i have not been successful yet .

i had changed my mind .

and then we would all be sorely disappointed .

i was .

if you could find a hydraulic press big enough , i'd be fairly impressed .

except i wouldn't drink him .

i finally had permission to grind him into a fine paste . not as though he was worth much else .

had .

very little in his head .

thankfully , there's no longer someone attempting to swallow glow sticks in my presence , anymore .

why is my interest in mr . kennedy still a surprise to you , miss ashcroft ?

i did not stutter .

it's good foreplay , miss ashcroft .

late night sifting through reports . really , he needs to have a discussion with his staff about writing neatly .

/ / i got on here to make a joke and i FORGOT IT dammit . something about grace . i'll remember in 3 - 5 business days .

your father agreed with such sentiments .

my personality suits everyone else just fine .

there are pictures of myself prior to infection all over the care center . you need only to use your eyes .

we are colleagues . not ' bros '. regardless , i have committed to the same amount of self experimentation to . . . as you say ' improve upon the design '.

GOD MADE ME WRONG SO I IMPROVED THE DESIGN

we would enjoy that . you're horrifically annoying .

[ hmmm .] i suppose i could see if it's allowed , now . [ or he could just beg forgiveness instead of permission .]

as incredible as that sounds , i've been forbidden from messing with the little playthings .

go easy on him . otherwise , we might have to handle a brain bleed .

ㅤㅤ 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 . [ #seductivesunday ] ㅤㅤ

you had nothing .

. . . alright , come here .

miss ashcroft . if you would be so kind as to read this for me .

. . . i have terrible news for your limited worldview , miss ashcroft .

miss ashcroft , you're looking at the wrong tests . miss willows , you don't get sick . [ that's all the wisdom he has for the day BYE .]

/ / making fun of gideon while also writing the nastiest smut of gideon . duality of man or whatever .

i can assure you that i am not related to the mutamycete .

i've yet to see the talent that you wish to be recognized .

absolutely not . i still have important work to handle for zeno .

. . . you all do understand that i was — at one point — a typical human male , yes ?

i have no living relatives . i've checked .

charming as always , cirice .

/ / ciRICE YOU ARE JUST SAYING WORDS TO ME 😭

not clouded , first of all . secondly , stop discussing my biological functions once again . i feel this is a conversation we're having far too often .

i see cirice is trying to get you into plenty of trouble this morning .

your poetic way with words is always astounding , but it's nothing of the sort .

oh , don't take it back now .

. . . incredible , mr . kennedy . does that not slow down the day more ?

have you considered hard drugs instead .

" i've spent years crafting my reputation . it wouldn't do well to lose it all now over a tiny little illness ." sitting back down . " you know where to find me if you need something stronger ."

there's a soft sigh to follow , as if raymond is currently nothing more than a nuisance to be brushed off as quickly as possible . " you know i cannot allow you to medicate yourself without supervision . that would be gross misconduct on my part ." he will offer the pills in a little cup .

well , there's the problem ! there's silence as he looks him over , and then he's waving him off . " do not waste my time , then ."

" . . . yes ?" has he been taking what he was prescribed ?
