[iamtetsuo]

[Hello, network. Have a very irritated voice snapping out one simple question.]

How does a hand work?

Comments

voice;

[23wishes]

... Muscles and tendons? Unless this is a joke.

[Not that Tetsuo is a punny guy....]

voice;

[iamtetsuo]

I know that! I wanna know how it works!

[Being more specific would help, but we're never so lucky when it comes to this guy.]

voice;

[rassera]

[Congrats, Tetsuo, you caught him the rare time he's not at the house, but out shopping.]

The four fingers and the thumb, yeah? Thumbs only got one of the bend parts and kinda sticks out from the others...

[He's trying at least, as he stocks up on items you don't really need a utensil for.]

voice;

[iamtetsuo]

You got anything useful to add or you wanna keep listing shit I already know?

voice

[monge]

I guess it can apply for a job if it really wants to, zura...

voice

[iamtetsuo]

What?!

[ Voice ]

[dualismum]

Er, the nerves...? [ since !muscles and tendons" reply above didn't help ]

[ Voice ]

[iamtetsuo]

Yeah, but how?

permatext

[deadtective]

For minimum wage unless it's part of a union.

permavoice

[iamtetsuo]

Wha- shut the hell up!

[resoundingpledge]

In terms of motion, or sensitivity?

Voice;

[iamtetsuo]

Both. I wanna know everything.

video;

[primadovea]

Like all your other body parts work, obviously. Nerves and muscle.

[ chalk another up in the 'fuck if I know' camp. ]

video;

[iamtetsuo]

So how do those work?!

voice;

[hunksmash]

We're electric, man.

voice;

[iamtetsuo]

What?

Voice

[fullmetalbrat]

Why are you asking?

Voice

[iamtetsuo]

I just am!

[and now he's getting defensive.]

[resipiscent]

...

[What even?]

You mean like, in the 'signals from the brain' kind of way? Or another level of 'work'?

[iamtetsuo]

The signals from the brain kind, I guess.

voice

[hooffaceturn]

Are you not used to having hands or something?

[I mean it's a problem she's had personal experience with, so...]

voice

[iamtetsuo]

I'm used to having hands! I'm - look, I just want to know what makes it work!

audio;

[psychofailed]

How literally do you mean?

audio;

[iamtetsuo]

I mean exactly what I said! If I move my hand, it moves. I wanna know how that works.

video;

[amadaman]

... Can you sync up with someone and try reading their brainwaves?

[He was going to do audio but he needed the visual to show Tetsuo: Ken holding up his hand to the camera and moving the fingers of his right hand. Curl, stretch, curl. He also has no idea if this is a valid suggestion or if he's been watching too many shows.

But wait.]

I think I can find us videos about robotic prosthetic arms if that might help too.

video;

[iamtetsuo]

. . .

You wanna volunteer for that?

[He's pretty sure it doesn't work that way. He doesn't know what to look for. But he's also never tried.]

Get videos, too. I've never seen one.

They just do. Like God or science or something.

Why does it matter how they work, as long as they work, right?

voice;

[iamtetsuo]

It just matters!

voice

[superposition]

[It probably says something that the irritability doesn't raise a red flag here.]

A hand? Cultivating an interest in physiology now, are we?

voice

[iamtetsuo]

Can you answer the damn question or not?
