Full Circle

This is officially the best week ever until something more amazing happens.

First great thing about this week : Promotions.

Paid.

I constantly have said that some of the best places to gather intel and learn what's going on out there in the streets of Midian is to be at the center of it all....the medical center that is. Police officers, gangsters, why even the good Mayor Silua of Midian have paid a visit to this fine run down establishment with high end equipment. The other end of the spectrum is of course Ashagi Laboratory, where for the right price, we'll undo almost anything and everything God can throw at ya.

Life suck and you want to erase those bad memories?

No problem

Lost all your limbs in a bomb accident?

We'll grow them back for ya!

Need a body double?

We can do ya one better, sir! We'll grow ya a freakin' clone!

My new professional look!

Things that go bump in the Night

It should have been a simple call.

Business talks on the mainland had gone off without problem. I'd just gotten off the phone with Adagio who would be back in Midian within a few days. We would have had a nice warm meal to commemorate our vows, mine of which have not been told to her yet.

You didn't tell her the truth...

I told her I was sick. Worse still, she's ill herself. I know she said she wanted us to grow old together, but that's an impossible thing. The average lifespan here is hardly one where

You're still calling this sickness?!

It's not a fuckin' disease!

The tail's gone a split apart!
Our hair's growing faster than normal...

...and did I mention the growling?!

I always growl when annoyed!

Not like that!

Stop lying already.
You don't know what the hell's wrong with us!

Stop saying us! It's my body, not ours! There's only one person here! I can't focus on my thoughts if I'm arguing with you. Just go away already!

...I don't want to die.

I'm not dying...we're in the Den. Safe and sound from that maniac. We're fine.

We're fine...?

I thought it was just you here bleeding black blood all over the place.

Slip of the tongue. Beast can't get to me here and the bandages will keep me from bleeding more.

This is you're fault.

All because you had to test that drug on Tober.

Damn traitor...we're going to die because of you!

I'm not dying here.

I refuse to die here...I can't!

"...hmmm..."
"What's with this book?"
"It says, 'I refuse to die here.' Hang on a second...I'm dying?"

The Darker Side of me

I've been more prolific with my work as a researcher at Ashagi. Not just because I'm more responsible for things and the pay's great; it's the abundance of resources I have access to. Even my genetics work is starting to pick up. When I don't have to do it on my own, projects become easier, and free up my time to work with clients.

Like this woman.

Volpe Nico, Catwalker

She's been coming to see me to find a way of dealing with her unique biological troubles. Volpe's a unique being - all give her that. Being "created" via nano culture and yet, she has unique DNA, a soul; she's like a living doll in a way.

Her problem stems from her unique DNA properties being past their intended time of 20 years. It's blunt and grim to put it this way, but she's slowly dying and wasting away in that body.

So why are you so happy?

She tried to kill you.

She also paid me to treat her and treat her I shall. For once, I get to flex my genetic knowledge muscle and I enjoy the challenge.

Uh uh...you are being way too fucking nice here....

...wait.

what did you do?
