i hear you have a strange fascination with meat.
apparently. i don't know. kovacs told me to burn any weird books i found on meat in the christmas bookstore.
why's that?

[ yes, this is a perfect sensible conversation with someone you know well and yet hardly know at all, in this incarnation of himself. ]

[attackbrows]

[…You let one envoy pop into your room for a visit and suddenly you’re a madman with a fascination for beef.]

One meat product. It was one slab of salami being stored inside the room for a project that lingered for a little too long.

[peasant]

[ is that better or worse, now that she has context? stay tuned for her deliberation. ]

what kind of project could possibly need an entire slab of salami?

[attackbrows]

Plenty of projects require salami. They're not there to only look pretty inside your sandwich.

It just happens this one needed to be incubated inside of a duvet to explore microbial cultures in the Ximilia's central air system.

[ Because who doesn't stuff their meat in a blankie for science. ]

[peasant]

wait. hold on.
you slept with it? in your actual bed? and the smell didn't get to you?

[ consensus: she's found this doctor no less strange than the other. strange and yet expected, that they would share certain eccentricities. ]

[attackbrows]

Assuming that I sleep like a proper human. But no. I settle for standy cat naps while my bed does the work for me.

We call that optimized synergy.

[ just pray that alina doesn't have to step the doctor(s)' room for closer inspection. the answers may surprise her. ]

[peasant]

1: what makes a human a "proper" human

[ is she ever going to stop having more questions, every time the doctor lets his thoughts rush out of his head? not likely. ]

2: please tell me someone has already explained that beds are not designed for your storage needs

[attackbrows]

1.) Did I say "proper" human? I meant any other human with pudding for a brain

2.) I don't sleep. Hence: storage surface.
