That's quite the outbreak, and here I was enjoying the time without chance of horrid dreams. Suppose those are a few more nights gone...though, what's the cause of these I'm wondering?

You are experiencing the nightmares as well, Satoshi-sama?

[cobalt_tantei]

No, but I'm certainly not risking the chance. I don't need to be accusing you of things twice in a row.

[sociopathwings]

Then I can be assistance to you, Satoshi-sama.

Master...can see the illusions as...not being natural...

Yes. A very lifelike depiction. And I believe there's some restless spirit conjuring them. While we saw things we both recognized, Lunamon did not see the woman and I did not recognize her. She seemed rather distressed, but she vanished before I approached her. These illusions vanished with her.

There is also the fact while the illusions seem real, they have no true substance. Once physical contact is made, it's obvious they are not truly there.

[cobalt_tantei]

Quite the spirit for such a widespread effect.

[sociopathwings]

Not necessarily. She had vanished in an instant. Teleportation of some form. It's not that she's powerful. She can just travel quickly.

[cobalt_tantei]

....
If you're saying these are all illusionary nightmares, then perhaps its not teleportation but rather a sort of projection?

[sociopathwings]

I suppose that would depend on the projection you mean. The woman is different from the nightmares, that is certain.

[cobalt_tantei]

An out of body experience sort of projection, possibly controlled.

[sociopathwings]

Astra projection. That's very possible. Though I doubt it was controlled that much. She looked to be losing her mind.

[cobalt_tantei]

...Hmmm.

[sociopathwings]

Shall I come to you, Satoshi-sama? I am, after all, quite capable of seeing through the illusions and I would hate for you to panic over nothing.

[cobalt_tantei]

I don't panic and you know it.

[sociopathwings]

Of course, Satoshi-sama, but that just says how much I do not wish for you to be fooled.

Not knowing they're illusions, even I might have panicked.
