Looking for a mechanic capable of fixing a prosthetic arm, altruistic introverts highly preferred, opportunistic assholes also acceptable.

Age irrelevant, but if you're a child I will comment on it.

Helicopter fell on it. Tragic. Many lives lost.

I can't help you if you're gonna be an ass about it, dude.

( but look, he has switched to video so he can show: his two very not connected to his body prosthetics. he opens his hands, closes them tight into fists, opens them again - perfectly functional prosthetics, despite... the bit of space between them and his arms. )

I've got my own, and I've gotten pretty good with 'em over the years.

[ sure okay, he can figure out the video feed. this kid's hands are fascinating. ]

I wasn't lying. [ he points at the screen. ] How do they work? Magnets?

[vexant]

Telekinesis.

[ He lets out a startled, vaguely despairing laugh. Telekinesis, sure, okay, why the hell not? ]

Could you have more?

[vexant]

Yeah? I guess.

( he could have countless hands, but. )

You need like, really fine motor control for hands though, which gets a little harder when you're doing it with a lot of crap at once.

[badlydisarmed]

Just thought it'd be funny to have an extra hand to flip people off with.

[ unfortunately he'd need telekinesis for that. he waves his 2003 prosthetic arm at him. ]

Best my world and time had to offer. Absolute garbage.

[vexant]

Sounds like a you problem.

[badlydisarmed]

Yes, it being a me problem is why I made this post.

I'm no engineer, but I can give you a twenty-first century upgrade. Or as good of one as I can manage.
