Warnings: reference to multiple skin lacerations
There’s been an incident. ADI’s already given me the go-ahead to relay this to everyone for the sake of moving forward, so there’s no need to ask if the higher-ups are aware. They are.
When I’m not working in medical, I’ve taken up occasional volunteer work at the local hospital. Earlier today, Sable, one of ADI’s contacts at the docks, was admitted with severe lacerations along her right hand and arm. As she tells it, she’d found a box that was making odd noises, bound for Things of Beauty. She tried to be discreet about investigating whatever was inside, but it didn’t matter.
Again, according to her, she stuck her arm in to grab whatever was inside and paid for it immediately. Based on my own examination, her wounds looked like bite marks, and a lot of them. From very small mouths with very sharp teeth, about mice-sized, but the shape doesn’t match up with any kind of rodent I know about. Whatever it was, it took literal pieces of flesh off of her, and I can’t imagine how and it would've been if she hadn’t been wearing sleeves and thick gloves.
She’s already admitted it wasn’t the smartest move on her part, but that isn’t the point here. It’s a foregone conclusion by now that nothing good is happening at Things of Beauty; you may have been seeing the ads around recently, “a new year calls for a new you”. The promise to unveil a new product on the 16th — which is tomorrow, I should point out.
Basically: if what I saw today was a taste of things to come, I don’t have a lot of faith that it’s going to be an uneventful reveal. There’s a lot more harm in store, and what all of us decide to do with this information in the 11th hour is ultimately up to the individual.
Personally, I’m less of a wait-and-see kind of person. If there’s still a product being shipped and received this late in the game, then there’s still a chance to cut off what’s left of the supply. Impede the off-loading process, slash a few delivery truck tires, etc. Get creative, throw a wrench into things, create delays, because *time* is what we need for ADI to establish proper damage control and further investigation.
Whatever you do, just be careful about it. Don’t go sticking your hands into suspicious boxes, all right?

That said, any shot is worth it at this point. If you think you can do it without getting caught.
How's someone "sorta" a rat king?
no subject
usually most of them listen to me already which is kinda cool but i got a stupid fucking crown from kicking some dickhead's ass in the sewers who called himself the rat king
so it just kinda passed on to me
it's useful though, wish it came with me. i just think being called your majesty is a crock of shit. im just a physically bigger rodent than them so its a moot goddamn point, you know? like if i'm technically a king, do i have to figure out taxes and tithes and sewer infastructure? it's the stupidest thing i've ever heard so kind of just ignore it
having an army's pretty cool though
the point is let me know if you need a hand or whatever. you're a pretty competent guy and it's great to see 'cause i'm fucking not
no subject
I think it says something for your character that you’d prefer not to lug a big crown around. So you’re probably more competent than you think. Anyway, there’s a man back on my Earth that can control ants. You’d be surprised of the practical applications of that.
I’m guessing some of those could be applied in a “rat king’s” case, too?
