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

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

[ The fact that he's coming off calm in text is both obscene and reassuring. Because really, the whole day has been an emotional roller coaster, and he's writing replies to this in between screaming matches with his dad and lying face down on his pillow, hoping that maybe if he just smothers himself until he passes out, he'll wake up with his arm again.

He wants to destroy Retrospec, reduce the entire building and everyone in it to rubble. He wants to give up and resign himself to whatever miserable fate is in store for him. And what Mafuyu's offering is simultaneously not enough, but also too much for him right now. He wants to do all of it, and then some, but also none of it. But how do you even begin to say that? ]

Trick or treating as what?

[buncho]

what do you mean as what? as friends, i dunno

[frostythehitman]

I meant what costumes

[ GET WITH THE PROGRAM MAFUYU ]

[buncho]

[ she thought he needed affirmation of friendship after this entire mess, geez!! ]

im going as a rabbit pirate ninja knight
wanna go as a matching set or do you have your own costume?

[frostythehitman]

I don't
I haven't gone trick or treating since I was like twelve

[buncho]

didnt you get something from retrospec you can wear?

[frostythehitman]

Yeah but I don't think it qualifies for a Halloween costume if I wear it all the time anyway
Except for the red bits that is

[buncho]

then wear the red bits
bam problem solved

[frostythehitman]

[ Well he'd look exceedingly stupid but that should be okay on Halloween, right? Except, of course... ]

What am I supposed to do with the empty sleeve and extra glove

[buncho]

fill it with candy! you have a ready made bag, you dont even have to carry one!

[frostythehitman]

The point is for people to stare at the costume, not a glove that's pointless for anything except candy

[ James doesn't consider himself the self-conscious type, but even he's not comfortable with his lack of arm yet. Forget about fielding other people's stares, no matter how cleverly he presents it. ]

[buncho]

no ones going to stare at the glove! if someone does, just slap the in the face with it and challenge them to a duel

you can wear my rabbit mask if you want

[frostythehitman]

Fine, I'll do it. But only with a cape.

[ At least with a cape he can mostly hide under it. If anyone stares, it'd be at the stupid costume and not the lack of an arm. ]

[buncho]

the original uniforms supposed to be a skirt but i dont own one so a cape it is! ill get you one in nice bright red

[frostythehitman]

One of the long floor-length types
Don't skimp out on me and get one of those capes that doesn't even cover the full length of your shirt

[buncho]

who do you take me for? ill get you one so long, youll have to run everywhere just to keep it off the ground and billowing behind you!

[frostythehitman]

Fine
I'll make it work
You got yourself a deal
