[You touch the eyes and--

He resists the urge to kick his feet out of impatience, trepidation driving him to fidgeting. March is smug that he’s here, that he’s owed enough for this first upgrade, but there’s no doubt the wrong move (or a request for sedation) will lead to him waking up without a liver. Or one too many.

It’s a doctors office by virtue of the fact that it has one: a back alley medic in a shabby coat with multiple arms and a harlequin grin. The proof of his talents lies visible in the fact he has no skin, only a thin layer of clear material over muscle and veins. Nothing odd, really.

March tilts his head back when the ‘doctor’ (alt description: creepy body modification fetishist) grabs him, although it takes a lot of frantic control not to lash out when his eyelid is pinned back with a thumb. His eyes are green, reflected in the scalpel.

The strangest thing is at first he doesn’t feel anything but pressure and curiosity in the grotesque corner-of-the-eye vision of his cornea sliced away, the vitreous fluid dripping down the blade...

And then the pain kicks in, but even through the screaming there’s bitter victory.


Status: MY EYES MY FUCKING EYES.

But hey, at least you have spares in your pockets now despite the agonizing pain.
