[The expression he makes is indecisive and uncertain. He looks around him, at the floor, at the mechanical feet, as if anything will give him some kind of definite answer.]
I don't know. I don't even know if that's possible. I'm really just... [He frowns, one hand curling into a fist. He hesitates.] ...I want to help Lucien.
[And Throne and Shoma, but they are about as stubborn as he is about doing it themselves actually. Mostly. Lucien is also stubborn, but in an annoying way.]
More than myself. He'll hate me for it, but... I want to get what's inside him out, or... I don't know. I want him to... have... his body, a body. A body that feels like it belongs to him, not one that's been used by god knows what different kind of things.
[This conversation is now ruining his life elsewhere later, and he wishes then he hadn't said anything NOW.
There's a sigh, as if this very short TERRIBLE list is exactly how he knows it sounds. HE AGREES!]
It's... It's a long story. The Lucien in there isn't... It's... [He gives up.] Who he was became... displaced. And then when he was brought back... His body isn't his anymore. The outside... nor the inside. He's trapped. I... understand how that feels.
I want to get rid of his connection with the Nine.
He blinks at the legs, and then he's shaking his head and waving his hands.] No. No, no. This has nothing to do with any of that. I've had these ideas for years. I'm not-- [Suddenly collected and firm:] I'm not making him automaton body.
This isn't a hollow suit. This is... a golem. It's going to function on its own. I haven't exactly... Figured out a way for Lucien yet. Even if the Somnoven are gone, he is left with a body that doesn't feel right anymore.
[scien still thinks that this golem thing could always malfunction and try to kill them but he's really, really making that sidon's problem as the tallest and strongest of them
but]
I see... Well, that's a scientific problem if I've ever heard one. Have fun.
[said a little dryly... sounds like a pain more than anything else but sure viktor, commit your atrocities in the name of love]
[Honestly, it should, in fact, malfunction and try to kill them because they all would deserve it. Except maybe the girls. The rest of them? Free game.
This is where I say that the future lore is the golem becomes sentient on its own, BUT THANKFULLY NOT EVIL.]
Why were you so interested anyway? Aren't you bored with everything under the sun? Except Suika and Tetris, I guess.

So what? Are you thinking of escaping to a different world? Abandoning everything you've ever known?
[scien doesn't think that's impossible either]
no subject
I don't know. I don't even know if that's possible. I'm really just... [He frowns, one hand curling into a fist. He hesitates.] ...I want to help Lucien.

The Nonagon?
The one that thinks the void is calling him and that his destiny is to become a god?

no subject
[but unlike viktor it just made scien go 'what the fuck' instead oF FALLING IN LOVE? I GUESS?]
So you both want to become new body thieves and a terrible camaraderie bloomed from there?
[IS. IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED?]
no subject
Wh...? No? No? Why-- I don't want to steal bodies! [That may have been a little of what happened.] I want my own body!
I want Lucien to have his own body, too, but... I don't think he's comfortable in it. Not now that it's been... changed so many times by others.
no subject
So you're...
[looking at the. automaton parts...?]
Going to try to make him a body?
[because that isn't a miracle that scien will ever offer
i need to acknowledge i just realized this is the 3rd time i've used this icon in a row and i'm keeping it up for the bit]

So... then I have to figure out the next step.

no subject
I keep my focuses limited because I do not have time to care about all the world and every world's problems. Puzzle games are breaks I take.
But I don't hate learning. Sometimes that's about other people, if I find it interesting enough.
[he just doesn't care to most of the time]
no subject
You never act like you take very much interest in other people.
no subject
[why would he act like that... when he doesn't....]
no subject
Only when they're amusing to you in some way, I imagine.
no subject
[he'll admit to that much. he loves funny little jesters.]
But there are some who earn my attention in other ways.
no subject
I don't exactly like the implications of that...
no subject
hilariously not a jester to scien]
I could explain it.
But it's almost more amusing to me if you're needlessly paranoid.
no subject
This isn't helping to disprove your earlier case, you know.

[He does not sound annoyed.]

[PROTEST MORE]
Then earn it the other way.
[through trial and error]
no subject
Wh...? I didn't say no?!
no subject
It makes no difference to me.
[he will laugh at viktor as he pleases or viktor will earn his attention some other way maybe]
no subject
He glances at the legs, and then back to Scien.]
...
...Open Tetris.
no subject
he will happily do so]
