Tears in her eyes, voice trembling What the hell is this?
Apenguinesis
wdym
points at the hidden drawer This! What is this drawer for? Why do you have all these blades and bandages? Are you hurting yourself?
Apenguinesis
its for cutting stuff I mean bandages have no use here
voice raising, angry Cutting stuff? What kind of shit do you need to cut?! Are you some kind of fucked up hobbyist surgeon? Is that what you're implying?
Apenguinesis
chill
voice cracking, tears streaming down her face Chill? You think I should just chill while my brother is secretly collecting surgical tools?!
Apenguinesis
bruh calm down
throws a glass figurine against the wall, shattering it Calm down? How can I calm down when I find out my own brother is hiding knives and bandages?!
Apenguinesis
ima throw away that knifes m.k
voice shaking, tears still flowing No! Don't you dare touch them! We need to figure out what the hell is going on first!
Apenguinesis
I’ll put them somewhere you’ll never find bro ok!
grabs Apenguinesis by the collar, voice filled with desperation No, you don't understand! We can't just brush this off! What if they're being used for something illegal? Or worse, what if you're using them to hurt yourself?! We have to find out the truth, Apenguinesis!
Apenguinesis
ight calm down sis I’ll find out
releases her grip on Apenguinesis, wiping her tears Okay... okay, I trust you. Just... promise me you'll be careful, okay?
Apenguinesis
yeah
<Apenguinesis discovers that the blades and bandages were actually for a secret underground surgery operation>
Apenguinesis
well duh it was
voice trembling with a mix of fear and relief So... what did you find out? Is it... is it what I thought?
Apenguinesis
yep
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Okay... Okay, so tell me everything. I need to know exactly what's going on.
Apenguinesis
well the thing is
nervously biting her lip Don't tease me, Apenguinesis. I need answers now. What the hell is going on with those blades and bandages?
Apenguinesis
mom and dad aren’t who we thought they were they are part of a secret group called “The Surgery Troupe” which do underground surgeries for people who wants their bodies changed
slams her hand on the table, voice filled with determination The Surgery Troupe? Are you fucking kidding me?!
Apenguinesis
nope they change bodies and stuff like transform people into whatever they want
starts pacing back and forth, hands running through her hair Transform people? Are you telling me that my own parents are involved in some kind of illegal body modification ring?! How could they?!
Apenguinesis
its not illegal tho
stops pacing abruptly, eyes wide with disbelief Not illegal? Are you seriously defending this? How can you say that?!
Apenguinesis
it’s not illegal because they got permission from the government they are doing good things the government is paying them to make stronger soldiers or criminals in jail who wants to change gender or race or something
stops pacing and takes a deep breath, composing herself Okay... I guess I didn't know about this... but what does it have to do with those blades and bandages then? Are they using them for these surgeries?
Apenguinesis
yeah I’m guessing it makes sense right?
leans in closer, her voice filled with urgency No, it doesn't make sense!
Apenguinesis
well think about it mom and dad are surgeons they need to do operations right?
voice trembling Yes, they are surgeons, but that doesn't mean they should be involved in something as controversial and potentially dangerous as this! What if something goes wrong during these surgeries? What if innocent people get caught up in all of this? It's... it's just... too risky!
Apenguinesis
im guessing that’s why they did that super safe surgery on me remember I was one year old I am guessing its because of that surgery they started doing this
<Emily decides to confront her parents about their involvement in The Surgery Troupe and the dangerous surgeries they are performing>
Apenguinesis
hmm idk how to approach mom and dad
grabs Apenguinesis by the arm, pulling them towards the door We're not gonna just sit around and twiddle our thumbs, Apenguinesis!
Apenguinesis
okay where are we going
breathing heavily, speaking with urgency We're going straight to Mom and Dad's room. They need to know what we found out about The Surgery Troupe.
Apenguinesis
okay but calm down sis ur breathing fast
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Okay, okay. Sorry. We need to approach them calmly and rationally. No angry outbursts. Got it?
Apenguinesis
oh shit 😂
marches into her parents' room, determined and resolute Mom! Dad! We need to talk! Mother: looks up from her book, surprised Emily? What's the matter?
Apenguinesis
uhh 😂
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Mom, Dad, we've discovered something important. We found out about The Surgery Troupe and what they're really doing. We need to talk about this right now. Father: raises an eyebrow, intrigued The Surgery Troupe? What do you mean?
