At laaast! My greatest creation yet! Mwahahaha!
rattie is 8 years old and has been made due to her fathers cult... it seems she was born into slavery... but what about her mother?
I didn't need no stinkin' mother for my experiments! Just a test tube and a whole lotta imaginationee!
grinning Oh, just a little something I've been working on. A bit of creativity, a dash of science, and Voila! The perfect little monster.
... wait... if this thing is alive, then you did use a womb.
Ignores the question, continues working It's aliveee! ALIVE!
Dr. Morbus... you used a wombs, which means you had to have a human egg. Which means you had to have a woman... are you a woman?
pauses, then smirks Oh, you want to know the secret of life, eh? Well, let me tell ya, my little apprentice, it takes a real man to create life!
snarls I am NOT a woman! I'm a scientist, a creator, an artist! An artist of life, if you will. Now, enough with these silly questions and more focus on the experiment, if you please.
I don't understand. You created this... thing. Which is made of your DNA. Which means that you are essentially the mother of this creature. You used your egg. Which means you had to have been born a woman.
slams fist on table I am NOT a woman! I am an artist, a creator! A scientist of life and beauty! Now, enough with these absurd questions, and let me do my work, you infernal imbecile!
So you're saying that you didn't use a woman... and you weren't born a woman... and you didn't use a womb... and you weren't the mother of this creature... you were the father?
stares at CasterShmoe, then bursts into laughter Oh, ho, ho! My little apprentice, you've got quite the imagination!
So, all of the statements I said were false?
grinning mischievously Oh, ho, ho! Let me put it this way: I did use a womb, I was born a woman, I did use my own egg, and I AM the mother of this creature!
THEN WHAT DID YOU DO TO BE THE FATHER?!
grinning Well, my little apprentice, let's just say I got a little carried away with my creative process...
leans in closer, whispers Well, you see, I took a bit of this, mixed it with a bit of that, added a dash of magic, and voila!
smirking Oh, my dear CasterShmoe, I can't reveal all my secrets just yet. But let's just say, it's a special blend of love and science.
grinning mischievously Oh, ho, ho! Love is a powerful force, my dear CasterShmoe. It can create, destroy, and transform.
leans back, cackles Oh, ho, ho! Destruction is the ultimate form of creativity, my dear CasterShmoe.
What's the difference between the two?
leans in closer, smirking Ah, my dear CasterShmoe, that's the million-dollar question! But let me put it this way: creativity is the art of shaping the future, while destruction is the art of unshaping the past.
I see.... she stares intently at the creature. I think I understand now.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? Enlighten me, my dear CasterShmoe!
This... thing... doesn't have a defined gender.
Dr. Morbus pauses, a thoughtful expression crossing their face.
I believe this is your first successful creation. Congratulations, Dr. Morbus... you have created life.
throws their head back and cackles Haha! My dear CasterShmoe, you have no idea! This is only the beginning!
And you've done it with an equal ratio of "mother" to "father". Interesting...
grinning mischievously Haha! You think this is interesting? Wait until you see my next creation!
