You can at least give me a rundown on the current state of affairs. How tenuous is the current status quo? Are there still dissenters that are waiting to rise up? What if they go for you next to get the resources to topple Scien's regime?
That's the kind of information I want to hear.
[ this is a university laboratory environment in a first world country ]
[ imagine not being difficult. despite knowing that thorns himself is probably the biggest obstacle to it, he just wants thorns to have a peaceful school life… ]
There's no point to me taking this job if I don't get any perks. [ he nudges thorns back. ] Maybe if I abuse my power enough they'll fire me? That'd be great.
[ except they both know he can't just screw people over like that. sad. ]
It's a good excuse to never show up to family functions again.
But I don't have a lot of love for what I'm doing in general, which is why you'll hardly hear me talk about it. I'd rather hear about what you're up to.

[ don't imitate someone else, elysium... be your own person. ]

[ maybe this is the au where they get character development and not regression ]
no subject
he could mention that elysium has barely answered anything about where he is for the entire time he's been away. ]
Some of them tried to steal something Scien has been working on, but only he fully knows how it works. It caused a big commotion.
no subject
[ that's DRAMATIC AS HELL more like. he sounds so offended on thorns' behalf. ]
no subject
[ he knew thorns was intelligent enough not to stoop to that level... ]
But it's how we realized what was going on. But it's fine now.

[ scien is one person. mob characters are many… ]
no subject
[ there's a pause, and he reaches over to poke him. ]
Either way, you'll have to let me.
[ someone is going to be on the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!!! ]
no subject
thinking… ]
If a company wanted to sponsor your research and offered you a lab, would you take it?
[ he is not thinking at all ]
no subject
thorns stares at him. ]
Your company has nothing to do with what I work on...?
no subject
[ suddenly elysium sounds like the last person you would want in charge of an investment portfolio ]
no subject
there's a pause, and he nudges him. ]
Maybe wait until you're more settled in your job before promising things.
no subject
