So, I woke up about an hour ago, and went off to the bathroom to prepare for the day. Noticed I burst a blood vessel in my left eye. Lovely. So, after the initial "Oh, crap," I started thinking about a chat conversation last night that started with semen glowing from mako and ended with me getting SERIOUS BIZNESS! on a "defend your dissertation" level (I'm sorry, everyone. I acted like a bitter turd. I fail at having a thick skin.).

Anyway, the mako in semen conversation lead to me going off to Wiki and thinking up something. Basically: "Mako goes into bloodstream, blood feeds muscles and transports nutrients. Mako is carried to muscles and into fluids. Iris and spooge glow." And that got me to thinking: "You know, if a Soldier burst a vessel, it'd probably be some of the scariest shit ever."

It also led to my attempting to refine my "mako in the bloodstream" idea (something about the dead Jenova cells in Soldiers enabling mako molecules to "glamour" themselves as whatever molecules are allowed into a particular point in the body), realizing that I have not the anatomy and physiology license points for that, and thinking, "Hey, this might make an interesting post."

And here we are.
