A story of inconvenient changes
Support The OOPs
OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:
And Ukranian:
Kass is an officer.
Merrs is a surgeon.
the lines of demarcation here are iffy at best.
In these halls, Merrs answers only to Viracroix and, if not contradicting, the Hippocratic Oath (or whatever it is called on this world, but as we assume the Humans descend from Terran settlers, it is not unlikely that such ethics evaded the general loss of knowledge, or were at least “reinvented” as medicine advanced)
Did he shave his stache, or did the yinglet snot act as a chemical peel?
… His eyebrows also seem… smaller?
Drawn on mayhaps? pun intended
The eyebrows look largely the same to me, if anything they may be a bit thicker than before. In his previous appearance, however, the view was zoomed up on his face a good deal more, so naturally his eyebrows were larger then, but relative to the rest of his face, I think it’s about the same.
Doctors get cranky after being on call for an entire day or so. Zhough I blame Kass’s earlier experience wizh a certain biteleaf smoking medical “professional” for Kass’s prejudice regarding doctors in general.
It is a healzhy zhing dat Kass can see her prejudice’s harm in making de apology, zhough de surgeon might not let Kass off so easily. I smell a quest drop approaching! Perhaps de Yinglet enclave has access to somezhing dat de doctor can use for a anticeptic or somezhing else he needs?
Add in to that mix Kass being in a new body, with a new gender (and all the hormones associated with), and still getting used to that, and you have a real recipe for disaster. (:
Any recipe that includes Yinglets as being part of, disaster is likely going to be a likely outcome.
For de record, I strongly discourage Yinglet based recipies, we likely taste awful.
Don’t know until you try! Eating all those shellfish might concentrate any impurities in the water, however.
No trying eating de Yinglets, because we look like small, furry Trogdor de Burninators does not mean we are tasty grilled, nooooo!
Hey heys! You makes us zounds likes misforzune magnezz… O_o
*the cart Willl is standing near spontaneously bursts into flames – POOOF!*
But but… I didn’z dos EEEEEEEETTT! *runs and hides*
Zhis is why we have patriarchs! IS so you don’t burn de cart, bard!
I wonder if Ran knows that ying-snot is mildly corrosive. That is a fascinating little tidbit.
The surgeon may have unwittingly given Kass a new weapon! 😮
The surgeon has the moral advantage, and he’s evidently prepared to use it. But if he’s not careful, he’s going to have Kass explaining, recounting, and then reliving the whole experience again, and that’s likely to bring with it more snot. Is that what he really wants?
while he definitely deserves an apology, he needn’t be a dick about it.
Perhaps Kass could remind him that his terrible word choice lead someone to believe their best friend was dead?
If I were in Kass’s shoes, I’d try to work that into explaining why I reacted the way I did. But Dr. Merrs may not have the patience to hear out the explanation if he’s going to milk the apology like this.
