…Hi.

( God this is so much more advanced than anything she's ever dealt with before, but after a lot of fumbling Clem seems to have figured out how to show herself to the world. Dangerous thing, that, or it would be if she weren't in this wild ass place. )

I'm not sure who can see this, but I have a favor to ask. ( An embarrassing one, if the way her cheeks tinge pink and she glances off to the side for a second to compose herself is any indication. Clem holds up what looks like a wooden paddle that was once connected to a thin, curved piece of wood that she holds in her other hand. ) I came in kind of... rough and broke my leg. My fake leg. Uh. You get it. ( please get it??? )

I'd just tape it up or something but it miiiiiight be a little past that point. I can pay you back if you help me out - I saw those quests, so I can get you the coins once I'm not hopping everywhere.

Thanks.

Bye...? ( oK BYE. )

[Fake leg? That? Al makes some kind of echo-y sound to himself before he responds quickly.]

Hello! I might know someone! Her name is Winry Rockbell and she made my brother's automail! I bet she could help you too! Using wood can't be good...

[No wonder it broke!]

[burymedeep]

( wow check your privilege Alphonse?? Also, is that a whole ass suit of armor you're wearing???

Give her like. Thirty seconds, chief. )

We didn't really have a lot of other options. What's automail?

[bloodseals]

[whAT PRIVILEGE?]

Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. [He ducks his head a little, the motion sheepish.]

But ummm, it's a kind of prosthetic! It requires surgery and recovery time though. Your nerves are hooked up to the prosthetic so it moves the same way your other leg would, after you practice with it!

My brother would know more about that part, and Winry too.

[burymedeep]

( YOUR COOL METAL LIMB PrIVILEGE GOD. )

It's fine, don't worry about it. ( She shrugs, then fully hones in on what he says next, her eyes wide. )

Seriously? That's... ( unreal. ) wow. Would your friend really be willing to do that? Seems like a lot of work, and I'm going to owe them a lot of those moon coins.

[ —well, shit. Not as alarmed as he'd be if you were eight, Clem, but still having a Concern over here. ]

Where are you?

[ ...also tfw you remember that Winter Powers will eventually let you repair things??? What??????? Honestly. ]

[burymedeep]

( Instinct really wants to kick in here and not tell this random man where she is while she's in such a vulnerable position. Then she remembers she's the one that made it a thing so obviously people are going to be concerned.

Also, she has guns so. It's fine. )

On a bench near the Autumn guild.

[at_heart]

[ While he doesn't know exactly what's going through her head, the hesitation does — give Yuri some visible pause. ]

Right. Do you know how to open your map? I can send you a pin, show you where the research center is. They can definitely help you out.

[ See, the concern overrode everything else, but. It's not his first day on Planet Earth, he's almost six feet tall, he's accidentally intimidated and made people nervous before. ]

[burymedeep]

I can figure it out. ( Clem was smart and observant - she had been watching to see how other people operated the phone while she meandered around - and when she ultimately fucked up her leg and had no other choice but to people watch and dick around with the device.)

I got a guy coming to fit a spare one on me. Do you think the research center could do better? ( this legendary winry lady apparently works wonders, but she'll have to make do before she gets something as cool as automail.)

[forgingfires]

[Welcome to a video of a guy with pointed ears and what definitely looks more like fangs than normal canines. And the absolutely affronted expression.]

You're seriously walking around with THAT as a prosthetic? What sort of backwaters world do you come from that they let people walk around with that?!

It is definitely past that. I can do better anyway in an hour than whatever that is.

[burymedeep]

A world where the dead don't stay dead and everything is on fire. My bad for not getting some fancy, diamond encrusted leg when mine got hacked open. ( rude. Clem huffs. )

Don't go out of your way or anything.

[forgingfires]

What kind of dead don't stay dead and how literal is the fire?

And I was speaking of metal. You know, something that won't rot with time as soon as the finish gets too damaged. Or get burned in this maybe literal fire.

You want a leg today or not?

[burymedeep]

The walking dead and it really depends on where you go. A lot of shit is on fire these days.

( clem sighs. )

Yeah, sorry. How much do you want for it?

un: douglass

[privateeyed]

Yeah, uh, that that leg is kind of fucked. I can put together something so you can at least hobble around for now.

[never did he think all the fucking around he does with his arm and mods would come in handy like this]

[burymedeep]

I hadn't noticed. ( She sighs. Don't sass the dude offering to help, maybe. It's been a rough life day ok. )

Sorry. Thanks- what do you want for it?

[privateeyed]

Should get your eyes checked, then. [sass is fine, here's some back]

It can be an IOU until I think of something.

[burymedeep]

( She snorts. Fair play. )

Great. That's not ominous or anything.

[mysophobic]

I know a lot of people have offered to fix that prosthetic for you...but if you ever want I can actually remake your leg again. [ That's a lot to take in so he pauses for a few moments before sending another text. ]

If it's ever something you want to consider, of course!

[burymedeep]

( He's right, that is a lot to take in, and she's grateful for the few moments she has to try and process it before she has to reply. )

How does that work?

[mysophobic]

Well! It would take me a couple of months to do, but I essentially can just remake all the bones, muscle, nerve, and skin that make up your leg.

[ He's trying to not be too graphic?! ] It's a pretty standard procedure for us doctors back home. But I know it's a lot to really think about so there's no pressure to go through with it.

But just know that the offer is always there.

video / un: talaria

[demiflora]

Oh! I can make you a new one? ...A, uh, more detailed one?

[ Iris has done this before, and seems happy enough about it. ]

You don't have to pay me, either.

[burymedeep]

( She's not complaining, but why can like half the people here make awesome prosthetics?? Jealous. )

I've got a few offers already, but given my luck I wouldn't say no to a backup or two.

I don't like owing people things, so maybe we can figure something out, even if you don't want the moon coins or whatever.

[demiflora]

I honestly just like making things? But I wouldn't turn down art supplies. The way I make things involves drawing them. So...the design, how it looks, can be pretty up to you.

un: deku

[fullgauntlet]

[Oh, that's not good. Izuku frowns at the video posting and feels this overwhelming urge to somehow help her.]

If you need help paying for a replacement I can give you what it costs. There isn't much else I need the money for right now that it'll be important for you to get a replacement as soon as you can...!

[He smiles but there is that concern on his face!]

In the meantime, do you need any other help? I could help you get whatever you need and deliver it to you too.

[burymedeep]

( Clem could cry. Everyone was so nice it was actually difficult to believe this wasn't some fever dream and she would wake up soon to find the world as bleak and miserable as it had always been. )

That's really sweet of you to offer, but I actually had a guy come and gave me a temporary replacement, so I should be able to start doing those quests to cover it. If you want to come and join me on some, I won't say no. ( Normally she'd just go it alone, but having backup just in case wouldn't hurt, if he was interested. )

I don't need anything really. Although... do you know much about these phones? I kind of figured out the basics, but there's so much stuff on here I don't really get.

[fullgauntlet]

That's great to hear. I'd be more than happy to help you out on quests if you need a partner too. Some of them deal with monsters and it can be dangerous to go on your own. But I can take on a fight or two with no issues.

[It's admirable to hear that she wants to work on her own quests to take care of things. He thinks he'd be the same way in her position.]

Ah... Yeah! I do know smartphones pretty well too! I used to keep gacha games on my phone all the time. These ones aren't that much different. If you haven't used phones like these before I can show you how to use apps and text messages?
