[ LUCAS YOU ARE SO EASILY TRICKED IT'S INSANE. HOW CAN YOU BE BOTH THE GASLIGHTER AND THE GASLIGHTED. HOW IS ONE PERSON SUCH A MESS no wonder scien is obsessed with him ]
Good. I don't have my full lab here, but as long as the medicine works over time, that's enough.
[ oh to be sitting with your fingers interlaced with your mortal enemy who is singlehandedly saving your life and says he just wants to hang out with you. but scien is admittedly curious—and there's a distant note of fondness reserved for nadia. a good girl. ]
[LISTEN STOP HE'S DOING HIS BEST OUT HERE he really is just a wholeass mess of contradictions though wow. A puzzle of a human for Scien to have a good time trying to piece back together as it tries to kill him.]
Mm... I'll let you know if anything changes.
[He does not anticipate that it will because Scien's medicine has worked well so far. Unfortunate. There's a little blip of some sort of reflexive appreciative emotion at the fondness though BECAUSE HE JUST LOVES NADIA SOOO MUCH he appreciates everyone who is fond of her even if it's the guy he also wants to kill. Conscious mind aware that Scien saved her life in another world and cares for her through recovery, ingrained subconscious assassin still wants to destroy.]
Just more of the same that I usually do. Telling her about the good parts of the days, little things she would enjoy or find interesting...
[BEAUTIFUL LIES FOR HER TO ENJOY A NICE ADVENTURE AT THE END OF IT ALL.]
[ truly the most exciting puzzle in the world. but also scien is satisfied with this, and there's a little pulse of appreciation and arrogance both when lucas says he'll share if anything changes without any feelings of worry. good. lucas has been officially shoved toward the process of a long, healthy life
but also his nadia feelings are so funny.... scien's own emotions are amused, and the fondness does grow a bit stronger. for the past few years, the only consistent company he's had are the prousts and claude one. ]
What do you think she'd like most? The shifting locations haven't been bad.
[ a thoughtful little lapse, scien's brain already moving toward the future as it often does. analytical, but this time with a touch of warmth and empathy for his favorite patient ]
I was thinking she'd have fun at the beach. We've taken her to the safer lycoris noirges—when the toxins are gone, they turn red and white. But the sand is too uneven to have taken her to the shoreline... She should get to see the ocean, since she's lived on the island her whole life.
[A NIGHTMARE PUZZLE!!! ALSO DON'T JUST FEEL ARROGANCE ABOUT IT the way that that alone also brings up a little answering call of annoyance, but again, it's not as toothy and sharp as it usually is when he's speaking with both parts of himself.
He's immediately distracted again by this TALK OF NADIA THOUGH OOOOH NADIAAAAAAA HIS PERFECT BABY SISTER!!!!!!! Scien's going to have to deal with being fucking beamed with a flavor blasted goldfish beam of affection. There's also maybe a tiny bit of surprise and curiosity at the mention of white and red lycoris but it's largely BURIED under this BLAST.]
Oh, I do think she would love the ocean. Even the one here is pleasant, really - that entire island is one of the nicest places we've seen. [Despite the murder he committed there... Stop liking the cult island you fucking cultist.] But I think she'd enjoy anything she would find novel. The amusement park, our "gacha" store, Barks and Waffles, Just Cats...
[ helppppp. scien is probably a little taken off-guard by the INTENSITY OF THIS FLAVOR BLAST and it makes him briefly hold onto lucas's hand with their interlaced fingers a little tighter—but it eases after a second, along with a breath of a laugh. scien has never experienced such a positive emotion in his life, but it makes sense if it's lucas about nadia ]
Are these just more places with animals over there... You're going to bury her in puppies and kittens.
[HIS PAW. There's a little blip of disgruntlement BUT AGAIN HE DOESN'T TAKE HIS HAND BACK YET... He is such a baby when he's allowed to be. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COLD, NOT GONNA BE COLD.]
Just Cats is a pet store, I believe, but there are many cats that roam freely through it. Barks and Waffles is a bit more odd...? But harmless, and the waffles are quite good. It's a bookstore that appears to be owned by a very small dog.
[ HE'S SUCH A LIL BABY SO FUNNY scien - not even in a conscious move just an automatic one - again brushes his thumb against the back of lucas's hand as if to physically smooth out that disgruntlement ]
[A LIL BABY!!!!! GOOD COLD DOG. The gesture is met with a little blip of confusion. This is truly just exposure therapy where you pet a feral cat with an object while they're still hissing and biting until they are confused but okay with it.]
We do have quite a few animals. No leeches, though. [A LONG PAUSE.......] But bees... with teeth.
I don't think they do, normally... The bees at the beach were only aggressive if you bothered their homes. I think these ones may simply attack to kill if you enter their space at all...
[The vibes are disgust and revulsion he hates bugs so damn much.]
[SCIEN IS ALSO LUCAS'S MORTAL ENEMY and yet only one of these things gets the feelings of disgust. He does give Scien a bit of a sharp look at that, though.]
They ought to be an enemy to everyone here. Bees shouldn't have teeth and a taste for blood.
Of course. She doesn't need to know that a place exists with bees that eat people...
[That is too Brothers Grimm when he just wants to paint lovely if wildly untrue pictures of daily life in a strange and magical foggy town for her.
Anyway that's enough cute shit you are DEAD i hate it here. There's a little blip of a ! sort of feeling as some of the discomfort that he's dealt with all day from frigidity fades.]
...Ah. I believe it's come to the end of twelve hours.
[He moves to take his hands back first, though he's not snatching them back. Just gently unlacing fingies.]
when lucas's coldness fades, scien will call that acceptable. there's satisfaction in his emotions as his stupid lil dog is no longer cold, and he doesn't fight off lucas untangling their fingers. ]
I'm going to put you on your feet. Don't freak out.
[ just so it's not some uncomfortable affair to get off of scien's lap. once he's sure the explanation is accepted, he'll scoop lucas right up again and then stand so he can easily set him back on his feet, borrowed blankie and all ]
I won't. [Said with a bit of the emotional vibe of :/ as if he hasn't already tackled Scien over because he was startled about being moved suddenly. LISTEN THAT WAS AN EXCEPTION HE WAS GOING THROUGH IT (he's always going through it) maybe so.
BUT UP HE GOES and he's back on his feet, feeling surprisingly alright with everything that just happened. Glancing down at himself.]
...Yes and no, respectively. [A little blip of something unhappy because he hates how fast these fckin things hit and leave. But then he'll reach up to take the blanket away from his shoulders and hand it back, though now he has the chance to look at the duckies pattern and there's a little blip of ? who the hell... WELL. This is fine. He is so calm and warm right now that he can thank easily without any part of him being riled.]
[HAPPY LIL DOG!!! For like one evening and then everything goes all to hell GODDAMN. This is fine.
For now, unaware of the wholeass mess and a half that Thursday and Friday will become for so many people, his emotional vibes are actually pretty stable. There's a little flicker of something faintly embarrassed though DON'T JUST SAY IT LIKE THAT.]
You did have to stay still for quite some time. [Not working on whatever various things Sciens are wont to work on... But, moving right along:] I'll take my leave, then, if we're finished here.
