[Well, he will accept that because it isn't WRONG by any means. They are both fools, yeah.
He pops the box open so he can carefully dump the tiny ass pieces onto the table between the two of them. GOD, THIS IS THE WORST PUZZLE TO EXIST even though the two of them will love it.
He begins to sort them right-side up with no real rush.]
[scien is working on figuring out some of the borders once the pieces are all upright... his gaze is delighted. he loves puzzle. it distracts him so much he's looking like he's having a great time even as he talks about RATS]
Yes.
Their king built a castle beneath the mediocre restaurant we were all trapped in, or something.
[scien just laughs quietly to himself when he finds ones that slot together.... local freak fucking loves puzzles]
There was a party that everyone got horrifically drunk at.
[WHY ARE THE DEAD SO STUPID]
As for anything relevant to the greater mystery of this ship, we made contact with Blake Walker who researched CEM waves before his death. Other communication with living members of the past Eudora tour can be found on HER-MES.
[SCIEN IS SO DAMN WEIRD. The way Viktor has simply accepted this weird ass behavior because it's at least not getting kicked in the head. The lil science man can have some puzzles.]
I assumed as much.
[About the drinking. THEY WERE SO MESSY!!!!!!!]
I read that, yes. I tried to pass on what I could when I got here, but... I did not remember the planet for some reason. I didn't even realize I had forgotten it until earlier. The lotus planet, I mean.
The former Dean of the Academy would most certainly say that is a very fine and dangerous line to walk, I'm sure. And I would have agreed when I was his assistant.
But... having done some things in recent years...
[WELL, YOU KNOW. Playing with magic and technology and all that. Ashing the shit out of your assistant.]
I don't know. Sometimes, you have to push past the Academy ethos to find progress.

[scien will just leave it at that
but he nods!!! YES!! HE ACCEPTS THIS INSANE PUZZLE FROM HELL!!!!!!]
Open it and then we'll put all the pieces right-side up... and then form the border.

So... Last week.
no subject
keeps sorting....]
I have no grand thoughts on it. [SCIEN!!!]
So say what you want to say.
no subject
This is so funny. Talking to Scien is worse than talking to Owner actually. BUT! It's fine. He gets it now. Still just flipping the pieces for them.]
It was a question more than anything. How did it go?
no subject
Impossibly, there were even more rats.
no subject
Pauses with a piece to raise both brows up high, but then carries on.]
More? You mean aside from the, like, 800 crystal rats Lucien shoved into the garbage?
no subject
Yes.
Their king built a castle beneath the mediocre restaurant we were all trapped in, or something.
no subject
He also starts working on finding border pieces. Funny enough, he slides them carefully over to Scien as he picks them out.]
They were mostly just a nuisance right? Or were they trying to... get in your way?

no subject
Then I imagine that's relevant—though we already assumed as much. I have heard something of a Worm Planet as well.
[like.... why]
no subject
Worm Planet...? Is that where we're going next, or something...?
no subject
Shouldn't you know more than me....?
[what is this PLOT]
no subject
You'd be surprised at how much had gone on I had to catch up with, but also how little people actually told me. I think I was just one big surprise.
no subject
[scien really preferred the dead by the end as if the dead aren't also a huge mess]
no subject
They're... Well, so can't say. I think they are organized in the most disorganized way, if that makes sense. They were doing their best.
no subject
[he'll continue to work at the border pieces....]
That doesn't mean it ever amounts to their goals.
no subject
[He would have probably grown even faster, though. Places another edge piece over toward him.]
Not that what I did was disorganized...
[It was a lil. He was tidier than Jayce, though.]
no subject
[that's for darling lucas.....]
I don't care about procedures, mostly, if the results are good enough.
[this comes with caveats, though. some procedures that are too inefficient and cause too much unnecessary sacrifice annoy him]
no subject
But... having done some things in recent years...
[WELL, YOU KNOW. Playing with magic and technology and all that. Ashing the shit out of your assistant.]
I don't know. Sometimes, you have to push past the Academy ethos to find progress.
no subject
[easily,]
But again, it needs to be about results and efficiency. No unnecessary risks or sacrifice, or else it's just more wasteful than it is helpful.
