CHAPTER TEN - THIS STORY IS FUN TO WRITE BUT PAINFUL TO READ
Perkad had a bit of an affinity for blood chemistry, and she was having a bit too much fun extracting albumin from the sample. The end result was a bowl full of sticky, chocolate colored mush, with a bit of troll spit in it for luck. She jammed it into an empty lipstick tube and tried to mold it to look less sticky.
"Something tells me she won't ever put this on," she said.
"At least it was fun to make," Nunkii said, watching her make a bloody mess.
"We should make lipstick more often. Think I'd look good in light yellow green?"
"It'd get you culled," he laughed, "but yeah." He sat down in the cushion pile - Perkad's hive always had a cushion pile nearby - and asked, "What's the next part of the plan?"
"This," Perkad said, launching herself into the cushion pile with him.
"Seriously, how are you going to give her the lipstick?"
Perkad shrugged and took out her mobile device.
