[Deacon has the wig on today and sunglasses (finally got a pair thanks to the Ingress) and a black suit that was probably once very sharp but after two hundred years and a nuclear apocalypse is very much the worse for wear.]

Hey, science-y people, anyone have experience with laser guns?

So, totally hypothetically, if someone wanted to completely change their face, could you do it?

[He should try to hang on to the face he's got for another six months at least, but he wants to know what his options are. And wants to know whether or not he has options.]

So you want me to change your face to be a prick. I see.

[Flattery gets many people nowhere with Doc Yewll.] Well we can change your face.

[ersatzeverything]

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. [He nods. The face changing drives most of HQ batty, so he can't argue with the Doc's assessment.]

Awesome. So, what's the procedure like? Any side effects? Limit on the number of times it can be safely done? Probability in percentage points that I accidentally end up looking like a meat fillet?

Listen, Sweetheart. We got people here with bones made out of chalk and a crisis of missing body parts. I'm trying to make their lives better. You're getting backburnered as far as I'm concerned.

In the meantime, there's a damn good looking make-up artist on board you can go to. The name's "J".

You mean my totally elective plastic surgery isn't a priority? But I'm suffering from crow's feet!

[He'll make a joke out of the whole thing. He thinks the Doc's decision is the right one--actual medical problems take precedence over his strange whims and irrational dislike of getting used to his face. After a while, looking in the mirror is going to get a little uncomfortable, but it's hardly a medical emergency.]

Nah, it's cool. I understand. Maybe I'll check back in six months and see if you've got a freer schedule then.
