[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. ]

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

[redarm]

hope not.
oh. they gave me an arm.

[a beat]

not yours.

[frostythehitman]

Obviously not mine they already gave me my own damn arm
Did they send it in a box to you too

[ He had been keeping it a secret but what's even the point any more ]

[redarm]

no i woke up with an arm attached.
like they did fucking surgery on me in my sleep.

the fuck they sent you an arm in a box??

[frostythehitman]

Great then that makes two of us they operated on in our sleep
Except you at least got an arm out of the deal and I just got a stump

Yeah they sent me my own detached arm in a box a few months ago
I thought they were trying to frame me for murder but it turns out they just wanted to show me what I don't get to have any more

[redarm]

id take my stump back if i could.
having two arm has some perks but
dealing with a prosthetic is easier than a creepy demon arm.

holy fuck
thats really fucked up.
do you still have it? fuck.

[frostythehitman]

Fine then send retrospect a petition to swap it around for us
I'll take a demon arm any day of the week
Anything is better than having nothing and being able to do nothing
Not like they'd do anything about it anyway if we did send them a petition they don't care

Yeah I have it
It's in some freezer right now like a hunk of meat

[redarm]

"Anything is better than having nothing and being able to do nothing"?
oh shut the fuck up with the pity party.
theres lots of shit you can do.

[frostythehitman]

I can't write
I can't play guitar
I can't even type on my phone without screwing up every word like 50 times
And yeah before you even say it I know I can learn how to do some of this stuff but how long is that going to take
I shouldn't even have to relearn how to do anything in the first place if it wasn't for retrospect deciding to do a maim and run on me
This is b*******

[redarm]

life is bullshit.
even without retrospec fucking with you.

whatever
i can give you the number of a good prosthetist
they dont know about retrospec, but they know their shit.

[frostythehitman]

[ James knows he's right. But somehow, knowing that life is bullshit offers him no comfort here. ]

Okay fine
Can't hurt to have it
I'm going to need one eventually right

[ Even though the idea of prosthetics--and that suddenly, they are relevant to his life--makes him want to cry and/or punch through the wall. ]

[redarm]

yeah
when youre ready

[He's not surprised James probably needs awhile. He's just not the best person to hear it. Not when he lived his whole life without an arm, until recently. But he'll send him the info. It's an NPC specialist in Recolle]

theres some really good one these days
can give the middle finger to people and everything.

[frostythehitman]

Great
Maybe I'll get that one as a spare just so I can swing it like a baseball bat at retrospect employees

[redarm]

uh
or you could just get a baseball bat for that
prosthetics are expensive.

[frostythehitman]

baseball bats don't have the symbolism of knocking someone out with a middle finger

[redarm]

true.
unless you get someone to woodcarve a bat.

[frostythehitman]

A bat would work too. You know any bat carvers?

[redarm]

some guys in the circus?
but not here.
wouldnt be surprised if someone on here has that skill though.
theres a lot of fucking random skills on here.

[frostythehitman]

You know what
I could probably get some guy in woodshop at school to do it
There's always that one guy in every woodshop class who's secretly some kind of master woodworker

[redarm]

oh yeah
i hate that guy
he makes everyone else look so shitty.

[frostythehitman]

Not doing so hot in woodshop I take it

[redarm]

hey my shelf is fucking sturdy!!
it just doesnt NEED fancy carving decorations.

[frostythehitman]

yeah well tough luck
fancy decorations are 25% of your grade

[redarm]

uuugh!!
fuck it ill just carve a fucking flower or something.

[frostythehitman]

"just"
do you actually know how to do even do that
