What the fuck.

[this can be either in the medbay while yuri heals or sometime after she's out tbh, but. either way. we're jumping right into the bug memory you asked for bc memshare week waits for no starter!!

[ looks at his own canon and the weird splicing gag they did once, and the time they were all cicadas ruining elementary schoolers' love confessions... ]
Y-yeah, that's pretty messed up. Did they tell you it was going to be something else?

It hasn't even been a week.
no subject
[ for this kind of mood shift... ]
no subject
[you know. for certain values of luck.]
Better to know we might have bigger problems now than settle in more first.

[we're at the bookstore! let's check out the selection, my dude.]
What kinda books do you usually go for?
no subject
[ books........... ]
W-well. Mostly whatever's popular at the moment so I don't get left out of the discussions... but I like satire, I guess?
[ he tells girls he likes shoujo manga but he doesn't need gregor to find him nonthreatening and relatable ]
no subject
[this isn't (derogatory) he does seem like the type who might enjoy something with some teeth to it, that's all.]
Wonder if they've got anything like that here? Might help to get a read on the place.

...So— Were they making bug supersoldiers or something? Is that what the deal was? And then after the war you're just stuck being part bug? Or...
no subject
[he's just the 'lucky' one who only has his arm, instead of further mutations and side effects.]
no subject
Oof... Did you guys consent to that, or did they just... do it?
no subject
[they're all gross bugs, unfortunately, no butterflies or moths here. resilient insects only.]
Got the procedure when I was about 14, if that tells you anything about how Corporations back home operate.
no subject
Y-yeah, that's pretty messed up. Did they tell you it was going to be something else?
no subject
[a halfhearted shrug, one-shouldered. that's still expecting too much of them.]
no subject
...Do you actually want to go back there when this is done?
no subject
[otherwise, he might have a different answer.]
Rodya and I have a contract to see through with our employer.

...contracts in the City aren't the kind you pay a fine to get out of, if they're overseen right. They're the, uh. 'Stick to it or die' kind.

Well, if they could manage it, they just might put the effort in.

Can you tell me what happened with Owner-san?
no subject
[sometimes you just have violence in your heart.]
It took more effort than I'm used to. But I guess he... must've been a little worn out already.
no subject
[ frowns... ]
Did he seem off to you...?
no subject
[he didn't notice shit he just wanted to kill]
