    Summary

    “You see, when you first came to me with the initial proposal, I allowed myself to believe in your dream,” Pantalone goes on, trailing his finger up Dottore’s chest, barely touching the fabric of his shirt. “It did, after all, promise quite the revenue, and you were truly passionate about your research.”
    He snatches the leather strap of Dottore’s harness and tugs lightly. Dottore refuses to lean in.
    “But the reality is utterly disappointing. Merely 39% of the promised profit has been made–”
    “That is almost half,” Dottore argues pettily. Pantalone’s expression darkens in aggravation.

    the approval for dottore's funding may or may not depend on the success of the peculiar courting attempts of the ninth. it's just too bad that dottore is not particularly attentive to them

    Summary

    Dottore sits in a lab that is much cleaner than the one Pantalone knows. He has, evidently, yet to fill it with the experiments that will come to clutter the shelves and Pantalone's checkbook. There is only one of him, so this still must be the rather distant past. Pantalone, then, has not yet reached his destination.

    Dottore asks Pantalone for a favor.

    Summary

    “Felix, do you want to know how I became the leader of Chinatown?”

    Xia Fei lolls his head over the back of the couch, bangs flipping over his forehead to reveal the Badtz-Maru themed bandaid Vein had stuck on him earlier. He silently gnaws at the lollipop in his mouth as he stares at Vein from upside down. For someone lounging in the maw of a beast, he always looks more relaxed here than he does in the studio, drunk or not. “Umm. Democracy?”

    Vein barks out a laugh that comes out sharper and more genuine than he expects. Oh, sweet, naive Xia Fei. Kid’s smarter than he lets on, but not always when it comes to Vein. Then again, it’s partially this that makes him all so amusing. Vein bares his teeth into a large grin, tongue and incisors and all, and relishes in how Xia Fei stops chewing on the candy after a straight half hour to gawk. “With my teeth, sunshine.”

    Summary

    So Vein doesn’t trust anybody. How could he? He hasn’t survived a quarter of a century walking barefoot through hell being naïve. If anything, he prefers animals. They’re predictable. They demonstrate their intent with raised hackles and bluff charges. They’re simpleminded, concerned only about their young and where their next meal is coming from. If Vein had the time, he’d probably own a dog or two. It’d be a nice change of pace, having a companion that doesn’t have a malicious bone in its body. He has ample evidence in the shape of stab-wounds and bullet-holes to prove that the hearts of men are tainted with corruption. They always have been.

    But God, (or whatever cosmic entity is running things out in the ether), has made a delightful habit of shitting in his dinner. It’s as if he’s got a standard-bearer hellbent on undermining him, or a trio of witches pointing notched knuckles toward Birnam Wood, because every lesson he’s ever learned fizzles out like a one-hit wonder the moment he lays eyes on a certain blond.
