Effects a feeling of falling towards the end.

Y'all right, doll?

[it takes a minute for her to calm down. At least Mal hadn't stabbed her again. It was easier to separate this from reality that way.]

Yeah. I'm fine. Thanks.

[Dante didn't really believe that, but...]

Ya sure? Don't hurt t'say otherwise, ya know. Dreams can be sonsabitches from hell around here.

[she frowns slightly, shifting to actually look at the Dreamberry where it was propped up, and tugs her sheets further up her body for modesty's sake.]

I've been through worse. This was just a dream.

[He won't look. Promise. Way too young.]

Well, if ya need a beer, or t'talk about it, holler, huh? Don't sit on the shit. Might actually hurt ya one'a these days.

[23, sir. 23.

[But she cracks a smile regardless.] Sure. I'll remember that.

You sound like you're speaking from experience.

[ v i d e o ] _devil_inside August 10 2011, 00:38:21 UTC

[Dante...quit counting after 70. So there.]

Yeah. Might say that.

[Although he doesn't elaborate, and his normally gruff baritone falls quiet.]

[ v i d e o ] buildingreality August 10 2011, 01:39:53 UTC

[...that's different.]

In my experience, the only dreams you can get hurt from are the ones you're actually caught in.

[ v i d e o ] _devil_inside August 10 2011, 02:02:11 UTC

In more ways than one, doll. In more ways than one.

[ v i d e o ] buildingreality August 10 2011, 02:03:03 UTC

...what do you mean?

[ v i d e o ] _devil_inside August 10 2011, 02:04:17 UTC

Just that some dreams, you never forget. No matter how bad you want to.

[ v i d e o ] buildingreality August 10 2011, 02:17:10 UTC

[well, she can believe that. Excuse her while she shifts, moving the Dreamberry enough to offer a great view of the wall. There's a tap, like a chess piece being set up, and then a second one after a moment as it clatters against the table. And then Ariadne slides back into the picture.]

Be glad you're not in my line of work.

[ v i d e o ] _devil_inside August 10 2011, 02:24:54 UTC

Likewise, sweetheart.

[ v i d e o ] buildingreality August 10 2011, 05:46:49 UTC

[she's not entirely sure of what that means, but nods all the time.]

Right.

[ v i d e o ] _devil_inside August 10 2011, 07:02:03 UTC

Eh, don't worry about it, doll. Long story.

[ v i d e o ] buildingreality August 10 2011, 16:00:59 UTC

[she has absolutely no doubt.]

Can I get a short version?
