[Video] Slightly backdated to early morning

[dotthedisconnect]

[The feed opens on Tech, but there appears to be something in the side of the frame. What do you have there, Te--

. . . is that? Yes, it is. There appears to be an adult-like human attached to Tech’s hand.

A few citizens may recognize him to be Shulk. Shulk is peering over Tech’s shoulder curiously. But Tech is far too tired and frustrated to find the circumstances entertaining, at the moment. Well, mostly. He pulls their hands closer to the camera.]

Is anyone else having this problem?

[ooc: (later) responses may come from Shulk as well.]

Incidental. I was taking something from him and our hands touched.

[crabbygenius]

Hm, I wonder if a carefully controlled force field would negate the effects of the curse.

[dotthedisconnect]

So far I've only attempted to separate us with manual, physical instruments, but short of cutting through something that doesn't seem possible. Whatever is holding our hands together is very small and precise--it might even be the case that the skin has been fused somehow. Unfortunately I don't think that a force field would be any more effective than, say, a knife. Maybe if we had something that could operate on a molecular level...

[crabbygenius]

Molecular level may work, but I don't have anything that works on that level. Well not here anyway.

[dotthedisconnect]

I could probably scavenge enough parts in my lab to create something serviceable, but it's going to be a little difficult to build anything under the [He shakes his shared hand] circumstances.

[crabbygenius]

That does look like a bit of a problem. Perhaps, we are just better waiting it out.

I can't last that long, can it?

[dotthedisconnect]

No.

[His eyes narrow.]

Just a week.

[crabbygenius]

......A week.

[At least it wasn't a hundred years or something like that.]

[dotthedisconnect]

At most. Individual effects often vary in length, but the threat of any curse lasts for precisely one week.

[crabbygenius]

....Lets hope I don't get stuck to someone for a week.

[If she does.... cutting off her hand sounds like a pretty good idea. ]

[dotthedisconnect]

Yes, indeed let's.
