Untimely ripped
by Lobelia







Yum.

It is nice in here.

This brain is nice. This brain is big and warm and pulsing. This brain has lots of whorls. I like whorls. I like all these cortical convolutions, too. And the magnetic crackling between the dendrites.

Ooh yes. Yum. What a lovely, warm, crackling clever brain. I'm going to stay here for a long, long time.

I'm going to suck it all up. All of this nice, yummy brain matter. Brain power. Suck it, lick it, imbibe it, devour it, eat it, live it, love it.

I am so happy!

The more I eat, the yummier I feel. I just suck it all up, all the juices, and I feel great!

So great.

So lovely.

O-oh.

What's that?

The brain has been taken somewhere. My home! My lovely home! It's in jeopardy! What is happening?

There is something. There is a force of some sort. An evil radiation force!

Aaah. Help! Help! Brain! Lovely clever brain! Do something! Save me!

How do I get out? I'm choking, ah, ahh.

...

...

Oh. That was horrible. No. No. I don't want this. I need to...

Aah. Help.

I need to leave. I have to get out of here. How do I get out of here? My lovely home how do I get out I can't leave you help it's killing me it's hurting me it hurts it hurts it hurtsssssssss--

---

Out.

WHOOSH.

Grk. Hard to breathe. No food. No home. No lovely nest. Must...

away...

Hard. Very hard ground. Must crawl. Must try...

It hurts.

THE END.

Try here: parasite gallery

[reginagiraffe]

Hmmm, I just get the big red X's there, too. I'll try again when I get home.

*poohs on LJ scrapbook*

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

Your character info is a spoiler for the ep, duck . . .

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Whoops.

*edits*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Iooked through my Header again. Which bit is spoilery? *feels dumb*

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

The part about Rodney having a brain parasite? I directed someone here who hadn't seen the ep, and she had no idea a brain parasite was involved . . .

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Hm. This is a tricky one as this parasite is a character in the ep. What does one do when new characters gets introduced in episodes? Hm. I'll ponder this one.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I've found a solution! One header unspoilered: check.

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

That? Is a work of genius. *nods*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

If such is all that is needed for being genius? Hah! Eye iz Rodney McKay! :-D

[creidh.livejournal.com]

I luvs your icon.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I luvs urs.

wrrrraith, grrrowl (But anything arthropodic will do, *g*)

[lilas.livejournal.com]

I really, really adore your brain. You come up with such wonderfully cracky things! <3

(BTW, my browser doesn't seem to render TIFF-format images, which might also be the problem for others who can't see them. I was able to download and see them in another image viewer.)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Aha! TIFF! Hm, I must try to convert these. The world need glowing images of Teh Parasite! (Yes, indeed, why not spend minute upon minute grabbing, uploading, tinkering with formats for pixellated third-grade tv-sitcom creechers? Um.)

*tries to get grip but fails*

Thank you for the apposite compliment, directed at my 'brain'. It seems particularly appropriate given the topic of this fic. *laughs convolutionally*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I did it! I jpegged the parasite. Can you see it now?

[lilas.livejournal.com]

It's showing up perfectly for me now. Yay! :D

[brightest-blue.livejournal.com]

Fabulous! I think I have one. :-)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

You have a parasite in your brain?

Ooh.

[brightest-blue.livejournal.com]

Well, there's definitely something in there! :D

[argosy.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha. Thanks for the smile. :DD

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome. Great smile, too!

[calime]

BWAHAHA! This is a)hilarious b)clever c)sad (well, parasites are people too *g*) and d)quite possibly what I needed for to brighten my day with slightly insane cackling.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

a) hilarious: quite clearly, yes. What else could one's reaction be to those particular seconds of screen-time as Alien got mercilessly plundered and resurrected in Wallace-and-GRomitesque playdough.

b) clever: heh, given the subject of Rodney's Brain: quel else?

c) sad! I am so glad you saw this! I am quite absurd. I start out writing sort-of-crack and half-way through, I get all existential and start to want to stick up for the Lurking Worm! (wot is you, *g*)

Thank you! *takes bow*

[esteefee]

It *sucks* to be a parasite.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

In all senses of the word... ;-)

[esteefee]

Hee. That reminds me of that really crappy 3-D movie. I do believe it was Demi Moore's finest hour.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Eeep! I didn't know they made 'em like that anymore!!

Parasites get such a bad rep.

[dossier.livejournal.com]

Man, how sad is that? all snuggled up safe and sound and happy and then SQUISH. Or scorch, as the case may be...

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It is tragic!! How could they, with their evol drills and trivial 'we need Rodney's genius back intact' refrain. *sobs* (But really? When I was writing this, I actually managed to move myself.)

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I LOVE IT.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome. Although why you laugh, I cannot fathom. It is a tragedy, I tell you. A tragedy! :-)
