[ to be fair, it was lucien's body first, but he left it lying around in the woods, so molly took it. now, cait did say that was gross in trial, but listen. free body. ]
That's him. Lucien. And nothing good. [ ... ] It's a whole thing that's about bringing a banished city back from the Astral Plane and such to allow these haunted, evil ancient philosopher wizards or whatnot to gain control of the world as gods and such, but it's a little beyond the point, because he's not going to get anything out of it and he knows it. He's going to die in the attempt.
He said as much, right? Then let the world hurt as I hurt. He doesn't think there's a way to turn it around-- Just ask the Nein for help. Stupid bastard.
I don't know, really. But that's why my wish is to give him a chance.
[ but to say they are two entirely distinct different people isn't quite right either. they are two of the same, just ... one is the version without all the baggage and anger. ]
Yeah, can only really speak. Make a finger or two twitch, maybe, when I'm feeling spicy.

anyway part of this is oddly similar to some people he knows, hilariously, but he doesn't say this because he's too busy being like ???? ]
But then ... why bother with the attempt at all? If he knows he'll get nothin' but death coming for him. There's easier ways to die, no?
[ thinks about the molly situation and is like well actually maybe not in retrospect ]

You arnae able to do anything but speak to him in that state, are ye? I think you told me as much, but I didnae realize how limiting it might feel.

[ is that helping. no probably not but cait's reflex is trying to alleviate the mood. ]
It's good of you to wish that for him, though... What would that even look like?
no subject
[ no it helps because molly laughs. ]
Kicking the Somnovem out of the body. Think that's the main problem. Hells, I'd take down the Somnovem as a whole if I could.

[ which is to say, yes, but also, yo wtf ]
Was it cursed then?

[ like, basically. ]
Maybe more of a trap, for whoever was unlucky enough to get caught in it. Or maybe it was fate ... ?
