[YEAH, THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS REVERSE UNOS YOU]
Some better things have appeared lately, perhaps because more of a variety of us have appeared here. Especially if... what we thought was true, that this place relies on data, on memories, or something.
You are quite a harsh critic of laboratories, Your Highness.
[WHY ARE YOU LIKE THISAHFIUDH i really thought you sent the hand holding during memshare and i was going to make fun of you
I guess Viktor is now holding Dion's hand and grits teeth he does not pull away. He thinks Dion is way out of his element, and it's kinda amusing.]
The idea might be to return our consciousness to our bodies left in the stasis pods on the ship. The ones we woke up in initially? Our bodies are apparently there after our deaths.
As a slightly younger man, yes; my late teens and early twenties. [He sort of shrugs sheepishly.] It was... an Academy in Piltover. A lot of very prideful, arrogant people who had sponsors, or money.
But I enjoyed the studies. I enjoyed learning and creating with the tools they had available. And I didn't mind being the Dean's assistant really.

I don't really use this one.
[Which is why he is standing behind Dion who is looking in rather than being inside it.]
It's Dahut's.
no subject
... Ah, that rather makes sense. Though the interior is rather disappointing.

[ gives viktor a little smile before stepping inside ]
So that is the theory then? That this is not a physical reality?
no subject
[Imagine he is rude and walks away. (no) He will follow Dion inside, glancing around even though he has seen this place a bunch of times.]
The evidence seems to... point in that direction.
no subject
[ looks deeply at a beaker ]
Then though we exist in some capacity, we lack bodies to return to?

You... are a fish out of water here, aren't you?
no subject
from where he's deeply considering the beaker, ] I suppose it is rather obvious.
While I was taught mathematics as a child, I learned little of science or its methodologies.
no subject
[Imagine being a rich, white, religious(?) boy. Couldn't be him.]
Perhaps I'm bias, being a lover of science myself.

I just...
[A tight smile.]
I enjoyed building things because I could never play with the other children.
no subject
That you were able to take your hardships and let them fuel your passion is most admirable, Master Viktor.
[ thank you affection week... puts a hand in his shoulder ]
But I regret still that you had to endure them. Even if it is rather late, I hope the people here have made up for a fraction of that loneliness...
no subject
You don't have to worry about it. That is... in the past. But, yes, they have. Though it is almost more trouble than it's worth sometimes, isn't it?
no subject
[ he smiles a little, squeezing viktor's hand ]
I do not find them troublesome at all.
no subject

no subject
I would not say if there are "many", but I have grown close to some, that is certain.
It is inevitable, I feel. Considering our circumstances.
no subject
That is true... I have never really been a fan of crowds... but I did go to the Academy. It is somewhat like that.
Minus, um, the murder.
no subject
What was it like? You attended as a youth?
no subject

no subject
[ o: ]
You studied there based on your own merit?
no subject
I didn't have any of that, no. I was just a poor cripple from below. But I managed to convince the Dean to enroll me by my skills and my mind.
It was worth it to me.
no subject
[ he smiles ]
I am glad that you have brought that spirit here.
no subject
It's... nothing. I don't seem to be the only one either.
no subject
Indeed, it seems most here are hard at work at finding a solution for ourselves. [ blinks ] Though the nature of this place makes little sense to me.
