About a dozen years ago I was submerged in toxic run-off.

[ And did he get cool powers? Is this a Bruce Banner or Harley Quinn origin story? No. ]

I had sustained a wound that bisected my brow and eyelid and opened the conjunctiva. The injury became infected, and treatment has had some... side effects.

That may not be possible. The treatment I was using was... specialized. One drop - weekly - cures most ills. More provides physical strength and speed, along with unfortunate mutations. Enough of it applied proactively can heal even fatal wounds. The chemist who created it called it Shimmer.

[ That's exactly correct. ]

I suppose we shall see what the clinic says.

Were you a practising doctor, before you came here?

I ran a city. I'll miss it very much - the city, not the running of it.

Not quite. Originally Piltover was quite literally stratified; those born in the undercity toiled amidst toxic waste and poison gas to supply those who had built over our heads. The wealthy families on the upper city council passed laws, and their enforcers enforced them, and their wealth increased on the backs of our labour.

Violent revolution failed. So instead I united all the miners and factory workers, the street gangs and the desperate impoverished, and took economic power. The council called me an industralist, at first. When I made demands, that quickly switched to insurrectionist.

Perhaps. My beloved daughter - the spraypaint enthusiast - is not exactly conductive to a restful holiday.

[ Bit taken aback by that, because it resonates. ]

Yes. Yes, that much is true.

Ah, that explains the name shown; I thought perhaps you simply considered yourself an oddity.

Silco, of Zaun. No house names for the undercity. My daughter is Jinx.

Magic? Interesting. Is that an acceptable thing to be, where you're from?

Lucky you.

How's your magical chemistry?

[personal profile] sink 2024-11-24 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Could you?

[personal profile] sink 2024-11-24 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not conventionally.

[ Smart man. Though he isn't thinking of his own. ]

Could you work with it, in blood?
