[ Miles' video feed opens on him in his office in Nonah, which is ... honestly pretty wrecked. Someone had a fight in here - and maybe threw some people through some walls - and so there's some temporary drywall put up to patch things up for now. He's working on it, okay. And fortunately he's got the money to just pay for it without pestering the city about such things.

But perhaps more noticeable to people who know him is the empty sleeve pinned up on his left side. He sure is missing an arm all of a sudden. Whoops. ]

I have two requests. The first is - well, I find myself in need of an interior decorator, if there are any so inclined.

[ He gestures at the drywall in his office, the wrecked furniture. A good reason to replace it with something nicer. ]

And the second is ... perhaps a bit of a stretch. But are there any out there with skill in producing prosthetics? I'm told I'll regenerate my limb eventually, but I'd rather have something now, if possible.

[ And another gesture, this time to the empty sleeve. ]

I would appreciate anyone who can help on either front. You'll be paid, of course, as I expect either would be a considerable task.

What on Earth happened?

[dendarii]

[ Miles brightens to hear the man, despite the topic of conversation. ]

Doctor! It's quite all right, really. I just survived an assassination attempt.

[mathemagier]

[WHAT]

Oh god, Miles.

[He's almost beside himself, really. What if..?]

Are- how.. how are you?

I may be able to assist. My expertise isn't in prosthetics necessarily, but I do have experience making arms.

[ This isn't altruism; he needs the money. His tone is, therefore, appropriately business-like. ]

[dendarii]

[ Miles is up for pretty much anything at this point, okay. And given that all of Mark's personal accounts defaulted to him upon departure, he also has the money to pay for it. ]

Then you have my tentative interest. What sort of arms do you mean?

[ doc ock beating him to a sale, how dare he ]

I was actually in the midst of developing a fully functional prosthetic arm before the recipient was ported out. I'm certain that we could arrange for something that would be more suitable to you, Ambassador.

[dendarii]

[ He's heckin' rude, that's what he is. Though honestly Miles would probably pay for two prosthetics just to have options. Certainly his eyes light up for Rusty as well. ]

That would work out nicely, yes. May I ask who it was for?

[quickfingers]

So was it your good arm or your bad arm? [Having your arm ripped off sounds kinda metal. So does regrowing it.]

[dendarii]

[ Thanks, Peter. He appreciates it. ]

My bad arm, thankfully. I'm mostly right-handed.

[ Jean is going to be staring in a mix of confusion and concern for Miles and when he's finally able to string a few words together, he's going to get the following ]

Are you... how did... what happened?

[dendarii]

[ Ah. His expression softens a bit seeing her reaction. ]

I was attacked. Something of a unique situation - the attacker had been affected by a sort of ... lack of inhibition, I guess you could say. They attempted to murder me.

[ghoulking]

What happened, Miles?

[dendarii]

An assassination attempt, of sorts. Though it was nothing so pre-meditated. The attacker in question was under an unusual mental influence.

[godcomplexing]

You regenerate? [yep, that's what he focuses on]

[dendarii]

[ Alas, Adam, he's going to disappoint you. ]

Er. Not any quicker than usual. We all do.

[baetiful]

My lord. It seems as though every time we speak, someone has made an attempt on your life.

[ Baelish has at least checked the other replies before becoming the millionth person to ask what happened. ]

[dendarii]

[ Thanks, Petyr. Miles has grown a bit weary of the question by now, however well-meaning each iteration may have been. ]

Comes with the territory, I'd say. Haven't you had a few assassination attempts yourself?

[lempereur]

What sort of aesthetic are you interested in, Ambassador?

[ Body horror? Much less interested. Been there, done that already. ]

[dendarii]

My tastes tend towards Russian and old-fashioned, I'm told. But I'm willing to try any number of things.

[slightlyoffchilt]

[Quietly, and with obvious hesitation:]

Tony Stark has some talent about it. I am told.

[dendarii]

You're the second to recommend him, in fact.

[ He tilts his head to one side. ]

But you seem ... reluctant?

[chulk]

If you gave me an afternoon to read up on it I could probably do it.

[Although being a teenager is likely to make people hesitate.]

The arm not the decorating, can't help you there.

[dendarii]

[ That ... does get a bit of a look. Though Miles also worked with the Hamada brothers previously, so maybe not too much of a look. ]

If you can do it in an afternoon, I would be suitably impressed.

[aberranthubris]

Oh, good lord, Miles. What happened? Are you alright? [ Charles looks quite shocked and worried. ]

[dendarii]

[ Sorry, Charles. Miles winces a bit at the worry on his face. ]

I was attacked. An assassination attempt of sorts, thought the assassin was not in their right mind. But - I made it to a hospital, and the nanites are speeding along my recovery.
