Life is so unpredictable with its twists and turns. Who knows what might happen...

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

( How... affectionate. He's pitying me, Zandik thought, and the bitterness in his thin mouth only grew stronger from that. I am to be pitied — what a bothersome concept. No, no, this could not be the end of him as a researcher. Surely, there is still something to be done. Think, Zandik, think... )

There is hardly anything selfish in the academic research. All things around merely fodder for knowledge. That includes Fae.

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

He thought about it for a moment, should he leave Mingze to study in peace? The desire to insert himself into the picture outweighed all other concerns. "How is it going?"

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

( Wasn't he calm? He thought he was. But in taking a moment to observe himself, Zandik found his body in tension, his teeth painfully clenched and his emotions out of balance. He took a deep breath — in and out. ) You're right. Do we still have that herbal tea? ( He needed something soothing. )

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

An observer of the experiment. Good, good. Although, how much could he really see from that far? There are more details to reveal themselves if only he stepped a little closer.

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

You know I care little for my reputation, but my research... ( It was his life's work — sure, he wasn't exactly on death's door, and maybe he could wait out the storm, but how dull would that time be, cut off from the academic conversation. The idea of it was truly horrifying. ) What am I to do?..

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Gently brushing away a green strand of hair from @baizhudearest.bsky.social's face. He looks at peace, surely, he is dreaming of something good.

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

"Indeed. Lets skip pleasantries and get straight to the business." As he took a seat, he moved the chair closer to Baizhu, subtly trying to orchestrate a better conspiratorial environment. "I am positive you had plenty of time to discuss my offer among the two of you. Now is the time to voice your

Who knows... A hormone spike, for all I know. ( Bitter. )

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

There is a colleague that doesn't particularly like me, but I'm not convinced she would go against the corporation.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

It appears I have an enemy. I am not sure who it was — yet. But I will find out, one way or another. Maybe someone snitched...

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Their boundaries are fooling. I despise them. ( He squeezed Baizhu's hand. ) Twelve years. It is a long time.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Is that what you think of me? That I am a monster? We subject human beings to horrible working conditions daily, yet to pay fairly to donors is somehow unethical. Unfathomable.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

I wish more people in the field shared this view...

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

( He looks up at him. ) You agree with me, don't you? You are on my side, Baizhu?

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

The whole system is outdated and too emotional.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

( He puts the hand away and looks at Baizhu, as the man cups his cheeks. His gaze is tired, annoyed, ..sad. ) It is so stupid.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Maybe in some third world country... ( His voice was muffled. )

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

( Marionette? Why would she need anything from her? Wasn't Athena a tad bit old for playing dolls? ) There is a volatile mix of chemicals in the air. Breathe only through the mask. ( He has one too, transparent and haphazardly put. ) We need to treat this burn, quickly.

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Sure, but I won't be able to receive research funding. Or submit any papers. It's done. I am done. ( He covers his face with an open palm. ) And in fact... they are also talking about completely barring me from engaging in stem cell research too.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Academic misconduct. ( His voice was bitter, disgusted — but not with himself. ) Arrogant fools, I achieved something grand, yet all they care about are morals and ethics. You'd be forgiven mistaking them for hysterical children, and not scientists.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Not significantly. Though I might need your assistance, child.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Okay? ( What a loaded question. ) Sure, sure. Why wouldn't I be? ( His hands disappeared in mint-green strands of hair, grabbing them in despair. ) Banned from any academic research, but yes, I am fine, yes... See...

000

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

( He goes to sit down at the kitchen table, face still distorted with emotion. ) What a day.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

"Keep your filthy fingers away. And don't breathe so loud, it's distracting."

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Awful taste immediately filled his burning throat. Dottore spat the blood out and twisted Lohen's arm away from the mouth. "Ew. You're disgusting."

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Cold hand immediately grabbed Lohen's wrist, clearly implying he must retract. Dottore was very patient, but there was no reason to entertain such childish behavior.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

He was still too much. Dottore could practically feel the vein on the neck, could almost hear the pumping of the blood inside of it. His mouth partially open, shallow warm air brushed against the fangs.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

The audacity to use him as a pillow... Dottore felt his breathing, irritating and distracting. If only the witch could tell him in advance, he could have gotten himself a bigger coffin — such close proximity was unnecessary. It was making him hungry. "Silence, please."

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

"Whining about it would not change the ritual, would it? Try to relax, else I would have no other choice but to immobilize you."

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

"Glad to know you remember that, Lohen." He lightly squeezed the young hunter's side. "Stop fidgeting."

⠀⠀ ...there is still so much we don't know, especially regarding the mysteries that lie in the starry skies. ⠀⠀

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

A loud noise and wiggling pulled him back into the present day. Ah, his little guest was awake. "Are you trying to escape?"

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

The sun was high up in the sky, spreading radiation of lies all around them. Today, he was wearing a different face, one unfamiliar to the city of wind and wine — he knew Dottore would not be welcome here, but a traveling mechanic was allowed inside no problem. As he approached the table chosen

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Dottore simply nodded. "Of course. See you in a week." And just like that, he turned around once more, going back in his original direction. Inside he was snickering.

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

"Well said, miss. And if we count in my offer, I think the outcome of the conversation in question might be quite fruitful indeed."

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

"There are spies everywhere, dear doctor. Most of their eyes are following other more important figures, yet if you were to cross paths with any of them, let's say, a certain traveling individual, well, then you are standing before their eyes as well. It's simple, really."

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Dottore adjusted the basket, details subtly clunking at the bottom. "Elaborate, please. Why, what?"

010

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

"Take your time, mull it over, discuss the issue with your companion. I am in no rush. That, however, cannot be said about you or your patients — I suggest you weigh all the pros and cons with all honesty, without prejudice. Could a monumental task like this one be achieved in a lifetime by one

THE DOCTOR. @segmentedheresy.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

"Of course. I find it interesting to find solutions for complicated issues of humanity, regardless of the national borders. Sick is just that, no matter the place, and rebalancing the scales of Life and Death is a feat worthy of research. Such is a pity, that a grand scholar body deems the subject
