Asking The Real Questions

[loyalrebel]

Did anyone keep the ability to build limbs from our trip to Nova Venezia, or otherwise know how to build them with the same level of articulation.

Second of all, is there any specific food anyone wants? I will be hosting something besides hot chocolate and marshmallow flowers as soon as I can manage to get enough supplies made for a get together.

Also...

We did good, and a party is well deserved I think.

The easiest way would be a magnetic 'boot' that wraps around the ankle. It should be flexible - the articulation would be just as detailed as the body really is. Unlike a body, it won't heal when it's strained, so it will require regular maintenance, especially after running and jumping.

We could also rivet something to the bone, but that would be messy. And permanent.

I do not have ankles anymore.

I am used to doing maintenance on my arm already, a few more joints is not too bad an addition.

I do, however, do a great deal of running and leaping and climbing normally.

[fridgeninja]

Do you still have calves?

[loyalrebel]

I have most of my knees and that is about it.

... I could do boot-cuffs around the lower thighs, then... trying to rivet gears to your knees seems like a bad idea.

Using the prostheses to run and jump is going to hurt until the skin in contact with them has time to callus, even if it's scar tissue.

I have things attached to bone in my shoulder to hold my arm, the idea does not bother me as much as it might. You are the expert here however.

No different than getting my fingers used to climbing buildings, I am used to the discomfort required in getting used to a new way of doing something.

I haven't actually attached one of these in this lifetime. So, I'd rather not start with the permanent one.
