    Summary

    Chanting in his mind Enjin's words from their last staff meeting last week, be nice to customers, we need the money, Zanka keeps his face neutral and says, "Hey there. What can I do for ya?"

    The man beams at him. Without missing a beat and with the boundless enthusiasm of a five year old getting to choose his own toy truck, says, "I wanna get stabbed."

    Zanka, a piercer in Cleaner's studio and certified gay disaster, does his very best to handle a walk-in client: Jabber Wonger, a gorgeous PHD student and unhinged natural talent (at rage baiting).

    **Illustrations included in chapters 3-5

    Summary

    Zanka doesn’t know what Jabber and him are doing, but it seems like the rest of the Cleaners do.

    They’re at least trying their best to figure it out.

    Summary

    "GREAT! Just great! As if this could GET any better!" Zanka bites out, seething. Of course he's stuck here, injured, in a damp, dirty cell, and of course he's stuck here with fucking Jabber of all people.

    Jabber whistles appreciatively, "Man, you're in a mood today. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" and cackles at his own joke. Zanka's gonna strangle him. He's gonna rip out those bars with his bare hands and use them to beat Jabber to death.

    or

    Zanka is taken by some people who want to study givers. Jabber is there too. This somehow makes everything both better and so much worse.
