This is where dreams - dreams, do you understand - come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.

There seems to be some general plan to move towards the Abbey, so we do. And it seems others have had the same idea. Glad to see Hermia and Valmont and Alice and... well. Isn't that interesting? Smile and wave to both girls as Nanshe and Hermia talk magic with Syl and Damien. Spare a glance up the street to the tea shoppe, worried. I hope Wanda's okay, she has Rose and Ares there, but there's something else in the back of my head... something is out of sorts there too...
Find Tez's coin in my pocket and twirl it about my fingers, waiting to move, to help, to do something.

"Welcome to another valuable Excolo experience," I say drily.

Snort at that, and I find I have to stifle myself from laughing out loud. Given how grave the situation is; laughter may not be the best medicine in this case.
"Sorry, shouldn't laugh... but at this point, I think that's all I have left in these situations. Glad to see so many people are okay..." I survey the little group, and I find I am relieved by it. "Besides gaining some new friends, everything alright with you and Hermia? Nothing too out of the ordinary?"

"Might as well," I say mild. Consider saying something over even if he dies, he's a bloody poor record of having it stick, and think that might be a touch heavy. That and I can't place if Valmont knows how often he's in and out the grave. "And you, of late?"

"My mother showed up, which was something I could have done without... And Hermia and I had a little while of floating a few inches above ground. But since then it has been alright. It seemed to take us hours to get just from the Whitechapel to here, though," I say, looking up at the sky. "Has there been much call for your skills, Lucien? I suppose there've been a lot of injuries," or worse, "with all this going on."

This isn't right. But what has been? Kent and I sat down and discussed it, and the best idea we had was to go to the Abbey. But once we stepped outside and the wyvern flew down Main, I sent Kent and Rose right back inside. Although he argued with me, in the end we decided it would be better if he stayed behind with Rose while I went on ahead. Strapped on my sword, and threw on my coat with as many knives as I could get into it... then grabbed the brooch and pinned it to my coat as a passing thought and headed out towards the Abbey. I touch Rose's mind with mine as I walked, reminding her to call for me if anything went wrong, or Kent really needed me ( ... )

The others are still formulating plans and whose doing what, when I hear a very familiar voice. I have to admit I am glad she seems none the worse for wear, and looking like she's ready for a fight.
"The bastard in question is the one that kept us dreaming for three days. He's loose. Welcome to Excolo." I return her thin smile. "And why is Rose going to be..." A flash of purple catches my eye, and I see a purple rabbit race across a lawn. "Ah. I assume that's her dream?"
Wanda just nods and mutters something about one of them and looks back towards the Dormouse. "Everything else okay?"
I get the feeling that it isn't.
