[ Honestly....... They deserve it.

They continue to play. ]

Is there a reason for you visit?

[tombtaker]

[ reaching over to ... press a single key. ]

Wanted to have a conversation. Perhaps others would tell me to be subtle or careful, but time moves quickly here. There's no more wisdom in order than in chaos.

Why don't we talk about flowers.

[dropoffs]

[ Without a comment, they end their song eventually and look at him.

Continue. ]

[tombtaker]

[ that's fine, they can play this game if they want to. lucien just waits, tilting his head. ]

Heard you don't trust humans all that much.

[dropoffs]

They're selfish, arrogant, and burn all around them to ashes.

I don't see how this is related to flowers.

[tombtaker]

I don't either yet, but I'm hoping to make a connection soon enough?

[ tapping his nails on the top of the piano. ]

I don't disagree with you there for the record.

[dropoffs]

[ They don't need validation, but good to know even if they will always be prickly. They play a chord. ]

The dead and dying inventor asked me to help you. I remember.

[tombtaker]

Can one truly be called dead when they haunt every corner and circuit of this place?

[ death seems like a peaceful option compared to that. ]

Help me with what, specifically?

[dropoffs]

To be bound is death in another way.

I imagine ridiculous sentiments. He did not go into detail what type of assistance you needed.

[tombtaker]

Ridiculous sentiment is right.

[ he is saying this but it isn't with very much venom behind it. ]

I don't know what you could help with.

[ there's ........ a lot wrong with him. ]

[dropoffs]

How many problems do you have?

[ ??? ]

I know you have voices, if you consider them problems.

[tombtaker]

Rich, coming from you.

[ identity theft guy. ]

I'm Chosen. I've been granted gifts - in exchange for carrying the wills and minds of the Somnovem. But I can't hear them here.

[dropoffs]

I can handle myself. [ can you ] I see.

[ They're taking it seriously but it really sounds so dramatic. It's okay. They're also dramatic. ]

What do you want, then?

[ How can they help? ]

[tombtaker]

I know what some of the others here want, for their payment. Or their goals, their dreams.

I suppose I'm curious about yours.
