tombtaker | PC: DR SCIENCE BROFIST

[ LOOKING AT THE CEILING FOR A VERY LONG MOMENT. like he has to summon the deepest of all possible willpower to conjure this: ]

Then I suppose I owe you a thanks for the letter. Has that soothed you?

[LUCIEN!!!!!!! but scien just shakes his head]

Unfortunately, my personality is just like this.

[he didn't to be soothed!!!]

I merely found his cowardice annoying. If I was in your shoes, I would've hit him.

[IMAGINE NOT SAYING IT BACK!!!! THAT'S SO EMBARRASSING]

You have so many opinions on our relationship despite claiming you have no stake in it.

[ to be fair. lucien kept asking seance questions and forcing him to answer those. instead of letting him say it back. it was rude. ]

You're driving farther away from the question about bodies which I asked on purpose now, I believe.

The opinions are my right after sitting through so much of it.

[i support you lucktor..... scien honestly also probably does in that 'love a hilarious drama' kind of way. also he genuinely doesn't dislike either of them at this point]

What is left to be answered about bodies?

[ scien is lucktor's first and most steadfast fan. despite complaining every time talks to him, it's not as lucien dislikes scien either. he just thinks he's annoying, but that's different. ]

Is it that simple? Removing yourself from this puppet and placing yourself in another?

[he is sooooooooo annoying lucien is so right]

Yes. Memory and personality data put into another vessel that used genetic data from the deceased body to replicate a likeness.

Though the current iteration has a few side effects that I need more time to figure out. [he looks at lucien, examining him thoughtfully] It won't work for you as is.

[ he shakes his head-- ]

I really am only curious. We have another solution.

[ his lover has a plan and it is insane but you know. they are both insane. so maybe that tracks. ]

You will return to where you came from? Assuming we survive this upcoming week.

[he nods. he just wanted to be sure after this pair of lovers was insane enough to steal a 15 year old's freaky heart for examination

have fun with the crazy insane plan!!]

I will. I have more to resolve than I thought.

And you?

[ he did it and he'd do it again. if it makes scien feel better, that particular crime was noted in his file, apparently. ]

There is someone I need to retrieve, but I have no reason or desire to return to Exandria myself. [ besides. ] If I did, I imagine the Somnovem would not let me escape their grasp twice.
