but scien will be actually found in the gardens instead of any lab! he's found something comfy to wear, and his hair is down and damp again—but at least it's not because he drowned. a blanket is already settled on his shoulders (thanks dahut) and in his sweater pawed hand he has a mug of hot cocoa.....
his gaze fixates on a particular patch of flowers, as if searching for something among them. when he hears footsteps, this time he actually turns his head]
How is everyone?
[since he assumes that sidon would come visit him last or later]
[he also........ doesn't want to be a royal. ever.]
Hm... I suppose it happened in two parts. The first, Ragnvindr and I got caught up with some jailbreak and then ran into Dion when dealing with a serial killer. Afterward, we all had our memories tampered with and were forced to kill one another, and spectate the killing one another.
[ this game loves its pvp cyoas? it's upsetting that his friends are all killing each other and dying miserably on return, but what can you do but be there for when they all come back insane. ]
And that was all—set in your world? [ something that happens in arpechele? ]
It doesn't sound like something you'd be involved in, no.
[ so there's just other wild drama going on for this lil island. so many problems. he hadn't really thought about the potential of these adventures taking them home, unearthing new information and not just memories. ]
[it's complicated. but scien will just shake his head]
I will set up systems and have a hand in rebuilding the country, but I've sworn to save the people from the curse. I cannot be solely responsible for saving them from themselves.
[like he'll help and intervene but he's not going to have a hand in every little thing. he's not that type of micromanager]

week 6, thursday
but scien will be actually found in the gardens instead of any lab! he's found something comfy to wear, and his hair is down and damp again—but at least it's not because he drowned. a blanket is already settled on his shoulders (thanks dahut) and in his sweater pawed hand he has a mug of hot cocoa.....

How is everyone?

no subject
sidon shows up a little later, because scien is one of the ones he's less worried about, it's true. but worried all the same. he sits beside him. ]
Strange.
[ they're fucking weird is how they are. ]
But that's typical after these things.
no subject
... well, keep an eye on them.
It was rather taxing. Even I can acknowledge that much.
no subject
[ he doesn't even trust that scien isn't brain damaged to hell and back right now. ]
What happened?
no subject
[somehow]
But given how Dahut and I ended up, it's already not a great vote of confidence that it's a decent place.
no subject
No, certainly not.
[ neither of them make their island sound great to begin with. ]
It was your home, but you were still attacked...?
no subject
[he rolls his eyes at this]
I've never been so disgusted with my own blood.
[the bias is strong]
no subject
[ maybe scien has the power of a ruler, but it's. it's an image. ]
It really must've been some corruption of your memories. [ IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT ] What happened?
no subject
[he also........ doesn't want to be a royal. ever.]

no subject
...Seems a common trend.

And that was all—set in your world? [ something that happens in arpechele? ]
no subject
[though depending on canonpoint, it varies how much scien would lift a finger to stop it. that should be the royal guard's job? not his? but.]
But I have been made aware of a number of things that escaped my notice, while I was focusing on my research.
[in the end, he is still just one person]
no subject
[ so there's just other wild drama going on for this lil island. so many problems. he hadn't really thought about the potential of these adventures taking them home, unearthing new information and not just memories. ]
Do you intend to do anything about them...?
