Uh, hey there. Name's Lee. I'd appreciate some help - or advice.

I've been without my left arm for a few months now - I lost it back home just before I got here. [A pause. Admittedly it wasn't so much losing it, as telling his friend to saw it off. It had seemed a good idea at the time... but anyway.] And, uh, Joel offered this -

[He holds up the robotic arm strapped at his left elbow.]

But I don't have any shadow control to move it by myself. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to work something out some other way? Operation might be a bit complex, but... well, with the amount of, uh "magic" and shit around here, I thought there might be something someone could do...

So... yeah. If there's anyone here with any knowledge of this kinda thing who might wanna help, I'd really owe you one.

I would help myself. But I think the person with the arm needs to be the one with shadow control to use it properly. If we could modify it or figure out a new one.....

[Clementine is more concerned over helping with the arm to pay much mind to his swearing anymore like she might have previously. Lee can't fight properly like that, and Clementine is damned if she will let that cause him to get hurt or killed here. Not when his getting bit was because he was looking for her.]

[sofucked]

Yeah, I don't think it'd work like that. We'll have to find another way.

[He smiles. He can tell she's concerned, and he doesn't want her to think the lack of arm bothers him too much. They'll find something.]

Don't worry. The amount of stuff that goes on around here, it shouldn't be too hard to figure something out.

I hope we can figure out some way to fix it. This arm is at least something, but we need to figure out how to make it work for you still. Even if I tried to make one with shadow control I'm not sure that would be enough. But someone here should be able to work out something for you. The Doctor's smart.

[That arm is a daily reminder of it all. Of Lee's fate. Evidence of his having gotten bit while looking for her. Clementine will always feel some degree of guilt over that, no matter how much he might try to reassure her. But she doesn't show it. Focusing on trying to help somehow. Suggest people that might be able to help.]

[sofucked]

Yeah, one of them - the Doctors - [There's so many, but he's fairly sure that's one of them.] he offered to help.

Either way, we'll work something out. People had prosthetics back home before the world went to sh- uh, before the walker outbreak. It's not impossible. And with all the smart people and magic here? There's gotta be something we can use.

[littlesurvivor]

That's not surprising. Helping people and a new project for him. Which one -- oh. Scarf.

But yeah. With people from such different worlds and times and these powers....there has to be some way we can figure something out. And Lee? Swearing isn't anything new? You know I'm friends with Ellie.

[Not to mention Kenny.]

might be able to help

[All right, so his arm is a lot more advanced than that and doesn't really need shadow control to be moved, but he figures he might as well try to give some aid. It's something he has some experience in, after all.]

[text; private]

[sofucked]

Yeah? Pretty open anything right now. What did you have in mind?

[snowstormed]

[For a few brief seconds, the feed switches to video, but he makes sure to keep it focused on the arm--specifically, the sleek metal fingers wiggling a little. Then the feed flips back to text:]

you'll need a really good mechanic. and a doctor [preferably non-HYDRA personnel.]

barring that, I have Shadow Control

[allpurposescarf]

It's not entirely the sort of thing I've worked with before. But if you don't get any better offers, I'd be willing to see what I could do.

[video]

[sofucked]

Yeah? I'd appreciate it. What kind of thing d'you think you could do?

[video]

[allpurposescarf]

That's just the thing! I'd have to see what I'm working with, first. Otherwise I might end up trying something that isn't going to work.

[video]

[sofucked]

Fair enough. I could meet with you then, give you a chance to look at it?

[video]

[allpurposescarf]

That would certainly help. And I'd be glad for a meeting, besides.

[omittance]

Good luck.

[sofucked]

Heh. Appreciate it. This too.

[He holds up the arm.]

[omittance]

Sure. Let's see if you can get it workin', yeah?

video.

[sofucked]

Yeah, I'll try. The arm itself gets me halfway there.

Let me know if you know anyone who might help with something like this?

[windbreak]

Too bad there's no such thing as a moving-arm dog, huh? [He grins, not entirely unsympathetically - sure, he's still in one piece, but he does have his own right arm folded over a sling for now.] Umm, I don't really know about this stuff, but... is there some way you can make it so you can magic it up yourself?

Re: video

[sofucked]

[That joke gets a short laugh from Lee, and he nods.]

Not really. Only magic I've got is Fire Magic, and not very strong either. Not really useful here.

[windbreak]

For real? Guess that's a downside to getting one of the flashy ones, huh... Unless you could figure out how to make it all steampunk or something.

In that case... what about asking at the hospital? They're super busy lately, but the people all seem pretty cool.

[sofucked]

Heh. That'd look pretty good, but probably not so doable.

Hospital... It's worth a shot I guess. If no one has any ideas around here, I'll head over there.

[sheloves]

Hello, Lee. [Ril waves a little.] I can take a look at the rune magic we have and see if there's a way.

[sofucked]

Really? I'd appreciate that, thanks.

[sheloves]

Most welcome. If there isn't anything on the books, I'll keep working on experimenting with something that I hope will help. I always did love research.

[Ril offers a grin.]

[sofucked]

That's a pretty good idea. Think you'll need me to come over, so you can get a better look at the arm?
