[He's sitting in his lab, typing on his phone, his expression set in a frown. After hitting 'send' he sets it down and leans back in his chair. The lighting is dim, making it hard to see his expression, but he lets out a soft and heavy sigh]

I guess no one's even noticed.

[This is his MAN THERE'S A BOLT IN YOUR HEAD expression.]

[screwloose]

[Then he blinks and looks]

Oh, yes?

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

Are you alright sir? There' is..[He point to his own head.]

[screwloose]

...Huh? Oh, this? [He turns it] Sure, of course.

[screwloose]

Don't you like it?

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

it's not that, it's just.....How can you be alive with that bolt in your head?

[screwloose]

I was very careful when I did the surgery to install it.

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

You did that to yourself?..and survived?

[screwloose]

Well, obviously I survived!

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

I can tell, but I still don't understand how.

Are you a zombie?

[screwloose]

Well, I'd explain the scientific principles and the techniques I used, but I'm not in the mood right now.

No, of course not. Why would you think that?

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

I will use the easy explanation an assume that, in your world, it's possible to live with a piece of metal in the head.

I met a lot of special people in this comm, that's why. I'm Randy Maclean.

[screwloose]

In all worlds it's possible to live with a piece of metal in your head. Haven't you ever heard of a cranial plate?

Well, I'm not a zombie. I just make them sometimes. I'm Dr. Franken Stein. Nice to meet you, Randy.

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

Yes but the pieces of metal needs to be inside of the heat. All of it. And not move.

Frankestein..really?

[screwloose]

Well, obviously I'm just more brilliant than that.

Yes, really. No, the book doesn't exist in my world. Yes, I've read it.

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

I'm sure, sir.

Well that's a really unfortunate coincidence.

[screwloose]

I dunno, I found the book had some really interesting ideas!

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

I'm going to regret this, I know it. Oh, such as?

[screwloose]

Oh, you know, like putting a new person together out of scraps.

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

And I guess that you also know that it won't end well.

[screwloose]

Well, that's the theory. But you can't believe everything you read in books.

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

I don't but creating life like that it's never a good idea.

[screwloose]

Why not?

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

It screw up the natural order of things. Would it be immortal? Would it be able to feel pain, love, enjoy life? This can be a burden for the creature you create.
