No one knows how to cut through flesh and bone cleaner than a surgeon after all.

[faithkept]

[Gazing into the middle distance and nodding. He is so unfortunately familiar with guts.]

...Well. In any case... I suppose it does prepare one for a certain level of chaos and gore.

[recession]

[ Is there a single person who's like, normal in Virche?

Anyway he looks distant. ]

A certain level. I'm definitely a bit of an extreme example.

[faithkept]

[Lucas's sister is the most normal person in Virche who is actually for real normal.]

...It feels cruel to say that it might have done you well here. [BUT IT MIGHT HAVE. He'll hold the bottle out just in case Daan would like another drinky.]

[recession]

[ He tries to imagine an alternate universe where he didn't end up in Prehevil first. Or maybe an AU where he had a different childhood entirely. ]

It's really not a lot of "experience" to matter anyway.

[ You know what, yeah, let's take it. ]

It's just... tiring. The typical person can only take so much data before their brain starts shutting down as a safety measure.

[faithkept]

Are you ever concerned that you may be getting close?

[Daan deals with so much. He is normally so calm, but my god does he deal with so much.]

[recession]

Oh... already been there.

[ If anything it just comes and goes. It's like 90% of the reason why he's sorta okay on some weeks and then just suddenly loses it out of nowhere.

*Tuesday morning incident is an outlier he was cursed. He doesn't normally just start yelling about bald men. ]

[faithkept]

[NOT THE CURSED DAAN YELLING ABOUT BALD MEN.]

Oh. ...Well. [WELL!!!] ...As in, you've already been concerned, or you've already had your brain shut down a bit?

[recession]

The second one.

[ Well it's worse actually but you can only say so much without it being way too much baggage. ]

[faithkept]

[SIR YOUR BAGGAGE. He's radiating gentle concern...]

...Something like that sounds difficult to recover from.

[recession]

It's not like I've exactly had any moment to recover at all.

[ Really. Cannot emphasise enough how recent so much of everything in his life is. ]

[faithkept]

[Daan also needs a therapy arc. Come with him to therapy for the next 3-5 years.]

At the very least, that ought to change soon enough.

[One way or another because they'll either succeed and go home or they'll all die.]

[recession]

[ IDK DUDE HAS IT BEEN WORKING FOR YOU AT ALL? ]

Try not to be drunk when it happens.

[faithkept]

[HE HASN'T STARTED IT YET!!! BUT IT DOES!!!]

I feel my liver might fail before I reach that point, so there's no need for concern.

[recession]

[ I HOPE SO... ]

Hm.

[ Just looks at Lucas like is that really what you want to tell me, a doctor. Even as a joke. ]

[faithkept]

[Sometimes therapy does help...]

...I won't drink much more.

[No joking... No liver explosions...]

[recession]

You can message me if you're feeling ill. I'm gradually learning how to use the mobile phone. While I'm not very good at messaging from it myself, it works for at least receiving.

[ He can hold your beautiful hair back while you're having a sick day Lucas. You may have One (1) binge-drink day as a treat. ]

[faithkept]

[HELL YEAAAH HIS SINGULAR BINGE DRINK DAY.]

Thank you... I'll be certain to. It's really quite convenient though, isn't it? We have something similar, but it doesn't have the option of sending text messages.

[He's such a slow grandpa typer who will only learn the joys of speech to text when everyone mobs the living.]

[recession]

We don't have anything like this at all. If I had to force a comparison, it's like combining a phone with a portable radio... but even smaller than that.

[ Wild. I don't remember who all he's told this to suffers in non-techy old. ]

Helps us, though. Or would, if we made use of them more.

[faithkept]

Oh... Right. [He has mentioned his ye olde tech i thINK AT SOME POINT?? At least Lucas doesn't seem that surprised. Fellow ye olde vibes perhaps except for the fact that his version of the 1800s has cloning.]

But you've been adjusting? There are plenty here who do seem familiar, at least. And with fortune, we'll find a way to use them more in the future.

[They do but at what cost.]

[recession]

[ Looks at hands at the A Ending to his canon. Sweats. It's fine Daan doesn't know fuck-all about tech and that's what matters here. ]

A little bit? Not nearly enough to even begin figuring out how to use that machine they've just about finished building or what it's capable of, but it's not exactly black magic to figure out how to make a call.

[ It's kind of HARD but it's not like, witchcraft. If he can figure out how to open a chest in Genshin Impact he can sort of figure out texting... maybe... ]

[faithkept]

[WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

Also not the genshin impact chest. He just nods, the vibe once again a bit exasperated.]

To be fair, I think that's a bit beyond most of us... Even the people who are used to cell phones, I'd imagine.

[recession]

[ Sometimes you can either go insane, go TURBO insane and join a horrible murder cult, or lose yourself to allow the birth of a Machine God... ]

I saw Aerith tackling some ideas on it, and I trust her.

[ Thank GOD. ]

[faithkept]

[SILENT HILL FLAVORS.........]

Oh? I didn't, but I trust her, as well. She's quite smart, I'm sure she's figured out something decent.

[recession]

[ Being here is a nightmare, ICly. OOCly it's hilarious to me who just changed my plurk theme into being Silent Hill 2 and everything. What the fuck... ]

As far as I know, you can hoist something that can be granted by the rocks on the machine instead...?

I think it's looking like it's going to be the world-traversal, or timeline... fixing.

[ This is all so overly lofty and ambitious for him, he's just a dude. ]
