-a figure sits hunched pouring over some lab results. His frame is tall and gaunt, almost sickly looking. He wears a mask that covers his mouth but most notable are his insect and arachnid features. Several eyes, antenna, and pedipalps that seem to twitch and move involuntarily-
-another figure stands next to the other, their posture small and meek. They look only slightly more healthy. Delicate feathered wings sprout from their back, some patches bald from plucking-
"Oh! I didn't see you come in!"
-the taller one stands up, adjusting his glasses before reaching out and forcefully shaking your hand-
"I'm Senior Researcher Victor Fedorov. Welcome to my lab!"
-he looks at the winged one, seemingly expecting something. When they simply stand there looking uncertain and frightened he scowls-
"Ira... dear, its rude not to introduce yourself to guests"
-finally they step forward, wings tucked close-
"I-i... my name is Ira Fedorov... Dr. Fedorov's assistant."
"Good"
-Victor places a hand on their shoulder causing them to flinch slightly. He ignores them-
"you have questions dont you? ask away! I'll answer almost anything! Provided its not... inappropriate. Then you can leave! Im not entertaining such filth! And I suppose you can ask Ira and my creations things too... im sure the Rot, Escape Artist, and Vesper wouldn't mind company"
"Please stay. A friendly face is always welcome here. but I have to warn you... Ved- i mean Victor can be violent.. and short tempered. Abuse, blood, gore, and other unpleasant things aren't uncommon here... leave if you find it to much"
