[james what the fuck what if you have a physics emergency who you gonna call]

Dr. Lutece.

[frostythehitman]

[ aw shit, it's someone he actually KNOWS. ]

Great. Just great. So you know all about it then, huh?

[originallutece]

I know you were sent an arm a while back. And I went over the arm in question, yes, but purely in a medical sense. I don't know anything more beyond that, however.

[frostythehitman]

YOU SAW IT?

oh my god why

TELL me you haven't told anyone else

[originallutece]

Of course I haven't.

[There's just a moment of hesitation, but--]

She showed me because she wanted a second opinion, and there's not many doctors with the app.

[That's not . . . actually strictly true, but oh well.]

[frostythehitman]

Aren't you a physicist? What does a physicist do with a giant lump of arm?

[originallutece]

More than a layman would. I'm a physicist, but that doesn't mean I haven't studied other kinds of sciences.

[frostythehitman]

Great. So I guess you know all about the lovely murder evidence Retrospec's trying to plant on me.

[originallutece]

Nothing's happened yet, though. Has it? Surely Togusa and the others on the police force will understand.

you asked for this icon, and so ye shall receive

[frostythehitman]

Well. Togusa does, anyway.

But that doesn't mean Retrospec didn't try to start shit.

jesus it's 2001 again

[originallutece]

It is a rather strange package to send someone.

[She wonders, though. She wouldn't put it past Retrospec to try and screw James over, but it seems a bit random. Surely there's some other meaning behind it-- but then again, he had said he remembered being in a war.]

You've not received anything else of that nature?

[frostythehitman]

...what do you mean by "that nature"?

[originallutece]

Gore, limbs, anything dangerous or suspect.

[frostythehitman]

[ well. he was gonna keep on being cagey but honestly, if she already knows about the arm, what's even the point in hiding the rest of it. ]

Yeah, they sent me a gun too. Along with bullets for it.

[originallutece]

Have you used it yet?

[frostythehitman]

No. I don't even know if it still works or not, it could be rusted shut for all I know. It's from like 1940 so it's pretty old.

[originallutece]

You might want to try. Simply for the sake of knowing; given how unpredictable this app is, more knowledge can't hurt.

[frostythehitman]

Are you INSANE? The gun could explode in my face and kill me if I just "try it"!

I need to strip it down to check all the parts first. I just don't remember how to.

[originallutece]

Watch your tone. If you disagree, all you have to do is say that.

[frostythehitman]

I'm not saying I disagree, I'm saying that's UNSAFE. Totally different.

[originallutece]

Surely there must be a guide to stripping it down online.

[frostythehitman]

[ ...would you believe he hadn't actually tried searching that yet

turns out there's literally dozens of documents and steps and videos about it. ]

yeah

well

Who died and made you the expert on field stripping?

[originallutece]

You hadn't thought of it at all, had you.

[frostythehitman]

How was I supposed to know they'd just put information on how to disassemble and reassemble weapons online where anyone can find them?

[ ah, the naivete of someone who's never had to think about these things before. ]

[originallutece]

There's guides to make bombs online, James. There's guides for /everything/.
