Oh, I do make those, too. I made a drug that temporary allowed someone to feel as though they could smell colors.
[ again, we are not unpacking that because damn this all suddenly took a turn?? you can't just say these things? okay, sure, fran asked but!!!! ]
Blocking out the memories would be a way that a mind would protect itself from a traumatic situation, especially if you were a child. [ fran is noticing how the absences of a father being mentioned here and there is only so many places that he feels comfortable to explore. ] I'm glad that you and your brother were able to find a place after that had happened.
[ Ludger hums, turning that over in his head. a traumatic situation... yes. it's only natural for children to be traumatized by the murder of a parent in front of them... ]
... Anyways, Julius was older than me, but still pretty young. We... ate a lot of takeout that he'd bring back to the apartment after all his work. I didn't have much to do, so one day I just decided I'd make him something instead.
[ STOP MAKING THE META OMINOUS. but anyway, fran is polite enough to know that they can move the conversation away from that and into something more recent. and pleasant. ]
And then the rest has been history.
I knew someone who is a great cook—most people wouldn't have expected him to be a great cook based on his looks or how behaved. It was surprising to see what he could come up with even when we didn't have a lot available to us.
Are you going to compete with someone who isn't even here?
[ come on ludger...but give fran a moment to think about it. hmm. ]
He was taller than I am and extremely excitable. He had a way with words that either got himself into a lot of trouble or the people that he was with. That said, he was probably one of the best engineers that I've known.
I don't know the name of the dish he made but it was very good—it had a lot of vegetables in it.
He was a bit of "whatever inspired him" kind of guy. Though, I believe he made more soups for us than pasta dishes since they're easier to share with a lot of people.

wow like i'm not in ur dms rn
... I think you just made drugs, Fran.
[ that's what it sounds like to him. ]
That I don't remember? There was an incident when I was little, so pretty much everything before I was five is gone.
[ ... ]
I... saw my mother get killed, apparently. Julius is the one who took me to Marvin - he adopted both of us later.

Well, now you have to tell me what he looks like and how he behaves. What's he like? And what's the best thing he made for you?
