[faithkept]

Oh, I do have more.

[REACHING INTO HIS BAG AND JUST PULLING UP LIKE VODKA AND MELON LIQUEUR AND SCHNAPPS.]

[recession]

[ What's Lucas so funny for. He looks over the bottles. ]

You're practically ready to start making cocktails on the go.

[faithkept]

[He is but one of many jesters in this circle of hell.]

Unfortunately I have no bartending knowledge, so I'll have to simply supply the alcohol to those with better means of doing something with it.

[recession]

A shitty cocktail is still technically a cocktail, and probably better-tasting than taking it straight.

Anyway, try not to become an alcoholic though.

[faithkept]

True, I suppose. I'll stop by Jamba Juice.

[JUST ADD VODKA TO SMOOTHIES it's the little things in life.]

Ah. ...I think I'll be fine, but thank you...

[recession]

...For a regular drink, or a medium to down more alcohol in?

[ Sir. ]

Just saying, it's an easy slippery slope.

[ He just feels like he should warn him just in case because well. His era. It's wartime. He has seen a lot of alcoholism and drug addiction. ]

[faithkept]

...The former. [No it's the latter but he doesn't want to worry Daan now. BAD NEWS ABOUT ADDICTION.]

My body metabolizes alcohol very quickly, so it isn't too great a problem, but I'll take care.

[WHY IS HIS BODY JUST A FREAKASS BODY.]

[recession]

An effect of all that Reliver stuff?

[ Lucas doesn't have to answer but also what the fuck. ]

[faithkept]

Oh... No, I'm not a Reliver.

[THERE IS SOME strange reflexive violence when he says this in the pit of his soul but it's a there and gone thing, like the shape of a fish in murky water. Gooby.]

But I do have a genetic disorder that's the cause of my strength, and potentially other oddities like this...

[VIRCHE SCIENCE.]

[recession]

...I see.

[ So you're just weird. ]

Rare?

[faithkept]

[LISTEN. Maybe so.]

Very, yes. At least, no one else on our island has it.

[recession]

Hm. That's a bit of an issue, with as small as your population is. Difficult to get a proper diagnosis or treatment for it in that case.

[faithkept]

Yes... Scien may be able to help with that, at least.

[Stupid fucking genius headass. His vibes are annoyed and he takes another drink.]

[recession]

Can he?

[ He doesn't know Scien is also from the same fucking island. You guys. ]

[faithkept]

He's already apparently come up with a cure for our curse in his own timeline...

[Now he knows... THESE GUYS.]

[recession]

...Your curse?

You know him?

[ Hello? ]

[faithkept]

Yes, I do. [The vibe is like UNFORTUNATELY.] He created Reliver technology.

[recession]

So he's kind of a big shot, then.

...

That must be a bit awkward, seeing each other in a place like this.

[ RIP ]

[faithkept]

[watches as scien rises from the grave on main]

It's... difficult. [He considers having another drink but then caps his bottle after a few moments of contemplating.] But it is what it is.

[recession]

[ What the fck did you do to him. ]

Do you... get along?

[faithkept]

[DON'T JUST BLAME IT ON ME.]

...It's complicated. [IT'S FINE.] He's done a great deal for me.

[And yet the vibes are annoyed...]

[recession]

One of those relationships.

[ Okay. He doesn't really need to ask honestly he can get a vibe. ]

Glad to have a knowledgeable... and hopefully reliable face at least?

[faithkept]

[Thanks Daan you're a true friend saving him from having to try to explain.]

He's both of those things, yes.

[recession]

That's good. Prior stances aside, he does appear to be our best bet for rebuilding and escape of this place right now.

[ Sux he died but oh well. It sorta worked out anyway. ]

[faithkept]

[Sometimes NPCs gotta die it's fine...]

I would agree with that, as well. He's got a fine mastery over technology and he's been studying the makeup of this world, apparently... The next machine oughtn't go exploding on us.
