I do find two hands better than just one.

[ercnerd]

So do I.

. . . Unfortunately, it's not something I can share. It's an innate ability exclusive to my blood.

[frostythehitman]

And it won't work if you just sprinkle some on someone or something else?

[ercnerd]

If it were that easy, I would've figured out how to do that by now.

[frostythehitman]

Well damn. Looks like I'm all alone in having no left hand after all.

[ercnerd]

Can't you order a replacement for the one you lost?

[frostythehitman]

What, you think I just get those things from a mail order catalog?

[ercnerd]

Are prostheses that rare where you're from?

[frostythehitman]

The kind that I use? Yeah. They're always custom made.

[ercnerd]

I don't know too much about them.

[For obvious reasons, he doesn't need to think about replacing body parts. He thinks back to how ravenously Qi Rong chowed down on the metal arm.]

He really ate that much, huh . . .

[frostythehitman]

All the way to the elbow. Not much use to it anymore now except if I want a second armpit.

[ercnerd]

Don't you? It'll be useful for holding things.

[frostythehitman]

...we'll see.

[ read: he doesn't want to go around with stuff just shoved into his armpit, that would look very stupid and undignified. but also....carrying two things at once... ]

[ercnerd]

[That didn't seem to stop him when he shoved Virgo there.]

I suppose you will.

[frostythehitman]

Depends on if I can get the smell out of the arm, too. I'm not going to go around smelling like poisoned meat all the time.

[ercnerd]

Why don't you ask Souji? He's always cleaning; he might have an idea.

[frostythehitman]

I'm working on it. I already tried cleaning the arm with him, but either the smell is permanently trapped in there, or it's gonna take a lot more work with way tougher chemicals.

[ercnerd]

Ha . . . It's not even half of an arm, yet it's so troublesome.

[frostythehitman]

Hence why I'm not wearing it. Not worth the trouble for no hand or elbow in return.

[ercnerd]

I guess you'll just have to get used to carrying one thing at a time . . .

[frostythehitman]

Ugh. This is like an evolutionary step backwards.

[ercnerd]

But it doesn't have to stop there. If you can learn to use your feet like hands here, you'll be the most evolutionary ahead out of everyone.

[frostythehitman]

[ stares ]

[ercnerd]

[Smiles serenely.]

No?

[frostythehitman]

No.
