So. [Hi, Riftwatch. How does one do one of these? Is it possible to do it well?] Think it's pretty safe to assume Jude's not on some long-term secret mission, unless a division head wants to speak up.

[There's a moment of silence, though if it's simply out of respect or for trying to figure out what to even say, that's up in the air.]

There's some recipes. So we won't be screwing up his pancakes anymore, among a few other things.

I pity whoever gets that room after, though; the wolf hair's gonna be lingering on everything.

Oh, that's a shame. He was very charming.

Rifters sometimes come back, don't they?
armd: (jaw clench)

But people are still trying to figure out whether the shards react to lyrium or not, instead of why they make us disappear suddenly with no warning.

[personal profile] heirring 2023-10-22 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse me?
armd: (aw come on)

[personal profile] armd 2023-10-22 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
You heard me. Why aren't we doing research into that? I'd volunteer to help.
heirring: ([080])

[personal profile] heirring 2023-10-22 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
We are doing research into that!

The whole point of the study is to better understand how Rifters and lyrium are linked in order to— If you continue to interfere with my research, I will be very angry with you, Miss Anderson.
armd: (arguing)

[personal profile] armd 2023-10-22 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not fucking interfering with anything!
heirring: ([099])

[personal profile] heirring 2023-10-22 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, not interfering! Is that what you call taking every opportunity to criticize and sabotage the study?
armd: (unbelievable)

[personal profile] armd 2023-10-22 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
How is being critical about your study 'sabotaging' it? Am I not allowed to say what I think?
youwonscience: (But a kaleidoscope)

[personal profile] youwonscience 2023-10-23 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
We do. It's rare, but it's not impossible.

I am sorry, though. It's still a loss.

[personal profile] grindset 2023-10-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
A cruelly timed one, considering.
youwonscience: (I feel it all)

[personal profile] youwonscience 2023-10-23 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[A little softer:]

Yeah, for sure.
altusimperius: (but why)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2023-10-24 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You should do the study, Abby.
armd: (expardon me)

[personal profile] armd 2023-10-25 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
What? Why??
altusimperius: (srsly)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2023-10-25 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Because we might learn something from it?

[With no shortage of self-consciousness, he admits:]

I’m doing it.
armd: (i gave you fruit)

[personal profile] armd 2023-10-25 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Or you might lose your mind! Or get corrupted, or lose an arm—
altusimperius: (can we not)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2023-10-25 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I’m not going to cut my arm off.

[A beat.]

No one is going to cut my arm off.
armd: (scowl)

[personal profile] armd 2023-10-25 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh. Better get that down in writing, in case something happens.
grindset: (15464537)

[personal profile] grindset 2023-10-25 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Something could happen at any time, with or without the application of lyrium. The best place for it is under direct study.
altusimperius: (wasnt me)

[personal profile] altusimperius 2023-10-25 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[YEAH]
pathlit: (074)

[personal profile] pathlit 2023-10-25 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah. ]
armd: (hang on)

[personal profile] armd 2023-10-25 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not trying to stop you! I don't want to do it, but I'm not stopping other people from doing it either! I don't know why you think I am!
