    ======“The Saga of Dr. Dark”(13) 8/19-20/2017

    DR. DARK’S CASTLE

    The palace is relatively clean, his servants know their work and are incredibly loyal as he programmed them to be. The main ones are human, just that he had plumbed the means of rewriting the drives so that they would be both in awe of him and loyal. Some actually are loyal which is something he has not been able to manufacture yet. He had also created more crude biomorphics akin to the alchemists’ “synthetic life” with his improvements, of course. Homonculi some larger others small all of them no matter their form of a bone china white skin and flesh. 500 years ago he had found the formula. They are all grown from that initial seed he had made. They can look human and sound human, but they are not human at all. More vegetable than animal. Near infinite plasticity and though boneless are quite solid when they need to be. And many of them can shape-shift. All of them are his best defenders and workers. They operate the defenses and eliminate all possible enemies on the island.

    They are always up beat and yet can change to dangerous on a dime. A sort of manic joviality with sharp edges—-very sharp. He goes to speak to the last one he left in charge—-Manicore.

    Manicore is large and muscular and has animal traits. Human-Lion face with triple rows of denticulated teeth, a forked tongue, bat wings and scorpion tail. All of it white,just the hairy mane is black and eyebrows. The 7’ being gets on one knee waiting for the Master and Creator to call him to look up.

    “Well it has been a long time, Manicore. How are things?” He asked in a pleasant voice.There is but a trace of some unidentifiable accent within.

    “…which is an honorable estate, and is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, and respectfully.” We remember that part at Adventure Weddings, and each scenario we offer treats the vows with respect.
