[absrasive]

Yeah, there's that.

Well, look. My wish is I wanted to bring Molly back and kick Lucien out. Molly gets annoyed when I say that, so I'm open to interpretation.

[headmt]

I just don't want you to kill him, that's all.

[absrasive]

[ gestures at what caleb said. ]

You think he's not gonna lose his mind and try to destroy the world again, or what. Because we don't have to kill him, but I'm not going to just let him free if he's gonna get into some shit again.

[headmt]

[ well - quite seriously, becuase he has thought about this a lot! ]

Look, I don't think he's with the Somnovem now of his own free will. He never was. And I can't promise he won't do anything terrible ever again for the rest of us life. I can't promise that about any of us though. Think he deserves the chance to try for himself, that's all.

[absrasive]

[ see - the thing is, regardless, she has a really hard time saying no to molly on this. because he is right. he deserves a chance, and like, he is a part of molly! and it's molly's body, and she can't tell him what to do with it, really. ]

... Okay, so - then, if we get rid of the Somnovem, does that help? Make it worse? Do you want your own body separate from him?

[headmt]

Yes, getting rid of the Somnovem is the most important part.

[ even if they can't do anything else, that much has to happen. ]

... Don't know the best way to deal with it apart from that.

[absrasive]

We're agreed on that first part.

But okay, fuck what's best. What's your ideal scenario here.

[katzepaw]

If we have two people with wishes, it solves some problems. Mollymauk or I can deal with the evil city and Lucien, you can wish for Mollymauk to have the body.

I am fine if Lucien lives and does not cause trouble for anyone.

[headmt]

Anyone at all ever ... ?

[ that just isn't going to happen ... sorry ....... ]

[katzepaw]

Well, no. No one I like. I definitely do intend to cause trouble for some people, myself, so I cannot say no one.

[headmt]

I guess I hadn't really considered if we'd be walking around independently in two different bodies ... ?

[ do they like. have enough a soul to split between them. ]

[katzepaw]

You are making this so complicated. You want him to be alive but also trapped in your mind...?

Can you rank this on a scale. Where does him being alive go on the scale.

[headmt]

[ wait pause ]

What's the scale? One to ten?

[absrasive]

I'm getting my wish regardless. This was my last season, I'm out after this.

Except for how if you guys stay, I'm not. I'll volunteer a few more seasons, whatever.

[katzepaw]

I don't think we are planning on it, except as a worst case scenario if no one has anything and what you have is not enough.

[absrasive]

Yeah. Okay. [ ... ] I just - I won't leave you guys. I want you to know that.

[katzepaw]

...Okay. So we all go together or we don't, yeah?

[absrasive]

Yeah. Exactly. What's another fifteen seasons.

[ she'll go back down to the bottom of the workwish ladder if she's gotta. ]

[fjorge]

[ Oh Boy. vibes ]

[absrasive]

[ big sigh. ]

I don't want to kill anybody. But I don't want to let this shit get out of hand. [ ... ] What do you want, Fjord?

[ genuinely. ]

[fjorge]

Uh. I'm real out of the loop, I'm afraid.

Do you see Lucien as someone important to you now, Molly? Before, you didn't care for your old life or who you used to be.

[ His thoughts are like... ... ...like a brother...? but unsure if that's remotely right. ]

[headmt]

[ like a brother isn't wrong. ]

... Yeah, I've changed on that stance. [ Or, I had to. ] We're the same person. Same body. Same brain. I just got to be someone who didn't have all the things in his past that added up to whatever he turned out to be. The only difference between us is time. And I think he just needs to ask for help, and if he won't, I'll make it happen.

[fjorge]

Right. Got it.

I think we all start somewhere -- we all did. So I respect that. You'd know him better than any of us do.

[ ...Presumably. ]

[absrasive]

No, not that - well, yeah partly that, Molly can answer, but also, I'm asking you about your wish.

[fjorge]

Oh, that? Fuck it. This was supposed to be my backup plan to begin with, if the thing at Soltryce didn't work out and if I didn't have any more leads.

I'm still around months into the future with you guys, right? So no matter what, whether I've gotten what I'm looking for yet or not, I'm doing something with you.

That's what I care about the most. So screw my wish, unless there's someone else I can help use it on instead.
