Branching from the west and east ends of Paradise are two large land bridges connecting the isle to the mainland. The western bridge is difficult to reach; the easiest way being through a thick brush, up a dangerously steep mountain side to reach the tunnel leading out. Most of the time only those that can fly will take this way. The eastern side is the main route out, as the bridge smoothly transitions right into Paradise, though it comes at a risk.... The eastern land bridge, while easiest to traverse, houses an abandoned human civilization. They call it Mutwile. >✉ *"...well... it USED to be abandoned. Heh heh..."* The town now serves as an outpost for the corrupt and dubious. The place harbors a lot of Kaos that have been left with sour feelings towards humans and their own kind alike, as well as the greedy and criminally driven. Mutwile serves as a sub-branch for obtaining and dealing with the black market. Known for putting on a helpful guise and bribing unsuspecting individuals with an "accepting" community for the bitter or resentful, the promise to cure any ailments, even reverse the effects of automatonism. >✉ *"Hah! ...yeah, and usually only two things happen from there. You're inducted into our ranks or used as fodder! We've got a good track record of having little to no escapees..."* Mutwile looks like a somewhat older town. Very rundown and not quite totally modern, but modern enough. The internal structures have been updated to accommodate the needs of its inhabitants of course.
>✉ **MUTCO MAILER SYSTEM...** *Hey kids. Your superior, Larisa, speaking. We've got some nice shiny serums just waiting to be tested. Anyone up for guinea pig duty?! Hahahaha! I've attached the info for everything. Have fun and don't create any monsters! Lari signing out.* **...END OF MESSAGE 📎 ➜ [OPEN ATTACHMENT](https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1139088/kkc-mutco-serum-traits)"** **Black Market Operations** Outside of Paradise, Kao materials can sell for a hefty price in the underground market. MutCo is known for being an external base of operations to obtain and distribute these materials. As such, they've internally developed serums that assist in easily obtaining mass amounts of parts. A lot of workers end up test subjects for these formulas, and as such, many employees sport these bizarre artificial traits. This can vary from extra body parts to forced automatonism. Employees are known to augment and fit themselves with cybernetics to replace missing body parts as well. MutCo is also known for taking in young Kaos and selling them as pets with these serum mutations to those willing to pay a high price. **Known MutCo Employees:** Larisa [Head of Operations] <~TabithaKattoa>
