.... I don't think we were. The Claude brat and I aren't, though I was working on fixing him, too.
Lucas and I... [ hmmm ] Perhaps it's simpler to say I'm his master...? Though the leash is pretty loose since I left him behind... I saw him everyday and didn't hate it, so that's something.
[ the way that all of this sounds so kinky because scien refers to lucas like he's a dog half the time
anyway he will try to put his hand over karlach's free one. he misses. no. he tries again. misses. no. tries again. ends up halfway on top of hers and calls it good ]
Don't mention it to him... He's still brainwashed to think I'm the devil.... well, he gets over it....
[ help me the way she can probably piece together this lore because of the cyoa but my god it sounds so unwell ]
[sorry she thinks this is the FUNNIEST THING in the world
when he does this, she watches him miss both times, and then shifts her hand and just takes his, lacing their fingers together easily enough. casually affectionate, as always.]
Trust me, Scien, I'm not going to walk up to him and tell him you want to make him bark like a dog. I've got limits. [teasing!!
she also can figure out this mostly from the cyoa but also she doesn't want to think about it that hard because she's still fucked up over it,,,]
If I give you another drink, are you going to pass out on me?
she looks at him, and there's absolutely affection in her expression, whether or not his blurry eyeballs can see it.]
Wouldn't make me sad. But it's up to him. [she reaches over with her free hand to tuck his hair behind his ear.] I'm not ever going to make a decision about someone else's body and what they do with it.
[since that's the crux of her entire last ten years. a beat.]
I suppose that was my question, I was just curious if you actually did.
Mm.... I don't like when people use science to make someone into a weapon. I don't like... weapons.
[ scien is an asshole and an abrasive person, and sometimes he understands the need for violence and torture. he's not a great guy. but he hates war. he hates armed conflict. he hates especially when technology is used to advance those things
he can't articulate those thoughts right now but it's fine ]
So if he comes to me and wants to be a mundane man... and because you care about him... I can do that. No wish or payment needed.
[ scien probably would've done it anyway if boothill asked, but since karlach likes him so much it's free of charge. just a random miracle given by god because he thought his tiefling likes this cowboy ]

[squints.]
Are you friends? Or is it less nice than that?
no subject
but looks thoughtful at the other ]
.... I don't think we were. The Claude brat and I aren't, though I was working on fixing him, too.
Lucas and I... [ hmmm ] Perhaps it's simpler to say I'm his master...? Though the leash is pretty loose since I left him behind... I saw him everyday and didn't hate it, so that's something.
[ takes another sippy of his drink ]
no subject
[she says, slightly amused by that. she loves that kid, but also.
she gives scien a vaguely scandalized look.]
His master? Really? Okay. [she's like, wow, that's kinky]
no subject
The Claude brat to me is like... when your dog... has its own dog... So you still have to make sure it's alive, but it's not your dog...
[ oh no he's such a lightweight
anyway he's not fazed by the scandalized look because it is kind of kinky there's nothing normal about it ]
He gave his life to me, so what else is it...
no subject
i'm sorry she fucking snortlaughs like a dumbass when he says that, trying to hide it in her drink]
That's... wow, that's something. If he wasn't so holy I'd ask if you'd kissed.
no subject
but scien just laughs..... ]
Is there anything more divine than giving yourself to your god?
no subject
she gives him such a like an exasperated look at this]
Okay. Dial the god shit back, Sir Full of Himself. [she sounds amused, though.] Did you kiss?
no subject
No. I was too busy all those years to notice, though things make more sense now...
So... not yet.
[ HE'S SOOOOOO FULL OF HIMSELF I WANNA GIVE HIM A SWIRLIE SO BAD ]
no subject
Listen to you. Get him. Make sure he doesn't break you in half.
no subject
[ the way that all of this sounds so kinky because scien refers to lucas like he's a dog half the time

no subject
no scien is just looking at her hand wondering what black magic she just did to them because he blinked and missed it ]
I can do one more drink. It's just one.
[ oh god ]
no subject
Oh my gods. I am going to have to carry you to your room.
no subject
his brilliant response to this is just ]
I have legs....
no subject
[IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED... IT WAS SO CLOSE TO HAPPENING ALPHA WEEK IS A POX ON MY HOUSE]
no subject
anyway he's soooooo sure of himself sooooo sure ]
Why wouldn't I... They're attached to my body...
[ he does like
off tempo lil feet kickies just to test ]
no subject
and then slides him another drink because she's terrible.]
Attached to your body means nothing once you stand up. [she knows this from Experience] Where do you even live here, anyway?
no subject
[ thanks king
he will sippy this drink too though, because he doesn't understand his own limits ]
First floor room... Elevator takes too long. Why does Death even want the penthouse.... Is it a power trip?
no subject
Wise words of wisdom, that. You get drunk when you drink. [sagely.] Very funny to hear you talk about power trips.
I'd take a penthouse, honestly. Not that I mind the rooms we get, they're nice. [a beat.] Hey, drunky. Can I ask you something?
no subject
[ but he still nods ]
no subject
[giggles at her own vaguely dirty joke. anyway.]
Did you offer to do the Reliver thing for Boots?
[1/2]
sorry he's processing the first thing she said trying to understand it this takes about a minute ]
no subject
Oh. No.
Not really. That technology is sealed away, but I can do an adjacent thing to give him his body back.
[ looks at her (or slightly to the left of her his vision is blurry) ]
Would that make you happy?
no subject
she looks at him, and there's absolutely affection in her expression, whether or not his blurry eyeballs can see it.]
Wouldn't make me sad. But it's up to him. [she reaches over with her free hand to tuck his hair behind his ear.] I'm not ever going to make a decision about someone else's body and what they do with it.
