Aubrey raised an eyebrow. "Pretty much," she said, surprised it seemed like such an outlandish request. "Self-mutalation is a pretty serious around here."

"Actually yes, you're the first person who's tried to actually CUT OFF their developments," she said, her brow furrowing. "Someone else almost drowned trying to swim to mainland, but in general most people have a bit more sense."

"Yourselves, of course," Aubrey said with a bit of a grin. "Some people are making an honest effort to just... live their life. I suggest you do the same."
She looked Billy and tapped his file. "Someone like you, especially, I couldn't imagine having many more... appealing options."

"Well, I for one would prefer this to a lifetime of prison and sodomy. But I guess to each their own. You could like that kind of thing for all I know." She gave a impish grin. "But really, things could be a lot worse for you."

"Tha's wha' y'think... Tha' option's really lookin' nice, now, aye," He actually laughed, tentacles twitching in his obvious anxiousness. "Th'police wouln' be fast enough', though, even if I tried."

Aubrey just shook her head. "All I'm trying to say is... life gave you a barrel of lemons. You can make lemonaide if you want to. Or you can rot in here being sour abuot it." Aubrey winced. "Okay, so thats probably a bad analogy... but ...dammit. Look, we can go or we can sit here and argue all day."

She sighed. "I didn't choose your animal," she said. But she rolled up her sleeve to reveal her arm. You would have to look close, but if you did, a few faint scars from injecting in the same place over-again would make. Like people get with giving blood, or insulin injections. "I've done my share of being under the needle. I'm not a complete hypocrit."

At the sight of it, Billy frowned, eyebrows furrowing befor one of them raised, glancing up at her face as though to silently ask what had caused them.
