Arthur Donovan

Currently residing at: MSU Headquarters (Unreality warning as this IS an rp blog)

[osha-arthur]

So, this is where I'm at.

Life has been, well, life as usual. Lonely, practically broke, etc. And now I'm stuck in some mad scientist place the MSU headquarters, which is some kind of union but for mad scientists? I'm not too sure but that's the gist I'm getting.

And not to mention I'm being hunted down by this weird suit guy with chains, and an entire organisation behind him I've heard. Sounds like a bad slasher movie, but yeah, that's where we're at.

My name is Arthur Donovan, I use He/Him pronouns, am 27 years old, and have no fucking clue what's going on.

Hi, Evil OSHA Admin (and now Arthur admin) here, I decided to make a sideblog for Arthur to make it easier to rp the character, and also remind me to actually do it lmao. Seriously, need to do that more.

Anyway! Welcome to the blog, rules are the same as Evil OSHA, that's pretty much all there is to it, enjoy!

[union-of-mad-scientists]

Hey again, Mer. I had a quick question about Evil OSHA.

- Arthur

I can try to answer it? What's up?

@osha-arthur

[osha-arthur]

I just- what exactly would happen if I was captured? Like, I know I'm significant in this whole thing, apparently, but approximately how much pressure am I under to stay safe?

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"I am not certain, but... The Diector once mentioned that he intends to make you like him." Merlyn frowns slightly. "And I think that is essential to his plan for world domination, though I'm not sure why."

[osha-arthur]

Well that's... concerning. I don't particularly want to be like that guy.

*He chuckles slightly at his own joke*

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"Neither would I," Mer agrees, chuckling a little.

[osha-arthur]

I remember a bit about before you rescued me- something about how only I could stop him.

Is that like, legit? Am I the only one who could potentially stop him from taking over the world?

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"He certainly seems to think so..." Mer grins madly. "But that won't stop me from trying! It wouldn't be the first time I've done the impossible."

[osha-arthur]

*Arthur breaths in*

But so like, am I or am I not potentially the only thing stopping this Earth from being enslaved?

[union-of-mad-scientists]

Mer frowns. "Look... I don't know for sure. Personally, I think fate is absolute horseshit. But I don't know why they think you can stop them, or anything like that."

She smiles, and pats him on the shoulder. "What I do know is that we seem to be keeping them at bay for now, and that I won't go down without one hell of a fight."

[osha-arthur]

Well that's reassuring.

[union-of-mad-scientists]

(@osha-arthur)

Hey Mer! How've you been lately? Apologies for not talking to you much lately, I've been resting after the surgery.

Thanks again, by the way. Really couldn't be happier.

"I'm glad it went well, not that it ever could have done otherwise..."

Her smile fades slowly, and she sighs. "Honestly, though, things haven't been good lately... my daughter and her girlfriend have been kidnapped, for one thing."

There is a sword strapped to her back, which is a new development.

[osha-arthur]

Oh my god! I'm so sorry to hear that! I mean... holy shit.

Do you know who took them?

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"Yes... an organization called the supernatural historical foundation. Stay away from them." Merlyn scowls, and starts tapping her fingers on the table. "Unfortunately I do not yet know where they're being held, so I can't do anything..."

[osha-arthur]

Noted. I'll be sure to stay away.

I've... been having a bit of a rough time, as well. Nothing's happened, but... I just can't shake the feeling...

[union-of-mad-scientists]

She nods. "Ah, I can understand that... you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, aren't you? Because things are going too well for you, and you don't trust it."

Mer's expression softens. "It's a perfectly normal thing in survivors of trauma like you've had."

[osha-arthur]

... It's not just that. Or maybe it is, I don't know. I just have this feeling that something terrible is going to happen.

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"Well, I suppose you could also be experiencing a psychic premonition. But bad things seem to happen on the daily here at OSHA, so if that's the case I am not looking forward to finding out what this feeling is for."

She grimaces again.

[osha-arthur]

I guess psychic premonitions make about as much sense as anything else that's happened to me lately, you know?

*Arthur gives a weak chuckle, before reverting back to a more serious expression.*

I just... I'm having these dreams...

[union-of-mad-scientists]

Mer puts a hand on his shoulder, soothingly. "What sort of dreams, Arthur?"

[osha-arthur]

*Arthur's face goes pale*

I've... I've seen us all hurt... I've seen us all... die. And I've seen him win.

I don't think it's going to happen but... it just felt so real. And it still feels real now.

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"I am sorry to hear that..." her expression is steely. "And I've little doubt a battle is forthcoming. But I will win it. This I Swear."

[osha-arthur]

Maybe... maybe you won't have to fight.

You guys are... you're brilliant. Everyone here. What's my life compared to yours?

Maybe I'll just... I'll hand myself over. If I have to.

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"No! No, you can't! He'll turn you into something like him!" She takes a shaky breath. "And he told me once, that this was the first step, that it would hasten The End... whatever he's planning, it will be much, much worse if he gets his hands on you. For Everyone."

They scowl. "Besides, if I let you go off to be tortured, what kind of that person would that make me?" They shake their head. "No, I protect people, all who need it. Including you."

[osha-arthur]

I guess. But at the same time, I don't want to burden you, or anyone for that matter, with protecting my own life.

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"It is not a burden. It is a privilege. I am happy to help you, understand?"

[osha-arthur]

Thanks.

*Arthur sighs*

I'm sorry... I don't really know what I was thinking just then, when I said all that stuff about turning myself in. I guess I'm just terrified of this whole situation. The idea that to save my life, someone might have to be hurt, or even die.

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"Yes, well... Unlike a lot of people here, you've only got one." She smiles gently.

[osha-arthur]

I guess that's true.

*Arthur smiles a little. He seems calmer.*

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"Yeah..." she nods. "I'm glad we had this talk, Arthur. And I'm always here if you're feeling anxious again."

[osha-arthur]

Thank you. I'm glad we talked as well.

There is a sword strapped to her back, which is a new development.

[osha-arthur]

Oh my god! I'm so sorry to hear that! I mean... holy shit.

Do you know who took them?

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"Yes... an organization called the supernatural historical foundation. Stay away from them." Merlyn scowls, and starts tapping her fingers on the table. "Unfortunately I do not yet know where they're being held, so I can't do anything..."

[osha-arthur]

Noted. I'll be sure to stay away.

I've... been having a bit of a rough time, as well. Nothing's happened, but... I just can't shake the feeling...

[union-of-mad-scientists]

She nods. "Ah, I can understand that... you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, aren't you? Because things are going too well for you, and you don't trust it."

Mer's expression softens. "It's a perfectly normal thing in survivors of trauma like you've had."

[osha-arthur]

... It's not just that. Or maybe it is, I don't know. I just have this feeling that something terrible is going to happen.

Hey Mer! How've you been lately? Apologies for not talking to you much lately, I've been resting after the surgery.

Thanks again, by the way. Really couldn't be happier.

[osha-arthur]

Hey, I think we're ready to do the top surgery as soon as you are. Sorry it took so long, I got a little distracted by Jackie, and then we had to clean all that up *really* good for health code reasons.

@union-of-mad-scientists

Oh it's fine! I'm ready when you guys are.

[union-of-mad-scientists]

Okay! If you will just come down to the lab then...

[osha-arthur]

Of course, sure thing!

*Arthur gets up to follow Mer*

[union-of-mad-scientists]

They arrive. The lab is scrubbed meticulously clean, and Igor is readying his tools.

"Okay, Arthur, if you could just get on the scale? I don't want to mess up the anaesthetic dosage."

[osha-arthur]

Of course, I might not be a man of medicine but I can guess messing that up would probably be bad.

*Arthur steps on the scale*

This good?

[union-of-mad-scientists]

Mer makes a note of the weight displayed, and then ushers Arthur over to a table covered in straps.

She injects something into his arm.

The last thing he sees before going under is Merlyn and Igor, grinning madly.

[osha-arthur]

Before fully going under, Arthur whispers quietly, in his drugged-up stupor

*Fuck you, Mom.*

[union-of-mad-scientists]

When he wakes up, he is sitting in a chair, with Merlyn across from him.

"All done, Arthur. When you're a little less out of it I'll go over aftercare instructions."

[evil-osha]

"And for my next trick, im gonna make... my titties... disappear!"

*Arthur lets out a chuckle, he's obviously still out of it for the time being*

[union-of-mad-scientists]

Igor nods from the side. "Actually, Sir, I have them stored in one of my jars... just in case," he lisps.

[osha-arthur]

"Thank you for the surgery, it was... very nice of you"

*Arthur is less out of it, but still a little woozy*

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"Igor is happy to assist the guest. If you wish for amy further modifications, you just let Igor know..." He smiles toothily.

"Yeah, it really isn't a big deal Arthur. You just make sure to change the bandages once a day, and be careful when washing. It should be all healed up within the week."

[osha-arthur]

*Arthur has finally come-to*

Ah, thanks guys. This really means a lot.

*Arthur looks down at his now-flat chest and smiles, and his eyes get all watery*

You guys got a box of tissues anywhere? I'm just- I'm just really happy.

[union-of-mad-scientists]

"Ah, yeah, here." She grabs some tissues from a nearby table and hands them over.

[osha-arthur]

*Arthur dabs at his eyes with a tissue*

Thanks. Sorry for getting so emotional but, I mean, you know... it's a pretty big deal I guess.
