Quote1 There's Monster Girl. Her real name's Amanda. She's a smart, successful woman trapped in the body of a monster, only when she turns back to Human, she finds that body growing progressively younger, more child-like. It's slowed down now, but she'll never be the woman she was. Never. And this guy Yeti. Believe it or not, there's a world where he's the runt of the litter, but he still fits in there. Yet he's here, helping a world that sees him as a little more than a monster. And Shapesmith. God knows what he really is, but his mind as alien as his body. Here he is, making the best of it. Le Brusier. He's a freaking dog, but he gives his all on this team, this world. This is what I see every day, Jess. People who aren't normal, people far less normal than our boy. But people who are still accomplishing great things. I'll tell you the truth, hon. Maybe Brit's Austism doesn't bother me. Quote2

Synopsis for 1st story

Outrun meets with the four men she had sex with under Embrace’s possession: Zandale, El Chupacabara, Shapesmith, and Kaboomerang. She calls them “pigs” and says that she remembers every detail that Embrace made her do. Zandale attempts to speak, but Outrun shuts him down. She asks in anger what made them think that she would turn into what she calls “a chain-smoking skank.” Zandale apologizes and argues that he is accustomed to women knowing what they want from him. Outrun becomes angry with him and he becomes angry as well, telling her to blame Embrace and not them.

Francisco attempts to calm him, but he talks about how “no means no” and sarcastically asks “is he supposed to bring an exorcist to every date.” Francisco explains that Zandale doesn’t have much experience in repercussions of his actions, comparing to what he did to his wife. Outrun becomes angry and demand that he doesn’t compare it to him. She apologizes and he accepts, stating that he can’t ask forgiveness if he isn’t willing to give it. A confused Shapesmith asks what was wrong, confused on Human culture. He states that she said he was good, “over and over.”
