[HE SAYS, JUST BEAMING. Playfully or not it is still so obviously the truth, god help this wholeass ship they're a bunch of freaks in here.]
Ehe, well, I don't mind sharing that much since Monsieur Scien already told sooo many people. [There is perhaps a little tiny flicker of something vaguely irritated in his emotions. BINCH.] We come from a teeny, tiny little island in the sea that no one can leave or visit, and we're cursed!
[ Oh... They lift a hand, tapping their chin. There's a little blip of some... Familiarity? However also apologetic because rip your circumstances being blasted. ]
I see. We may have some similarities, though not exact. I cannot leave the manor and it is often said to be cursed because rumor says a witch lives there.
[SCIEN IS JUST TOO FORTHCOMING. AND ALSO SO SURE THAT NO ONE CAN REPLICATE HIS TECH.]
Oh! Oh... Can you literally, physically not leave the manor? [Sir what kind of beauty and the beast shit.] I've never heard of a rumor like that, either. How strange.
Oh... [The way that religion exists on their weird island but it's like partially a cult?? It's fine. They hate Relivers so damn bad. There's a little thread of understanding, regardless.]
Sounds a little familiar! That's too bad. [Leaving the crazy religious people behind:] You came here because you got recruited, right?
Ah, between getting stabbed and waking up here, you mean? Not at all, I'm afraid! Though I don't know if that will be changing, given the circumstances.
Oh, not much of one! Dying is never any fun, but it shouldn't be too much trouble.
[He says this because he doesn't know the [redacted] [redacted] this [redacted].]
Thank you, though! I'll be sure to ask them. It hurts every now and then, but I'm entirely sure it's a psychosomatic reaction to the emotional exposure...
Hm... Death is normally something to be feared across many cultures and planets. You sound oddly familiar with the grim reaper.
[ You weirdo San Junipero otome. They think it's quaint though. ]
That's possible. Sometimes a psychological response is strong enough to elicit a physical response or sensation. People often say heartbreak gives them chest pain.
[SAID WITH A PLAYFUL KA-WINK. And yet, there's a brief little muddle of complex feelings that's there and gone in a blip as he continues to scootscoot around and clean.]
I've heard that before, though. It's really something, isn't it? The mind and heart are such powerful things that they can drag the body right along with them, even if it would otherwise be perfectly fine. It's fascinating!
[ They chuckle playfully. It isn't a morbid theme for them. ]
Here I would say humans are emotional creatures, but I've found this can be said about many species across the galaxy. [ Dust dust dust. ] Emotions are a strange, but beautiful thing.
Oh! What a pair! A nation and a manor, cursed by witches and beloved by Death. Someone could write a story about that!
[THEIR CROSSOVER FIC.
That said, Dahut's vibes positively sparkle when they mention the beautiful nature of emotions. Everyone please stop getting Dahut started on emotions.]
Aren't they?! Aren't they just?! What wonderful things, indeed! And to see them in so many different species - it just drives home their loveliness even more, don't you think? Marvelous!
Someone could. It would be the perfect story to teach moral lessons to children.
[ OR TERRIFY THEM INTENSELY. ]
I believe so. It is a show of commonality... It lets beings connect despite there being a physical barrier of flesh between them. Soul to soul, almost.
[Dahut, on the other hand, is very married to that lesson.
He's also laughing very lightly at that, considering it is such a science-y branch of science where he comes from but that's what happens when you're dealing with weird shit like they are.]
I can see why. The heart especially is a pretty complex thing! And people don't usually like it when you try to break it down all neat and clean, which is what scientific method is meant to do... But I think the two can coexist!
[PEOPLE STOP HUMORING DAHUT WHEN HE WANTS TO PHILOSOPHIZE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HUMAN HEART CHALLENGE.
He is so delighted, though... He even sets his lil cleaning rag down.]
Well, you see! It is possible to break down what creates a feeling into things like electric signals and other bodily functions, but even when you quantify it, the complexity of each individual emotion is sooo vast that it can fill up the equivalent of entire oceans!
[A little dead bean... in the wide, wide world...]
Oh, not at all. [He's very science-minded and believes everything (in his world at least) has a scientific backing...] But! To me, that doesn't take the magic out of it, you know?

no subject
[ They say that with a sweet tone. ]
I can't leave the manor. Or so I thought since I'm here.
no subject
Sounds a little familiar! That's too bad. [Leaving the crazy religious people behind:] You came here because you got recruited, right?
no subject
That's correct. I took the opportunity to leave the manor, seeing as waiting there hasn't rewarded me.
no subject
Makes sense, that definitely makes sense! And you like it better here, then, I take it? Since you're still... here.
no subject
Escaping isn't my reason for being here, but time employed by Nut & Bolt has been lively.
no subject
If it's anything like it has been for us, I can imagine so! ...Well, I guess the kidnapping angle is a little different.
no subject
So you don't feel that there are any memories coming back to you, Mister Dahut.
[ Kidnappings? Real? ]
no subject
Ah, between getting stabbed and waking up here, you mean? Not at all, I'm afraid! Though I don't know if that will be changing, given the circumstances.
[Dahut, casually: my fatal stab wound.]
no subject
[ Maybe they should react more to this, but they are mildly concerned. Fatal Stab is NOT good. ]
You should have come stabilized, but if you find your injury bothering you, Io can take a look at it.

Oh, not much of one! Dying is never any fun, but it shouldn't be too much trouble.

It could be! No idea what sort of moral lessons that would impart, though!
[HELP. But he just nods enthusiastically at that, heuheueue.]
Mm, I agree, I agree! The physical body is also an important thing, of course, but what would a connection be without the heart and mind behind it?
no subject
[ Seems simple enough. They're not married to that lesson. ]
I'm surprised, Mister Dahut. You are interested in what many would consider not a branch of science.
[ Except it is. Just not one Amalthea would know about. ]

How so?

no subject
Do you believe there is an explanation for this phenomenon found outside of science?
no subject
Oh, not at all. [He's very science-minded and believes everything (in his world at least) has a scientific backing...] But! To me, that doesn't take the magic out of it, you know?
