[Don't mind him sitting there, Ariadne, cup of coffee in hand. Somewhere nearby, there was also probably a muffin. It was strange, really, viewing the whole thing over the network and not being there. It was... different. But quite the experience, he did have to say. So that was what it felt like to be an outside observer.]

Interesting. It seems you dream of Mal as well now.

[you can say it now, Arthur: she's totally going crazy. Ariadne lets out another soft sigh before pushing herself up, and accepting the cup of coffee. How he knew when she was going to wake up was beyond her.]

Did Cobb ever show you his dreams?

forever and ever. defyantigravity August 9 2011, 22:46:44 UTC

[To be fair, it was a bit of a gamble. If she kept sleeping, then it simply meant he had more coffee for himself.

But yes. She is rather crazy.]

Now now. That would be telling secrets, wouldn't it? [In other words, his lips were still sealed about whether or not that was a yes or no.]

buildingreality August 9 2011, 22:49:39 UTC

[get out, Arthur.

[She remains silent then, sipping the coffee. There's no way she's getting back to sleep anyway. Not after that.] I'm not going to bring her in.

defyantigravity August 9 2011, 23:27:10 UTC

[Siiigh. Fine. I'm leaving.]

I trust that you won't. [He's willing to give her the benefit of the doubt so she better not fail him. Or else it's one more thing they'd have to worry about.]

Do you want to talk about it?

buildingreality August 9 2011, 23:31:20 UTC

One dream does not Cobb make, Arthur. I'm fine. [she cradles the cup in her hands, glancing down to it thoughtfully.]

There's nothing to talk about.

defyantigravity August 10 2011, 01:19:08 UTC

I've only seen one. [It's nitpicky, but on purpose.]

Are you sure? [Where were you? Is it based on reality?]

buildingreality August 10 2011, 01:42:22 UTC

And the rest are perfectly normal.

[it's based on limbo, neither was it a dream based on her own creation, no matter how much arguing goes on here. When she glances up to him again, her blank stare allows no room for argument.] I'm sure.

defyantigravity August 10 2011, 06:34:55 UTC

Of course they are.

[Sigh. One day he'll get her to tell him. He'll catch her with her guard down and she'll let something slip.] All right.

I've been reading up on things and it seems there's some ruins out in the desert. I was thinking that we could go take a look sometime.

buildingreality August 10 2011, 06:37:44 UTC

[it'll take a lot more than simple persistence to get her to let her guard down about this.

[Ariadne eyes him for a moment, then nods, turning her gaze back to the coffee.] Does anyone know what's out there? It's probably worth a look anyway - they can't have found everything. But...just so we know what to expect.

defyantigravity August 10 2011, 06:43:59 UTC

[...good thing he has patience, too.

] I'll ask around a bit about them, but from what I've read only more science-types have really been out that way to look. So interpretation is open to many, and it can't hurt. [And seeing it from a new perspective might be lend something. If not, hey, it was a trip to the desert to see ruins. They can call it sightseeing.]

buildingreality August 10 2011, 16:00:02 UTC

You're right. Especially if no one's been able to figure out the obvious differentiations of this place until now. We'll probably be able to see something no one else has. [if he calls it a date, she'll just look at him.]

defyantigravity August 12 2011, 23:17:27 UTC

Not everyone thinks the same, either. Besides. Sometimes rehashing the old can be beneficial. [What if he applies definition number six under the first entry of the word 'date' in the American Heritage dictionary? Will it be acceptable then?]

buildingreality August 13 2011, 05:45:10 UTC

[...what's definition number six under the first entry?]

So we really can't go wrong with checking them out. Too bad there's nothing within the city as fascinating or potentially informative.

defyantigravity August 13 2011, 05:57:27 UTC

[Oh. It's a pretty straight-forward one, actually. An appointment: a luncheon date with a client; a date with destiny.]

There's the floating mountain. That's accessible, correct?

buildingreality August 14 2011, 01:54:43 UTC

[a bit cheesy, but she'll perhaps go with it.]

In some regard, I think. We'll have to look into it a bit more, but I haven't heard anyone say it isn't. Not that it would stop you anyway. [she glances over to him curiously, holding silent for a moment before sipping her coffee.]
