INBOX text / audio / video / action Hi, Lucretia speaking. I'm busy at the moment, but if you'd like to leave a message, I'll get back to you ASAP. art creditcode credit
I had one of those memory dreams. I'm sure you've had a bunch by now. I don't know whether it was yours or Taako's or Lup's because you were all there, but you're the one I felt like I need to talk to about it. Remember when I died back in like cycle 8? The mushroom planet?
(Oh. Lucretia smooths her thumb over the display of her phone.)
Yeah, I remember.
(It had been so awful. Nobody had doubted Magnus might be the first of them all to kick it but they hadn't been prepared for what that would bring. Lucretia always hated bearing cycles where he died early on. They were too quiet.)
(It's not like they weren't aware that he'd come back but... it felt right, at the time. It helped them all stop lingering over his deeply premature departure from that cycle. She face-palms a little at the mention of Cisco; this poor guy.)
Oh, no. He was?
Taako and I were talking about organising him something just to, uh you know, apologise, for dragging him into our collective bullshit.
And Magnus? It's okay. You run into danger, it's what you do. We missed you when you were gone, of course, but I dunno, it wouldn't be right to keep you from doing what you wanted to do, either. But thank you for saying so. It's good to know that you're... uh, more aware of your actions?
Thanks, but… idk, I just feel like I could’ve been doing better all this time. You know, Cisco actually saved my life a few weeks ago? I was about to do some dumb shit and it wasn’t even heroic, I was just gonna die because I was being stupid. He stopped me just in time.
Anyway. Sorry to spam up your inbox with my emo bullshit.
Sign me the fuck up for this Cisco apology party because he deserves it. We’ve put him through some shit, huh?
(Oh, Magnus.) Okay. You know we have no idea what happens to us if we die here, right? You have to be cautious! Forget what I just said, it was bullshit: take care of yourself.
It's cool, Taako does it too.
We truly have. He doesn't even really like me and he still had to deal with my memories of Wonderland. I feel bad about it.
[He's not 100% what the relationship is between Cisco and Lucretia, but surely Taako's friendship with Cisco is going to influence it a certain way. So he's not quite sure how to respond to this.]
Cisco's harmless. I don't think you have to worry about him abusing information. ... But also yeah I get that.
I'm not worried about him sharing information, more uh... embarrassed, I suppose? I'm not sure.
(It's strange to think that Cisco alone knows some of what she gave up in Wonderland, but Magnus and Taako and Lup do not. Lucretia frowns at her phone for a moment.)
Just- bad times, you know. Could be doing better. You?

I didn't know you guys had a funeral.
[Maybe they had kept it from him intentionally.]
I'm always like, running into danger. I never think about how much I'd be missed if I didn't make it out. Cisco really laid into me for that.
oh yeah also cisco was there that was a whole thing lmao

no subject
Uhhh just about as well as you'd expect
Now he knows... personal things about me and I feel weird about it.
