[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. ]

oh i'm sorry are you an expert on prosthetics

[playdolls]

I am in the medical sciences, does that count?


[ They were even more knowledgeable in it than their role as mortician suggested, but they'd found School very tedious and you could get a mortuary science degree in 2 years and start working rather than paying for all of medical school.... ]

[frostythehitman]

are you in the prosthetic medical sciences

[playdolls]

Sometimes. Depends on how badly damaged the body is.

[frostythehitman]

yeah well if you know about damaged bodies then you should know how much it sucks and how much more there is to deal with than "just prosthetics"

[ Not that James really knows either, but screw you, this isn't something that can just be solved with a prosthetic and everything's back to normal. He has to defend his feelings SOMEHOW. ]

[playdolls]

There's a reason they have me in the morgue and not the showroom. My bedside manner has never been my strong suit.

It's hard being a genius and polite, you know.

[frostythehitman]

you realize you don't HAVE to suck at talking to people just because you're a mortician right

[playdolls]

You misunderstand me. Public speaking and client handling are important qualifications to the position. I happened to get lucky and find an internship which preferred me in the morgue, and it became a permanent position.

[frostythehitman]

so what do you work at the city morgue
is there even more than one in the city

[ he actually doesn't know a damn thing about morgues ]

[playdolls]

Yes, there are many morgues in the city. 'The' morgue can have meaning depending on the context. When the ME says it, yes, they likely mean the morgue in the city facility under their jurisdiction. When a doctor says it, they likely mean the one at the hospital they attend at. When I say it, I mean the one at the funeral home where I work.

And it's really just a word for anywhere you store corpses before their final funerary rites are conducted. Interchangeable with mortuary.

Have you learned something for the day?

[frostythehitman]

jeez i just wanted to know if you worked with grell
not a howstuffworks.com of morgues

[playdolls]

Then that's what you should have asked. You made it sound like you needed a vocabulary lesson.

[frostythehitman]

and you still haven't answered the question

[playdolls]

No, but I shadowed her while I was in school.

[frostythehitman]

so what's a mortician know about prosthetics anyway

[ Grell certainly seemed to know a lot, but he thinks maybe that was a one-off. What use is prosthetic knowledge to someone who only handles the dead? ]

[playdolls]

Depends on how badly mangled the body is. So the ones I work with are more cosmetic than anything else, but I also keep apprised to medical research. There are very fancy ones these days.

[frostythehitman]

wait you mean you actually put prosthetics on dead bodies

[playdolls]

It depends on what the clients ask for. And the severity of the damage.

[frostythehitman]

why
what the hell's a corpse gonna do with a prosthetic arm
