[When Cyril starts the video he seems to be checking that it's really working before he speaks. Once he does, he smiles at the camera.]

Look at what I found.

[And he changes the angle carefully to show off a display of cybernetic arms and legs. They're all meant as medical prosthetics and he seems utterly thrilled by the whole concept of them. When he brings the view back to himself it's clear why. He's missing one of his arms from the elbow down.]

I've been speaking with the doctor here and they work almost entirely like a real arm. I may even regain some kind of sensation in the fingers.

In order to get one, however, I do need more Chroma. So here I am, seeking volunteers willing to help me. Every little bit will help so even if all you can offer is a handshake or a hug, I'd be more than happy to partake. Though, if you're willing to do even more than that, I'm also always willing to indulge in a bit of physical intimacy. I admit a preference for men, but I've been curious to experiment.

If you would like to help, I will meet you wherever you are most comfortable. Contact me here and we can work it out.

Thank you for your consideration! Hopefully, I'll be able to have enough soon.

You know you can always count on me for a little physical intimacy.

[Actual winking.]

[samahl]

Klaus! If you hadn't replied, I would have messaged you directly.

Meet me at my place?

[garb4ge]

Ah, but this way the rest of the world gets to see how truly selfless I am. I should be grateful for the free PR.

Be there in a flash.

[samahl]

I appreciate the thoughtful sacrifice.

I need to head there too, so I will see you soon.

[garb4ge]

I'm sure I can keep myself occupied until you get there.

[Let's hope he keeps it ... vaguely appropriate until you get there, Cy.]

[samahl]

[Cyril is on his way back now as he talks to Klaus.]

Not too occupied, I hope. The point is to save some for me.

[spah]

I remember seein' those around. Not bad lookin'. I'd offer to give ya a hand and install it for ya--

[He holds his hand up, showing his own prosthetic, to explain.]

--but I ain't nearly as familiar with 'em as the doctors here yet. Hope ya get one soon, though.

[samahl]

[He chuckles at the pun because that sort of humor is just always going to be funny to him.]

Oh, and this is the part where I mention I'd be willing to earn Chroma with you even if I didn't have a specific fund in mind.

[spah]

I'm... still gettin' a handle on the "touching people for money" thing. But if ya ever want your new arm upgraded in the future, lemme know.

[... And, after a pause:]

Handshakes I can do, though.

[samahl]

I like handshakes! I may even be tempted into a 'high five.'

[spah]

Heh. I could be convinced into a high five.

Could probably show you how my hand works while I'm at it, if y'need an idea.

[dioscorea]

Ah, those look really cool! I--

Oh! I remember you from the moon!

[samahl]

Oh! Yes! Hello!

How are you fitting into the city?

[dioscorea]

Pretty well, I think! It's strange not having a master here, but I'm thinking about getting a job or something like that.

How about you? Are you feeling better after... all of that? [The hallucinations and such.]

[samahl]

A... master? [Sorry, that distracts him enough that he doesn't answer the question right away.]

[dioscorea]

I mean I guess I do still have a master, I just can't contact them from here. At least when I was away from the citadel before I knew I could go home whenever I was ready, but here I can't do that. So it's kind of like not having a master for a while? Because I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing...

[Sorry, he's rambling.]

<sub>[ Though Alfred has his flaws, one thing he's pretty adamant about is helping people. Typically, he wants something in return, but the stranger's request seems simple enough for him to assist without any gain other than some Chroma himself.

Anyway, here's one noisy blond on the feed. ]</sub>

Sup, dude!!
Those arms look sick AF!! I can help you out! I'm pretty good at hugging and shit!

[samahl]

[Cyril has no idea what some of those words mean, but he's always down for a hug. So he smiles at Alfred and his enthusiasm.

I would love to experience that talented hugging then. Is there a good place we can meet?

[herocomplex]

I'm still scoping things out around here.
But you know!! My apartment is a pretty rad place. Actually, a snagged a room in one of the bigger complexes here, hehehe.

_{[ Does that sound a little forward? He doesn't think so. ]}

We can, uh, hug and stuff. I don't know. You like movies or anything like that?

[samahl]

I heard about them, but I haven't had a chance to watch one yet. Are you suggesting we watch one together?

[herocomplex]

Hang on a moment! Hold on, back the fuck up!
You're saying you've never-- and I mean never-- have watched a movie before?

[jiyuujin]

While they certainly are impressive, I hope you don't have an immediate need of them? [That is in fact mild concern hiding beneath his amusement.]

[samahl]

Well, I suppose I could wear the prosthetic I had on when I appeared here, but it has a crossbow attachment and seems to be unnecessarily aggressive for exploring the city, hm?

[paradoxically]

How many hugs do you think it would take?

[Because he will legit give you all of them.]

[samahl]

I'm not sure. I'd imagine if we were to fund it only with hugs it would take a while, but I still think any contribution is a great help.
