[And when Noel gets him, she can't really avoid her second "father", who is up absurdly early (even for him), and is sitting in the living room with a mug of coffee. He's also watching a movie. One of those... "Die Hard" flicks he seems to like so much. The volume's low so as to not disturb anyone in the house, though.

But isn't it strange that he's up like this?]

[Action] bullet_dance April 27 2011, 03:59:44 UTC

[A bit, but she won't let her presence be known as to not disturb him and the movie, though she'll stop to stare at the screen for a few seconds.

...that movie. 8|]

[Thirteen can't help but feel as though there's someone there. That sort of odd feeling where you think someone else is there. So he looks over, quickly noticing her staring at the screen.]

You can sit down and watch it with me, if you'd like, you know.

[There's something of a small smile in his voice. He can only figure Noel was having trouble sleeping too.]

[She feels like she really needed the fresh air, but... a few minutes couldn't hurt. Noel quietly moves over to Dave, taking a seat next to him. She looks over to him inquisitively and speaks, though she makes sure to keep her voice low.]

A-Are you usually up this late, Dave...? [Or is he having the same problem as her?]

[Action] yellowthirteen April 27 2011, 04:34:19 UTC

[He looks back over to her.]

No. Just... had a lot of trouble sleeping tonight. I decided to bite the bullet and... just try to relax. But you're not up this late normally either, are you?

[Action] bullet_dance April 27 2011, 04:38:39 UTC

[She shakes her head.] I'm having the same problem. I was going to go out for a bit, but I saw you here...

[And then, silence falls. Noel's almost certain he may be thinking the same as her: it's those dreams, isn't it?]

[Action] yellowthirteen April 27 2011, 05:09:00 UTC

[He'll be the one to point out the elephant in the room, then.]

...You're having them too, huh?

[Action] bullet_dance April 27 2011, 05:16:01 UTC

[Annnd looking down.]

It seems like everyone's having them lately.

[Thirteen gently rubs his eyes here, then looks forward at the TV, though it's more... he's looking beyond the television. Through the wall, to the world on the other side. His gaze would be piercing if he was in the mind to do so, but... it looks more distant than in the present.]

I think most of us are. I've never paid my dreams any mind before this. I don't normally dream, let alone as powerfully as what I experienced.

[Action] bullet_dance April 27 2011, 05:32:52 UTC

I'm not sure how exactly to describe it, but... it's vivid for you, right? Even for hours after you wake up?

[Action] yellowthirteen April 27 2011, 05:41:06 UTC

...I can remember almost every detail in them. And I can see it play out in my head if I think about it.

[...And that's not something he wants to do.]

[Action] bullet_dance April 27 2011, 05:56:13 UTC

I wonder if you can even really call these dreams. They're dreams, but at the same time... they don't feel like dreams.

[Action] yellowthirteen April 27 2011, 05:58:30 UTC

...They feel a lot more like nightmares.

[Action] bullet_dance April 27 2011, 06:08:53 UTC

[...] I'm sorry, Dave. This really hasn't been a good week, has it?

[Action] yellowthirteen April 27 2011, 06:20:35 UTC

Actually, the week's been fine, aside from the teleporting and now the dreams. But... that's all they are, dreams.

[...Because he really hopes that whole asteroid thing was just a dream.]

[Action] bullet_dance April 27 2011, 06:28:11 UTC

[Clearly.]

...right. You're right. S-Sorry--it might just be me letting this get to me a little too much.
