*Tiny wolf spider lands on the Galla and does a tap dance*

...on a serious "Lab as literary device for science fiction ideas and casual roleplay" ...I sort of am working on ideas, but both embarrassed by one, and struggling with the other due to sheer "trying to learn a ton"...

*Spiders form a hand and grab a rather thick book bound in human flesh*

Let's see here...vivisection of an octopus....bones of a bat...animation of a gecko changing colors...comparison of fur, quills, fish scales, snakeskin, and hair...research on attempts to control the human brain...headphones that control the human balance by changing pressure around the ears...tissue culture...

Mainly being too much of a perfectionist...

Anywho, on to the chamber of "trying to make a feather-quilled mammal"...right next to the bio-viral injections, and the fluid-regulating medical suit...

Huh...honestly the parasite one freaks me out more, as that kind of stuff I know happens (brain fungus, prions, maggots behind the eye...)
Good idea for Zombies, though, and Cthulhu-like fellows.

Half of me agrees, and the other half is doing something like this

Science for the sake of recreating mythology!

(Essentially swamp humans 3 feet tall who waged war against tribes around Cape Cod according to mythology, and were strong enough to come to a stalemate against those tribe's gods...able to shapeshift and use the equivalent of Will-o-the-Wisps to capture and steal the souls of people...described like a cross between a goblin (hooked nose, clawed, and all) and a chimp...

That area is odd for Native Americans as far as mythology goes...they aren't Ojibwe (Great Spirit and all)...and they aren't Mississipian (Cherokee) or Abenaki (Western polytheistic tribes)...they are closer in myth to the Eskimos...but they are northeastern North America...
They also have a demonic child cannibal necromancer, who slew chieftains for food every night, and raised their skeletons to protect him...family didn't know for a long while...


...anywho...

Still sort of like the trickster-healers the best. Go Rabbits! Hmm...Doctor Hare? *cracks up* (Trickster here being either wisecracker or a person who does the unexpected, or who does something indirect...need a better word)

I actually just looked up that one. *Adds to list of stories to draw from in writing*
