voice; a totally normal and not suspicious request

So!!!

I know some of you are not human, and even the humans have extraordinary abilities! Ands so... I was wondering. If maybe someone's has some limbs they are willing to part with? Living, organic, non-native ones!

You see, I'm a doctor in the home dimension I came from, and work to develop pharmaceutical drugs! I'd love to do a little bit of science on imPorts to see if there is any non-nanomachine-based way to perhaps improve native abilities to heal.

[This is definitely not a thinly-veiled attempt to get his hands on non-human meat to see how it tastes and if he can even consume it.]

Doesn't need to be a limb, really. Any body part, preferably one you can easily replace.

You're not getting bites. In fact, you're getting antibites! Not a single taker so far!

Well, for now. The process is not immediate! If there is anything I have to spare, it is time.

As I said, if you really wanted to be successful with this, you'd have started off a little slower. You won't find many like minds this way...

[not that Hange is any stranger to that struggle herself, but even she is not about to donate a limb to a total stranger.]

I'm used to not finding any like minds, frankly. It doesn't bother me much, all I want is to see if I can get my hands on... a hand! Haha!

[That was a good one. You go, Itsuki.]

Hahahaha! [no that was good, it was funny] Your project sounds interesting, but I think this iteration in particular is doomed to failure!

Mh, maybe. It was worth a shot, but humans are about the same no matter the dimension, huh?

I'm not sure this is a human thing. People of any stripe are likely to be... attached... to their limbs.

[heh.]

I suppose any nonhuman without regenerative capabilities like the ones I'm looking for would be... I'm just used to it being strictly the humans. Now me on the other hand, I'm absolutely willing to part with my limbs!

Perhaps you should offer people your own limbs, as a show of good faith!

[because this sounds interesting and she wants one??? a limb, that is.]

I mean I can. A trade of limbs... I'd prefer to part with my left arm if I can choose. I'm right-handed, after all. But I can't give it away too many times, it's resource-heavy to regrow them and I've already spent far too much on food this week...

No, I don't want to trade. I want you to give me one of your limbs, to demonstrate goodwill!

[????? BECAUSE THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE]

It doesn't have to be this week.

Oh. Mh.

[That sounds like bullshit. Itsuki is a bit of an airhead now and then, but...]

I mean, sure. Why not? Only one for free, though.

[That's what goodwill is all about!!!!]

One is all I'll ask for!

[SIGH]

Where to, then?

We can set up an appointment, I don't want to put you out! You want to do this now?

I have time now. Shall I bring something to remove the limb with or are you good for it?

Bring whatever you prefer. You can talk me through assisting if necessary. I'm based in Maurtia Falls, where are you?

I live in Heropa. Either location works for me. I can probably bring something to contain the blood... Or at least make sure it doesn't look like anyone was slaughtered.

I'll come to you! Shall we do that right away?

Yes, I'd like that! My tank's all full and I think there would really be no better time.

[Also, he may be performing this as 'an act of good faith', but he was going to make a mental note of this as an IOU.]

Excellent, excellent. See you soon.

[She'll text him asking for an address, and turn up as promptly as anybody could having to go through one of the teleporters: a rangy woman on the tall side with long, greasy brown hair and thick glasses. They're going to cut off his arm, but Hange smiles like she does this shit every day.]

Are you ready?

[If it's any consolation, Itsuki is also smiling as if this were a normal occurrence, playing the good host as he answers the door, opening it up for her and holding it as a gentleman would.

He may not appear the way she would expect, in a brightly colored suit with some thick-rimmed glasses in a similar shade to his clothing, Itsuki was rather clean-cut, so to speak.]

Ah yes, of course! Want to get right to it, then?

[He lead the way to the kitchen then. Best place for it, right? He did most of his butchering here, after all.]

Why yes, please! [She'll follow him obediently and politely, though she cranes around like a gawker, curious about the home she's hosted in. She's curious about that, and Itsuki as well.]

Please let me know of any way I can assist you. Removing an arm sounds very troublesome, after all.

[Thankfully this place itself is not actually that strange! Well, considering a giant chameleon monster and an eldritch parasite inhabit it. He hasn't really done much as far as decorating outside of his room, anyway.]

Mhh, I may need you to assist in breaking the bone...

[He says it casually, leaning down to open a drawer to retrieve a cutting board. He isn't going to just cut his arm off on the counter!!! With a sigh, he then removes his jacket, setting it aside and then rolling his left sleeve up.]

I think a cleaver will do the job fine, but I may need some more weight on it. I've never really cut off my own limb before... You'd be alright with that, right?

Of course, of course!

[Hange is a soldier and has seen hundreds of comrades die on the front lines, often in incredibly gruesome, bloody ways. One severed arm isn't going to throw her, especially since he's alluded to being able to regrow limbs.

She will just go opening this drawer and that one, searching for a cleaver.]

Well, it'll be a bit of a mess. If I'd known you weren't set up for amputations I'd have brought a sword.
