#thank you for the ask!!🫶🏻 i love talking about lucid

[sulevinen]

wait I'm so intrigued by what you put for that last sentence of your wip post, what's the context there? 👀👀

it was for an angstpril prompt (day 6: abandoned) in which a trooper dies alone, and lucid comes find him.

lucid is a clone oc of mine, a manifestation of the cosmic force, with the ability to communicate with the dead and join the afterlife every time she falls asleep. she can manipulate future events through lucid dreaming and that way has managed to save thousands of her brothers.

sometimes she fails, and comes too late. one of those times is when radar dies, left behind in the woods for three days, until he ultimately dies of bloodloss. lucid arrives to lead him to join the march, to somehow apologize for her failure, and radar can’t accept his death: he feels fine.

and lucid says, from experience, that the end of mortality (and thus gaining immortality through death) is an amazing thing. it can be. but it wasn’t for radar. he died alone and in pain, abandoned, and lucid came too late.
