Now, if any of you have read Soul's most recent blog you will know that he's very busy in his real life and doesn't have as much time to spend around here as he would like. So, that means we're on our own. He's left me in charge, naturally (and if any of you don't like that, I got this big chain here that might convince you otherwise-lol). Things will go on as they always have (mayhem, chaos, hilarity) and Soul will stop by when he can. Everyone okay with that?


I picked Needy's thread title suggestion because it made me laugh the last time. Now, let's keep this bumped.

Oh, I'm nearly done with your hat, Amylisai, so I need an address to send it to. Thanks mei mei!

good for you Serenity, taking the initiative and all

Sooo, its been a couple of days since I last visited and looking back at the old thread I was reminded about the whole "psychic number game". So if its out of ten... its gotta be 7. Right? What do you mean no? 6? 8? 3? 2? Oh now you're just playing with me. You're not expecting me to answer in chinese are you?!

I love that chinese saying mei-mei. I've been listening to the Signal the past few days (yes I'm a latecomer and have been trying to catch up on the episodes) and I love the chinese section. I've decided to call my younger sister Mei-mei from now on. It sounds like a really nice pet name, plus when someone asks me what it means, I can just shrug it off and says "oh it's chinese, don't feel bad if you don't understand it". That way I will look like I speak chinese thoroughly. Ah, thats another thing us browncoats have been blessed with (as well as a very shiny show)

So I was organising a bunch of sound clips today from the movie trailers and the pilot episode and decided to add them to the Serenity theme to make a little remix of sorts. I've uploaded it to http://s47.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0ES4GO53KZ1TS3MHSIDF2YAWT4 if you want to hear it for yourself. Pity the track is so short, there were so many clips, but I've made it more of an introduction to Serenity itself, instead of including a bunch of funny quotes or intense lines from the trailer.

What else can I say? uhm. nothing springs to mind except... I'm hungry. I'm gonna get some food

oh yeah, thanks for choosing my idea for the thread title. I feel so honoured

Jack - You're right, I'm in England. Leicester if you want to be specific, home of the National Space Centre, Richard Attenborough and Pregnant Teenagers. It's in the Midlands, and next door to Nottingham (home of Robin Hood... and thats about it)

good idea safe!

Aha. We're so going to take over this thread!

TRM - last I heard (or should I say, did) was Bubbles was supersoaked until she overheated and collapsed. But on this forum, nothing stays dead for long

*Bubbles rises from the still wet floor of one of Destiny's corridors. The machine is in a right state, with circuits exposed and smoke still escaping through every orifice*

Needy: You sure are a tenacious little devil.

Bubbles: Curse your sudden but ineveitable betrayal!

Bubbles screams, her face and movement resemblig a zombie - the slow Romero type.

Needy: Cool! Someone has inputted Firefly quotes
Safe: Make it sing the theme tune!

*TRM walks over to the manic robot, spins her around so that he is looking at er back, exposes her shiny metal ass to look at her rear controls hidden at the base of her spine and, after typing some code, spins her back round and waits patiently with the rest of the crew*

Safe: C'mon then
Needy, Safe and TRM chant: Sing! Sing! Sing!

*Bubbles spins around on the spot and breaks into a jazzed up version of The Ballad of Serenity*

as for your evil twin, I havent seen him. Which is quite bizarre thinking about it now, he's always causing trouble

I think I'm going to have to check my shuttle, I dont mean to sound like a coward, but would you mind coming with me. Your twin, being how he is, wouldn't think twice about knocking me out in an instant, I'd rather have back up just in case

Evil headless robotic Jack walks by and waves.

Needy palms a small watergun and Puffy shrinks back on astounded Jack's shoulders.

Needy pokes Jack from behind, "What's he doing?"

Jack shrugs, "Dunno. Looking for his head?"

"Maybe we should ask him," Needy stares after it.

"Maybe we should give him a pumpkin."

"I'm out of pumpkins."

"How about a basketball and a Sharpie?" Jack asks.

"Yes," Needy strokes his chin, "ExCELLent."

A loud bang and flash of light come from the end of the corridor.

Safe rounds the corner running full tilt, in the opposite direction from the commotion, past Needy and Jack and right into Serenity as she rounds the corner at the other end sending them both sprawling.

"runrunrunrun"

Jack, "Ummm...Safe? What's going on?"
Serenity, "geroffme!"
Safe, "Well it's like this....I just gave you a new Monster Hovership hat but not having a head upon which to wear said hat...you got mighty angry and started shootin' the place up...but you're here and you have your head??..."

At that point Evil headless robotic Jack appears at the end of the corridor. Where there was no head there is now a computer monitor with a hat perched on top. And where there was once a right hand, there is now a buzzing chainsaw. Across the monitor scrolls green writing

Bubbles rounds the other corner, devoid of Fireflanish melody, surprising Soul and shoving him on the growing pile of crew. There's an audible complaint from Serenity on the bottom.

"Needy, how'd she get to your shuttle? Wasn't she just in the mess?" Jack asks.

Needy presses himself against the hull behind them, "Dunno."

"zzz... TAKE... TAKE THEM BOTH... ZZzz," comes from the formerly headless monster.

Bubbles cocks the captain's gun, "Affirmative. We will take that one's shuttle."

Jack looks back at the cowering Needy, "Somehow... Stupid whore doesn't quite cover it this time."

"Well..." Needy says, "I thought we were getting quite good at their defeats..."

"This is going to be the LAST misadventure with the robots!" Jack yells, "The last one!"

"zzzZZZ... Indeed. IndEED IT WIll be, meATBag."

"Stop calling me that!" Jack exclaims at the chainsaw wielding maniac.

"Oh, so calling me a WHORE is SO much better!?!" Needy yells back.

"Hey!" Jack points a finger at Needy, "This is NOT ABOUT YOU!"

Needy lays a very uncompanionlike uppercut on Jack, "Stop yelling at me!"

Jack wastes no time in charging back, laying a shoulder into the companion's midsection, throwing them both into Safe, Serenity and Soul, who had almost untangled themselves.

Mayhem ensues.

She digs herself out from under everyone, with the copious use of elbows and mild profanities, then grabs both Jack and Needy by the ears.*

Needy and Jack: Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!

Serenity: We have much bigger problems right now than your stupid little fight, so KNOCK IT OFF!!

*We interrupt this mayhem for a Public Service Announcement*

Has everyone seen the new challenge up? The one about the Reavers? There are several of you that are so very good at writing peril that it should be no problem to turn your pens (or keyboards) to the horror of Reaver-sightings. Remember, you earn credits, the whole crew earns credits. We're down to #40ish now. Not so great, considering at one time we were #16.

*End of Public Service Announcement. We will now return to our mayhem, already in progress.*

Peril is written. 84 and a half days til pointage.

*Sigh*

Now you must read, Serenity, you must because you asked it of me, and I have done it.

Peril I have written, pages of peril. You must comply! There's also blood and bodies and a bit of romance for the kiddies. There's also gratituous moments of firepower for the guys.

Well, GODDAMNIT! Limit of 10000 character my a@#!

Thank God, I can post here. I spent 6 hours writing 9 pages of single spaced peril and I have splice the beginning and the end to fit it into the entry thingy!!!



I knew there was a reason I don't do the writing challenges!

Jack pulls out a really BIG GUN. From where, no one really can tell.

He points it at the fake Jack, "Alright pal," and fires, "I've had enough."

In a brilliant fireball, Evil Jack explodes into billions of confetti sized pieces.

Bubbles fires but misses.

"Oh, honey," Jack spits out, "You shouldn't have missed," In a smooth action he cocks his BFG, points and fires it at Bubbles, "Die, b&*#^!"

Bubbles also explodes into billions of confetti sized pieces.

Everyone present coughs up smoke.

Jack walks over and pounds on the intercom, "Jayne."

"Ummm... Yeah?"

"Jack here, are you ever fill with the compulsion to kill us all in any fashion?"

"Well, uh, no."

"Not even a little bit?"

"Nope."

"Right answer."

Jack drops the gun into Safe's lap, "It's called a BFG, you like?"

"Um... Sure..."

"Much better than Bubbles?"

"Yeah."

"Good. I'm going to my bunk. I've got a few issues." Jack leaves.

The blackened crew stares at one another.

The actual Adam Baldwin quote was Redemption - but I always thought Vindication worked better hence the inspired part.


I just got 400 points today I'm not sure if it's for the bumper sticker or our essays :D

I'm happy cause I'm back at rank 420 - was somewhere over 500 yesterday

Safe-When you submit something for yourself, you get credits and your credits go against Destiny's combined credits.

When we submit a crew challenge, we each get credits and the whole crew gets credits.

Make sense?

And I don't think we've gotten our credits from the scavenger hunt yet.

Flechie-liked the bumper sticker. I gave it 5 stars (2.3 was waaaay too low.)
And guess what I'm mailing out today!

And FINALLY, a challenge I can do-they want us to write lyrics to a song about one of the BDHs. I can do that. It won't give me nightmares like trying to write about Reavers. *shudder*

CMS - are you sure about the crew rankings? When I looked, the top ten on the side did not match the first 10 crew listed under crews- instead the crew listed seem be based on total # of crew members.


If you are right tho - then we the crew of Destiny are in a fairly shiney position :D



Oh and I vote for a song on Simon too!

I had inspiration at the post office. (Your hat is in the mail Flechie!!!!!!)

I think I'm going to do a song directed at Kaylee about Simon. I think she gives him too hard a time and she pushes him too much. I feel bad for him. She likes him because he's different from all the Rim boys she used to date, but then she tries to get him to fit into that mould. It bothers me, is all. Anyway, that's my idea.

Will try to work on it whenever I come up for air. When's the deadline again? Must go back and check.

Jack gets up from his bunk, stretches and chases his dragon around his room.

He walks the ship, noting with some residual satisfaction that Bubbles and Evil Jack are still piles of rubble.

He goes into the janitorial closet and pulls out a Shop-Vac. He whistles a happy little tune as he sucks up all the pieces of the ill-fated robots. He waves to Needy as he passes by, Serenity and Safe too as they watch him.

He scratches Puffy underneath the chin and puts up the Shop-Vac after tossing the contents into deep space. He waves to Jayne and Flechette as they fix dinner for the crew, Soul and TRM as they pass him in the corridor.

Jack goes to the infirmary, calm and content. No evil robots. No explosions. He studies his medical literature while eating an apple that Flechette had tossed him in the mess.

All is well.

I think I've had enough of Reaver stories.

I had a dream last night that Reavers ate Wash and then Nick from CSI hit on Zoe.

It was very strange. Harmony from Angel and Joshua the male companion were in it, too.

As Jack is minding his own business, taking care of the ship, a strange noise sounds behind him. It sounds like a human breathing heavily, but doesn't sound all too friendly, reminiscent of monsters/creatures in those bad "horror" movies. Suddenly, an inhuman screech is let out and before Jack can react, a hand grabs hold of his shoulder and with one swift motion spins him around

There stands Needy with a huge grin on his face

"sorry, I couldn't help myself"

Before any more words are spoken, Jack smacks Needy square in the jaw, knocking the Boy Whore out cold

"and I couldn't help myself."

Jack sighs and shakes his head

"just one minute of normalcy... that's all I want"

Hello all.

I've been trying to come here and post for the past 2 or 3 days but haven't had the chance. The main reason is because my sister is taking her drivers theory test tomorrow and has been preparing using a program on the pc jsut about every night. Good for her, but I still wanna come here and by the time I've checked my mails and the latest news on the web and all that, I dont have much time left. Oh well, I'm here now

I gotta say, I loved the final confrontation with the robots, that was hilarious - especially Jack's "Stupid Whore" comment... and the whole crewmembers entanglement

I haven't got round to doing the Reaver Attack story yet, though hopefully I'll do it tomorrow.
As for the song, well for a start I thought it had to be about Wash (obviosuly didn't read it that well) and so I was racking my brain for a tune and some lyrics, but it kept on turning into The Hero of Canton. Now if only Wash's first name was Wayne, I might have been able to use it anyhow.
So can it just be about anything to do with the characters? Cos the instructions imply that it be a song like Hero of Canton, focussing on their life prior to Serenity. If it was about events during/post the series, then I might be able to handle it, but as it stands I'm kinda blank (no change there then)

Oh and whilst we're talking about songs - Safe, I know Riders on the Storm, but wasn't it originally sang by someone else? Maybe not, I just thought it was. I've got that song on one of Creed's singles

The Doors, I believe.

Needy, it was originally done by the Doors (thanks Greek). They did another song called People Are Strange (you might remember it from the movie Lost Boys) which would make for a good Reavers song. That is if the Reavers sing...

Have you read the other Reaver stories yet? If you read Rel's http://www.fireflyfan.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=4926, Jack's http://www.fireflyfan.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=4930 and my http://www.fireflyfan.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=4925! in that order...it's like they are all recounts of the same event from different perspectives.

I'd like to read any other crew members entries, so please post a link here when you're done.

The one liners and situations floating 'round these parts lately have been pretty damn funny.

Ah yes, Greek and Safe, it was the Doors

I love their song "Break on Through to the other Side", though I always think of the show Dark Skies when I hear it because one of the episode's featured Jim Morrison as a guest character (ah memories)

I didn't realise People are Strange was there's . I like that song too - I've got the Lost Boys soundtrack where Echo and the Bunnymen sing it - one of the best songs on the cd btw
Maybe when the movie is released on dvd, someone could make a music video based around the reavers with that as the theme song

I'll read those Reaver reports and hopefully they'll inspire me... though not too much (wouldnt want to be accused of stealing ideas)

Reaver challenge is over 21 Sept. Don't rush it though, I haven't got it done yet. I missed on doing the bumper sticker too. I thought of one but never got to do it because I left it too long. My plan was to change the "Baby on Board" sign to "Browncoat on Board". But I did see someone had created a "Reaver on Board" with blood stains on it - that was pretty cool

Still, if you're acting Captain as you so brazenly declared, then who am I to argue?

Truth is, on other forums I was often called crazy and a bit of a nutter, but when I came here, I felt like I was normal (and I mean that in a bad way) - everyone else just seemed a bit more "out there" than I was.

Before the crews started up, I had over 4000 credits. Not bad considering I'd only signed up back in January or something, and I never did anything.

But then I changed my handle over there and had to start from scratch and now I've got 1000 some odd.

If you want to be nosey and see everyone's rating, you can check out each person's profile under our crew. It gives you current credits and total credits (I guess if they spent some).

Ah, I get ya. Well I was both serious and joking. I like to mix and match, it keeps people on their toes "Is he joking?" they wonder. Just today I was told I was being bossy at the weekend. The reason? I was playing rounders with a bunch of others and at one point in the game I kept telling a couple of other fielders to stop being lazy and get to where the ball was actually going. It was my "army guy" routine, but they took it seriously, apparently one asked the other if they had done something wrong to upset me. Oh I had a good laugh hearing that. Then felt guilty. Then had a laugh again

Anyway back to the point. I did misread the message for a start, but I blame my haste to get through a tonne of messages at once. Still, normally I probably would have skipped the comment by, but I decided to have a little fun in teasing Serenity's authoritative position on the ship. Does that make me goofy or dumber?
You know when I was a toddler, my hair was so blonde it was white. That's my excuse for any stupid comment I make

If I've offended any blonde's out there, I'm sorry, I have a habit of putting my foot in my mouth and saying things that people take the wrong way. Can you blame me? when I was a toddler, I was so blonde...

More like Baseball. I don't exactly know what the differences are, and there are different versions of Rounders, but basically its a soft ball we use, and there are 4 bases to ge around... in fact I think it's pretty similar with the exception of minor differences

Excuse my ignorance too, some expert might read this and rant about how different the two games are

Needy awakens on the cold metal operatng table... naked

"Agh!" Needy moans before quickly jumping off the medical table, and covering himself up with his hands

"What the hell?!"

The room is empty, nobody is around, fortunately, but unfortunately his clothes are also nowhere to be seen. Then his jaw begins to ache and he remembers being clocked by a startled Jack. But as for how he ended up here? A mystery.

Seeing a white jacket hanging on the open door, he quickly grabs it and puts it on, hoping to regain some dignity. Not so. The jacket is only waist length and is too small to even be closed.

"Dammit!" he curses. Seeing no other option, and knowing that he must eventually leave the confines of the room in search of clothes, he takes the jacket off and, tying the arms together around his waste, forms a nice new skirt. Unfortunately it only covers the front, the rear is still exposed, made apparent by the fly that has just landed on it

Needy slaps it, that's the last thing he needs to be dealing with. Unfortunately, it turns out it wasn't a fly, but a wasp. And now his stung bottom was swelling up faster than you can say "Bare Boy Whore"

"Great! Where the hell did that thing come from anyw..?" He stopped halfway, partly because talking to himself was pointless and also because he remembered that TRM liked to keep some insects as pets... or to experiment on... or something. The companion doesn't really pay attention much to what TRM has to say. A shame really, considering the wasp may very well have been a hybrid with a toxic sting, and now he doesnt know what to do about it.

Now he was beginning to fear that he would drop dead then and there, only for the other crewmembers to find him lying buttnaked on the floor. He could picture the epitaph on his gravestone already. "He was born naked, worked naked and died naked"

Feeling the panic begin to take over, he ran out of the infirmary and down the corridors of the ship, his jacket/skirt in tact, but covering nothing

"Heeeeeeeelp!" he screamed

okaaaaaay. Dont really know what a 3-pitch is, or the meanings behing sliding or stealing and their affect on the game (mainly because I've never played baseball or softball and have only seen it played in movies)

Here's the rules for Rounders though - http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/r/ro/rounders.htm

Turns out Baseball and softball stems from it (not a huge surprise really)

Some of the rules are different in each variant as you can imagine.
The way we play it is with a baseball bat (I picked one up for £1 years ago thinking it would last an hour at best but it's lasted years), though we do have a roudners bat too if anyone wants to use it
We also allow for 3 tries at hitting the ball before you have to run, so even if you hit the ball but are not happy, you can have another shot (though I believe that rule has been added to our game to cater for the children playing)

Ther eare probably other rules too, but there's no need for this to get into a deep "The Rules of Rounders" discussion

A panic-stricken Needy pleads with Serenity.

"I can't find him! Doctor? Where's the Doctor? You need to suck out the poison!!!"

Needy turns around and bends over, pointing his backside at a cringing Serenity

"Please, put it away. I'm not touching that thing, let alone sucking it." Serenity answers honestly. "Can't you get some clothes on and just find the good doctor like a dignified human being would?"

"Clothes?! What clothes? They're gone. If you've got any handy then please, I'd be more than welcome to put them on. But I really need to find the doctor, there's no telling what could happen... I could start growing wings. I could shrink. I could die!"

Needy is sidetracked for a moment upon noticing a colourful and rather elegant-looking scarf Serenity is wearing.

"hm... do you mind if I borrow that?" Needy asks, pointing at the scarf in question. Whether the technicolor scarf had some special powers or not, it sure did seem to calm the previously insane-with-fear companion

"What? My scarf?"

"Yeah. I could take it, and use it for underwear. I'm good with nipping and tucking garments in. I could turn it into a nice pair of pants. For the time being that is"

"Do you have any idea how much this cost me? This is a Serra Original! And I don't even wanna think about where you'd be tucking it!"

Despite Serenity's normally friendly nature, Needy's eyes had already been set on the scarf.
It was begging him to take it from her. Before she could react, he snatched it from her neck and fled down the corridor with it firm in his grasp.
Serenity cringed and looked away. It hurt her that Needy had gone and took her scarf, but she wasn't prepared to go after him and, god forbid, tackle him to the floor for it. There was no telling in what position they would land in, and she would rather lose the scarf than her dignity. Besides, she would have plenty of opportunity to get revenge on him

Soul walks over to where Safe laid the holster and straps it across his back. He picks up his boomstick, swings it over his shoulder, and hears a satisfying click as it settles into place. He smiles.

"Now this I like..."

He walks over to the ladder and climbs up to the main hallway, where he watches Needy run into Serenity, wearing...well, wearing too little.

"Needy, I'm thinkin' that Dr. Me should have a look at that sting, and that you need to get ahold of some clothes."

Soul turns and smiles at Serenity.

"Thank you for standing in for me," he says, and in one smooth motion, he pulls his boomstick off of his back, swings it down, pumps the action, and grins.

"The Captain is back."

Glad to see you back Cap'n. Your replacement was getting a bit bossy

So where is the doc anyway? We may have heating on the ship to prevent it from getting to cold in space, but I gotta say, when you're naked and walking around the ship - not that warm

Considering I haven't yet collapsed, I don't suppose the sting is as bad as I feared, but still, I'd like it dealt with as quickly as possible

*Soul looks at Needy with a puzzled expression on his face*

"That scarf..." Soul starts

Yeah?

"wh.."

It's Serenity's. I took it to keep myself covered

*Soul looks Needy up and down.*

"Then shouldn't you be, you know, covering yourself... down below?"

Nah. It's too good. I don't want it spoiling

*soul cringes and looks away*

Why does everybody cringe? *looks down* Am I really that cringeworthy? Surely not. I'm a boy whore gorram it!

"So you woke up and found your clothes gone..." Jack says, "Why on earth are you running around the ship for?

Needy tells him.

"Okay, okay, okay," Jack shakes his head, "Has Safe found you yet?"

"No."

"And don't worry," Jack says, "It was only a space mosquito. Big suckers, pardon the pun, but harmless."

"What am I going to do?"

"I'm thinking clothes," Jack says, "But I'm just spitballing here."

Better reply to the things from the last thread before I start wading through this thread too. Just skip them all to catch up faster? Never!

Serenity, I am so jealous! Your trip sounds SO COOL! I wish I could have been there with you to help you enjoy it :) I am so glad you had that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to soak up time with fans and stars.

Here's what I'm going to guess the shirt means--My memory may be failing me as I've only read LOTR three times, but I think Legolas and Gimli travel into the West together after they're done travelling for fun all over MiddleEarth. That would mean they live forever though, wait, that didn't answer the question, I'm still at a loss... (BTW, LOTR was in my top three fav books BEFORE that sickening movie came out, thank you very much)

THANK YOU for the gifties! I love the Indian take-out and Kaylee's dress sighting! yum yum, plenty to munch on and think about as I explore the ship's jeffry's tubes :)

Very nice of you to bring us each something! Especially since my work has kept me off the list for some weeks (missed so much!)

Did you all see the shiny new Serenity website yet? I looked at everything, it's so pretty!

Oh, and thank you for calling me "mei mei", Serenity. As the youngest (at 22) crazy sister on this boat, it made me warm and fuzzy inside. The best cure for stress, definitely!

Amylisai, so good to check in

Few things I forgot--

Needy, nice Simon screen shot. Very, very, nice.

Geography round-up: I live in Petaluma, CA (45 min north of San Francisco in farm country. Thank goodness a theatre opened in town this year so I can see the BDM!)

Serenity--oh! a hat! My address is
Amy Lisa Isaacs
1991 Rainier Circle
Petaluma, CA 94954

Amylisai, get the amy lisa i now?

Whew, I made it. All caught up. Watch me get totally behind again in the next few days.

My favorite blonde joke:
Why are all blonde jokes so short and simple?
So the boys can understand them!
:)

The new stuff in the store is exciting, the old things were so far out of my league. It was nice that they added so many for us low-pointers. That being sad, my 84.5 days must've come 'round 'cause I suddenly have points: 3640 rank: 725, much higher than last time I checked. I was sooo impressed by Flechette complaining about being in the 500's and then suddenly I got bumped up. I guess 'cause we have so many newbies and ppl are spending off the points in the store. I'm definitely going for the Serenity patch (I like to put patches on my duffle bag, get 'em when I travel to special places) but I want to wait as long as possible to help out the team's numbers!

Amy finally appears in crew drama...

While climbing up the stair railing (on the outside of the stairs, without a rope), Crazy Sister Amy sees Needy talking to Soul.
The shock of naked Needy causes Amy to let go of the railing--but instead of falling through the air she hovers.

Amy: Cool skills they put in my brain...the academy wasn't all bad
Amy flaps arms and tests flying ability...

Soul: hm, what's with my crew? Jayne in a kilt, a naked companion with a swollen butt, and a floating crazy sister...

Jack: Could be worse. We used ta have psychotic robots

Everyone gives a moment of silence for blasted psychotic robots


Too much fun. Amylisai, Crazy sister of Destiny

Shuttle 2 docks with the Destiny. The hatch pops open and out strolls TheRealMe, whistling to himself, pushing a wheel burrow containing a pile of various mechanical and electronic parts.

“Oh, hello, everyone!”

TheRealMe heads off to the Infirmary, where he parks the wheel burrow. He begins to check his various long-running experiments.

“Dammit! My spmosquito is missing from its container! Now what am I going to use to deliver flesh-shaping recombinant DNA to my victims? Uh, I mean, patients!”

TheRealMe shrugs.

“Oh, well. At least I’m finally getting the hang of this doctor thing!”


TheRealMe, Doctor of Destiny!
