“Keith?” I frowned, noticing something.
He saw my face, and whatever he saw made him anxiously ask, “Yes?”
“What does ‘Experimental Subject Minion’ mean?” The new occupation confused me. Had he started the paperwork to transfer my citizenship without my approval? That wasn’t very nice.
Maybe people would say I shouldn’t expect the Dark Lord to be nice. I’d say they were wrong.
“Oh! That.” Keith pushed up his glasses then scratched behind his slightlypointy ear. “You signed the Experimental Subject contract a while back, and I finally finished registering it yesterday. It allowed me to immediately start paying you through your moniers guild registry the day you signed it, but it just sat in the inner sanctum until yesterday when I was cleaning things up in preparation for this trip. Now that it’s official, the contract also allows me to dismember you and put you back together properly, to provide you with restorative care such as [Revive], [Resurrect], or [Raise], to credit your contribution to any published work, and to contact your next of kin as a retainer.”
“Wow, maybe I should have read that contract more closely.” I looked over my character sheet for anything else, but it all looked fine.

“Yes?” I couldn’t imagine what had made him so uncomfortable.
“Nothing. So? Experience points? I’m not even halfway there.”
