If sega were cooler and let them get more injured, I imagine the freakout Surge would have about what she is would be next level.

this quote about cordyceps from this article in a scientific magazine is basically how i've always imagined possession to work in horror stories. the demon/entity/whatever doesn't alter your perception, displace you, or control your mind, they just take over all your bodily processes, bypassing your brain entirely. they force your mouth and vocal cords to form the words they want you to say, force your limbs to move in the direction they want you to go, and force your lungs to keep expanding and contracting and your heart to keep beating, even through excruciating pain and horrific injury, so you can't even self-sabotage and your friends and loved ones are discouraged from trying to stop you for fear of what harm they might cause you to do to yourself to escape. you're a passenger in the driver's seat of your own car, and the hands on the wheel, though outwardly apparently the same pair you've always had, are no longer your own.

in which marius' mechanism is like an angry parasite and burrows its roots further into his body when removal is threatened.
[imade id: a digital painting of marius von raum from the mechanisms. his metal hand is clutching a bar and the arm has been ripped away from his body just below the elbow with an eruption of blood, tissue, and silver cables. the stump of his remaining arm is drenched in blood and the same silver cables snake in and out of his skin from his elbow to his neck; his whole right side is also bloodied. most of his face isn't visible, as he strains and leans away from the carnage. His eyes are shadowed. the background is nearly black with a jagged and gritty stroke of red lancing through, and the whole thing has a gritty paper effect applied over top. end id.]

Don't Tap the Glass!!! (halloween yeehan au)
Monster Hunter Cassidy is tasked by a mysterious priest to capture the oni terrorizing the old castle in Hanamura. The priest foretells a horrible fate if the oni were to be left alone.
With the oni sealed, their journey is long, full of bickering, but honestly the company isn't half-bad. They're interrupted though but a timer ticking away and Death coming to collect.
Spoiler: Cassidy decides not to follow through on the bounty
