ARE YOU WANING? WAXING? CRESCENT? FEELING GIBBOUS?
The Planet Scumm Institute for "Skeletaxonomy" is recruiting volunteers for a clinical trial of scummicillin, a probacterial designed to treat symptoms associated with body solidity, three-dimensionality, and organ, uh... having.
If you've experienced one of the following, you may be eligible to participate in our study: • Complications from one or more fullbody skeletal replacements • Out-of-body experiences brought about by illicit virtual reality "jacking" • Identity theft by mind-copied synthetics • Rust, suspension fatigue, or "Tin Man syndrome" • Feelings of inadequacy or weaponization while piloting an exo-suit • Post-expiration quasi-materiality • Shin splints • Wombats • Unexplained head detonation, with or without a pre-explosion fugue
Call the Planet Scumm Institute today for a consultation, at no cost to you.
