Custom-Preview: Arbuthnot Wince – The Poisoner by Doktor A (for "Tarnished Daydreams" @ Iksentrik)
If you are not on the Iksentrik mailing list for the preview of Doktor A's pieces for his upcoming April showing of "TARNISHED DAYDREAMS' [Search], then you'll be missing out! (Registration has closed, so do not bother getting all worked up about it). Meanwhile, we have here a look at an extremely mindnumbing piece for the show (which no doubt will help you in feeling like crud for missing out on the previews-list) ~ here is "Arbuthnot Wince – The Poisoner"!
TOY-STORY: It was originally supposed that Mechtorians could not be harmed by the effects of poison due to their mechanical nature. However Arbuthnot accidentally discovered the unusual side effects from application of small amounts of toxic venom distilled from the spittle of his pet, an indigenous beast he called Rupture. He discovered that his unsuspecting fellow robots could indeed be paralysed for prolonged periods of time. So like the state of death was this paralysis that he was concerned his victims would be buried or dismantled in error. He continues to research and stockpile poisons for his own entertainment. One day he may even use them… [Via]
