[EVEN THOUGH THEIR LUKE IS REPRESSING... Dahut just watches this food massacre occur with some level of admiration before he looks a little troubled.]
I'll let you know, but you've been here longer than any of us, so I'm more worried about you, monsieur... Maybe we should tether you to Monsieur Viktor for a while so you don't wander off again.
[JUST SACRIFICES VIKTOR listen he's the freshest meat at the moment.]
And it's always better to be lost with two brains instead of one, I think. Buddying up might be a good idea in general anyway, considering the surprisingly harmful risks that seem to be lurking around...
[He's referring to the smoke incident even though the reality is that no one here is a bigger danger to the Relivers than the Relivers (smashcut to Monday).]
[HE JUST NODS. GOD. But then looking a little more serious:]
I don't know... The- [A pause since he was about to mention the other ghosts again BUT NOT AFTER VASH'S HEADACHE.] ...Even if someone did know what it was, I'm not sure they'd be able to explain clearly.
[ His memory loss headache... You are so kind, though he looks worried for Dahut instead of himself. It's a little frustrating to know something about yourself is preventing you from helping others. ]
Is anything down here easy to explain with science?
[STOP LOOKING WORRIED FOR HIM. He shakes his head, though.]
Nothing so far, though we don't have the tools to do any actual research just yet... But I'll admit that the afterlife isn't exactly my specialty, and I didn't even consider space travel a possibility until I ended up here, so I'm quite out of my depth.
[ But that makes him a bit nervous. How much time do they even have? Again, more worried about everyone else than himself. ]
If the grinder keeps coughing stuff up, we might be able to build something that can help you guys research. [ or you know you just get your locations to do insane things ] What's your specialty, anyway? I kind of got an idea what you guys are and where you're from when I watched your trial, but hearing it from the source is always better! We might as well get to know each other while we're here.
[IT CAN'T BE MAYBE IT IS A MUST he refuses to get disintegrated in the vast outreaches of deep space.]
It'd be really nice if that could happen... [Insane locations AND scrap happens! Both are terrible. At the question though, there's a little quirk of a smile! He's normally so insanely protective of this knowledge but it'S ALREADY OUT THERE thanks to Scien and has been for some time, so he answers easily.]
[ you guys get your insane labs and Vash is here like... why couldn't we get something nice... like a garden.... a park................ ]
Twenty-three is really young, even where I'm from. [ The rest is very sci-fi to him, but he is also a sci-fi. ] Talk about literal. That's pretty interesting since a lot of emotions are explained through naturally created chemicals... Kinda weird to think about how to emulate through other means.
It's fairly complex, but a fascinating, fun thing to chew on, really! [He is a genius unfortunately and he needs the enrichment of tough problems.] But I'm glad that you agree, monsieur; to me, it's the most important work!
[HE PRIZES THE HUMAN HEART SO HIGHLY!!]
What about you, then? If we're going to get to know each other, you already know about me, but I hardly know a thing about you beyond your name!
I wonder if being out here would help you—well, not here... You know.
[ Not in the afterlife, but just in general other worlds with different technology and methods. oh boy it's time to lie and get caught not too long later when Dahut meets Knives ]
I'm just a regular gunslinger from a dusty planet called No Man's Land. Place is all desert, five moons... Two suns. [ Awful. ] I hit the road a lot and hope bandits don't rob me.
Aha, you don't think being in the Helly Belly is a big help? [Teasing...] I agree, though - being introduced to so many wonderful and new ideas is a great break from stagnation!
[Dahut's really going to hunt Vash down soon and :personstanding: at him about his crazyass brother and his hands full of lies though damn. But for now!! He just marvels over this wild-sounding planet, though this is very funny since he's also just like "oh like Callisto Two???" in his head about the desert planet comparison. DOPPELGANGER THEORY CONFIRMED until it's promptly ruined.]
Wow! That sounds really hot and terrible, and also very dangerous! [DON'T SAY IT WITH A SMILE.] Is that why you decided to come here? To be somewhere totally new?
[ Vash just wants everyone to think he's a harmless little guy... THIS REALLY IS SO FUNNY, AHHH. Your guys' theories that would make so much sense.
There's a pause. ]
That's right! I wanted to see something different, y'know? I've kind of traveled all over there already. Not much more to see on No Man's Land. [ Sand. Long days because two suns... Sand. ] Oh, we went to this one planet... That was all about math.
[THEIR SCIENCE THEORIZING... Vash really is gonna get his whole ass blown out of the water by Knives though damn, someone help a lil guy.]
I can understand wanting to travel somewhere faaar away and brand new, then! [MATH PLANET THOUGH???] Hm. I wouldn't mind visiting a planet like that...
Of course you would... It was interesting! They had long lunches so they can as a community discuss formulas and theorems.
[ Tries to figure out what else to say about it because. Uh. He doesn't care about math that won't save his life. ]
The food shapes were pretty cool! Ratio-based! [ A laugh. ] If we get out of here, maybe we should pay a visit for a day or two. Oh—you'd need to sign up for an intergalactic visa.
[HE'S SUFFERING. He's about to be suffering even more.]
I wouldn't mind the long lunches part! [He's a scientist but more than that he is a foodie (no) (maybe)... But, with a light little laugh:]
If we get out of here, I'd love to visit! As long as it doesn't take too long, anyway... I'm probably already carrying on back home, but it would be nice to upload all of these new memories as soon as possible!

Well! As you may have overheard, we're Relivers, and in Arpéchéle, everyone dies by age twenty-three. Reliver technology is our way to circumvent that, but there are a lot of flaws, like how our memory banks process emotion... And that's where I come in! You could say I specialize in matters of the heart! My work involves expanding the capacity of our memory banks so no one has to worry about losing important feelings ever again.

Mm, twenty-three is young in the rest of my world, too. It's just Arpéchéle that's like this. [Their little cursed French death island... HE'S SCI-FI BUT NOT THIS SCI-FI help. Dahut smiles and his eyes halfmoon.]
