“Lots to do, busy man, I got you.” Zack crosses his arms over his chest—those arms that are twice the girth of Cloud’s, and for what, they swing the same size sword—and nods knowingly. “But since we’re here anyway, maybe you could make time for your old pal Zack? Might not get another chance, me being dead and all.”

“So,” Wolfwood says. “If this is the navigation room, where’s the map?”

“Oh. That would be this thing.” Vash points at the dais. “Wonder if it still works?”

Vash approaches the stand and starts fiddling with buttons and switches. Wolfwood instinctively flinches away, then chides himself for being ridiculous. Was he expecting the whole place to blow up, or what?

“So I can’t knock on the wall because of ghosts, but you can mess with some century-old doomsday machine and that’s fine?”

nothin like scrolling back through the documence to discover past me WAS in fact cooking 🍳

screencap of google doc with the following text:

A man raised in a cult of superhuman assassins is forced to escape after killing one of his abusive superiors, and finds himself not only on the run and struggling with withdrawals from the cult’s performance-enhancing drugs, but also abandoning his beloved sibling inside. In his sorry state, he’s found by an up-and-coming crime boss—who looks human, but is actually a lab-grown prototype created from a fusion of human and alien cells to generate limitless resource production for humanity. The gangster recruits the assassin to assist him in his revenge plot against the corporation that made both him and his lost twin, in exchange for the promise of the drugs he can’t get on his own—but neither of them was expecting the sexual tension that draws them to each other. Their bonds with their respective siblings will lead them to very different conclusions about what is worth sacrificing in a mission of liberation and vengeance, forcing them both to grapple with the meaning of their existence as beings made to be tools.
