@Damafaud
James Sartell, engineer.

#863

“Yup. Any specific complaint, or is this just a regular check up?” He scribbles down something on the notepad.

#864

@Damafaud
James looks a bit confused before answering

a very specific issue. I need an affordable diet regime of 50000 kcals per day. That’s why I came specificly to you.

#865

"Excessive daily energy consumption. I take that it’s a metahuman problem. Can you describe your power to help us find the root of the problem? "

#866

@Damafaud

Well, I can run superfast. I assume this power causes my metabolism to be increased by quite a factor.

#867

"I see, I see. So this is a problem of energy producing efficiency. Let’s say you are able to move 25 times faster than normal human, but your cellenergy production is still at scale factor one. There are three actions I can recommend. "

He turns his notepad and shows it to James. There are three big words on it, three dimensional words each, with excessive decorations.

"The first one is either to remove your power or never use it again forever. That will solve your problem. " Triage points at the word ‘Mundane’.

"Second one is to be a successful superhero or supervillain to the point you dont need to worry about food. " He points at the word ‘Superstar’.

“Last one is to undergo surgery to increase your cell energy production efficiency to keep up with your power.” The word ‘Surgery’ is written next.

#868

@Damafaud

Well that’s easy then. I’ll go with option 3. What are the specifics?

#869

"Surgery. Well I think you need to find a specialist for that. Cellular level surgery is difficult. Not just everyone can do it, " Triage continues.

"Well, of course I can, but I’m expensive. "

#870

@Damafaud

Well, how much do you cost then?

#871

Triage rubs the back of his head.

“…I don’t know. How much you want this surgery?”

#872

@Damafaud
Oh goody, here we go again

Well considering if I don’t do it I’m death I need it pretty bad.

#873

"Hm… How much do you have? $5,000? $10,000?

#874

@Damafaud

Hm this I can play, not being totally honest isn’t bad, plus I’ll owe him anyway money or no money

I got 5000. (actually have 20k)

#875

"Just that? Well, no matter. Have you ever been hospitalised? " Triage scratches his chin.

#876

@Damafaud

Yeah once, that was a long time ago. Some eye surgery.

#877

"Have you ever been in a fight? Cut by a sword? Impaled by a bullet? Kicked in the groin? Poked in the eyes? "

#878

@Damafaud

as far as I can remember, nope.

#879

"Then I guess you won’t like the surgery, " Triage buttons his lab coat all the way down and stretches.

"So, when do you want to start? "

#880

@Damafaud

Whenever you’re ready I suppose, I don’t have anything urgent that needs attention.

#881

"Do you bring the money? $5,000 will get you a quick, painful operation with 33% chance of death, but whatever. "
