Commission: Stress Test (Patreon)

So here we have the so very very long awaited sequel to The Chill Pill. I didn't even realize until it was over that I'd once again given the title internal rhyme (or near rhyme, at least). This takes place a few years after the events of The Chill Pill. Hopefully it's easy enough to imagine the bridge from where his experiments left off in CP 4 and where it picks up here.

Forewarning: This character is dark. Maybe less dark, more just plain EVIL. There are some bits at the end that clarify plot points that aren't explained in the initial encounters that mitigate it, barely, so if you find yourself just so horrified that you can't handle it, I recommend hitting ctrl+f and looking for the word "pawn." Read that paragraph, see if it helps, and then decide whether or not to close down.

There are two attachments. Stress Test is the story, Sean trying out the newest iteration of his biotech he began exploring in Chill Pill. Stress Test - Epilogue is a very short aside that does some very heavy-handed work of tying Chill Pill into Tolerance. I know I'm probably never going to revisit a 3 year old story and try to bring it to completion, but this feels better than simply letting it hang. So if you did give up on Stress Test (and no hard feelings - that guy is a serious prick, even by mc standards), the epilogue is removed from the fuckery and should still be a readable accessory piece to any fans of Tolerance/The Tolerant.

Now, back to Teaching Her A Lesson. Part 14, coming soon!
