

You linked an album. What d'you play?

[frostythehitman]

If you're new here then welcome
Even for retrospect this is an all new low
But they love digging for rock bottom

I play a bit of everything
The whole album except for drums and some extra instruments on a couple tracks is me

[constellates]

!!!!!!
do you know officer togusa
and grell sutcliffe

are you alright
can i help with anything

[she doubts it but there's always the default need to offer???]

[frostythehitman]

Unless you can magically reattach my arm then no

Yeah I know them
Why are you mentioning them

[digthefuzz]

your arm???

holy
no way man

i'm so sorry

[frostythehitman]

[ You're just lucky you're friends with him, Kurt, because if this message came from anyone else he'd be pissed. ]

Yeah
The whole thing all the way up to the shoulder
Because mailing body parts wasn't enough for them I guess

[mercurio]

dude what the hell

[frostythehitman]

i didn't do anything!

[alitaba]

so do you want a sweet guitar arm or an exchangeable parts one.

[frostythehitman]

ha ha very funny

[totallynotanoni]

[ Katherine's blood has literally run cold, and suddenly her horns feel a little lighter on her head. Body alterations are one thing, but this...this is just sick! ]

I am very sorry this happened.
I can't believe that Retrospect would go this far.

[ She has no idea who this kid is, but she has a pretty good idea of what he's going through right now. Waking up without an arm is never a pleasant experience. ]

[frostythehitman]

that was our first mistake
thinking retrospect had any limits at all
if they can steal entire colors why wouldn't they just steal an arm too

[liberal_arts]

-Coming much, much later that day.-

I spoke to the others. You're being released from your contract, and you'll have your payout before the end of the month. It should be plenty to cover any expenses for you, medically, and then some.

I don't know what else to say. I wish I did. So much for being a poet, right?

[frostythehitman]

[ Oh, ouch. Seeing it phrased like that makes it sound like a punishment. Like he's done something wrong.

He knew it would have to happen as a result of the hiatus, but. It hurts. ]

yeah
thanks
some things just aren't meant to be i guess
as far as retrospec is concerned anyway

SLIDES IN LATE WITH STARBUCKS

[livingdeadgirl]

holy shit
are you ok???

[she sends another message right away though-]

sorry that was a stupid question
is there anything i can do to help i mean

[frostythehitman]

depends
can you reattach my arm to my body
