All the propaganda is under the cut. It's long for both of them:

Alexander I Pavlovich:

a. “Maybe not the most handsome or charismatic man in this tournament, but he has ample chaotic neutral energy that both baffles and fascinates contemporaries. In short, if you're into mysterious men, you won't find a sexier enigma than our imperator.”

b. “Look. Is this or is this not the monsterfucking website.”

c. There are lots of monuments dedicated to him. There's one in Moscow in the Alexander Garden right by the Red Square. While nowhere near as grand as the Alexander Column, I think it's still worth showcasing!

The monument is meant to celebrate his victory in the 1812 Russian invasion. He's holding a sword, proudly standing on top of his enemies' weapon.

The sculptors, however, have never seen the man in their life - all the people involved in the making are still alive and well (i think), so that should tell how new it is. The monument was opened for the public just a decade ago in 2014.

d. quote about this bust from the memoirs of Sophie de Choiseul-Gouffier: “No painter was able to properly capture the features of his face and especially his soft expression. Alexander didn’t like to pose for portraits and they were mostly done with some stealth. In this case sculpture have produced a better likeness. The famed Thorvaldsen made a bust of this sovereign worthy of a hand of such a remarkable artist.”

e. His family nickname might have been ‘our angel’ and the medal commemorating his death bears the inscription “Our angel is in heaven”, but did you know that to this day Alexander looks down on Sankt Petersburg as an actual angel, wings, cross, trampled snake and all? Alas, you cannot see it from the ground, the Alexander Column being so very tall, but the statue of the angel on top certainly seems to take after our sexy thrice-angel Emperor.

f. Apotheosis of Alexander! An eminently universal image, perfectly serviceable for his rise to the throne… of Napoleonic Sexyman Tournament.

It really looks like Peter and Catherine are instructing the Electorate. Gentlevoters, surely you wouldn’t dream of disappointing Sasha’s Grandmother and his scantily clothed giant of a Great-great-grandfather?

g. What is sexier than a man in a dress???

Thomas-Alexandre Dumas

a. “mustache”

b. “Tall! Daring! Swashbuckling! A devoted husband and father! Had a personal conflict with Napoleon! Also it was said he could, while holding onto a bar above his head, LIFT A HORSE WITH HIS THIGHS. How is he not on this list ten times already! Vote for General Dumas!”

c. “He was so hot that he inspired The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, and many more books that his son, Alexandre Dumas, wrote. He definitely looked the part of a sexyman, as he son recounts in his memoirs: "My father, as already stated, was twenty-four, and as handsome a young fellow as could be found anywhere. His complexion was dark, his eyes of a rich chestnut colour […]. His teeth were white, his lips mobile, his neck well set on his powerful shoulders, and, in spite of his height of five feet nine inches, he had the hands and feet of a woman. These feet were the envy of his mistresses, whose shoes he was very rarely able to put on." He could crush you between his thighs: "His free colonial life had developed his strength and prowess to an extraordinary degree; he was a veritable American horse-lad, a cowboy. His skill with gun or pistol was the envy of St. Georges and Junot. And his muscular strength became a proverb in the army. More than once he amused himself in the riding-school by passing under a beam, and lifting his horse between his legs." He was so badass he could beat 13 men with 4 and take all the enemy prisoner, and defend against hundreds of men on a bridge by himself. He performed these acts of valour numerous times in Italy. He was so formidable that the Austrians named him the "Schwartz Teufel", or the Black Devil, and his feat at the bridge earned him the moniker of "Horatius Cocles of Tyrol". He wasn't afraid to stand up to his morals and protest against unfair treatment. When unjust executions by the guillotine were happening outside his quarters, he closed the blinds of his curtains, earning him the nickname "Mr. Humanity". When in the Vendée, he complained about the wanton indiscipline in his troops. When in Italy, Berthier wrongly reported his actions as one of "observation" in St. Antonio. Dumas wrote to General Bonaparte that if Berthier was in the same position, he would have shit his pants. Dumas abhorred plunder, never exhorted the locals, and ordered the Directory agent who had come to persuade him otherwise be shot if he dared present himself to Dumas again. Integrity and a sense of moral justice is sexy, mark my words. For Dumas' final qualifier as a sexyman, look no further than this Tumblr heritage post (https://www.tumblr.com/petermorwood/133803437020/hortensevanuppity-elodieunderglass), with 300,000 notes and counting. And I quote: "- daddy general dumas was an immense fierce french warrior who was a 6 foot plus, stunningly gorgeous and charismatic Black gentleman - he invaded egypt - the native egyptians said “is this napoleon? this must be napoleon. we for one welcome our majestic new overlord” - then napoleon showed up - napoleon has all the presence of yesterday’s plain Tesco hummus - the native egyptians were like “… no… no, we’ve thought very hard and we’ll have General Dumas actually” - this did not make napoleon happy - in fact it made him jealous - napoleon felt so emasculated that he launched a campaign of revenge against General Dumas, including taking away his pension, that probably inspired a lot of Alexandre’s rather satisfying scenes in which fathers are nobly avenged and the money-grubbing villains are rubbed in the mud" I rest my case. Tl;dr: He was so hot he inspired multiple books, he was a stronk man who could crush you between his thighs or carry you like a sack of potatoes, and he was so badass that he could take on odds of 1 to 3. He had a foul mouth but a heart of gold and his actions were never self-serving. Posts relating to him on Tumblr have had 300,000 notes and counting. He is qualitatively and quantitatively qualified to be a sexyman.”

body horror headcanon

For the bioflux accelerator tentacle arm things

At least some of trace's internal organs had to be shuffled around for them to fit methinks

Or maybe it's like a woodpecker thing where the tentacles curl around his skull (yes that happens with woodpeckers and their tongues)

YESYYESYESYESEYS THAT IDEA IS SOOOO COOL

i really want to mess with the idea of organs being shifted around but in my head its just a lot of the movement of the ribs and muscles near exlusively.

his rib cage at the back is more pried apart for the bioflux tendrils to kind of wedge themselves in via hooks to sprout as violently as need be when he's healed up, muscles torn apart and mended to be attached to the base of the tendrils to be (VERY SLIGHTLY) mobile. it grows worse with his prolonged exposure to bioflux and the second injection, allowing to be nudged more laterally or medially as need be, because they themselves cant be injured!!

THIS ALSO AFFECTS HIS SPINE. to the point the suddenness of the initial tendril eruptions from his back has snapped loose some lateral processes of some vertebrae, spinal disks bloated with fluid from the violent nature of it and his spine starts meandering around the tendrils, cause i doubt theyre symmetrical along his back, some closer to his spinal column than others. that scoliosis is FUCKED UP and COMPLEX. this also causes some pinching of his spinal cord which is absolutely agonizing if he tilts a certain way so he walks a bit leaned to the right. theres also just shrapnel of bone in his back now but he's lucky enough to not have it puncture any vital organs, not that he'd be left to die if they did. it does take some iterations of deaths for his spine to somewhat accustom to the tendrils but it by no means becomes more "comfortable." just pinching becomes less frequent and the bones are essentially restructured around the bioflux.

as his body modifies more and more the tissue turns more red hot and distorted towards his back to allow more mobility. the tendrils no longer erupt from under the skin it's more of like pods in his back theyre situated in to recover in when he's hurt that can more safely protrude from when ready.

Tissue as minute as the vessels are rerouted, treating the tendrils almost like a tumor that requires more oxygen but its split the vessels to still leave some oxygen for his normal tissue.

OHHH though now that i think about it more, all that mass from the bioflux Does Need a place to retreat into. i was thinking he could have more like, the back equivalent of SEVERE barrel chest as the flesh back there gets more lumpy, his skin more stretched out to nest the tendrils but that probably cant do all the heavy lifting. HMMMMM

although not much can be shifted without affecting his performance which i don't think elsenova would allow much of. i think she still is deriving a little bit of satisfaction from his pain but they do need him. and they can't allow him to resent them Too much, or else he'd be a threat and not fulfill the purpose they need him to.

MUCH TO STINK ABOUT..!!!! ill ponder on if his ribcage just splits open at the back for the space or if it closes Around the tendrils for better anchorage. and also if it's the latter if the rib cage Encloses the pods the tendrils come from or if it is just underneath them. like how fucked up are we getting with it

I WILL DRAW THIS... WHEN I HAVE THE ENERGY!

and i have NO IDEA if this is coherent i love stinking about it. specbiooo <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

ULTRAMagic Prelude Chapter 26

Previous | First | Next

Master Post

Blood-Wraith was relaxing in his room of the palace, mulling over his thoughts about everything that had happened so far. Fortunately he was feeling a lot better. His self-reflection was interrupted by Darkness swinging open the door with a smile on his face. “Blood! Can I borrow you for a moment?”

“Sure, what’s up?”

“Come, we’ll walk and talk.” Darkness led his brother through the halls, passing by the others. “...so my verdict is that you’re not invincible. You can’t die, but your form can be damaged to the point where you’re forced to reincarnate and that would lead to complications. Did you notice anything at the Metal Oasis?”

Blood-Wraith thought back as they boarded a lift. “Well, my body did start to crack as I got battered around… the metal parts.”

“Did they heal afterwards?”

“Yeah. It was a bit uncomfortable while healing though.”

The lift was going deep below the surface. Everything was rocky with glowing veins all over the place. “Honestly I feel you need some armor, at the bare minimum. I think I got the perfect idea in mind, but we’ll need to do some testing. Plus you’ll probably feel a lot better knowing you got some form of protection.”

At the bottom, Darkness dissolved into the environment. “Hey, Darkness? Where’d you go?” Blood-Wraith asked as he looked around.

“Don’t fret, I’m all around you. Consider this my brain if you will. Shall we proceed to the training room?”

The chamber presented to Blood-Wraith was gigantic. It was made of white stone, with the veins pulsing in alternating colors. A rhythmic beating could also be heard. Platforms, columns, and steps appeared and shifted all over the place. Blood-Wraith was amazed by this and the beauty of the chamber as a whole. It was like he was in a different realm. He walked around until he encountered another pool of black goo, much like the one he had seen on the surface.

“I don’t have to get in, do I?”

“Yes, but it’s for a good reason. I need to study your… everything so I know what I need to do.”

Blood-Wraith took a breath and exhaled. “Alright, let’s get this over with…” The viscous substance quickly pulled him under. Once he was secure and comfortable, Darkness got to work. The procedure was gentle and careful, seeing what made Blood-Wraith tick. It tested his durability and briefly activated each of his alternate forms. Being inside the blood was weird and hard to describe. Blood-Wraith did not have a frame of reference for the experience, but could say that it was like a prolonged hug… that poked and prodded at him.

He shuddered a little back in the chamber. “That was strange… what did you find out?”

“You’re weird…” Darkness stated bluntly. “...but I do have something in mind.” A blob dropped down from the ceiling and began taking a humanoid shape. “This armor I’m crafting should keep you safe. It’ll also adapt to your other forms… well most of them.”

Blood-Wraith took the suit once it was finished and inspected it. It was stretchy and went up to the base of his head. “What’s it made of?”

“A mix of my blood and brain fluid… I’m aware of how weird that seems. Go ahead and try it on.”

The suit slipped right on and fit snuggly. After a couple seconds of smoothing it out, everything was ready to go. Sections of it began glowing red, contrasting with the black material. “Wow, It feels… I feel powerful, haha!”

“Now your armor can stretch and flex, but don’t push it. The idea is that it should toughen up in response to physical trauma while leaving your mobility unhindered.”

A facsimile of Blood-Wraith emerged from the floor and began punching him in the chest. He was amazed as the suit firmed up, yet he barely felt it. “Nice!” He then punched his double with the strength of his Might form. The suit was now black and green because of this. “Wait, what!?”

“That’s the other ability of it: You can channel the powers of your other forms. They won’t be as strong, but I figured it would come in handy in a pinch.”

Blood-Wraith thought for a second, then his suit went blue. Spider silk shot from his palm, cocooning his double. “That’ll come in handy… but what if I…” He then shot a fireball, setting the cocoon ablaze.” Whoa…”

“Hey now, that’s pretty clever. Speaking of which; Blood? I think you need a little training. Sound good?”

Darkness was able to scope out Blood-Wraith’s skill level through his memories while he was in the blood… It was not good. It was a miracle that he survived the battle at the Metal Oasis. The plan was to run through each of his forms, then do some sword staff practice. To make things a bit more interesting, Darkness proposed naming the forms as they went along. Blood-Wraith welcomed this idea with open arms. Just thinking about it made him feel cool.

First up was Indigo Wolf. Not much was discovered outside of things that were already known. The form was fast, agile, and perceptive. They did find out that Blood-Wraith was able to do a sonic howl that could stun his foes, however. Violet Train was a great surprise. It took the form of a full sized, steam-powered locomotive. It could not do much other than travel. On the bright side, the channeled ability allowed Blood-Wraith to charge forward with great force. Darkness was a little confused, but it clicked once he found out who Corentin was.

Blood-Wraith adored Golden Dragon. It was a blood pumping experience to be that large and able to breathe fire. He also had the ability to shroud an area in shadow thanks to Leif. Moving onto Verdant Might, there was not much ground to cover. A lot had already been discovered at Aqua World. Regardless, Darkness taught Blood-Wraith some basic hand-to-hand combat techniques.

The last two forms were more interesting to accommodate. Azure Spider, in addition to its webbing and fireballs, could crawl up any surface. After a bit of target practice, Blood-Wraith was ready to move on. Last, but certainly not least was Ochre Serpent. He felt the most animalistic in this form. Aside from being gigantic, the serpent form could spit bursts of water. These were highly damaging upon impact… And also gave Darkness a light headache.

“Well that was fun…” Blood-Wraith remarked as he went back to normal… or so he thought.

“Blood?”

“Yes? What’s up, brother?”

“Do you… Do you know what you currently look like?”

“Um, a fiery being with a metal body?”

Darkness brought down a reflective stone. “Are you sure about that?”

What Blood-Wraith saw was a six-eyed boy with brown hair, wearing his armor. This startled him. “I look like Sister and Desislav!”

“You’ve been pursuing ULTRAMagic by collecting soul fragments, correct?”

“Yes, I have.”

“Hmm… give me a second…” Darkness pondered this form, then had an idea. “I think this is your physical form, a vessel for your existence. I’m not sure about it though and doubly unsure what benefits this provides you at the moment. That you’ll have to figure out on your own. I could only see so much while I was inspecting you. It is interesting that all of your eyes still appear, I must say…”

Blood-Wraith was looking at his teeth. “Huh, I hadn’t noticed… Let’s go show the others!”

“Wait, Blood. We still got to…” He was already at the lift. “...fine.”

Back at the palace, Dragoslava was chatting with the others. “...Brenna has quite the voice. Personally I think she should’ve been a singer rather than a gun nut like me, but hey…”

“... funny coincidence given that I’ve heard you singing in the shower” Desislav pointed out.

Dragoslava blushed. “Ha, what can I say? She rubbed off on me.”

“You guys ever get that feeling that something just changed?” Tusk questioned.

Deimos nodded. “Fairly often. Why?”

“Hey guys!” Blood-Wraith said as he and Darkness entered the lounge. Everyone else was surprised.

“Blood, is that you?!” Dragoslava exclaimed. “What’s with the new look?”

“Wow, what is all this?” Desislav inquired. They all got up to look at Blood-Wraith’s new appearance.

Tusk was silent. Then he spoke. “You trained without me, didn’t you?”

“Yes… but didn’t you say you weren’t sure how to train me?” Blood-Wraith brought up.

Tusk tossed himself to the floor, throwing a fit. “SOME STINKING TEACHER I AM!”

“It’s okay, you still have the battle at the Dark Grand Desert…” Deimos stated sympathetically.

“If you’re going to kick me in the seeds, then actually kick me in the seeds!” This… elicited giggles and chuckles from everyone.

Blood-Wraith helped Tusk back up. “You can still teach me stuff. All my brother and I did was run through my forms. We can still come up with stuff for me to do with them.”

“I suppose so… geez, what’s dad even going to think about this?”

Desislav patted Tusk on the back. “I think he’d tell you to stop worrying. Some things are out of your control.”

“I swear I’m heading back to the village after this. Don’t worry, I’ll be researching so I don’t have to do this again…”

“Haha, there’s the spirit, I guess.”

Deimos could sense how Tusk was feeling. “You never wanted to be a fighter, did you?”

“No, not at all. I want to settle down with Donia and raise a family… There, I said it.”

“Tusk, I’m sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused you and your people…”

“Deimos, stop. It’s alright. Something I took away from my dad is that actions speak louder than words. I may still be bitter, but you’ve come all this way to… You know what? All is forgiven! End of story.” Tusk then plopped himself down on one of the couches.

After an awkward silence, Blood-Wraith spoke up. “So I guess I have a human form thanks to my ULTRAMagic…” His stomach grumbled. “...hehe, I’m hungry.”

“That can happen after prolonged use of your magic in that state” Tusk pointed out.

Darkness clapped his hands. “Well good thing it's dinner time then.”

A hearty dinner was prepared since they were getting close to the Dark Grand Desert. The group would be at their destination the next day. Pressure was mounting, but everyone felt at peace knowing they were ready to go. Blood-Wraith still felt a bit of anxiety, however. He had learned more about his powers, but what if the Lich was even stronger now? Deimos figured he would stay at Blood-Wraith's bedside until he fell asleep to relieve these fears.

“He normally would try to come up with a plan to counter your forms, but he’s only seen two of them. You have the element of surprise, Blood.”

“You know what? That’s what Sigmund said was our advantage…”

“Smart man, that Sigmund. I suspect he had already caught on to the fact that my other half has limited intellect.”

“What do you mean?” Blood-Wraith asked.

Deimos chuckled. “Remember what I said back at Aqua World about how the Lich is driven by desire? There’s more to it. When I was split off from him, I took his mind in addition to the emotions. You can’t have emotions without thought and you can’t truly think without emotions. It’s who we are and how we react to the world around us.”

“So that means…”

“He’s all brawn and no brain. He may remember how to use my spells, but don’t expect him to do anything creative with them.”

This made Blood-Wraith feel better. “So no sympathy for the Lich?”

“Not an inch. There’s nothing to feel sorry for in that empty husk.”

Blood-Wraith sighed. “I feel sorry for you, Uncle Deimos.”

If he had skin, he’d be smiling. “Thank you, Blood-Wraith. I will make things right, don’t you worry. Ha, I certainly have a lot of apologizing to do when we get back…”

“Now you don’t worry, because I’ll be there to support you. Good night, Uncle Deimos.”

“Good night, Blood. Sleep tight.”

Cyborg

Pairing: Zelo x Reader (G) Prompt: Cyborg/Android Word Count: 1.5K

~Admin V

             It had been over a week since you first woke up in the cyborg unit. Once you were stable, you learned that a truck ran a light while you were at the crosswalk. After running you over, your leg got stuck in an axel and you were dragged a bit before the truck stopped. The leg was obliterated. When they brought you to Dr. Choi, he was able to cleanly remove it and replace it with the robotic prosthetic.

             You sat in a wheelchair, looking out the window in the physical therapy room. Your therapist, Jongup, had moved two ballet bars for you to use as railings while you walked along them. You didn’t want to. You didn’t want to do it today, and you hadn’t wanted to do it the last three days. Despite Jongup’s encouragement and cheers, you ignored him and continued looking out the window.

             A sigh of relief escaped when he finally left you alone in the room. It was crazy to you that the doctors wouldn’t give you time to process and grieve your loss. They expected you to try and use your new “leg” right away.

             The reprieve was short lived as Dr. Choi came into the room. He walked toward your chair and knelt down in front of you. “Jongup tells me you won’t do the exercises again.”

             With a non-committal grunt, you continued to look out the window. He called your name but you refused to look at him. “You have to use your leg. You need to walk on it, and bend down with it. All the other things you would normally do before your accident.”

             “That’s just it, isn’t it?” Your glare was icy as you turned to him. “It’s not my leg. I could do all the things you want me to do before the accident. I don’t want to do them now. Why can’t you just leave me alone?”

             The fact that he smiled widely made you angrier. “I’m not gonna just let you wallow in self-pity. You’re absolutely right; what happened to you is unfair and you didn’t deserve to have it happen. But it did happen. I know that’s hard to accept, but it happened and you can’t change that.”

             Turning away from him, looking back out the window was easier than to admit he was right.

           “I know you want to be left alone in your pity party, but unfortunately, your new leg doesn’t have that kind of time.”

             “What makes you think I even want this stupid thing?”

             “So you would like to remain in a wheelchair the rest of your life instead of walking and being mobile on your own?”

             “I want to be fully human!” You gestured at your leg. “This makes me a freak! You don’t think people will just ignore a big robot leg, do you?”

             “It won’t always look like that. Once you complete therapy and it moves in sync with you, we’ll confirm there are no problems and cover it with a very realistic silicon. It will look just like your other leg. Soon you’ll forget it’s even metal.”

             “Like you’d know,” muttered from your lips.

             He stood up then and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt. Looking up at him, he revealed a scar on his neck. Then he removed his lab coat and lifted the back of his shirt. There was a long scar from what you could see going alongside his spinal column. Dr. Choi turned back to you. “You’re not the only one who’s not fully human.”

             Your mouth dropped. There were no words. All you could do was stare.

             His smile this time was sheepish. “Before my accident, I used to be a B-boy.”

             Still in shock, you spoke without thinking. “But you’re so tall.”

             That made him chuckle. “Yeah, it was part of the problem. I tried to do a backflip I wasn’t prepared for and landed wrong. Technically, my neck was broken and my spine was damaged. I would be paralyzed without the robotic parts that I have now.”

             You were still at a loss for words. He bent down to your level again. “You can do this. I know, because I did. Your new leg is attached to your nerve endings. When you move it, it’s going to move just like your other one did. It will build muscle memory and act just like a normal human leg. But right now, by not moving it, it’s building the memory of a statue, and that’s how it will act.”

             His words were understood. The stubborn part of you still didn’t want to give in, but it did seem like this was your shot at having your life as normal as it had always been.

             Seeing your deliberation, Dr. Choi beamed once more. “I’ll make you a deal; you try walking, and I will show you some of my B-boy moves.”

             Your mouth dropped. “You still do them?”

             He wiggled his eyebrows. “I rap, too.”

             “Is Dr. Choi your stage name?”

             Chuckling, he shook his head. “That would be Zelo.”

             “Zelo. Dr. Zelo. I think if I’m doing this, I should get the full show of rapping and B-boying.”

             He rubbed his chin, pretending to consider the bargain. “I don’t know. You haven’t been a very good patient so far. Jongup is the cheeriest person in this place, and you made him frown.”

             “How cheerful were you after your accident? Do you want me to use the leg or not?”

             His smile was back. “Okay then. You walk down the bars; I’ll rap and dance for you. Deal?” His hand stretched out to you.

             You accepted it and shook. “Deal.”

             He was ready to help you to stand, but you motioned for him to stop. “Will it hurt?”

             Zelo knelt down again. “It won’t hurt, but it won’t feel comfortable. The leg is trying to learn how it’s supposed to function, so it’s going to be a little stiff and hard to move at first. Once it receives signals from the nerve endings, and you move it, it will get easier and feel more comfortable.”

             You nodded and mumbled an “okay.”

             His hand rested on top of yours as he looked into your eyes. “You can do this. I’m gonna be here all the way.”

             Nodding again, you allowed Zelo to help you up from the wheelchair and hobble over to the ballet bars. Once you were situated, he moved to the opposite end. “Whenever you’re ready. Take your time.”

             He wasn’t joking when he said it would be uncomfortable. The leg wasn’t any heavier than your human leg was, but because it was new, it felt like dead weight. Your nerve endings tingled as you attempted to move it. You could only move it an inch, and you were sweating from just that much.

             “You’re doing good! Don’t worry about how far it moves. Take as small of a step as you need. You can build up to longer strides.”

             Squeezing the bars for support, you moved your good leg then tried your robotic leg again. A gasp sounded when the nerve endings tingled again. It felt like electricity. It continued like this until you were out of breath and at the end of the bars. Zelo had grabbed your wheel chair and had it ready for you. You were thankful as he helped you into it.

            “That was good! You did really well.”

            Still breathless, you lifted your shirt to wipe sweat of your forehead.

            “So which do you want first, rapping or dancing?”

            Your eyebrow lifted. “You can’t do both at once?”

            A smug smirk appeared. “Oh, I can. But you’re only getting one now. I’ll do the other when you make it back down the bars.”

            “What?” Your mouth dropped.

            “Like I said, time is of the essence, and you didn’t want to use it the first few days. We can’t stop now.” Zelo chuckled as you groaned. “It will be easier this time. Your leg has some input from the nerve endings sending messages to move. It has a better idea of how to function.”

            You did nothing but glare at him. It only made him beam brighter.

            “I’m still here to help you. Us cyborgs gotta stick together.”

            If looks could kill . . . “I’m gonna use my cyborg leg to kick your cyborg ass.”

            His smile never faltered. “That’s the spirit! Gotta walk the row again if that’s ever gonna happen.” When you ignored him, he started shaking his shoulders and shimmying. “What’s it gonna be?”

            It was hard not to smile at this ridiculously tall doctor dancing like a fool before you. Pride still in tow, you gave him a solemn look. “I will walk it again, but I want both the rapping and dancing together when I make it to the end.”

            “Alright!” He raised his hand for a high-five. When you refused to meet him, he lifted your hand and slapped it against his, making you grin again. “Let’s get this robo-show on the road!”
