@mrgoblinging7 It’s so weird when tiny ladies pretend to be dolls, when you know they abused their dolls when they were kids.

@ghostwriter44 Who?

@jitensha You know what we need around here? A custom “mouthplay” emoji that’s a mouth with a tiny woman’s head and torso sticking out.

@ghostwriter44 I finished the down draft this afternoon. Now for the revisions…

@smolchlo I thought it said “BURP,” but then I would think that.

@ghostwriter44 You and Gordon both.

Shame about the watermark.

@kisupure

Finch doesn’t seem too shocked that Wesson drugged Gray. She’s either dead inside or she’s playing a wicked angle.

@smolchlo Olive oil.

@kisupure

Yeah, creek water makes for lousy lube.

Very elegant device to get Wesson in Rice’s crosshairs. Kudos!

As skilled and experienced as these two are, they’re in unfamiliar territory, and there’s no one they can ask for guidance. Rice, in particular, doesn’t seem to like not knowing the lay of the land.

I really like the way Gray has converted the Fear from a biochemical agent into a philosophical posture. It’d be ironic if her “resistance” to the pheromone gives her away to her fellow corpsmen at some point.

I still wonder how difficult it is for Anakim to suppress their scent. Very intrigued by the possibility that Gray is the first human he’s fucked that asked him not to suppress.

“I think you do, soldier,” he said.

Soldier. Not corpsman, soldier. I might swoon.

Fear on the battlefield was honest, but at camp it was the dirtiest weapon of all.

I’m still not relaxing around Finch.

@smolchlo That’s why we keep her in a jar on the top shelf.

@tiny-ivy Glad you’re liking it!

@giantesslover45 Okay, I’m getting greedy. Howabout a low-angle shot of his leering face looking down on his students over his hairy gut?

New title: Soylent Gray

“Captain Rhyd Wesson, it’s time you learned what retraining is.”

So is the implication here that Wesson is about to be inducted into the mysteries of the Corps, and that by the time he sees Gray off he knows that non-officer corpsmen (along with the rest of humanity) are just livestock? That’s some red pill.

Either way, Wesson is an irredeemable shit. Conflating treason against the Corps with betraying him personally is pathetic, and sending Gray off to get mulched is as cold as it gets.

Gray goes through a lot and learns a lot in this chapter, but you did well to make us feel each blow as it lands. The death of the Corps cuts the deepest. Gray’s body might still be intact, but her spirit has been puréed.

@smolchlo She needs to pick up her gear; my keyboard’s dirty enough already.
