(transfem top x ambiguous gender pov bottom, woundfucking smut, do not read if you are underage. trigger list will be in the first reply.)

the girl you've been talking to online turns out to be local. not too surprising since your city is so major compared to some of the other ones left, but still good news. you had plans to meet up tonight at a bar near her place and are almost ready when she sends you this text:

sorry have 2 cancel bc work running late. i work from home tho so if u want 2 come over i can send the address

you agree and she gives you the address to her apartment. she says the door will be unlocked when you get there so let yourself in. you send her a thumbs up and head over. her apartment building is very poorly designed - the only door into her place is accessible from the third landing of a rusted fire escape. you let yourself in after verifying that you have the right unit number. immediately after opening the door you are struck by the scent of blood and sweat, as well as other smells you can't immediately put names to and the humming of what sounds like a loud fan. she calls out from another room. she says hey. she says shut the door. you do. she says sorry i cant greet you im in the living room and cant move. you say thats ok and head towards her voice. the scent gets worse as you head through the door into her living room.

on top of the dirtiest sofa you've ever seen lies a man you do not know. he appears to be asleep, though with the state he's in it's difficult to tell. he has no legs, and no bandages covering the bloody stumps where they once were. the legs that previously WERE attached are sitting on the ground in a heap, along with his similarly detached arms. his chest cavity is open, and his ribs are unfolded. various tubes lead out of the open cavity. some of them are made of plastic and lead to what appear to be bags of saline, blood, and a strange machine with vents along the top that whirs loudly, the source of the noise you heard before. others are made of flesh, their shape and size similar to how you imagine intestines look, and they connect to several of the man's organs, which are currently stowed on a three-tiered rolling metal cart.

on the middle shelf is a jar of neon blue liquid, inside of which his heart sits, still beating thanks to live electrical wires leading to what appears to be a gutted and repurposed chunky plastic kid's electric piano. his lungs hang off of a hook on the side, inflating and deflating in a shuddering motion that is not at all what you expected breathing to look like. the middle shelf also holds his kidneys, one of which has been disconnected and sits in a pool of blood on the bare shelf. the other is in a jar of what seems to be some sort of clear jelly. the bottom shelf holds a concerning pile of viscera, none of it connected to the man. you pick out his stomach and intestines easily enough, but the offwhite translucent fatty mass that clings to the intestines and the sad grey sac included in the mix are foreign to you. the top shelf holds several organs you don't recognize as well - a yellowish-gray waxy lump in a vaguely phallic shape and a small red orb , both of which are suspended in the same jar of pale yellowish fluid and appear to connect back to the same fleshy duct. they twitch occasionally, but are otherwise motionless. another top shelf organ you identify as the liver. it has no special setup, simply laying flat on the shelf, but is nonetheless connected in several places and seems to be functioning normally, especially as you can see some sort of dirty yellow-brown liquid dripping out of it through a plastic tube and into a large, clear bottle that you're pretty sure was a mayo bottle at some point in its past. finally, two large cooking pots are gently simmering over a large camping stove, connected to the rest of the mess of tubes, ducts, veins, and flesh. one of the pots has a lid on, leaving you unable to see what's inside of it. the other is about half-full of an off-white, slightly meaty substance.

in the center of the mess sits the girl you're here to see. you've exchanged both lewd and non-lewd images before, so you recognize her well enough, though you haven't seen her in these clothes before. if you can call them that. she's wearing simple black panties, a pair of light grey ankle-height socks, a deeply stained apron with a heart and a KISS THE COOK on it (though somebody has taken a maroon fabric marker, crossed out COOK, and written SURGEON below it), a pair of yellow rubber dishwashing gloves, and nothing else. her legs have a thin covering of hair, as if she shaved four or five days ago and it's starting to grow back but she hasn't had the energy to shave it again. her wavy blond hair is unkempt, and she makes no effort to tie it back. this is somewhat concerning, as she currently sits hunched over the dismembered man on the couch, her hands inside of his open body cavity. her hair hangs around her face, the ends of it matted and dirty with blood and other fluids.

the man you thought was either sleeping or dead opens his eyes and turns to look at you, silent, a look of blank curiosity on his face.

she stands and turns to you. she looks like she hasn't slept in five weeks. there are track marks on her left arm. she extends a blood-soaked glove for you to shake. you take it, dazed. she says hey, nice to finally meet you in person. im riley. doctor riley grace davis MDE. you say nice to meet you too. she says sorry that theres not space on the sofa here. when she draws her hand back to gesture you wipe the blood off on your pants as best you can. she says do you want to sit at the kitchen table or go straight to the bedroom? you say um. you say sorry if this is rude but who is that? she says one of my clients. you say clients? she says yeah. you both look at each other for a moment. you say uh, sorry, what is it you do exactly? she says did it never come up? you say no. she says oh. she says sorry im used to people having heard of me, guess i forgot to mention. you say its fine. she says im a plastic surgeon.

you glance at the man with his organs spread out across the cart. you say that looks like a little bit more than plastic surgery. she says im very talented. you say isn't plastic surgery minimally invasive? im very talented, she repeats. come on into the kitchen, she says, turning to lead the way. you say uh, is it okay to leave him like that? she says yeah. you say isnt he going to bleed out? she says trust me, i'm a doctor. as she heads through the door she reaches one gloved hand to tap a frame on the wall. a smudge of blood is left behind on the glass. you look at the frame.

The assembled medical staff, Thinker-class parahumans, and administrative staff of the Parahuman Response Team East-Northeast, in cooperation with the governance of New Brockton on Earth Gimel, confer on RILEY GRACE DAVIS-LAVERE the degree of MEDICAL DOCTORATE EQUIVALENCY for recognition of medical knowledge and talent conferred by a parahuman ability, evaluated and classified as Tinker 8, as well as for the demonstration of excellence in prior practice of medicine and the use of that parahuman ability to complete an assessment of medical knowledge and talent agreed upon by PRT staff.

you follow her into the kitchen. in the time it took you to read her doctorate, she has apparently doffed both the apron and the gloves, which now sit on a pile in the floor. she holds out a bottle to you as you join her at the table. it's a green glass bottle with no label. what is this, you ask. beer she says. she says i made it myself. you take a terrified sip. it tastes amazing.

you are acutely aware of the fact that she is now topless. my eyes are up here she says. you say sorry, but she's grinning lecherously. she says you like'em that much? you say honestly i was stuck on how different you look from your pictures. she says wow, rude. you say i didn't mean it like that. she says how did you mean it? you take a second to collect your thoughts. you say your boobs are at least 50% larger in person. she says puberty is a magical thing. you say puberty? she says yup. you say how old are you? she says don't you know how to talk to a lady? you say absolutely nothing about this visit has led me to believe you're a lady. she laughs. you have no idea how to label the sound of her laugh in your mind. it would almost be a cackle if it didn't degenerate into a giggle. she says you wanna know how old i am? you say yes. she says me too, kid. you say what year were you born? she says 1998. you say okay, so- she raises a finger to stop you from talking. she drains her beer, then slams it down and starts talking very fast.

born in 1998, triggered and stopped aging mentally in 2005, went on puberty blockers in 2010, started aging mentally again in 2011, went off puberty blockers in 2012, undid my puberty and went back ON puberty blockers in 2013, then all of my self-modifications were undone also in 2013, and i dont know what else in my body changed at the same time, went off puberty blockers again in 2014, or 1 GM if you use that calendar, i dont because thats stupid but just in case, aged fairly normally until 2023, then undid my puberty again because i was scared, aged normally until 2029, and from then on my Amy and i have theseus shipped me about twenty times over because staying the same is boring. so yeah. the paperwork says i'm 38, let's go with that.

you dont know how to respond to that. to any of that. she gets up and says sorry, ill be back in a second. she leaves the room. you take another sip of the beer. you don't like beer. how the fuck does this taste so good? you glance around the kitchen a bit, not getting up. it's clean in the sort of way that indicates it doesn't see much use. the only thing that has clearly been used frequently is the microwave, which you can tell from here has probably never been cleaned since she bought it. at least the lack of mess means there's probably no mouse, rat, or ant problem. in here, at least. you vaguely wonder if the bloody, dying man in the other room would attract vermin.

she returns, shrugging on a filthy grey hooded sweatshirt and carrying a small case. she says sorry, room gets cold as balls sometimes. dont usually notice it while im working. she grabs another beer out of the fridge, then sits down and pulls a rolled cigarette out of the case. she pulls an old zippo out of the sweatshirt's front pocket, lights it, and starts puffing. it doesn't smell like nicotine or marijuana. want one, she asks. you say what are they. she says salvia mostly. she says bit of kratom to mellow it, but mostly salvia. are those safe to use together you ask. especially while drinking. she pauses. she says fuck, iunno. id hardly notice at this point if i started to OD. pretty sure im good enough to fix it if i do. fix it you ask. she says yeah. how you ask. she says im a doctor. damn good one too, she says. you say arent you a plastic surgeon. she says im a lot of things.

she says sure you don't want it? you seem tense. you say uh, ive never really been high before, don't want to start with untested interactions, no offense. she says none taken. she says youre drinking, though, that counts. you say im drinking but ive never really been drunk. she says wanna fix that? you say im good. she says good. she says being drunk sucks. she says worst depressant there is, just use tranquilizers if you want to start acting like an idiot and forget it all the next day. you say i didn't know you were so into this, um, scene, i guess? she squints at you. she says are you a cop? you say no. she says cause you're being awkward and simultaneously pretending you know and don't know what you're talking about and that's what a cop does. you say i'm not a cop. she says none of this is illegal. she says all this shit falls under the realm of reasonable materials for her research. you say i SWEAR im not a cop. she says and jeff in the living room there signed the consent forms and waivers before i started doing that shit to him. you say if i were a cop i would be given better training on handling this situation than just repeatedly saying im not a cop.

she says if youre not a cop why are you so fucking tense? she says calm the fuck down. you say um. she says you were so casual over text, thought we had good chemistry. you say we did. she says so whats got you like this? is it cause ive got a client? you start to answer her but she keeps talking. she says sorry about that, really. she says it was supposed to be a simple body swap job, organs out, couple changes, organs in, but dude keeps asking for more and more weird shit until somehow the plan has changed to him floating inside of a translucent biological skin suspended in a mix of lympatic fluid and vitreous jelly. you say what?? she says and i got no problem with that, but it means im gonna need a fuckton more meat than i thought i did when i started, and its gotta match him or his antibodies are gonna fuck him UP, so now im working his stem cells and bone marrow overtime to cook me up all the shit i need, meanwhile hes on life support and all this equipment is so esoteric i gotta babysit it the whole time, so i can't get away like we planned. again sorry about that she says.

you say its fine, i just didnt know what your job was. you say caught me off guard coming in and seeing a guy opened up like that. for a second started wondering if i was next. you laugh awkwardly. she does not laugh. she smokes a little more without saying anything. the silence goes on an uncomfortably long time.

she says do you want to be?

you say what? she says dates get discounts on ops, especially if its something hot or something simple. im really fucking talented too she says. she says you saw the state jeffs in and hes still alive and well. so cmon, anything you want? you say um. she says cmon, dont get shy now, tell me! you weren't scared to talk about kinks online. you say well there is one thing, not a body mod exactly but something that wouldn't be possible to do under normal circumstances. she says out with it, grinning wolfishly. you say im, uh, kind of into woundfucking.

she takes another gulp of her beer. she says god, who the fuck isn't? she says i'll never understand why that isnt a more common thing. seeing somebody as so much of an object that youd put a new hole into them just for your own fun. or alternatively, loving someone so much that you need to feel what it's like inside every part of them, need to connect with their muscle and blood just as much as you do the rest of them. fuck, it's delicious, she says, her grin stretching unnaturally wide, like a Glasgow smile that opened to reveal more teeth and gums. you have never felt more afraid. you have never felt more turned on.

you top or bottom, she asks. bottom you answer. good, she says, cause i've been wondering what you would look like screaming this whole time. your eyes widen. she downs the rest of her beer and stands up, grabbing your arm and yanking you up as she does so. she says cmon. you follow her, if only because when she pulls at you you briefly feel she may have the strength to tear your arm from its socket.

you pass through the living room. she shouts out yo, jeff. the unseamed man opens his eyes and looks at you. you cant read his expression. she says im gonna be busy in the next room for a couple hours. if you start dying, she says, slam your head into this. she grabs what looks like a game show buzzer off of a bookshelf covered in junk and sets it on the couch next to his head. she says should be loud enough for me to hear from the bedroom and come get you stabilized. blink twice if you got that. he blinks twice. she says cool, later. she pulls you through another nearby door and slams it closed behind her.

her bedroom is a confusing mix of the junk and grime you saw in the other room with a shockingly pristine bed. her clothes are strewn about the floor and the walk-in closet, with no organizational system you can discern, not even between clean and dirty. in fact, you wouldn't have called any of these clothes clean. she opens the cabinet under the bedside table, pulls out a huge roll of plastic sheeting, and covers the bed. ah. that explains it.

is this a dexter reference, or... you say, trailing off. she laughs again. what the fuck is that laugh? she says my amy got frustrated having to clean the sheets literally all the time so now i just do this instead. you say er, whos amy. she looks at you like youve lost your mind, a hypothesis you cannot disprove as you think on the situation. my wife, she says. wife you ask? she says fuck, did i not mention this either? shit, fuck, goddamnit. she says ive been married for three years. you say uhhhhhhhh. she says oh dont worry she knows! shes cool the relationships open. uh, unless YOURE not comfortable with me being poly, i guess. fuck i couldve sworn i mentioned this, she says. its not a problem you say. she says you wanna keep going? you say yeah. she says good.

she heads into the walk-in closet, grabbing a three-tiered cart from under a shelf and starting to wheel it to the bed. allergies, she asks? oxybenzone, you say. she says well im not planning to inject any fucking sunscreen into you, so i dont think thats relevant. you say look i dont know how any of this works, better safe than sorry. she says dont worry, you're always safe with me. AND im going to make you sorry, she says. she giggles before she stomps on a toggle on the cart that locks the wheels. you get a look at this cart and see that it has a collection of medical and not-so-medical implements, with the middle shelf appearing to contain various bottles, jars, and tubs of what you hope are medicines while the top shelf holds needles, sutures, scalpels, saws, scissors, and almost any kind of tool you can think of that holds a blade, from bread knives to x-actos. the bottom shelf has a large circular saw and a rusted chainsaw.

traffic light system for safety checks, she asks? you say yeah. cool she says. she pushes you onto the bed, the plastic crinkling as your head hits the pillow and you fall on your back. she sits on top of you, straddling your lap, holding your hands over your head by the wrist with one hand. she's freakishly strong, far moreso than her spindly limbs should allow. she takes the cigarette out of her mouth. you swallow. your eyes flick to it. you say sorry, can you, um... she grabs your neck, interrupting your speech and yanking your head forward. she leans down, spits on your cheek, and shoves the lit end of the cigarette against the same spot. the saliva buffers it slightly, but the burning feeling is still intense, a pain that rides through several seconds as she presses the cigarette into flesh. you hear yourself whining at the pain.

she flicks the now-extinguished cigarette aside and kisses you. it tastes like blood and morning breath and ash. she picks up one of the scalpels. in stark contrast to the rest of her home, each and every one of the tools is in sparkling pristine condition. she toys with the scalpel as she looks you up and down. you have any experience with being cut into, she asks? you say huh?, taking some time to process. oh, you say. um not really you say. never done cutting during play before and my only surgeries have been dental when i was a lot younger. she says no problem. she says im only gonna dull your pain a little, but let me know if i need to adjust sensation up or down. you nod breathlessly. she angles the scalpel and cuts through the front of your shirt, a swift motion that leaves the tip of the blade an inch or two from your neck. you recoil on instinct and she giggles again, pulling the knife back and moving the fabric of your shirt aside. she takes one of the smaller jars from the cart and dips two fingers in it, the scalpel dancing in her fingers as she does so, like a bored baton twirler doing pen tricks. the paste is bright pink, and she rubs it into the flesh of your upper stomach. you feel your nerves start to tingle slightly as she finishes.

she fills a syringe with something pastel red. placing her hand against the numbed area of your stomach, she spread her fingers, guiding the needle between two of them to hold it steady. you watch the point of the needle break skin, feel it sinking through your flesh. she depresses the plunger slowly. you exhale as she removes the needle. gooood toy, she says softly. your breath hitches at the praise and she smirks. she presses the scalpel to your skin, but doesn't start to cut. color, she asks? you say green. she smiles. she says making the incision.

the feeling of blade breaking skin isn't the sort of jarring penetration you thought it would be. the transition between the scratching pain of the scalpel against your skin to the actual slicing sensation is gradual, and you're not certain you could have pinpointed the moment if you weren't watching. you find yourself gritting your teeth, your jaw clenching involuntarily as your body tries not to vocalize the pain. it isn't intense, but it's persistent and deliberate in a way that doesn't match what you think pain should feel like.

riley is more energetic than youve seen her this whole time. she starts to hum happily to herself, cutting through your skin and flesh. the incision is vertical, two inches long and ending about an inch and a half above your belly button. she retrieves a pair of those metal clamps surgeons use to hold the incision open during surgery. you don't know what those are called. maybe you should ask her. you think that would kill the mood. you'll ask her after. she inserts them into the incision, adjusting the tension so that they spread it open about an inch. she notices you looking. she says you don't need to watch if it makes you squeamish, pet. you swallow hard. you say i want to watch. she giggles.

you lose track of time, watching her work. she wields the tools with a grace, precision, and speed you didn't think was possible. the blood wells out as she does so, flecks of it flying when she moves too frenetically, adding to the stains on her hoodie. it covers the ends of her fingers, drops trailing down to paint their streaks further down her hands and arms, like candle wax melting. your blood. her hands. you feel slightly faint, and you don't know if it's from arousal or bloodloss. the pain is constant, but still sharp enough not to ache. you breath shallowly, occasionally whimpering or letting your breath hitch as the scalpel catches flesh. for the most part, neither of you speak, though from time to time she gives soft praise, her voice warm and comforting as she assures you of how sweet and well-behaved you're being.

she isn't just making a hole. you don't know exactly what she's doing, but it's not just cutting. the needle and thread flash in her hands from time to time, and you can feel the muscle and fat in your torso being stretched and pulled, split and joined in new ways. your angle of view prevents you from seeing the operating area, to your dismay, and at times you almost speak up and ask if you could reposition so you could watch better - but you know you can't. it's not your place to ask anything of her. she's the one in charge.

still, you wish you could see. she described herself as a plastic surgeon earlier, but her movements don't match that description. it is not the slow, precise, micro-motion of a surgeon; her body language is free and expressive, passionate in a way that reveals her true nature. she is an artist, her chosen medium skin and meat, the tools of her craft surgical by their raw nature but not in the way she wields them. the blood-covered flesh, the sinew and fat held beneath your skin and even the skin itself are only the raw material with which she crafts her magnum opus. a sculptor of a living body, like a leatherworker or carver of bone taken to the logical conclusion.

she pulls off her sweatshirt, a sheen of perspiration covering her skin. your eyes are glued to her bare form. she notices you staring and flashes a predatory grin. aw, someone likes watching, huh? she says. you nod dumbly, and she chuckles. stupid little pile of meat, she says, affection in her voice. you think you might be in love. you cannot tear your eyes from her, though she evidently does not mind the attention as she returns to her work.

your gaze is not lustful, though doubtlessly lust is the predominant feeling in you. your focus is drawn to her through fascination and adoration, not arousal. you study her curves, the hair of her stomach, the dullling red stretch marks that frame her chest and gut and streak across her thighs, because this is the body of the woman who is recreating you. is this not the same as knowing the form of the god who shaped you in his image?

no, it is something different from that. this is not the god who made adam in his image but the god who knew man would need a companion, and shaped one from a rib torn from the body of his creation. a divinity that does not create from whole cloth but rends meat and bone until its craft is complete. a godly vulture, a being that tears its hooks into the carcass of the universe and pulls free a dried, gristly tendon, granting importance to that which exists but lied bound beneath the surface of the skin, out of sight, out of mind, waiting to ooze its way free from this veil of vellum. the perfected form of imperfection. the blood is drying in her filthy, matted hair. she takes a pill bottle from the cart, pours out a handful, and swallows them without water before returning to the frenzied stitching of your adipose tissues.

what must be hours later, she sits up and wipes the sweat from her brow, smearing your blood across it at the same time. she wipes more of the blood onto her thighs, apparently to clean her hands, though they are still caked with grime and gore. think its done, she says. she says anesthetic should be wearing off too. she sets the scalpel down and leans over you. she's right; you feel the sensation returning to the area she's operated on in full force. she lays on her side next to you, head propped up on her hand, her other arm draped across your body, cheshire smile on her face. you feel her fingertips lazily trace the edges of the gash before she slides one in.

how do you describe the sensation? what does it really feel like for something to work its way between the folds of your muscle, for subcutaneous fat and flesh to be pressed aside, molded, to make way for the penetrating presence of another? the pain is omnipresent, but not overwhelming as you expected it would be. the flesh holds sensation deeper than you thought it would as well - several inches beneath your skin, you can feel her fingers hook inside of you. you can't tell how much of the pleasure is physical and how much is psychological, but it is there, and it is overwhelming. you tense in response to it, moaning, and the tension causes your muscles to clench, sliding against her fingers, bringing sensation to new parts of your abdomen. the feedback loop overwhelms you, and you feel a disappointed whine escape you as her finger leaves the hole.

she giggles. so needy, she says. she says guess i did make you pretty sensitive, huh? you whimper in response. she says don't worry, i won't leave you empty too long. she moves, sitting on your lap, pulling the panties off as she does so. her dick flops out over your stomach. it is roughly human in shape, and on the larger end of normal human size, but its appearance throws you for a loop. it is stitched together, frankensteinian in construction, without even a consistent skin color. she notices you looking. you like it she asks? she says sort of had to bodge it together pretty quick, don't put nearly as much effort into my own body as i do others. she says amy could do better. you are far too horny to consider the implications of any of that. you whine, straining upwards to press the wound towards the tip of her cock. she laughs. good toy, she says.

she sighs deeply as she forces herself inside of you. ffffffffffuck, that's good, she says. your core muscles shift around her, flexing to squeeze her cock as she sinks it in, hilting inside of the hole. you moan, your hands coming up reflexively to cover your face in some act of shame or modesty which is at this point thoroughly meaningless. she pulls back out slowly, her cock glistening with your blood, before slamming back into you, new parts of your abdomen being forced aside to accommodate her. you think she is pressing against organs now. you desperately want her deeper.

she pulls your hands away from your face with one hand, and with the other shoves the finger that she had previously used to explore the laceration into your mouth. you suckle at it thoughtlessly as she rolls her hips, the tip of her dick forcing itself into your abdominal cavity. the taste of blood and sweat and dirt linger on your tongue. she starts thrusting hard, the repeated slamming of her cockhead against the parts of you that were never meant to be touched the only thing you can think about. it hurts. oh god, it hurts, and it feels so much better than anything you've ever felt. damn that's a good hole, she says. you don't say anything. she takes the finger out of your mouth. color, she asks? it takes you a second to connect the thought. green, you say. she says thank god. can i come in you she asks. you nod stupidly, your mouth still open from her finger being pulled out. she giggles.

she grabs your chin, tilts your head up, and presses her lips against you. she tastes like morning breath and your blood. it's delicious. you wrap your arms around her as she forces herself in and out of the gaping, bleeding wound in your stomach. she's so close to you, her whole body pressed against you as that massive, unnatural cock digs into your blood and muscle and guts. she doesn't smell like she knows what a shower is. she is practically laying on top of you. you can't think. your wrap your legs around her too.

she groans in your ear as she slams herself balls deep into the gash again. your insides are flooded with her cum. your own orgasm forces your core muscles to clench, tightening and sliding around her length, unintentionally milking her cock into you. she pulls out, laying the dick slick with blood, sweat, and cum across your stomach, as she pants. she rolls off of you, laying in bed beside you. unthinking, you turn onto your side and press your body against her. she wraps her arms around you and kisses you again.

you hear the sound of thrashing from the other room, followed by a cartoon buzzer sound effect, and then what sounds like the seinfeld jingle starts to play. she jumps to her feet. god fucking damnit, jeff, she says. she says i'll be right back as she crosses the room at a run, slamming the door behind her. the wound in your stomach is still bleeding. you have no idea how to process anything that just happened.

Did I ever go over Riley's apartment? It's a nice, kind of small place on the third floor of a building in Washington Square West (a nice enough neighborhood, conveniently gay friendly, less conveniently mlm focused, but you can't have everything). It's where she and her mother lived for most of her adolescence, so when mom passed away, it made sense for her to take on the lease, keeping its grandfathered rate. It's a standard one-floor unit, characterized by dark colors, hardwood, a balcony, and a window-mounted air conditioning unit. Nice, but nothing incredibly expensive. The apartment door spits out into a cramped foyer with a closet to the right and chair to the left. It opens out into a reasonably spacious kitchen connecting out to a living room, with three doors leading out to her bedroom, spare bedroom / workshop, and bathroom. Art on the walls varies between remnants of her mother's design tastes and gifts from starving artist friends who didn't quite grasp that they'd already paid for Riley's generous dinners.

The place has been warded heavily, the lion's share of her magical use in general. It's an iteration on reinforcement magic -- physically carving magic into the baseboards of the house, creating a spiritual barrier that forcefully rejects the unwelcome. If you don't have the specific code phrase or enchanted key in hand when you enter the house, you'll be repelled out -- and given that her door faces a brick wall, this is generally unpleasant. (Yes, her landlord's key has been enchanted to avoid accidentally maiming her.) It's less intended to permanently maim so much as it is to stall, maybe injure, and give Riley the time to prepare for an intrusion.

Her bedroom's kept in reasonable cleanly order, given the regularity of inviting guests there. A firm bed always left three-fourths made, a small desk with plants, a dresser, a hamper...maybe a stuffed animal or two with nostalgic value. Her bedside drawer always has an unopened water bottle on top, a condom or two and a hairband within.

Riley's converted the spare bedroom into a workshop, her clean room for magical horseshit. (The rest of the place is strictly and purposefully normal-looking, with the workshop kept locked when guests are over). It's got a manufactured magic circle that she can activate from the inside with a lever built into the floor, engraving tools, a little workstation for making her 'anti-everything' water balloons. A two-tiered bookshelf, divided into definitely working tomes, and those that she's not sure of. The latter shelf is, naturally, more filled.

Even a grow light and a small plastic greenhouse that works to grow a few mildly magical plants -- ones that don't require the actual sun. The ones that do are leaning up against the glass of her balcony door, flanked by altogether less supernatural herbs. (The rosemary keeps trying to butt in on the sea holly, it's annoying.) The plants include henbane, yarrow, rue, aconite, nightshade, vervain, mugwort, absinthium, onion root... The poisonous ones, like henbane, are kept in their own mini-dividers in the greenhouse, as is something she's been told is moly but doesn't quite trust.

Finally, there's two plant buckets out on the balcony. One with completely mundane hot peppers, and the other with lady's mantle growing, shamed for its propensity to spread and choke out the other plants. Alright, fine, her balcony is primarily plants -- she doesn't feel comfortable staying out there for long. Sniper rifles.

And there's her roommates.

There's her familiar, Whiskey. Riley's not certain if this is the case for all familiars, or if it's a case of synchronicity, but as it turns out, she's not in a dissimilar food situation. If she's not helping someone make magic, she starves. Her former magician had died unexpectedly, leaving the familiar in a lousy spot. A bleeding heart, Riley couldn't let her go hungry, so they've been together (but not together (okay, they kiss a little)) for about a year. She's able to switch between feline and human forms at will, and has no particular preference for either, but usually lounges around as a cat unless she needs thumbs or a voice box. If Riley's any good at a spell, it's likely that she learned it from Whiskey.

She's also got a dog, that she met when a very bad would-be demon summoner beckoned it and then Riley. Riley reckons it must be somewhat Weird or else it wouldn't have the kind of true name fragments to be summoned, but she can't sus out the specifics. For all the world, it's just a somewhat fat, lazy pariah dog, that knows hand signals but not spoken ones. (Alright, it's fat because she spoils it.) It uses the litter box and has done so without being trained, so that's cool. It's maybe 4 or so? Didn't have a microchip or a collar. Riley calls it Spot.

#i dont know why i insisted on the dog being agender. i guess riley just never looked #(ooc.)

What Are the Risks and Benefits of Getting a Hair Transplant in Turkey vs. the UK?

Deciding to undergo a hair transplant is a major step, and for many, choosing the right location is crucial to achieving the desired results. The UK and Turkey are two popular destinations for hair transplants, each offering unique advantages and some potential risks. Understanding the pros and cons of each can help you make an informed decision. Here’s an in-depth look at the benefits and risks associated with hair transplants in Turkey compared to the UK.

1. Cost Differences: UK vs. Turkey

When comparing costs, hair transplant UK cost vs Turkey shows a significant difference. In the UK, prices for hair transplants typically range between £5,000 and £15,000, depending on the number of grafts and the clinic. These higher costs are often attributed to strict regulations, quality control, and high operational expenses.

In Turkey, however, hair transplants are notably more affordable, with prices generally between £1,500 and £4,000. Turkey’s lower operational expenses, combined with a highly competitive hair restoration industry, have made it a global hub for affordable hair transplants. This price difference allows patients on a budget to access high-quality hair restoration services, provided they select a reputable clinic.

Risk: While Turkey offers lower prices, some clinics may cut corners to keep costs down, leading to a risk of subpar quality or compromised patient care. It’s essential to thoroughly research Turkish clinics, especially if they advertise extremely low prices.

Benefit: For patients who are budget-conscious, Turkey provides an opportunity to undergo a high-quality procedure at a fraction of the cost in the UK. Many Turkish clinics offer all-inclusive packages covering flights, accommodation, and post-op care, making it a convenient choice for international patients.

2. Surgeons’ Expertise and Clinic Standards

In the UK, clinics must meet strict regulations and quality standards, often with surgeons who have specific qualifications in dermatology, plastic surgery, or hair restoration. This adherence to professional standards is ensured by bodies like the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery (BAHRS) or the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which promote patient safety and best practices in surgical procedures.

Turkey, on the other hand, is known for a high volume of hair transplants, with many clinics and surgeons specializing exclusively in this area. While many Turkish surgeons are highly experienced, the healthcare regulation system is more lenient compared to the UK. Thus, while top-tier Turkish clinics maintain exceptional quality, there is a range of standards across clinics in Turkey.

Risk: Patients may encounter variability in surgeon qualifications and clinic standards in Turkey. Clinics with less-experienced surgeons or lax quality control measures could result in inconsistent results.

Benefit: Turkey’s focus on hair transplants means many clinics employ highly skilled, specialized surgeons who have performed thousands of procedures. In the UK, the regulatory standards add an extra layer of assurance, particularly for those who value stringent quality control.

3. Patient Volume and Personalization of Care

UK clinics often limit the number of patients they see each day to ensure personalized attention and high-quality care. With lower patient volumes, patients benefit from one-on-one consultations, individualized treatment plans, and detailed post-operative support. This approach aligns with the higher costs associated with UK clinics, as patients receive attentive care throughout the process.

Turkey, due to its popularity and affordability, generally treats more patients daily. Some clinics may handle 20 to 30 patients in a single day, focusing on efficiency and providing lower-cost packages. While this allows for cost savings, high patient volume can sometimes reduce the level of personalization patients receive. That said, many top-tier clinics in Turkey limit daily patient numbers to ensure quality.

Risk: High patient volumes at some Turkish clinics may lead to less personalized care, as doctors and medical teams have limited time for each patient.

Benefit: In both the UK and Turkey, choosing a reputable clinic that prioritizes individualized attention and lower patient volumes can mitigate this risk. Turkish clinics with small patient groups still offer personalized care at a more affordable price point.

4. Aftercare and Follow-Up Support

Aftercare is a critical aspect of hair transplant success, affecting healing and the final outcome. UK clinics often offer comprehensive aftercare services, including regular follow-ups, post-op care consultations, and accessible support for any questions or complications that may arise during the recovery period.

Turkish clinics provide detailed aftercare instructions, and many high-quality clinics offer post-op services in collaboration with international partners or through telemedicine. However, follow-up appointments after returning home may be limited unless the patient arranges for additional care locally.

Risk: For patients traveling from the UK to Turkey, aftercare support might be less accessible once they return home, particularly if the clinic does not offer international post-op services.

Benefit: UK patients who select a Turkish clinic offering thorough post-op instructions, and potentially telemedicine follow-up options, can still achieve successful aftercare. Some Turkish clinics even offer partnerships with UK-based providers to support aftercare needs.

5. Potential Language Barriers and Communication

In the UK, all communication, from the initial consultation to post-op instructions, is conducted in English. This ensures that patients fully understand the procedure, risks, and aftercare requirements, which can reduce anxiety and promote a more transparent experience.

In Turkey, most reputable clinics are accustomed to international patients and provide multilingual staff or translators, particularly for English-speaking patients. However, some patients may encounter communication issues, especially in clinics without dedicated English-speaking coordinators.

Risk: Language barriers could impact the patient’s understanding of the procedure and aftercare if the clinic does not provide adequate translation services.

Benefit: By selecting a clinic in Turkey that offers English-speaking support staff, patients can ensure clear communication throughout the process, from consultation to aftercare.

6. Results and Quality of Outcomes

The ultimate goal of a hair transplant is a natural, long-lasting result. Both UK and Turkish clinics are capable of delivering excellent outcomes, provided they are well-established and employ experienced surgeons. In the UK, high regulatory standards and patient-focused care can contribute to a higher likelihood of consistent, high-quality results.

Turkish clinics, particularly those with experienced teams and advanced technology, also achieve excellent results. Many clinics in Turkey specialize exclusively in hair transplants, leading to well-honed skills and advanced techniques. However, the wide range of clinic quality in Turkey means outcomes can vary more significantly than in the UK.

Risk: Selecting a low-cost or high-volume clinic in Turkey could lead to lower-quality outcomes, including issues like unnatural hairlines or uneven graft placement.

Benefit: Choosing a reputable clinic, regardless of location, with a proven track record and qualified surgeons can yield high-quality, natural-looking results. Turkish clinics with specialized expertise in hair transplants often achieve exceptional results at a more affordable price than UK clinics.

Making an Informed Decision

When it comes to deciding between a hair transplant in the UK or Turkey, both options have their distinct benefits and potential risks.

- Choose the UK if you value strict regulation, consistent post-op support, and high-quality personalization. The higher cost reflects the quality standards, experienced staff, and stringent healthcare requirements, making it a suitable choice for those who prioritize these factors.

- Choose Turkey if you seek an affordable yet high-quality option, and are comfortable researching clinics to find one with a reputation for quality and personalized care. By selecting a well-established Turkish clinic that specializes in hair restoration, patients can benefit from expert care without the high price tag typically associated with UK procedures.

Conclusion: The choice between a UK and Turkey hair transplant ultimately depends on your priorities in cost, care, and support. With careful consideration of the pros and cons of each option, and a focus on selecting a reputable clinic, you can confidently make a decision that best aligns with your needs and expectations.

Why Invest in Better-Quality High-Pressure Plastic Pipe?

When choosing piping solutions for high-pressure applications, the quality of the materials used is the most important consideration. In such a scenario, high pressure plastic pipes, designed to handle the stress of intense water flow and other high-pressure fluids, make the right choice. Therefore, investing in better-quality high-pressure plastic pipes helps ensure the integrity and longevity of your plumbing systems.

Choosing these pipes comes with the following advantages:

Durability and Reliability

High-quality high pressure plastic pipes are manufactured to withstand the rigorous demands of high-pressure environments. They are less prone to cracks, leaks, and bursts, which can lead to costly repairs and damage to property. Reliable pipes mean fewer interruptions to service and peace of mind knowing that the infrastructure is robust and dependable.

Improved Performance

The performance of your plumbing system largely depends on the quality of its components. High pressure PVC pipe fittings, for instance, provide superior performance by ensuring secure and leak-proof connections. Better-quality pipes also offer enhanced flow efficiency, reducing the chances of blockages and maintaining optimal water pressure throughout the system.

Cost-Effectiveness in the Long Run

While high-quality high pressure plastic pipes might come with a higher initial cost, they prove to be more cost-effective in the long run. Their durability reduces the frequency of replacements and repairs, saving both time and money. Moreover, investing in top-tier materials mitigates the risk of catastrophic failures that could incur significant financial losses.

Resistance to Corrosion and Chemical Reactions

One of the critical advantages of high-quality plastic pipes is their resistance to corrosion and chemical reactions. Unlike metal pipes, high pressure plastic pipes do not rust, ensuring that the water quality remains uncontaminated. This corrosion resistance also extends the lifespan of the pipes, making them a more sustainable choice for high-pressure applications.

Ease of Installation

High pressure plastic pipes are generally lighter and easier to install compared to their metal counterparts. High pressure PVC pipe fittings are designed for straightforward assembly, which reduces labor costs and installation time. This ease of installation does not compromise on the system's overall strength and reliability, making them an attractive choice for contractors and engineers.

Environmental Considerations

High-quality high pressure plastic pipes contribute to environmental sustainability. They are often made from recyclable materials and have a lower carbon footprint during production and transportation. By choosing high-quality options, you not only ensure the efficiency and safety of your plumbing system but also support environmentally responsible practices.

The Wavin Advantage

When it comes to high-pressure plastic pipes, Wavin stands out as a leader in the industry. Known for their commitment to quality and innovation, Wavin offers a range of high pressure PVC pipe fittings designed to meet the most demanding specifications. Their products are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance and durability.

With Wavin, you can be confident that you are investing in the best for your plumbing needs.

A Comprehensive Guide to IUD Copper T: The Ultimate Birth Control Solution by Smb Corpn

In today’s world, choosing the right birth control method is crucial for women who want to maintain control over their reproductive health. Among the numerous options available, the IUD Copper T stands out as one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions. In this blog, we will explore the benefits, functionality, and everything you need to know about the IUD Copper T, brought to you by Smb Corpn, a leading provider of high-quality medical devices.

What is an IUD Copper T?

The IUD Copper T is a small, T-shaped device made of copper and plastic that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is a highly effective, hormone-free method of contraception that can last for up to 10 years. Smb Corpn offers high-grade IUD Copper T devices that ensure both safety and comfort for women seeking long-term birth control options.

How Does the IUD Copper T Work?

The IUD Copper T works by releasing small amounts of copper into the uterus. Copper is toxic to sperm, making it difficult for them to survive or reach the egg. This prevents fertilization, offering reliable protection against pregnancy. With Smb Corpn’s high-quality IUD Copper T, you can trust that this method will give you peace of mind and freedom without daily pills or frequent doctor visits.

Benefits of Using an IUD Copper T

Long-Lasting Protection: One of the major advantages of the IUD Copper T is its longevity. Once inserted, it can provide protection for up to 10 years.

Hormone-Free: Unlike many other birth control options, the IUD Copper T is hormone-free, making it an ideal choice for women who want to avoid hormonal side effects such as mood swings or weight gain.

Highly Effective: With a success rate of over 99%, the IUD Copper T is one of the most effective birth control methods available.

Reversible: If you decide to conceive, the IUD can be easily removed, and fertility is typically restored immediately.

Cost-Effective: Since the IUD Copper T lasts for up to a decade, it is a cost-effective solution compared to other temporary forms of contraception.

Why Choose Smb Corpn for Your IUD Copper T?

At Smb Corpn, we prioritize quality, safety, and the well-being of our clients. Our IUD Copper T products are made with the highest industry standards, ensuring that you receive a reliable and safe device for your contraception needs. We understand that selecting a birth control method is a deeply personal decision, and we are committed to offering top-tier medical solutions to support your reproductive health journey.

How is the IUD Copper T Inserted?

The insertion process is relatively simple and quick. A healthcare professional will place the IUD Copper T in your uterus during a routine appointment. While the procedure may cause mild discomfort, it only takes a few minutes, and the long-term benefits far outweigh the temporary discomfort. After the insertion, you may experience light cramping or spotting, but this typically subsides within a few days.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Like all contraceptive methods, the IUD Copper T may cause some side effects. These can include heavier periods, cramping, or spotting between periods, especially during the first few months of use. However, these effects usually diminish over time. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure the IUD Copper T is the right fit for your body and lifestyle.

Conclusion

If you're looking for a reliable, long-lasting, and hormone-free birth control option, the IUD Copper T from Smb Corpn could be the perfect solution for you. With its high effectiveness and minimal maintenance, it offers peace of mind and freedom. Take control of your reproductive health with Smb Corpn's trusted IUD Copper T products, and consult your healthcare provider to discuss your options.

The Rise of Plastic Surgery in Qatar: Trends and Insights

In recent years, plastic surgery has seen a significant rise in popularity across the globe, and Qatar is no exception. The small but affluent nation is becoming a hotspot for advanced cosmetic procedures, with an increasing number of people opting for both surgical and non-surgical enhancements. The trend is driven by a mix of cultural factors, increasing awareness, and the availability of world-class medical facilities. This blog explores the reasons behind the rise of plastic surgery in Qatar, the most sought-after procedures, and what the future holds for this rapidly growing industry.

The Growing Popularity of Plastic Surgery in Qatar

Plastic surgery in Qatar has moved from being a taboo subject to a widely accepted practice. The shift in perception is partly due to the influence of social media, where images of flawless beauty set high aesthetic standards. People, especially the younger generation, are increasingly turning to cosmetic procedures to achieve their desired look.

The economic prosperity of Qatar has also contributed to the rise in plastic surgery. With a high standard of living, many residents have disposable income to spend on luxury services, including cosmetic enhancements. Additionally, the influx of highly skilled surgeons and state-of-the-art clinics in Qatar has made it easier for residents to access top-tier plastic surgery services without having to travel abroad.

Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures in Qatar

As the demand for cosmetic procedures grows, certain surgeries have emerged as particularly popular in Qatar. Some of the most sought-after procedures include:

Rhinoplasty: Nose reshaping, or rhinoplasty, is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries in Qatar. This procedure is popular among both men and women who wish to improve the shape, size, or symmetry of their nose.

Liposuction: With the emphasis on maintaining a slim and toned physique, liposuction has become a go-to procedure for those looking to remove stubborn fat from specific areas of the body.

Breast Augmentation: Breast enhancement procedures are increasingly popular among women in Qatar who wish to achieve a fuller, more balanced figure.

Facelifts and Botox: As people seek to maintain a youthful appearance, facelifts and Botox injections are on the rise. These procedures help reduce the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin, providing a rejuvenated look.

Non-Surgical Treatments: Non-invasive procedures like dermal fillers, laser treatments, and chemical peels are also gaining popularity due to their minimal recovery time and immediate results.

Cultural Influences and Changing Perceptions

In Qatar, cultural norms have traditionally valued natural beauty, but perceptions are shifting as global beauty standards influence local tastes. Social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat play a significant role in shaping these trends, with influencers and celebrities often showcasing their cosmetic enhancements. This exposure has made plastic surgery more socially acceptable and even desirable among the younger population.

Moreover, there is an increasing understanding that plastic surgery is not just about vanity but can also improve one's quality of life. For instance, procedures like rhinoplasty can correct breathing problems, while weight-loss surgeries like liposuction can lead to healthier lifestyles. This broader view of plastic surgery is helping to destigmatize it and encourage more people to explore their options.

The Future of Plastic Surgery in Qatar

The future of plastic surgery in Qatar looks promising as the industry continues to grow. Advances in medical technology and techniques are making procedures safer, more effective, and less invasive. This progress is likely to attract more people to consider plastic surgery as a viable option for achieving their aesthetic goals.

Additionally, the Qatari government's investment in healthcare is expected to further boost the plastic surgery industry. With an emphasis on providing world-class medical services, Qatar is poised to become a leading destination for cosmetic procedures in the Middle East.

The rise of plastic surgery in Qatar is a reflection of changing cultural attitudes, economic prosperity, and the influence of global beauty standards. As the industry continues to evolve, more people are turning to cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearance and boost their confidence. Whether it's through surgical or non-surgical means, the growing demand for plastic surgery in Qatar shows no signs of slowing down. As the nation continues to embrace these trends, it is clear that plastic surgery will remain an integral part of Qatar's healthcare landscape for years to come.

Apocalypse Everyday/

Everyday Apocalypse

I’m sorry

_______________

Dave was rooted to the spot.

The gravity of his loss sticking him in place, his mind raging.

The freaks, the sheer freakery of the freaks, that insane woman, that pathetic excuse of a celebrity scientist, the waste- waste of everything, his time, his talents, all of it wasted.

His fist closed tight around the sandwich, watching with satisfaction as the paste-like dough oozed out of the plastic film.

For a moment, the satisfaction of destruction soothed his mind, but then the moment passed and Dave was still without his TD, still without his work -his salvation from the squalor of the cohabitant zone, and now he had no diner.

Dave threw down wad, stamping it into the walkway for good measure.

There was no time to get back to the eatery before the shift change, and in any case one of those filthy unlabored scum probably already took it. If that pathetic Dr. Smith had better control over his woman, if that freak woman, that hell-maid Synamon, hadn't made his job impossible, hadn’t basically terrorized him away from the eatery, he wouldn’t have rushed off and forgotten his TD.

It was as if the world was conspiring against him, challenging him to give into despair. But Dave knew he was smart enough to get past whatever nonsense he was forced to deal with.

Dave was special.

He had a power that no one else did, an ability that gave him leverage in every situation, let him mold the wills of lesser people, and always kept him calm in trying times.

Dave knew he was better than everyone else. That was his power.

He knew in his heart he was superior to every other person across the colonies.

It didn’t matter if they had other skills, had more credit, had things Dave wanted- Dave knew he could get those things, manipulate those minds, get people to do things for him.

So this was fine- Dave wasn’t really worried. He was fine, absolutely fine, with having lost- having basically been robbed of- his TD.

He just had to come up with a plan.

He couldn’t get into his rented space without his TD to verify his identity, but since he was unlabored he wasn’t automatically logged into the central database. Getting a new TD was also going to require trying to get an appointment with one of the representatives at Total and explain the situation if he wanted it replaced. If he was found to have been negligent in losing his TD he’d have to work one of the lines until he paid back the company for the waste of resources. Being a Pro-Quo worker was even more humiliating than being the lowest grunt laborer. At least the low-tier laborers were due the respect that all laborers deserve, but everybody looked down on the pathetic people forced to repay their debt. Getting stuck as a Pro-Quo worker could even lead to a person becoming a total dropout- then it wasn’t long before you ended up as a scum-sucker clinging to the world in the pits of the cohabitation zone.

No.

It was pointless to worry about the TD, that was gone, move forward- stay out of the pit.

So what instead?

Dave poured his heavy head into his hands, leaning against a venting column as he puzzled through what to do.

He needed somewhere he could just sit and think for a while, but there was no way to get any quiet or privacy without access to his credits.

Dave was smart enough to not get tangled up with anyone who wasn’t useful, and so this left a very small pool of people he could go to.

Dave groaned as he realized who his only option was.

Dave wretched internally while simultaneously beginning to get his mind in the right order to deal with his boss.

Sraximillion Scorpxion Joneson IV.

He’d been a titan back in his prime,

He had been one of the first pilgrims to join the colonies as a young child, and his family soon became key players in the prosperity of the colonies and their surface-sectors.

Sraximilion Scorpxion Joneson the Second brought the Xian church to the colonies, eventually becoming the church’s first Holy Executive Officer.

When people had arrived in the colonies with only the clothes on their back, desperate for shelter from the silt storms and the burning sky, one of the first things they would see when they finally got past the magnetic locks and into the safety of the surface-sector would be the great form of Sraximillion Scorpxion Joneson II, a sign hung around his thick neck saying ‘SALVATION!’.

Joneson II taught the scriptures from memory, enrapturing his audience with stories of the benevolent and wrathful Xian God who had sent his only begotten son, George Washington, to found the holy land of America.

After that whole business that nobody really mentioned anymore, the title of HEO of the Xian church passed out of the Joneson family, but S.S. Joneson IV made sure to keep up his grandfather’s preaching through The Beat!.

Family, natural family as Joneson would put it, was an extremely important topic in The Beat! and one of the constant attacks Joneson made against his enemies was that they were trying to destroy the family. Dave’s boss had no children that he knew of, and the man never brought up his own parents, but Dave knew that was part of the man’s success. Knowledge is a barrier to true passion.

Dave had grown up listening to Joneson, or at least his AI assisted voice, and had recognized his power early on. He enthralled people.

It didn’t matter if people loved or hated him, they would tune in to listen to whatever insanity he spewed.

His opinions were so bombastic, his views so asinine, his cadence so without rhythm or reason, he was fascinating.

Joneson- through the waves of The Beat!- had the distinction of having one of the few distinct synth voices. Anyone broadcasting over the networks had to pick a synth voice to speak through, to ensure quality and clarity over both networks. Most voices were generated using dozens of people’s sounds collected anonymously from the great cloud of unending noise.

S.S. Joneson IV had gotten his own voice to use, modulated only slightly to nullify the sounds of his wheezing, coughing, choking, spluttering, stuttering, slurring, and swearing, from disrupting his tirades.

Maybe Joneson’s mannerisms were refreshing- the rest of the synth voices they heard were so forcibly cheerful, often with strange tone inflection and emphasis.

Sometimes people would use that fact to comedic advantage, often deliberately using anachronistic voices and speech patterns to strip all seriousness or sense from everything said. Just because it was funny.

Maybe Joneson was funny too.

People prefer novelty to honesty, surprise over stability, fantasy over reality.

The way to get ahead in this world was to find what people wanted and convince them that it was right around the corner.

Or even better, convince them that whatever it was they already had could be taken away from them by some nefarious something, someone, or whatever.

This was all Joneson’s fault. And Synamon and Dr. Smith.

Joneson’s paranoia about Total, Dr. Smith, the big update- all of it was so stupid and now he had nothing- less than nothing.

But Dave knew that even when he had nothing, he still had more than enough to get what he wanted so long as he had the contents of his own head.

So what if he couldn’t bring Joneson the info- who cared about information anyway? The story was the point.

And Dave knew how to tell a story.

Something the old man wouldn’t see coming- and he could throw that scad of a woman under the bus at the same time.

Joneson’s was as predictable as he was chaotic, and Dave knew how to fold the man like a sheet into any shape he wanted.

The task was unsavory, and dealing the man made Dave feel sick for cycles afterwards, but this was a desperate situation.

Dave began to drag himself towards the hub of the surface sector, seething silently as he schemed.

Synamon. He’d splurge himself in her suffering. He’d drag it out, use her for all her worth as a media object- then when he’d squeezed her dry, he’d make her his pet project for a smear campaign to rival all others.

Honestly, it was probably a kindness to her to make sure she never disrupted another man’s business again, one cycle she might incur the wrath of someone less considerate than Dave and end up getting herself killed.

Dave smiled to himself, almost skipping as he crossed the bridge leading into the hub.

It’d be trivially easy to swipe his boss’ TD until he could get a new one.

Ever the optimist, Dave went forth
