In her trust files, it's noted that her body produces antibodies capable of rendering nerve paralyzers and hallucinogens ineffective, though conventional poisons still work (She's one of the few operators willing to try Blue Poison's desserts). This references Glaucus sea slugs' diet of venomous sea creatures like the Portuguese man o' war jellyfishes.

The combination of the two roughly corresponds to the identity of the Saintess.Another option would be a failed latinization of her name in kanji 初雪: 初 : first -> Prima (latin) 雪 : snow -> Nix (latin) 初雪 : First Snow -> Primanix
Projekt Red Either her designers changed the “c” in project to a “k” to reference her purpose, namely to kill (just like Mortal ‘K’ombat). Or this is a reference to the polish game studio of the same name, and their most well-known character, Geralt of Rivia. They’re both described as wolfs and hunters and were specifically engineered for their purpose.

Schwarz German for „black“, invoking connections to the her prototype, the black panther, and black tea, as opposed to ceylon tea.

CHAPTER 37
Now that Ahab has formed his death cult, he soliloquizes—and Ishmael is either eavesdropping or fabricating, but either way he means to convey the spirit of the man if not his letter. Ahab's voyage through life leaves "pale waters, paler cheeks" in his wake, sowing chaos wherever he goes yet where he goes he goes with unobstructed course and direction. His ripples are smoothed over by the billowing envy of men, but he cares not; he cares not for monuments and memorials, no, only for deeds done and the merit he acquires for himself in his own eyes. For when the sun sets, his "soul mounts up!"—his task as unceasing as the day-and-night cycle, but his soul reflecting not the light of the sun as the moon, but weighing on him with his task like the "Iron Crown of Lombardy", a small crown forged from the nail of Jesus' cross, the weight of sacrifice Ahab's to bear.
The clouds that set on his brow are no object; his Atlantean task is the crucifixion he bears, having been dismasted and reborn. He fancies himself not the son of God, but His equal in will and war, Satan made a man—set apart from the rest in charisma and intelligence, cloistering himself in his superlative ambitions whose reach leaves no room for human connection, and indeed actively forsake it through hard-hearted, eloquent guile that convinces pragmatic men to stake their lives on his goal.
Ahab must've had a perverse spiritual awakening while he lay dying, paved by his education, but instead of becoming a prophet and trying to speak God's truth, he's become the mad king whose words are iron spun like gold, who mistakes his enlightenment for alienation because he's unwilling to share it. Rather, he's content to dismiss those who disapprove of him and to brood about what he lacks: the simple pleasures of casual conversation, light-hearted humor, basking in sunlight,—"damned! most subtly and most malignantly! damned in the midst of Paradise!", his soul hibernating to incubate horrors.
Ahab reflects that leaguing his men was "not so hard a task", since he'd apparently convinced everyone—though Ishmael neglected to share how or if he was moved by the speech—to give their loyalty to him, even Starbuck who thought him mad, but Ahab, verging on self-awareness, declares:

I’m demoniac, I am madness maddened! That wild madness that’s only calm to comprehend itself!

Where Ahab goes, there turbulence will be in his wake, so long as his grandiose task remains his ultimate goal. The men's diversity doesn't faze him:

my one cogged circle fits into all their various wheels, and they revolve.

High aloft, Ahab can view and move men as "ant-hills of powder", ignitable thanks to Ahab's own fire, that makes his seldom-used pillow into an oven-baked brick. This hellfire leads Ahab to proclaim his apotheosis:

I now prophesy that I will dismember my dismemberer. Now, then, be the prophet and the fulfiller one. That’s more than ye, ye great gods, ever were.

Where gods use fate and fortune to move men on the world as their gameboard to achieve their ends, transcendent and detached, Ahab is both player and piece, and strives to cast out fate from within and retake fortune to his own whim and will, to become a self-moved mover. Ahab's soliloquy includes a direct challenge to the gods:

come and see if ye can swerve me. Swerve me? ye cannot swerve me, else ye swerve yourselves! man has ye there.

Ahab fancies himself a river, faithful to the ungraspable impermanence of life, yes, but immovable in his self-set course, the iron rails of his destiny laid out in defiance of all forms of fate other than his own:

Naught’s an obstacle, naught’s an angle to the iron way!

Ahab doesn't consider that even his actions could be part of providence, for he's excluded all other purposes than piercing the masked dark of Plato's cave as paths to fulfillment. Active commitment to misery, nothing to blunt it, as though this iron way would falter and betray its fragility otherwise.
———
CHAPTER 38
Starbuck sees Ahab's "impious end", but has been so overwhelmed that Ahab's charisma may well be a new form of fate befitting the quest for apotheosis we're seeing unfolding:

the ineffable thing has tied me to him; tows me with a cable I have no knife to cut.

Starbuck bemoans that Ahab's chief source of hypocrisy is that he would treat his superiors to democracy—though, from the last chapter, only to outwit them, the gods, on an even playing field—but everyone else to his despotism. Starbuck saw Ahab's "lurid woe", a weight that would crush him or any other man to bear, a violent and contagious atheism that Starbuck believes forced him "to obey, rebelling"—to rebel against God, by obeying the man who stands against Him. But God isn't jealous or petty, Starbuck reasons, so He may forgive Ahab and ensure that they never cross paths with the white whale. That's a pittance of hope, after seeing Ahab's determination, and Starbuck isn't ready to acknowledge that despite the leaden, locked weight of his heart evidencing plainly enough that he has no hope of Ahab's woe dissipating before his success or failure.
This really is the Dusk of Starbuck's soul; his "soul beat down and held to knowledge,—as wild, untutored things are forced to feed", he awakens to the horrors of the voyage: the "heathenish crew", the white whale as their "demigorgon"—an abyssal, creative god likely synonymous with the forbidden demiurge—, even the water itself taking on "wolfish" and "sharkish" qualities whose howl hunts Ahab, drawn along in the aft by the "gay, embattled, bantering bow"—the ship itself gradating from sunny to tenebrous while the vast deep latches onto Starbuck's newfound paranoia. Starbuck finds his hope in finding the horrors outwards, enabling him to fight the "grim, phantom futures" "with the soft feeling of the human in [him]". Starbuck might just have the guts for a mutiny at this rate, finding it in him to defy Ahab's blasphemous fate.
———
CHAPTERS 39&40
With more stageplay directives, Stubb soliloquizes about how

a laugh’s the wisest, easiest answer to all that’s queer; and come what will, one comfort’s always left—that unfailing comfort is, it’s all predestinated.

Carefree Stubb is trying to take in stride the outcomes of this voyage, outcomes that are out of his hands, no matter what they be, refracting Starbuck's newfound horror and finding the "waggish leering" that lurks in it—for now Starbuck has received the same treatment that Stubb did, and both men now share in some of the burning light that Ahab harbors, slight shares that were yet enough to send both spiraling into existential crises of reflection—on fate and death and God—higher than either would otherwise ever take interest in.
Whereas Starbuck responded by renewing his courage, Stubb reacts with forced, delirious humor, conflating it with wisdom, trying to abate his worry about not being able to return to his family, his love bubbling up—light, gay, and fleeting—like alcoholic froth to be swallowed down. The aside directive when Stubb is summoned from his nightwatch by Starbuck seems like a fourth-wall break, if that concept means anything for a non-play acting like a play—but it makes this scene feel surreal.
Uh, the whole crew of watchmen gets a musical scene, those awake filliped and those asleep deadened by the wine of Ahab's charisma—despite having no choice in their assigned roles, each man has to make peace with his newfound sense of inevitability, one sailor trying to invite the sleepers up with the pronouncement that now is "the resurrection; they must kiss their last, and come to judgment." This chapter is a full-fledged song-and-dance play-script, and Ishmael didn't bother learning many sailors' names—only their ethnicities—despite knowing the mother's maiden name and backstory of many other characters. One is even named "3D Nantucket Sailor"; so glad he's not a flatlander.
Tashtego mocks the song-and-dance, and the old Manx sailor wonders whether they have any idea what they're dancing over. The "whole world's a ball" and the course is set and fixed, so let them, green and jolly, let them celebrate and drink life while it's still brimming and frothing. Some of them are already horny and lonely, commiserating over the lack of women to distract themselves from a coming storm—the first karmic storm of Ahab's death cult, perhaps. Ahab has no fear of storms; worse, his direction is to attack the squalls—"fire your ship right into it!" The storm darkens angrily, a formation in the sky like Ahab's birthmark: "lurid-like, ye see, all else pitch black."
Daggoo, "quarried out of [blackness]", takes offense to this fear of the storm's dark, but grimly assents when told that his "race is the undeniable dark side of mankind", the same sailor provoking him into a fight. "Knife thee heartily! big frame, small spirit!" The crew eggs them on; the whole scene is frenzied. "A row a’low, and a row aloft—Gods and men—both brawlers!" A recreation of the arena in which "Cain struck Abel. Sweet work, right work! No? Why then, God, mad’st thou the ring?" The Manxman questions why God created the conditions for violence and then discouraged it.
The stormy climate keeps cutting off the thoughts the sailors try to express, leaving loose-ended, half-baked confusion—and the fight is interrupted by urgent orders to prepare for the oncoming squalls, their white froth every bit as ominous as the black storm overhead, yet to Pip less so than the white squalls of the maddened men seeking now the white whale. Timid Pip prays to "thou big white God" to save him from the men whose fear has been overridden by drunken courage, which is doing no good for the race relations aboard the ship. The chaos of this chapter sets up the ironic contrasts between black and white—both foreboding and hostile to many—in man and God and nature.
———
CHAPTER 41
Aha, Ishmael admits that he too was taken in by Ahab's charisma:

A wild, mystical, sympathetical feeling was in me; Ahab’s quenchless feud seemed mine.

But Ishmael had a sympathy, whether unrelated or pretextual, before even meeting Ahab; this is halfway to what he wanted, a noble part in a great tragedy. After immersing himself in the death cult, Ishmael gathered all the information he could about the white whale, how it "haunted those uncivilized seas mostly frequented by the Sperm Whale fishermen", how it evaded capture in both body and idea because of the scattered, prolonged, uncoordinated trajectories of the whaling vessels, and how "as of late" attacks by sperm whales "of great ferocity, cunning, and malice" were frequent.
Instead of possibilities like sperm whales who survived whalers becoming hostile toward shy, or the ocean itself starting to reject its guests, Ishmael jumps to the conclusion that every such report must have been an encounter with the whale. Since sperm whales are terrifying enough, few thought anything special about Ahab's tale, sharing Starbuck's stance about it being a "dumb brute", despite bouts with this whale leading to calamitous bad luck that ensured it always slipped away with minimal damage.
Sailors' proneness to superstition allowed rumors of Moby Dick to circulate and metastasize "as the smitten tree gives birth to its fungi"—whalers in particular, being likeliest of all to be "brought into contact with whatever is appallingly astonishing in the sea", exactly what is needed to stimulate the imagination and birth a modern myth, an urban legend spanning most of the watery part of the globe that eventually made otherwise daring hunters outright refuse to give chase to that whale, perhaps the greatest portend of bad luck any seaman could come across, hinting as it did of "supernatural agencies" and "morbid hints" beyond the scope of a normal sperm whale's destructive aggression.
Ishmael accuses of "professional inexperience, or incompetency, or timidity" anyone who would avoid hunting a sperm whale while willingly pursuing other large whales, as though the tests of mettle such whales pose are relatively unremarkable—perhaps as a rite of passage, for being able to challenge and usurp the monarchs of the sea. Non-American whalers—thus those less ambitious in their ambits—had seldom encountered sperm whales except in fairytales, but those who did demystified their stories only to trade them for confrontations with the sublime, "pre-eminent tremendousness" of the real deal, sperm whales in this setting reported as being unanimously anxiogenic and malicious to everything else in the sea—despite sperm whales having been elusive, hence the bowhead whales popularly regarded as the monarchs of the sea. That slipperiness and shyness has given way now that Americans dare to graze the whole ocean surface to exploit its oily, blubbery resources.
While "the general experiences in the fishery" amended some of the overblown rumors, such as that sperm whales were so scary that their mere presence caused other fish to kill themselves, the worst sperm whales had to offer ever renewed the superstitions that condensed into the myth of Moby Dick, which nevertheless many men were hardy (or foolhardy) enough to push themselves through for monetary gain were they to "chase and point lance at such an apparition". Claims of encounters with a monstrous whale at the same time at faraway places created the fancy that the white whale was ubiquitous or, perhaps courtesy of a hollow Earth with expedient currents, unfathomably fast; and that it was immortal, or possessed of such great durability and regeneration that it might as well be. One of Moby Dick's distinct features is a "pyramidical white hump", like the unkickable pyramid Stubb's dream used to symbolize Ahab, or even the ancient pyramids used for astronomical panoramas, encompassing in one view the starry sky.
Whereas the jarring storm in the last chapter was fearsome for its blackness, this whale's whiteness is the storm's complement: black storm descending from the heavens of the white God, white whale ascending from the hells of the black abyss; dark, Satanic Ahab with his white wake there to meet both head-on at their point of convergence, the limen of the surface. While the whale's magnitude and hue were unsettling enough, it was its "intelligent malignity", displaying abstract reasoning enough to deceive and escape all whalers theretofore, that reached through the wall of the mythos to strike fear into the hearts of listeners.
What kind of whale acts routed to lure whaleboats after it, only to suddenly spring on them and stove or repel them? And in marked contrast with the "serene, exasperating sunlight, that smiled on, as if at a birth or a bridal"—as shipwreck and lost limbs lay strewn about. Moby Dick is not just a killer; it might be an artist with a keen sense of irony. It lured Ahab in such a way, and "swam before him as the monomaniac incarnation of all those malicious agencies which some deep men feel eating in them"—malice "to whose dominion even the modern Christians ascribe one-half of the worlds".
To Ahab, vengeance has not just the appeal of piercing the fatal wall of Plato's cave, but of purging the world of an idea of evil, as if will and fury could localize such a subtle and vast sweep into one body.

He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.

Where Ahab errs most, apart from misunderstanding that the symbolism of literary monsters doesn't work like that—that would be some fine magic if it did—, is that he even sets himself against "all truth with malice in it", refusing to accept the essential reality of evil and in part thereby partaking in evil with his sacrificial machinations.
In Ishmael's mind, Ahab heaped on the whale all of the rage and hate felt in human history—not just toward whales, thus not just against the morale of Jonah's fable, but all sense of injustice, man the measure and maker of moral means and meanings. Ahab's wrath toward the whale began as any other man's, festering in his anguish on the passage home, strapped in a straitjacket because of his lunatic outbursts, to turn him into who he is now:

then it was, that his torn body and gashed soul bled into one another; and so interfusing, made him mad.

His bronze, hollow body is the result of optimal decoction to blur the mind-body—and also idea-object—gap, enabling the grandiosity of his plans, himself the cult leader to execute them, his agency turned to instrumentality as he locked himself into the cogwheel of the fate he set for himself, his version of freedom, here—if I am interpreted "living instrument" right—a form of servitude baser and weaker than that of heeding God's plan. And with the bindings of his charisma, those he entrains into his orbit are heretics who lose all of the merit of faith and gain what? Gain the glory, fleeting and perhaps phantasmic, of following a great man? Lose themselves in the constitution of the mythos pseudo-prophetic Ishmael weaves them and himself into?
Ishmael withholds a straight description of Ahab's role, declaring it "vain to popularize profundities, and all truth is profound." Ahab's "whole awful essence" resides deep underground, a captive king with a broken throne, mocked by the gods he equals himself to, a pillar holding up history and the upper earth with his frozen brow—frozen by the Cocytus, perhaps, the lamentational river commemorating the doom wrought by knowing betrayal. Ahab caught glimpse of his state:

all my means are sane, my motive and my object mad.

—yet he lacked the power to alter truth, only to deceiving men about his sanity—or, as Peleg, happily overlooking his moodiness for the whales it would butcher.
This chapter is called "Moby Dick", but there is no Moby Dick without Ahab, nor Ahab, however superlative and unsaintly, without Moby Dick. And there would be no mad Ahab if any aboard the Pequod had seen through his ruses, nor if any of the mates were more than "morally enfeebled"—Starbuck with his "unaided virtue" (and lying about having no-one on his ship who doesn't fear whales, when literally the other three officers don't fear whales), Stubb's "indifference and recklessness" (from being a druggie with little respect for life or thought of death), and Flask's "pervading mediocrity" (from treating the whaling enterprise as a sadistic comedy show).
None of them were a match for Ahab's bewitching "evil magic" that struck in their impious chests the fear of God—but no god other than Ahab himself, whose forcible contagion of his vendetta may well have been telepathy. Ishmael doesn't even try to explain how this all fits together, nor does he show guilt or shame about having been taken in in like manner himself, only admitting that he gave himself "to the abandonment of the time and the place"—to a feud that Ahab's madness made timeless, spanning the history of mankind, against a monster coeval and co-evil with mankind, who could be at once many places on the globe.
One part of Ahab knows well what he's doing is futile and atrocious; another part thinks that he's tallying the debt of the original sin with the premium fetched by butchering the whale incarnating all sources and targets of human wrath, those perhaps being God's wrath—such an infinite task that the sacrifice of a handful of men seems a fair price, if not a pittance, for its accomplishment.

The subterranean miner that works in us all, how can one tell whither leads his shaft by the ever shifting, muffled sound of his pick?

Ishmael is unequipped to analyze the unconscious, inward, homuncular workings of fate—but his instincts told him to learn about Ahab before boarding, and he didn't listen.

CHAPTER 42
Ishmael moves on to explaining what the white whale was to him, on top of being his primary motive for sailing. "It was the whiteness of the whale that above all things appalled me." Leaning fully into the mystical monster motif, Ishmael shudders to articulate the whale's horror in comprehensible terms, and starts by outlining the broadest contours of it with his symbolic associations to whiteness: beauty, royalty—Ahab's sultanism is conveniently unmentioned—, the white man's "ideal mastership over every dusky tribe", joy and gladness, innocence, "the benignity of age"—in stark contrast with Ahab's iron grey iron way—, honor, "the majesty of Justice in the ermine of the Judge", "divine spotlessness and power", and even redemption—all of these, more or less relevant to the whale, pale in comparison to the terror that raw whiteness untamed by any of these contexts, thus marring them with its irony and dissonance, produces, such as from polar bears—"invested in the fleece of celestial innocence and love"—or great-white sharks, their silent lethality earning them in French a name connoting (with no etymological basis) requiems, or angelic albatrosses, "whence come those clouds of spiritual wonderment and pale dread".
For Ishmael, the albatross, thanks to its vast range, is a reminder of "the miserable warping memories" of civilization, compounded by his witnessing of one being captured and forced to send a letter, a holy messenger demoted to a mailman. Most of Ishmael's associations with whiteness have been to things integral to modern civilization, their meaning and primacy challenged by the great animals that have borne white and its terrible significance since the dawn of Adam. He even calls the white steed an "apparition of that unfallen, western world"—whiteness becomes a reminder of the immaculate debt, not one blotch made in it by the whole monumental passion of humanity's lineage, accrued from the original sin.
The religious whiteness attests to this: that becoming like God means donning white clothes, which admits to being far from God, constituting such practices as pretensions. Whiteness is the unattainable moral purity that people think they strive for, yet ever fall short of, unable to find grace or glory from within and trying to recreate and master it with their trinkets, their incapacity to do so forced upon them in the encounter with a white apex predator. The white symbols of dominance take this further: under the guise of bringing moral purity, restricted to their faction under their flag, people's conquests abstract them ever-more from whiteness of soul, often while blaming their victims' blackness of skin for everyone's blackness of sin—spiritual death.
Ishmael even regards albino people as more abhorrent than disabled or black people, but segues back into the whiteness of death: white squalls that strike abruptly to wreck ships, the "marble pallor" of corpses, ghostly fog, death as the "king of terrors". White is uncanny, its portend of things being out-of-place a subtle resonance with what is unhomely in ourselves, what our bodies and souls can't home that we would like them to—enduring physical and moral vitality. Ahab aims to use his overwhelming physical vitality to remove moral vitality from the equation of human flourishing.
Ishmael invokes "hooded" and "phantom" several times each here, hearkening back to his reference in the first chapter to the white whale as a "grand hooded phantom, like a snow-hill in the air"—Ishmael makes little use of snow in his associations, but the eerie quiet and concealment it provides is implicated in each case.
The subtle and sublime terror of whiteness is complementary to that of a raging storm, and can manifest even to the uneducated in a mention of the White Suntide of the descent of the Holy Spirit to prognosticate the tidings of the end times, blurring the life-and-death boundary with karmic, salvific promises.
The phantasmic quality of whiteness may also point to all of this religious talk as being smoke and fog, empty distractions from the possibility that what follows death is nothing but eternal paralytic silence, no grand unity, no pearly gates at the end of a successful redemption arc—Ishmael's rambling is so unfocused that it comes across as him deliberately avoiding drawing connections like these, as though the powers of whiteness he's evoking are seeping into his own words to his own eyes. And that's a funny thing: he's writing on white paper, his creative act blemishing it with black ink—which is a lousy substitute for the black blood of the white whale—, but that interplay, the creativity and communication indissociable from the whiteness of paper, is not brought up.
Ishmael contents himself with claiming that certain white entities have significant effects on people, but not why unless the explanation is palatable—the ironic dissonance of the white predators can transfer over to these religious and other symbols, but their analogous implications would be far more calamitous to Ishmael's already-infirm faith, faith that has consistently been sublated by, and thus subordinated to, whaling—all of these symbolic resonances comprise a collage of the panoramic white whale, of its mere surface, already vast and haunting enough, and which Ishmael is suspiciously reluctant to try to penetrate despite having the intelligence and experience to.
This surficial contouring takes the shape of avoidance, which can only be achieved by his subterranean miner knowing the position of what lurks in the volcanic depths of his unconscious. Ishmael often relates whiteness to gripping or stimulating the imagination, such as an artist would appreciate, but he showed in chapter one that he understands the import of context in artistry—water unique in its motion being tranquil—, context lacking here through nondifferentiation, a polyphony whose sheer pluripotential is cacophonous.
In the disaster-stricken city of Lima, white's purity "keeps her ruins for ever new; admits not the cheerful greenness of complete decay"—there is the irony of Lima connoting lime-green, and perhaps of death's horse being chlorine-green. Where green signals change, the freshening of death-and-rebirth cycles, white is timeless, locks its pallid corpses in marble tombs to be forever silent.
White is also impotent by itself, but exacerbates the terrible effects of entities it manifests in; white is ungraspable, no less than any other color, because it can only be apprehended through a white thing with a white context given to it that excludes other possible resonances, doubly so for the unimaginative mind—would a sailor near shore feel trepid at white water because of its whiteness or because of the stoving rocks it may conceal? What about the "boundless churchyard" of Antarctic seas, a desolation in which it would be too easy to lose oneself? Ishmael defends himself from the hypothetical accusation of this chapter being "a white flag hung out from a craven soul" by citing instinctual knowledge "of the demonism of the world", which implies that anyone who doesn't share his fear is both unimaginative and ignorant—unknown unknowing, unlike his known unknowing.

Though in many of its aspects this visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright.

Whiteness is a harpooneer of the void, piercing the soul with "the thought of annihilation", "a dumb blankness, full of meaning", "a colorless, all-colour of atheism", the truth behind the meretricious veil of coloration—the "mystical cosmetic" of light is white, its mediums birthing color. White is the splendor of God and the pallor of His absence, the lack of an in-between, the profound, profane indistinction between the two, and the metaphysic impli(cat)ed thereby. Ishmael has well-earned his mic drop: "And of all these things the Albino whale was the symbol. Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt?"

CHAPTERS 43&44
During a night-watch, a sailor circulates gossip about stowaways, with a hint that Ahab knows of them, and that the mates know he knows of them. This seems to refer back to the ghosts Ishmael and Elijah saw running to the Pequod very early—and since the ship was locked-up tight, if these were fleshy people, someone had to let them in, someone privy to the schedules of the final preparations. And someone else earlier pointed out how Ahab regularly slinks off for clandestine meetings, which would imply that Ahab boarded those hidden people, and convinced them one way or another to devote three years of their lives to him.
I assume these would be consultants or hunters, men to help with Ahab's quest and whom he can trust where he doesn't trust Starbuck or anyone else on the crew, who think him mad or lack ability. They could also be ghosts, especially after the recent monologue about spectral whiteness.
Ahab also spends a lot of his time with his chart, trying to map out the currents of the globe as precisely as he can, in relation to all the documented positions of sperm whales he could acquire. The lamp, suspended in chains overhead, is emblematic of his conscience—as we've been conditioned to associate lamplight with moral compasses—, shackled to light on his sole purpose.
Ahab knows of the migratory clockwork of sperm whales, the exactness of their instincts' directions—or "secret intelligence from the Deity"—far surpassing that of any navigational instrument, and tried to lay out the best spots to sail throughout the year for the best chances of crossing paths with a vein of sperm whales containing the white whale—Ahab the prospector of the pale mask concealing the gears of the gods of the world. Even with all the information at his disposal, this needle-in-a-haystack would seem hopeless to anyone with less than absolute faith in their resourcefulness and the worthiness of their cause.
Ahab's determination turns impossible odds into probabilities, "every probability the next thing to a certainty", a miracle in the making. While the sightings of Moby Dick gave no guarantee that it would reappear in those places the same time of year, an area called the Season-on-the-Line had seen the whale at regular times for several years straight: "there the waves were storied with his deeds; there also was that tragic spot where the monomaniac old man had found the awful motive to his vengeance."
The Pequod missed the interval for the SotL this year, so she will have to spend the next almost-year "in a miscellaneous hunt" with non-zero but unflattering odds of a fateful encounter with the white whale along the way. Moby Dick is utterly singular, so the matter of recognizing it was no issue—even the harpooneers know well what it looks like.
Ahab routinely works himself into torments of faintness dwelling on the whale, and his time spent on the deck in open air is just a recovery period between being able to brood and chart and maybe consort with his ghost passengers. It was common for Ahab's nightmares to jolt him awake:

these spiritual throes in him heaved his being up from its base, and a chasm seemed opening in him, from which forked flames and lightnings shot up, and accursed fiends beckoned him to leap down among them

—incubating this inward hell is the source and secret of Ahab's monstrous power, but these outbursts stemmed from his soul, dissociated in sleep from the iron leash of his mind to flee from his purpose, which had gained "self-assumed, independent being of its own", that malign purpose incarnating both Prometheus and his vultures gnawing away his spirit's organs, leaving it "without an object to colour, and therefore a blankness in itself." Ahab is the very monster he's promised to destroy, bending not just fate but chance and spirit to his will, and so gripped by trauma that his freedom of will—or its exercise here—is dubious at best.
———
After chapter 42, The Whiteness of the Whale, it felt like everything had fallen into place, all of the physical and philosophical set-up accomplished. I was so moved by chapter 42 that I am only halfway joking when I want to label Moby Dick a horror story. Melville understands how literary monsters work on a profound level that, conceptually, no one I'm aware of even comes close to. All of Ishmael's loose threads collaging the immeasurable surface of the monster, and then how they were abruptly and marvelously tied together near the end with the nucleus of a legitimate metaphysic—I was floored. One thing that often elevates epics above other works is their usage of metaphysics rounding out their cosmology and permeating their entire world with the story's thematic values. (My sample size is admittedly small, but Dante and Milton do this as well.) In this case, whiteness is the indissoluble, all-or-nothing tension between God and no God, and the existential dread people hide from or expose themselves to with their positive and negative symbols of whiteness.
I had these commentaries written up a few days ago and read ahead, and I totally lost steam for coming up with new, enriching things to say. This will be my last post on Moby Dick for a while, I think. If I strain myself to squeeze meaning that just isn't flowing fairly organically to me, I'm worried that I'll not only stop enjoying the ride but also that my pacing will grind to a halt. And I've already spent just about a month reading this. It's certainly worth three months if this level of quality is consistent throughout, but forcing myself to commentate on it daily is just needless stress. And like I said, the end of chapter 42 felt like a tipping point.
That said, Ahab has shot up into my top-5 favorite characters. Everything he says is pure gold, and his borderline-supernatural powers are written in such a compelling and reasonable way that he edges out Milton's Satan, another top-5er for me, in some respects because of how grounded he is and how direct his influence and its consequences are. This is what people probably imagine cult leaders are like, and the fact that cult leaders do exist makes Ahab's abilities plausible even if I've never met anyone who came close to being able to do what he does. The fact that his purpose became a self-sufficient thoughtform in the same area as his mind and soul, and not just that but led his soul to try to break free from his body, is chilling—and his self-awareness craftily maneuvers so as to never lead him to a genuine epiphany, totally detached from the implications of the words Ishmael puts in his mouth he thinks he believes. Here is a man at war with himself, with his fellow men, with the world, with God, and with the possibility of the absence of God. His situation reminds me of one of the times (73-78) Satan almost comes off his warpath:

Me miserable! which way shall I flieInfinite wrauth, and infinite despaire?Which way I flie is Hell; my self am Hell;And in the lowest deep a lower deepStill threatning to devour me opens wide,To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heav'n.

He's staked his identity so deeply in his retribution against God and fate that if he gave that up he would have a very, very long road to redemption. Despite his capacity, he is hollow; from the start, he was prepared to abandon his family, sacrifice his crew, and do absolutely anything necessary to strike into the depths of the heart of the world. At the same time, his moral failures are why Ishmael is here writing this story. There's enough foreshadowing to conclude that the Pequod is going to sink because of Moby Dick and Ahab's brazen tyranny, which means that Ishmael survived to tell the story. Is there a reason for that, somewhere in the tangled white knot of various concepts of fate that have been threaded together and in which free will, foreknowledge, and chance have snaked their ways? A project as large as this novel implies that he found his will to live, if he's sitting down and committing to it; and it's not a project that would be feasible to work on at sea, with how hard sailors seem to be worked. Moreover, someone would need a compelling reason to undertake such a story. Whatever happened to Ishmael on the voyage must've been something profound.
The paradoxical, inexhaustible, and ambiguous nature of the whale itself hearkens all the way back to the image of the ungraspable phantom of life in which Narcissus drowned in the first chapter, the transient self-image that obsesses and beckons us, that compels us to understand while tantalizing us with how it is nothing but a reflection on a surface—no depth, not even the solidity of being a surface. If these depths are accessible, they are so in a form that frustrates any efforts to capture them in definitive, plain language. I mean, if Ishmael had a straightforward message for us he would've been an essayist or preacher and not a doorstopper novelist.
Taking us on this massive journey, charged with his embellishments and astute digressions, seems to be his way of leading us to glimpse the mystical, mythical experience that inspired his writing this. He attributed to Bulkington the transcendence participated in through a violent death at sea, through being consumed by the intolerable truth of that ungraspability, that abjuration of all solid ground, which, taken for truth, is treacherous, a lure that ensures doom while assuring lee—lee that can mean either shelter or dregs (the body being the lees of Ishmael's better being), and the lee shore turning the lee into something to avoid at all costs. Ishmael's obsession has often felt like him being bitter that he's wasted the rest of his life trying to glimpse that transcendence, and that level of obsession, particularly with its outright disregard for knowledge and reasoning he undoubtedly had access to, would only be sparked by a direct encounter with it, and marinated only by having the temperament and mindset to reflect on it—exactly what occurred to Ahab and twisted him into a human Satan. That also implies that a lot of the digressions are Ishmael trying to catch us up to his mindset to be able to receive his prophetic message in a meaningful form.
So yeah, I fully intend to finish this novel, but play-by-plays are off the table now for at least a while. I've also been feeling terrible, like, pretty much since late November, and the last week (basically right after I finished chapter 42) or so I've been spiraling, with very little mental energy and clarity to spare. I want to try to do a more comprehensive commentary of the moral, existential, and religious landscape once I have more energy and have made more progress. Well, we'll see how that goes. I appreciate this community for giving me a supportive space in which to share my thoughts, as long-winded and amateurish as they are.

4 Hands
All I could think to myself was “Fuck, No parking.” A hundred or more cars lay in front of me with the kind of organization you come to expect from used car lots and repair centers. Still, given the number of businesses listed in one business park, you’d think there would be one damn real parking lot. But no, I was forced to parallel park my 2010 Mercedes between two large work trucks. As I stepped out of the right side of my car I was careful to check to see that more cars weren’t coming down the narrow pathway. I was still getting used to cars coming down the left side of the road since moving to the UK for work. Driving really wasn’t that hard, it just takes your brain time to readjust to how weird things look after leading a whole life the other way everyday.
I couldn’t even see where I was supposed to be going. Online the Map search lead to a street view of an auto-garage. I would have assumed it was all a scam if the website for the massage parlor hadn’t looked so professionally done. I mean, seriously, internet scams can be pretty complex these days, but a fully functioning website that is updated daily, has working phone numbers and doesn’t ask for any money up front? It had to be legitimate.
To assuage my own anxieties about undercover police officers and being sent to holding cells naked, I did my own research about how legal this all was. As it turns out, at least according to the hundred or more website that I reviewed, nude massage in the UK is legal. Sure, all of the websites use thinly veiled terms like “100% Full body”, “Deluxe Package”, and “Tantric Massage.” It was that last one that really got my attention. I had routinely been getting traditional deep tissue massages for most of my adult life just for muscle soreness and relaxation; but I had never come across this term before. So when I did a browser search for local massage places to get a normal end of the week massage, I was surprised to come across so many establishments offering this service I had never before heard of.
I am ashamed to admit how enticing I found the whole idea. I’ve never in my life considered going to anything like a prostitute. Honestly the very idea of doing something like that actually made me kind of sick and unaroused. But the idea of a beautiful naked woman rubbing up and down by body while giving me my normal deep tissue massage, well, I admit… I found that beyond intriguing. I have never had trouble meeting women at any time in my life and I didn’t feel lonely or any of those other excuses that men give for doing this type of thing. If you get down to brass tax, I was just very excited by the idea and could not see a downside. As usual, my adventurous side won the internal debate. Afterall, I was single, it’s legal, and I had no intention of having sex with or exchanging fluids with anyone. What harm could a hand job do?
I had to send another text to the number from the website. “Where is your place? I just see a parking lot of old cars and a few guys in coveralls.”
“Look for the sign.” They replied after almost 5 minutes.
“What sign? I don’t see anything.” I wrote back hoping that my frustration was appropriately conveyed.
“Down The Alley”, they wrote back. I am willing to admit that the poor grammar and punctuation irked me in my already annoyed state. I was almost starting to feel that this was even more of a mistake and just leaving. But then they wrote again.
“Go straight Ahead. Your Appointment is now.”, again with the weird capitalization. How did they know I should be going straight ahead? I peered around for cameras hoping that my dark sunglasses made me look more casual; but I didn’t see any anywhere. I kept wondering to myself where they could be seeing me from while I started to walk ahead.
As I passed by the men in greasy coveralls, I expected to have that high school type feeling of being judged by people who didn’t even know my name. However, as I did my best to again use my sunglasses to obscure me watching them to see if they were watching me, I was surprised to find that they had hardly taken notice. They went about their business attending to the cars replacing price stickers and buffing hoods. Not a second glance was given.
Sure enough, I proceeded to find an alley ahead of me. There it was lodged between a half burned out autoshop that I was surprised to see was still in business and a dingy used Auto-sales office. No other people could be seen in or around the alley. As I approached the opening to the enclave, the aforementioned sign began to come into view. Who were they kidding? The sign was huge. But despite its size, it was on the ground at eye level with the fence at the far end of the alley. The letters were so large that you could only actually make out the A-S-S of “massage.” The wordplay in this was not lost on me. I don’t see how it could have been lost on anyone with eyes and a basic grasp of the English language. I had no doubts that whoever had set the sign up probably thought it was funny as all hell.
The alley was largely empty other than some leaves and a few pieces of carpet remains that looked like they had been stripped from the floor of one of the old shaggin-wagon vans out in the used car parking lot. At the end of the sidewalk, you had no choice but to make a left out of the alley thanks to the fence the sign was posted on. The sign could now be seen in full view: “Worther’s Naturist Spa and Massage.” It was obvious whoever commissioned the sign had at least thought that it would be the real centerpiece of this business park or possibly of a roadside billboard. It’s sheer size for a small independent business of any kind was almost comical. It actually made me chuckle a little bit when the irony of this huge sign being for a business that likely prided itself on at least a modicum of discretion.
Now I could see the real entrance to the massage parlor. A clean looking beige door which looked unassuming enough. It almost looked more like the entry way to a nice family home, complete with mail slot and sunflower garland hanging from the knocker. The door was however held ajar with the foot of the stair case visible. Walking in I could see a series of documents on the wall including copies of various business licensees and massage certificates. There was even a stack of business cards and some flyers. More and more this was seeming less like something adventurous and sleezy and more like just another afternoon relaxation activity.
I climbed the single flight of stairs and immediately came upon another plain unmarked door. The door was visibly locked from the other side with a deadbolt in place; but there was a call bell to the right of the frame with a small hand written sticky note saying “Ring For Entry. Masks Must be Worn.” Nothing about this seemed unusual. Any business these days that cared even an iota for their customers or their reputation required masks during the pandemic and that was even before the government mandate. This felt like just another thing that I could allow to ease me into a feeling of normalcy.
I rang the bell and allowed thirty seconds that felt like 5 minutes to pass. Ultimately, I had to ring three or four times before I finally heard rustling behind the door. The man behind the door swung it open hard enough to almost hit himself in the face with the edge of the door.
“Are you Mr. Calvin? The polite gentlemen from our text messages with an appointment this afternoon at 1:00pm?”, he asked with an almost insulting amount of formality.
“Uh… Yes, I am. And you can just call me Calvin.”, I replied sheepishly.
“My apologies. I assumed someone with such a business-like manner via text message would prefer to be called by their surname.”, he replied. I honestly thought he at this point he might be faking his British accent. Not that I doubted he was British given his tall thin frame, balding white hair, long face, and hooked nose that seemed to be the stamp of any man born in the UK before 1965. No, it just seemed like he was being intentionally theatrical, probably as some ongoing joke at my expense. Of course, he was just referring to my nervous texts setting up this appointment. I admit that I was probably the wrong side of terse asking flat one-to-two-word questions like “Time available?”, “price?”, and “Options?”. So, sue me, I was nervous.
“Yeah… sorry. You probably hear this all the time. But this is my first time doing anything like this. I wasn’t sure how to ask the questions that I wanted to or even if I was allowed to say certain things.”, I blurted out probably more anxiously than I intended.
“No problem, mate. A lot of you Americans get skittish your first time taking advantage of British hospitality. Nothing to be ashamed of.”, he retorted now sounding suddenly relaxed and jovial.
“Well… thank you. When do we uh… get started.?”, I said feigning relaxation.
“Whenever you would like. All of our masseuses are ready all the time… as long as they aren’t with another client that is. Remind me, you wanted a 60-minute Tantric massage?”, he asked.
“Yes, that was what the website said. It caught my eye and seemed like the right price. £120 I believe is what it said.”
“Oh yes, one of our most popular offerings. Will literally blow your top over that one.”, he said with what had to be the driest sense of humor in the entirety of the United Kingdom. “But have you seen any of our other offerings?”
“Just what was on the website.”, I replied.
“Well, let me test your resolve then. What if I told you that for a mere 50 quid more you can double your experience?”
“What your offering BOGO half off deals today?”, I snorted.
“No, mate. One massage. Two masseuses. Four hands. 20 fingers. Double, well… everything. How does that sound?”, he said with the first degree of salesmanship he had displayed thus far. And, I’ll be honest, what a sale. I had already come this far in the name of feeling adventurous and of course more than a bit horny. It wasn’t like I couldn’t afford a few extra dollars. Money that I would probably waste on fast food and impulse internet shopping. What was the difference at this point?
“I have to say, a good deal is where you find it. Fuck it, let's do it!”, I said with the kind of cheesy bravado that I would have cringed at if I heard someone else talk that way.
“Good choice, my son. You won’t regret it.” He said looking down his hooked nose at me. “Now, go to the other room where you see those lockers. Grab a towel, strip, and go take a quick shower. I promise by the time you are done rinsing your ladies will have the room all ready for you and will come get you.” He gestured to the locker room with the adjacent showers. I nodded, briefly said thank you, and nearly vibrated away in excitement. I was jittery just at the thought of one nude body rub down. Now with this whole unanticipated experience suddenly arising, I could hardly contain myself.
My clothes came off so quickly I probably looked like a teenager in a late-night cartoon about to lose his virginity. I haphazardly shoved them into a locker and grabbed a towel. It was only now that I was totally naked in a new and oddly open location that it dawned on me how empty this place seemed to be despite the man’s references to other clients and multiple masseuses. It was almost believable that he was here entirely alone.
I immediately jumped in the nearest shower and started to rinse. The shower was surprisingly clean given this establishments somewhat seedy location. I take quick showers at the laziest of times, but this probably set the land speed record. As I was getting out of the shower, I caught a glimpse of the first other person I had seen here yet. An older, somewhat rotund man was now back at the lockers. He was stark pale and had the look of someone who probably was on a first name basis with his cardiologist and vascular surgeon. He kept his eyes down the entire time and didn’t even seem to be looking at his own locker much less me. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I turned to see a completely naked woman staring me directly in the eyes. She had big brown eyes that had just a hint of pink in the whites as though she hadn’t slept enough. Her frame was small and pixielike with long black hair up in a centered pony tail coming from top of her head. She was quite pretty in any traditional sense, but you could tell that her makeup was hiding the signs of a life that had been both longer and harder than she wanted anyone to know about. Her large breasts had the slope and angle that only comes from nature. Her waist was narrow compared to her hips. A cursory glance did not reveal a single hair on her porcelain skin anywhere below the eyebrows.
“Are you my 1 o’clock?”, She asked flatly and with unwavering eye contact. Her accent was that sort of eastern European that all Americans just assume is Transylvanian. I got the feeling she was both experienced enough with this to not be even remotely bashful but was also testing me to see if I would take the time to look at her body instead of just maintain eye contact.
“Yes, that’s me. All Showered and ready for my appointment.”
“Good. Follow me, please.”, she said and immediately about faced. Not a trace of jiggle on her frame as she strode away. I wish I could say the same for myself.
I followed her into a hall with three doors on each side. The middle door on my right was wide open. The room appeared totally dark on the inside if not for a series of candles haphazardly lit around the room. There was a clean looking massage table with a series of towels strategically folded upon it in the center of the room. The whole place had that somewhat oppressive aroma of lavender and Teatree oil that accompanies a lot of wellness spas and headshops. I stepped into the room, my towel hung loosely around me.
“Welcome, sir.”, came a voice from the corner suddenly. I whirled to see another young women I hadn’t been able to see in the dark upon walking in. This girl was much younger than the first. She was probably 19 or 20. Her accent was much thicker. Unlike her colleague she was not completely nude. She was wearing a dark black bikini which would have been small even on someone without her clearly augmented bust and hips. I immediately replied hello but she seemed unmoved. It was possible this one didn’t actually speak a word of English. I could see the candle light reflected in her eyes, but it was clear that she was actually attempting to avoid sharing my gaze.
“That is Scarlett. My name is Sophia. We will be your massage today.”, The voice of the first girl came from the door. Her poor grammar highlighting her foreignness despite her minimal accent. “Please remove your towel and lay in bed.”
She didn’t have to tell me twice. I laid down on my back without delay. As I positioned myself, I saw Scarlett reaching behind her back for her bikini strap. Now she made eye contact with me and had a look of some shame. Sophia chimed in with a smile.
“Please, on stomach for now.”, She instructed. I averted my eyes from Scarlett and flipped over, now feeling my own hint of shame. What a dumb mistake, of course they meant on my stomach. We all knew was coming; but I still paid for a 60-minute massage, damnit. How over eager could I be?
I placed my face down into the divot for it at the end of the table. I felt the table surface indent slightly on both sides with the touch of multiple pressure points. There was whispering in Eastern-European sounding language that I honestly couldn’t hear well enough to understand even if I did speak any languages from that part of the world. Then suddenly a whisper in my right ear, “ We start now.”
Fingernails lightly grazed down my back on both sides. The first pass was a light caress with the unmistakable alternating stroke of 2 coordinated hands. Then suddenly, a biting pain in my back. Ten individual needle points all along my right side followed by a downward rake. I winced hard and all sensation suddenly left my back.
“Too much pressure?”, cooed Sophia into my right ear.
“Uh… Yes. Sorry. Less please.”, I snorted back trying to contain my shock at the now diminishing pain. Of all the stupid things, I instinctually tried to maintain some façade of machismo in front of these two beautiful women. An instinct I think most men have when there is even a hint of sexual activity on the horizon.
“We start again now.”, whispered the squeaking accented voice of Scarlett in my left ear for the first time since her initial greeting. I guess I was wrong about her not speaking another word of English. Maybe she was just shy. With this thought, I felt many fingertips lay into my thoracic spine on both sides. I wondered to myself how a girl who touches naked people for a living, and sometimes lets them touch her, could be shy. For the first time it occurred to me that maybe this wasn’t her choice. Maybe I was contributing to some kind of horrific human trafficking event that was forcing this beautiful young girl to do something she hated for some scumbag gangster’s profit. At that thought, I should have gotten right up off the bed and stormed out. But what I really did was push that thought deep into the recesses of my mind with self-righteous justifications like I could never be so dumb as to even accidentally support something like that.
The pace of their caresses quickened. I heard a squishing sound followed by warm liquid on my back. The stroking of hands became more glossy and smooth. I smelled an unusual but not unpleasant combination of teatree, acidity, and something metallic. I felt a slight burn on my skin that disappeared as quickly as it began.
I felt skin and mounds of flesh press into my back from all sides. The unmistakable sensation of breasts against my back. An electric buzz of excitement filled my whole body. More of that metallic liquid was squirted. Despite my excitement, something about the sensation was not to my expectation. Then it hit me. The skin against mine was cold. Where as it should have been warm in that hot room, this was downright cool. Worse yet, it felt dry despite the puddled oil on my back. This was nothing like what I anticipated from the smooth skin on saw on these two women. I tried to push the thought from my mind and concentrate on what mattered here. I was the center of attention in a room with 2 beautiful naked women, I should be more excited.
I took a deep breath and focused. With my face down in the bed I tried to picture the seductive curves of Scarlett. I couldn’t wait to see her when the time came to flip over. Now the feel of oiled flesh against flesh began to feel stickier and rougher. More finger tips pressed into my skin. For a few moments it felt like another round of deep tissue massage; then a sudden stab of pain like nails into my back. I winced and momentarily cried out, “Excuse me, please watch your nails.”
“Sorry, baby. We will be more gentle.”, came the whispering voice of Sophia suddenly much closer to my ear than I thought. With this, I felt the smooth rub or freshly oiled hands and skin on both sides of my back and thighs. Feeling much oilier now and pleasantly warm, sounds of heavy breathing begin to fill the room around me. This sounded like the kind of heavy breathing I would expect from a lover instinctively trying to tell me what we were doing was working. I smiled to myself, suddenly feeling very relaxed and heavy eyed. I felt hard as a rock; my erection digging into the table somewhat pleasantly. Despite this I felt increasingly sleepy, like the sensation of letting yourself go limp in a warm bath.
The grip of sleep began to take over. My heavy eyelids began to fall in synchrony with my long deep breaths. When open, the floor I looked at through the hole in the table began to fuzz in and out. In addition to the long slow strokes against my skin with intermingling hands, fingers, and breasts… a new sensation started. With increasing frequency a new wet, soft, rough rag ran across my back. It ran in long zigzags up and down my spine. My sleepy mind was unable to fully put into words how it felt. Deep in my blissful haze I assumed they must be slowly cleaning the oil from my back for the part of my massage.
As the moist rag got to the top of my back it neared the spot of that second terrible pinch. I felt a deep burning sensation as the rag circled this area. It felt like sunburn in a warm shower. Despite how unpleasant this was, I was too sleepy and comfortable to speak up. The burning stopped as the rag swept back down by back.
Four hands now laid simultaneously to my whole upper back. The hands remained stationary with deep even pressure. The rough rag continued to run up and down the left side of my back. A lower, more appropriately paranoid part of my brain sent up a thousand warning flags that my conscious brain just could not be bothered to examine too closely. Soft words in that other language came from above me on the right. Sophia’s voice was in a higher whisper now and almost sounded forceful or angry. As soon as her voice stopped on my right, an exacerbated sigh came from my left and the moist rag was removed from my skin. The darkness of the room and the haze in my vision weighed heavy. Through the black and mist, I was acutely aware that I was still hard as a diamond. In the heavy silence since Sophia stopped her hushed demands of Scarlett, I was acutely aware of the aching in my balls and shaft. I was awake enough to still be excited about what I knew was about to happen.
“Baby… turn over now.”, came Scarlett’s voice with an excited, almost demanding tone. The time for whispering had gone. I sluggishly pulled myself into full reality. My relaxed muscles felt heavy and hard to get moving, like the first moments getting out of bed in the early morning. The combination of excitement and forcing myself to move gave me a head rush with some spots in my vision. As I flopped onto my back I strained to see the two gorgeous, nude beauties I had only gotten that first glimpse of when I came in. I had a sense of cool relief as my erection was finally freed from the pressure of the flat table. My eyes still had that flashing blackness overlying the already dark aura of the room as my head rush continued. The shape of the girls started to come into focus.
The two women started to come into grayish focus. Just as the edges of their silhouettes started to become crisp in my vision, Scarlett placed a firm grip around the base of my shaft. A short, deep gasp escaped my lips. The sensation was more shock than sensual. It felt more commanding than anything, like she were grabbing the reigns on a horse. More spots came into my vision. Despite the dimples in my sight, I could now make out a black, haphazard gloss across the both Sophia and Scarlett’s skin. It cut through and divided their black outlines. The smears went clear up over their breasts, across their necks, and splashed across their faces and distorted them oddly.
Trying to focus on these striking visages started to help clear my vision. I could see now that it wasn’t just the dark streaks distorting their forms. Even in the dark room I could see that their unsmeared skin was gray and sallow looking. Beneath the inky blots on their faces, their lips looked too plump with deep cracks and crevices. Their eyes looked somehow both dull and unfocused; but their furrowed brows still conveyed a predatory gaze that made my entire body freeze even my shallow breathing. Their hair still shown smooth and black but now seemed to move in long sleek tendrils. It looked more like independent tentacles than strands of hair. Each breast looked horrifically scarred. If either ever had normal tissue where their nipples should lie, then they had long ago been scratched and torn away. Neither Scarlett or Sophia shifted their eyes from my face as I took them all in. Both of their previously porcelain skinned forms were now riddled with course, jagged black body hairs. The bases of each hair erupted from reddish boils that gave them the appearance of wasp stingers at the ready. As I eyes traced down their individual forms I could see that each of their stomachs was protruding with puffing stretch marks and oddly flat navels.
It was now that they started to move closer to the head if the bed. From my vantage they did not appear to walk but slide forward, never breaking their hungry gaze from me. Everything below their hips was obscured by the edge of the bed. But, as they moved closer a foul, putrid aroma of rot and infection approached my nostrils. This smell was mixed with another smell I recognized. I couldn’t say I have lead a violent life, but I knew the metallic coin smell of blood as well as anyone else. Visible up close now I could see that the dark streaks that covered them were beginning to dry in all too familiar flaking streaks I recognized from years of shaving and paper cuts.
It was Scarlett who hissed out her words now, filled with venom and malice; “This what you came for?”. As she said this she gave a cruel wrenching at the base of my somehow still erect penis. Pain shot through the deep portions of my body, but I couldn’t fight back. I could feel her nails dig into the pubic area above my genitals, piercing the skin lightly. I began to scream, but Sophia covered my mouth and gripped my throat.
“Please, save for the end. You may not have the strength to finish if you waste breath like that. Did you know that when human men are erect, their cock receives almost as much blood as their brain every minute?”, she said with a smirk.
I was now beginning to feel faint again despite my the adrenaline dumping into my blood probably as fast as I was losing it. The world was going dark as I felt another hard, sharp tug on my member. Sophia leaned in close to my face and seemed to make a face between a smile and snarl. Then she just licked her lips and tightened the grip on my throat. Then the entire universe became a far away thing. There was nothing except the blackness and the pain it was slowly replacing.
The first thing I remember after that is the feeling like someone had filled my throat with kitty litter. The next was the realization that I was something resembling alive. I wiggled my fingers and then my toes. I opened and closed my jaw and then my eyes. Everything seemed to be working. Above me was the same plain white ceiling I had seen upon first lying down. I tried to sit up and felt shaky. I had the passing thought that it must have all been a terrible dream. I laughed to myself at the thought of being some deranged Dorothy. Then I saw… and felt... all of the wounds. I was covered in blood. I was covered in deep scratches and cuts from below my ribs down to my mid thighs. There was barely 2 inches if clear skin left anywhere, and I mean ANYWHERE. Everything ached and stung. Some wounds appeared still fresh and oozed small amounts of blood.
The only thing that kept me from screaming was sheer confusion. Right around the time I was starting to panic I heard a voice from the corner of the room.
“You shouldn’t struggle around like that. Likely to pass out.”, Sophia’s voice came quietly but clearly. She sat there on a stool in a satin red bathrobe with her legs held together. She had her held tilted all the way back and seemed to just be staring at the ceiling in a bored sort of way.
“What the fuck is going on!”, I yelled. “What did you do to me?!” Tears began to come into my eyes and down my cheeks. I wanted to lunge at her and shake answers from her. But the image of the last memory she’d given me kept me restrained with fear.
“What? You didn’t care for your massage?”, she replied sarcastically. “That’s a shame. We were so happy to serve a regular client.” With that there was a small knock on the door and it opened a crack.
“Is he awake? Oh good! Mr. Calvin, you’re up!”, the British front desk clerk replied. I just stared at him in reply. I couldn’t find a single word to speak from the swirl going on inside my head.
“Please, you should rest. The first time can be quite jarring for a lot of our customers. And I believe that you have a long ride home.”, he added. Finally, I found some more words.
“What…. THE FUCK… did you do to me!?”, I screamed again. Believing that maybe I would get a better response than I did from that bitch in the corner.
“We got you your massage as requested. Wasn’t it good? Two pretty girls baring their skin for you and enjoying your body. Oh, what fun?”
“What are these bitches? What happened to me? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!”, I huffed with barely the strength to stay angry.
“I am just a simple middleman. These fine ladies need clients for their work and young people like yourself want that personal touch.”, he said with a wink. “You see, there was a time when this kind thing had to be done in back alleys and dirty houses where the police may not appreciate our presence. But, as modern tastes and laws have changed, our work has become less dangerous… but we have far more competition. Yes, it seems anyone with an internet connection and a need for some spare cash can make themselves a proper whore these days. And don’t get me started on all of the massage parlors who make use of trafficked people from the east. That just makes me sick to my stomach.”
His manner of speaking of this was so nonchalant that my brain couldn’t make a sensible connection between his words and his tone. His only response to my stuttering and cursing was to stare at me incredulously as though I was the one not making any sense.
“What…What did you do to me?:, I stammered.
“My boy, we made you a loyal customer.”
“FUCK YOU!”, I screamed hoarsely. “You all are going to fucking jail, you sick freak. I am never com..”, I stopped as he spoke up.
“I think you misunderstand. After this little taste I think you will find it is quite hard not to come back every so often… when… The Itch… sets in. These fine ladies are quite good at what they do and our customers almost always find their way back sooner or later. I think the record at this point is about… Oh, 17 days the last time I checked.”, he explained, continuing his matter-of-fact tone.
“15.”,Sophia interjected. She absentmindedly licked the back of her pinky.
“Ah yes. Thank you, darling.”, he replied, smiling.
My heart was starting to race even harder. I felt faint. Somehow I found the strength to slowly stand from the table and start to back away. The two continued to seem downright disinterested. “What makes your think I would ever let any of these sick bitches touch me ever again.”
“Well, you may notice some issues if you don’t.”, he replied
“Issues?”
“Well… first you’ll notice some cravings that most people will find rather detestable. Oh, especially the police if you should act on them. I’d say even the greatest gentleman with the self-control of a saint would find it hard to keep their hands to themselves if they don’t make it here on their own when the mood struck them. And even if you are comfortable acting on those particular sorts of feelings, there will be the other negative effects.”
I just stood there trembling. I couldn’t look him in the eye. I started to shake my head in denial about what was happening.
“To cut this enlightening conversation short,”, Sophia interjected; “You die slowly and painfully if you don’t come back and see me real soon. Just not on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am not here on those days. You can maybe see Scarlett if you want; but I guarantee you won’t feel quite like you got your money’s worth.”
“And why is that, you evil skank?”, I stammered. The force of my heaving breaths was starting to make the pain in my back itch and burn with every movement.
“Because, baby, I got two licks at you. Scarlett only got one. She’s newer here and can be a bit overzealous if she takes too many turns. That’s why we only let her do the group thing… for now. You should be proud though. Neither of us thought you had it in you to give us such a mouthful. Most probably couldn’t have… finished.” With that, Sophia got up to leave. As she stood, she made a pretty obvious point of letting me see under her robe before tying it tight. Her breasts and stomach were still covered in dried blood that I couldn’t see before. “Come back really soon, baby. I’ll love to get my hands back on you anytime.”
Then she was out the door and gone.
“Please, please just tell me what the hell is going on? What is this place? What is she?”, I started to cry. Tears streamed down my cheeks both because I was so deeply, darkly afraid; but also because as soon as Sophia left I started to feel a craving for her to touch me again. It was just a spark, but I already knew it was there.
“I wish I could tell you, sir. I wasn’t lying before. I really am just hired help. I answered an advertisement from the internet, just like you.”
“Is she some kind of a vampire? A Demon? What? Please, if you aren’t one of them; then you can help me. Please help me.” As I said this, I started falling to my knees in front of him. I felt like I was pleading with every cell in my body.
“Be serious, mate. Vampires and demons? This isn’t some kind of fantasy.”

How do you do, fellow vinyl junkies? Jicerswine is back again unloading records that are taking up way too much space in my teeny apartment. Shipping to CONUS is $3.50 +$.50 per LP unless otherwise noted. I should be able to get these in the mail on this coming Tuesday.
GRADES: Condition is marked as record/sleeve. Vast majority of these have been partially or fully play-tested. Graded using an 80s Sansui turntable, Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, 70s Rotel receiver and American Acoustic speakers. I will say: I used a few of these records to test the difference between the Ortofon cartridge and my old stock needle and the 2M often eliminated at least some noise (I highly recommend these cartridges if you’re looking for a fairly inexpensive step up from a stock cartridge).
HOLDS: The first person to message me about an item will have dibs on it for 30 minutes after I reply to their message. After that it's up for grabs. Please use Chat only!
