So, I've been wondering. Has anyone tried just removing the hand their anchor shard is on? Would that get rid of it, or would you just get a glowing green stump?

...If no one has done it, I'm not volunteering, for the record. I've got my finger on my nose. You can't see it, but it's there. I'm just curious about possible options, here.

Haven't tried, not going to try. I use a two-handed blade, so that would be a problem.

[foundmyselfagain]

Well, I'm certainly not going to insist that someone try. I'm just curious.

[iceblade]

Then, no. At least I haven't seen any one-handed people in the Gallows. Maybe there are and I missed them?

[foundmyselfagain]

Maybe they just took advantage of the fact that they didn't have to stick around any more and left.

[iceblade]

Maybe, but no one's mentioned either.

Lady, I hope it doesn't come to that. There's too much I love doing as I am now to give that up.

[foundmyselfagain]

I suppose all there is to do is hope.

[iceblade]

And get mistaken for rifters. They're not too popular right now, just to warn you.

[foundmyselfagain]

Yeah, I've heard that much. I guess I'm not surprised, really. A bunch of people drop out of the Fade and claim not to be from around here? Thedasians are only too happy to turn on people who are from around here, of course they're going to be sketchy about the new guys.

[iceblade]

It's also that two of our leaders are rifters themselves. Some people think them 'demons' and now those 'demons' are in charge. It's made for some chilly receptions, I can tell you that.
