[ just the most judgmental look, because what the fuck he's also tired of this. i was about to give you an emotion but it's a new week oh well just know he's a lil concerned too ]
[au memshare where she stays alive except not really. just the vibes. anyway she's still following him while he's pushing this costco cart of stuff and it means she can frown in its direction.]
Went to Arpéchéle. Kinda pretty, by the way, besides all the...you know. Everything. [murder. besides all the murder.]
Yeah, you and me both. [which had been. interesting.] Anyway it happened, a lot of us were there, and a lot of things happened. It's...very different hearing about it and then experiencing it for yourself anyway. So. I've been having an identity crisis for a few days but at least I am no longer unsure if I'm actually the real Aerith or not. I'll take what progress I can. Especially with how things are going now.
Of course you do. [why wouldn't he.] Then I guess the easiest way is to say it was similar to that. Zack told me the real me had died, that he'd always been alive and was working in the lab, and the tests they were doing were only being done on me because he couldn't risk them on my real body. Even if I wouldn't remember anything.
A combination of our memories, overwritten to fit in with your island to provide us with a brand new life and history, and then those memories overwritten a few times combined with a homunculus's confusing existential crisis.
Three of us. And the other three were part of the Society.
Explode is a good word for it, I think. [she says, already making an executive decision to maybe not tell scien all the details if karlach hasn't already told him.]
...were all of you investigating the serial killings originally? [trying to decide what was true to their lives and what was unique to this situation.]
[she can't even say anything about him oh so casually talking about different timelines.]
On our third night of the investigation, yes. Saying the same things I'm sure you've heard before. The need to remove the soulless monsters and protect the island from the devils in human skin. Demons who take whatever we want. Does that usually happen?
[do members of the society just do a free for all or was that a surprise to go after homunculi?]
Normally that's just the crazy shit they spouted when congregating in front of the church.
But there is, technically, only one serial killer that is used as the feral attack dog by the Society. The drug administered makes it hard for them to think and they can be convinced to attack anyone.
...I was already pretty mad when I first learned this about him. But now, seeing just how bad i is...it's even more frustrating to know how much damage was caused. The members of the Society didn't even care who we were, even if they were people close to us. [...for context:] Yuffie was among them.
[ oh boy more of lucas's terrible past. though this is getting a little further into absolute terror territory so scien doesn't share much more. what can he say that aerith didn't experience? ]
I didn't come to find you to bring up uncomfortable situations. [just as a light note, because while these are related more to lucas and mathis, of course, scien would know and have thoughts on all of this.] But you're right. Desperate people will do desperate things. It's just unfortunate.
It is not me that you have to worry about making uncomfortable. Merely... you're correct in your anger. More than you know, and more than I care to confirm since while I know what you went through, neither of these sets of memories are mine.
[ but in the end, scien eventually learns everything about his wretched little island ]
... and you suffered because I did not fix them in time. So that is my responsibility.

[ he makes a face ]
You can say it's a shithole. I'm assuming you got the worst version of it, because why wouldn't you.
no subject
Did Karlach already tell you?
no subject
Yes, but that's not the version you experienced.
[ so it's okay to call it a shithole! ]
I figured it out when she looked in my eyes and called me a demon.
[ but he's admittedly a fine person to say that to because he's used to it ]

Not the real you?
Explain. That shouldn't be a concern with Reliver technology.

A combination of your memories and the already complex conglomeration of a homunculus's confusing existential crisis.
[ sounds like a bad combo,, ]
no subject
Three of us. And the other three were part of the Society.
no subject
[ he nods, understanding ]
A mix that's bound to explode if exposed to each other.
no subject
...were all of you investigating the serial killings originally? [trying to decide what was true to their lives and what was unique to this situation.]
no subject
[ their lil serial killer hunt... ]
Did those from the Society attack those of you who were homunculi?
no subject

Moreso when their minds are not their own.
