[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. ]

It could be either. Best to give it time. Hopefully that won't be the case.
How is the rest of your family holding up? Your sister?

[frostythehitman]

she screamed
i think looking at me is freaking her out

[blessmefather]

[ Matt frowns down at his desk. Fear might be the worst reaction you can get from others after your body was changed against your will. Thankfully rare. James' sister was shocked, to be fair. Context doesn't prevent the stab in your chest when their reaction hits you though. ]

If you're frustrated with her that's understandable. You'll both calm down later but if you feel some kind of anger over her reaction it's better to acknowledge now. Just obviously don't take it out on her. On that note have you found a way to blow off some steam?

[frostythehitman]

[ He's not even frustrated with her in the first place. He just feels bad, like some kind of grotesque horror movie monster. ]

no
fun fact i used to have ways to blow off steam
but they all involved me using my left hand
so fuck me i guess

[blessmefather]

[ Using his remaining limbs might just highlight the fact one is missing. So that leaves... ]

It's one of the more embarrassing options but it worked while I was in the hospital: burying your face in something and screaming.

[frostythehitman]

fuck screaming
i wanna hit something

[blessmefather]

Have access to a punching bag?

[frostythehitman]

just the tackle dummy
coach doesn't let me punch those anymore after last time though

[blessmefather]

Last time?

There are more than enough punching bags at the gym I go to. I think I could talk the owner into letting you in. Sometimes I slip him a little extra money and go in after hours to avoid the ego maniacs who like to hang out in that part of the building. That's also an option if you would rather fewer people be around when you let off steam.

[ There is that chance of screaming AND hitting things at the same time. ]

[frostythehitman]

i hit it too hard during drills last year
practically snapped it in two
coach keeps a close eye on me now whenever i'm using it now

[ god, will he even still be allowed to play on the football team? His mood tanks and he's not sure if he wants to cry or reduce his door to splinters. ]

i don't have any money to pay a gym owner off with
so thanks but no thanks

[blessmefather]

[ Damn James. That's a lot of power you have. That can be a good thing if you control it. ]

I was thinking more along the lines of you meeting me there when I've paid the owner off. It's not like I need all the punching bags at once. You might has well use one. I can wrap your wrist if you don't know how so you can go all out.

[frostythehitman]

[ "wrap your wrist." Singular. God, how messed up has his life become. ]

fine
sure
whatever
i guess

[blessmefather]

I'll send you the address and the next time I plan to go.

[ ooc: Should we hand wave that they did meet at the gym at least once? ]
