[HE'S MILLIONS MEDS. He's fixing this bitch...

Lucas will comply, tilting his head and opening his mouth, probably putting his very sharp cuspids on even more prominent display. Thinking about how he's vampire (real) to match his vampire (monster). Imagine if his throat for some reason looked worse from a different angle, but no, it's all expected damage.

There's part of him that's thinking that too, though, in like, a less concrete way. Everything Scien talks about doing is for other people, even questions about his own personal enjoyment still all revolves around other people... When his mouth is free a second time:]


...I hope that it did. It's the very least she deserves. [SWEET KATE.] Was there any part of it that you enjoyed beyond making Kate and Pesto happy?

[ a small answer: ] Your recovery is going well. If the coughing fits start up again, let me know. Look at me, I'm checking your eyes.

[ there shouldn't be any sign of drugging imagine if there was but just to be comprehensive

but the question is odd to him. ]


What more would I need besides that?
faithkept: (in water cool and cleansing)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... [SURPRISING FOR SOME REASON. But he just nods.] I will.

[And then looks at him! IT'D BE SO FUNNY IF HE SOMEHOW GOT HIS HANDS ON DRUGS but no he's fine, his eyes are still clear with no redness or pupil dilation or anything unusual.]

...I suppose you don't really need anything beyond that... [Says local teacher who tries really hard to dedicate his life to others but still has a much more selfish heart than demon lord Scien Brofiise.]

[ i really have to do a body check on your living characters constantly. good for lucas and his pretty blue eyes ]

That type of event isn't to my tastes... It just reminds me of all the useless events in Chedis or that the royals would ask me to show up for. It's just lies and malice swirling around. This was different but...

[ he shakes his head ]

I was never going to get personal enjoyment out of it. If everyone else had a good time, that's enough.

[ monday was funnier curse-wise or else scien would admit he likes watching the clown show ]

How was the party on your side?
faithkept: (wrap its arms around me)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[STOP THIS TIME IT ISN'T MY FAULT i mean it's kind of my fault. His eyes are so lovely! He is so lovely!!! It's so unfair!!!! God blessed him with mad beauty and strength and then said "now I will make every other thing hell".]

What type of event is to your tastes, then?

[A note of curiosity. The way Lucas is basically virche nobility too but he lives in a single room house and spends all of his time in Coene, this binch has never gone to a social function.]

Ah, it was fairly boisterous as far as gatherings on this side tend to go... Strange drinks, a curse or two, those party games that everyone seems to enjoy so much.
egodist: (✧ the shadows they whisper)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-07-18 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like events. I like puzzles. [ he'll also just take lucas's hand now to hold in case he's still cold ] Small gatherings are fine. Solving problems, even small ones, or creating things are enough to catch my attention.

[ scien probably went to like. 2 before he became a reliver back when his family (mostly his sister) was more involved with his life and then he immediately said goodbye and backflipped into his lab forever

but scien can't help his own amusement and fondness at that. a lot of his preferred people are actually deadside now ]


Anyone do anything funny?
faithkept: (in water cool and cleansing)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a little flicker of wry amusement DON'T JUST SAY PUZZLES ONLY. He will let his paw be held though, even if the vibes are still uncertain. Uncertain as he sits here a bit terse but still not leaving Scien's lap. SURE!!!!]

It feels like there are more opportunities for things like that than for big parties or galas...

[This is so funny though all of the Scien preferences in the gy and yet these bitches still had an 80% betrayal rate.]

I do believe dear Rondo almost fainted while having to explain intimate relations to Iwatooshi. [HELP.] Aerith talked Cloud into showing up wearing a corseted dress which looked very good on him but also terribly uncomfortable... Ah, Will brought food and everyone always has such funny reactions to him. Karlach threw Nona at the ceiling.

[BECAUSE HE DARED HER TO.]
egodist: (✧ i'm enjoying the game)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-07-18 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hm... There are. Some of the teenagers showed me a... technological system for playing games. I liked it. It's a good break for the brain, even though I'd rather be focusing on my research when possible.

[ he's really not leaving scien's lap and scien won't point this out because he's just waiting for the curse to wear off. lucas can rest with him in a little warm pile until then

but also

these are so funny. he's laughing and it's just a bit vindictive but it's fine. ALSO THE BETRAYAL RATE IS FINE HE PREFERS IT ]


Ah, now that I would've liked to see. How high did the pink one fly to?

[ why do scien and lucas both just dare giant red non-humans to throw little guys ]
faithkept: (the doomed marigold)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He really isn't leaving... Part of it is because Scien did not say the examination was over yet so he's just vibing and chatting, but despite the lingering tension he sure doesn't seem to mind being here!! It is very much satisfying his eternal urge for physical contact, if nothing else.]

Oh? Taking breaks is good, now and then. It's not terrible to find something that you don't dislike.

[What the hell is this Matsui-ass double negative speech my god. STOP THOUGH DON'T LAUGH MEANLY except Lucas probably would too if he allowed himself to be the full asshole that people only ever see little glimpses of.]

Quite high! She's very light and Karlach is very strong, after all. The room we were in had a ceiling set high enough that there was no risk to her.
egodist: (✧ i'll even indulge in your selfishness)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-07-18 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ not the eternal urge scien's only offering for the duration of the curse. but also it's funny he didn't say that but also he hasn't named anything else for the examination so the implication is that it's over. but lucas isn't the only one who's good at distraction so scien will simply just chill here and hold lucas's cold little paw ]

Mm.... It's rarer for me to find something that I enjoy, but anything new and surprising is fine.

[ he likes lucas so much because he's so full of contradictions and surprises, to be honest ]

Well, even I know an injury during a party can bring down the mood. Maybe she even enjoyed the temporary flight.

Right. It gives you that tiny bit of extra strength to keep moving, despite it all.

We'll see! It won't bother me too much if he stays mad, though... sometimes people just like to have grudges.
faithkept: (lost in the waves)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Grudges aren't a very healthy thing to hold, though. [Wanting to kill your mortal enemy sooo bad is a totally different matter!] We're trying to nudge Karma onto a bit of a healthier path... It's better for you, for him and for any shared environments.

[YOU FINALLY BEING FREE FROM ICON EMBEDS WHEN THERE'S ONLY LIKE 2 WEEKS LEFT HELPPPP]

So it does. [BUT I SET YOU FREE FROM THIS W4 THREAD.] In any case, we did have two return from the fog on our end today - Aventurine and Cloud. Others have swept them along to our new strange pools to care for them, but I ought to go take a look, too. Please be careful tonight.

[And also at all other times.]
faithkept: (a world where roses bloom)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[STOP IT'S THE ETERNAL URGE OF THE CURSE he does not have an eternal personal urge for physical contact outside of just being a vaguely handsy person sometimes.

He continues to be temporarily distracted... Sometimes you're just very cold and sit in god's lap holding his hand waiting for the continuation of an exam that is already over.]


At least there's something to be said about the enjoyment of something rare. [But yeah! Nona was a free bird... Goodbye.......]

I do hope so. At the very least, it was short?

[HELLO? NOT THE ICY FUCKING HANDSSSS. Also hello.]

He has been throwing rocks at me for quite a while. [Karma fucking behavior.] They have, of course, just passed through me.

[Karma is throwing rocks as they speak.]

Ah, yes. We are running out of time, but unfortunately, things must progress a little more slowly than wanted. Patience. Then we can join you.
faithkept: (oh young love young dear)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHY THE HELL IS KARMA LIKE THIS FUCKING HELP. He looks and feels so exhausted.]

Will you be able to fend off any rocks that he might throw your way now that they'll no longer pass through you, presumably...?

[Will he have to just camp out by the hole so he can tackle Karma if he picks up a rock.]

The slow progress isn't the concern, though it's perhaps a bit frustrating... Rather, I hope that our separate places drawing closer and closer together won't raise any early alarm bells among the cultists.

[i aki do though i want to badend]

[Karma is just fucking out here doing Karma things. It's fine. IT'S SO EXPECTED NOW.]

Not the first one more than likely, though I suppose... I can work on being more on my guard. [He is a damn wizard, not a rogue with a high dexterity, or a warrior with massive armor class. (hands you d&d gibberish)] Don't worry about it.

I'll just crush him in a gravity hole.

[HE SAYS THIS SO NONCHALANTLY, but at least the vibes don't seem to have any real malice or venom behind it.]

I know. I meant, we still must proceed with patience despite the planes allegedly converging. We'll do what we can to keep them from seeing any sort of tear, if it happens.
egodist: (✧ there's nothing real)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-07-18 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ lucas your handsy...... holds his hand forever..... i was gonna say me not scien but i guess scien would ]

The country has opened up recently, so there were more new things than expected. More puzzles. [ man loves puzzles ] Games, too. We ended up looking at a few, since my Lucas's thoughts were always on what he could bring back to the children.

[ and scien likes getting caught up in creating things for fun.... ]

Imagine if she had a fear of heights. [ that'd be funny ] But it does sound chaotic over there. I would've liked to watch it.
faithkept: (say if i had a heart)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[STOP IT SHOULDN'T BE EXPECTEEED im still haunted by ori giving us bees and them getting teethed and then ori just fucking killing karma with them my god.]

Please do... I would really hate to hear that you've been injured by a rock he's thrown. [Though maybe he will stop now that War's solid (foolish notion) maybe so. HE'LL WORRY ANYWAY EXCEPT THEN THERE'S THE FUCKING ANTIGRAVITY HOLE HELP!!!! At least there's no malice.]

Please don't crush anyone in a gravity hole, either. [There's only a little bit of concern because of the lack of malice.]

...Alright. Do keep safe... After Will, I can't help but feel concerned, even if you're all well capable of defending yourselves.

[Smashcut to one of them being fucking dead on Friday.]

[HELP SCIEN JUST HOLDS HIS HAND FOREVER. Lucas is truly so spoiled. Cold good dog enjoying being warm while the violence within him sits quiet like a cat waiting for someone to make One Wrong Move but there are no wrong moves because they're truly just sitting and vibing.]

Ah... I was thinking about that when Aerith and I were playing some of the games that we have, here. With a few modifications, I think the children would love many of them.

[Some things stay the same... There's also a faint air of something disapproving at the joke DON'T WISH THAT ON HER. And then a little glimmer of a complicated emotion.]

Well... At the very least, you had things to enjoy on your side, too. ...I do think you'd have fit in with the chaos here, though.

[It's because so much of it came from bullying...]
egodist: (✧ until they leave you)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-07-18 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ they're truly just vibing and sitting! but also. scien is so stupid because that's where his attention and curiosity get caught ]

You have games over there...?

[ HE'S SO STUPID! HE'S SO DUMB! though at the complicated emotion, scien just has a brief feeling of understanding - at least he thinks he knows where it comes from ]

It's alright. I won't impose myself more on you. I'm not so desperate for entertainment.

[ he won't invite himself to gy functions when lucas had plenty of fun without the complex emotions of scien being involved ]
faithkept: (once i hold out the compensation)

[personal profile] faithkept 2024-07-18 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[VIBING AND SITTING!!!!! His posture has probably gotten very slowly but progressively less extremely tense throughout all of this. When you are so cold and your mortal enemy is the only person in the bar who will pick you up and hold you on his lap...]

We do, yes. Chess, puzzles, board games, cards... [THEIR GAMES!!!! They have everything but fucking Uno. NU!!!!!

That said, there's a hilarious little pulse of something violent again, but it's mostly because the complex feeling is not quite so straightforward as just not wanting Scien to be around during parties even though that is certainly at least a part of it. OH TO NOT WANT TO SEE YOUR FATED FOE BUT ALSO THINK YOU WOULD NOT HORRIBLY MIND IF THEY WERE AROUND...]


If you're invited and you're able, you should attend. [It's the compromise he eventually settles on... Though:] Can you even leave this space, though?

I'll survive.

[With what fucking CLERIC, you dumb bitch. He lets out a disgruntled sort of grunt at being chastised.]

We'll be able to handle ourselves.

[WTF DON'T JUST ASSIGN US DEAD.]

[ori can smell the weakness on you........

ALSO HELP. LISTEN HERE. He's going to be worried regardless. He's still worried even as he hears this guy can crush Karma in a gravity hole or whatever the hell.]


I do hope that you won't begrudge me holding onto a bit of concern, even if that's the case...

[He's SOOO FUSSY and Nehan won't let him fuss over him at ALL. The last time he tried he got blasted with a bad memory and turned his paw into a glass shard paw.]
