[ A new voice pops up on the Crystals, cheery despite the nature of his query. ]
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.

Someone with a Free Marcher accent running around with a shard in their hand narrows it down quite a bit.

...My name is Gareth, by the way, and you're welcome.
no subject
... Well that certainly clears up a few things. I was wondering why people kept saying my surname.

[ Need a family to have a family name. ]
That's funny, though I guess it's a pretty common name. I hope we won't have to do any mail exchanges or anything.
However...if I did get my hand chopped off, we could just go by 'One-Handed Gareth' and 'Two-Handed Gareth'.

[He's heard a lot of ways to describe him and 'fancy' wasn't one of them.]
Think it'll only be a problem if you plan on calling me by my 'fancy' surname instead of Sam.
You really want to be called 'One-Handed Gareth'?
no subject
And no, not particularly. Though I suppose it's better than Three-Handed Gareth.
no subject
[Well Samouel, but that would be getting fancy again wouldn't it?]
Mmm... Not necessarily. That name is too much of an innuendo.
no subject
[ Ominously: ]
For now.
[ Less ominously: ]
Because I'll probably get tired of it and just call you Sam, pretty soon.
no subject
[After all there isn't another Sam that he is competing with here.]
Sam would probably be best. Honestly I'd probably get tired of being called Two-Handed.

Also, no cutting off hands or encouraging it. That should really be a last resort kind of thing. Especially for Rifters; that could very well be their link back home.
no subject
Besides, what anyone else does to their bodies isn't for either of us to decide. I neither encourage, nor discourage.
no subject
But you can say it another ten times please.
I can only agree to that to a point, especially if your choices are going to affect others. In this case though I highly discourage it.
