Who: Maedhros & You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: August 27th

I do not know who this might effect, but I thought it polite to inform you that I am now part of the Huntress's crew. (He had been aboard the S.S. Bishop before.) Furthermore, I have informed myself on what might be possible for...something I lack.

Those who have knowledge of mechanics - particularly where artificial limbs are concerned - are of great interest to me. My name is Maedhros or Maitimo and I wish to speak to you at your earliest convenience.

{Fingon smiles fondly at Maedhros.}

I am sure you will find someone who can help.

(The support of his family means much to him and he smiles.)

A mechanical hand would make my duties simpler.

[valiantfire]

{Maedhros deserves support!}

As long as you let me keep helping with your hair. {A playful tease.}

I do not want to imagine tangling my new fingers in my hair, so yes! I will still need your aid.

(He grins.)

I would lie to you regardless, Finno. We both know I like seeing you in the morning.

[Sup, it's a very maroon-skinned guy with a yellow jewel set in his forehead who speaks in a calm and cultured voice.]

I've been working on a prosthetic arm with Hiro Hamada of the Bishop and several others, and I've performed some maintenance on a prosthetic leg as well. None of us are what I'd consider experts, but we're certainly willing to help.

What do you need from me? I do not mind helping in such a project - for obvious reasons! (Since he will benefit greatly.) I thank you and those involved for your kindness.

We'd need a medical expert to examine the missing limb, if there is anyone in particular you'd prefer. It would also be helpful to know anything nonstandard about your biology, as we'd want to use medication when we attach it. Other than that, standard measurements and any other particulars you wish to include would be helpful.

Is there one aboard the Bishop? If not, I shall search for one on the Huntress. (He tilts his head.) I am...very tall. Taller than most Men. My body is well-shaped; there is naught out of proportion. My mother is a sculptor, you see, and she noted that long ago.

[sup, it's your former shipmate.]

I'm starting to think Hiro should turn this into a business. How many artificial limbs have we made, now? I've lost count.

Regardless, I think he would be able to help, and if he is too busy, then someone else can shoulder the majority of the design.

(Hi, there.)

I think it would be a lucrative venture for him. (His brows rise in amusement.) They are much needed - and desired - by those of us who are missing something.

Thank you.

[arcanepower]

[He doesn't look directly at the camera.] You do not seem incomplete to me, and I think Hiro would agree. It's simply that you need a certain tool. There is nothing-- absolutely nothing-- wrong with that.

[castintoflames]

(He blinks at the...very kind and very thoughtful words. It's not often he is a recipient of such and he isn't sure what to do with it.)

...thank you. I...like the way you think.

[ have a green girl clearly at a library circulation desk and keeping her voice down. maybe she should have just texted. ]

I'd be useless building a prosthetic, but some of my training in my home universe was on attaching and helping people adjust to artificial limbs. When you find someone to build it for you, I can pitch in there if need be.

[castintoflames]

(What a lovely shade.)

I do not wish to inconvenience you, lady, but I know I will not adapt to such a...creation...over night. (As stubborn as he is, he will need help.)

[ontrial]

Very few people do, so there's no shame in that. It certainly won't be an inconvenince to help with meditation and some rehabilitation though, I assure you. I'm hardly stretched thin as a healer here.

[ it's almost like people in a galaxy with laser swords are bad for having limbs chopped off. she's used to so much worse than she's seeing here. ]

[castintoflames]

Then you have my utmost gratitude. (Gratitude beyond words, truly.) The wound itself was caused by a sword. I owe my life to the one who wielded it, so I do not look on the wound with anger or bitterness. I merely become frustrated when it impedes me from doing as I wish.

I know that there's a prosthetics think tank being set up to work on someone's arm. One of the guys who's part of that project seemed willing to talk about my leg situation, too. I can't promise it's an open-to-all-comers deal, but I can try to point him your way, if you want?

[Eugene hates to volunteer people to do things without their say-so, but it had seemed like a pretty open-ended offer.]

[castintoflames]

I would be honored to attend such a meeting. (Honored and intrigued.) Where would it be held?

[faithfulwisdom]

You are always welcome aboard the Bishop, cousin, crew member or no. I see that you have already been pointed to Hiro; I know little of artificial limbs, but the lad is a mechanical genius. You would enjoy speaking with him, I think.

Video

[castintoflames]

I thank you for your generosity. (It isn't something he takes for granted.) I shall do my best to befriend him. The idea of possessing such a limb interests me very much.

[faithfulwisdom]

You needn't thank me for that. [Really. It's just... him.]

It is something of a wonder, is it not? There is much possible here of which I would not have even dreamed in Arda.

[castintoflames]

(Which speaks in and of itself, truly.) I want to and I think you deserve it.

I cannot put what I see or feel into words. I feel it would take me a lifetime to discover all that so many races have contrived.

action, duh

[bythewaves]

You did not have to, Nelyo...

action <3

[castintoflames]

I wanted to. (Get ready for a hug, Maglor.)

<3

[bythewaves]

[ he is happy to accept that hug! ]

Thank you. [ he says shyly ] Have you found your room yet?
