Room 218, Wednesday Afternoon

[glacial_witch]

Coming back from 'Dite's after making sure Dinah was all right, Karla succumbed to her exhaustion and laid down on her bed. Just a nap. Just one small, little nap and then she'd feel better. Everyone else was napping, yes? It it wouldn't be like Dinah's whatever-that-was. This could be a teensy little catnap and she'd have no trouble waking up from

Leda's head hurt. She thought she must have hit it when she passed out or something. The bruise forming on her head would seem to support this theory. And don't think that wasn't bothering her. To say nothing of the really weird dream.

She knocked on Karla's door hoping the girl could at least provide some comforting company.

[glacial_witch]

"Leda?" Karla looked up with undisguised gratitude. "Thank the Darkness. I'm so glad to--Mother Night, what did you do to yourself?"

[anarchist_queen]

"I passed out again. Think I hit my head. Are you okay?"

[glacial_witch]

"Passed out? Again?" Karla was up and escorting Leda to the bed. "Sit. Are you okay? How's your vision? Let me see it." She lightly cupped Leda's face with her hands, peering intently at her.

[anarchist_queen]

"Yeah. I think I mentioned it during the reserves meeting, yesterday I passed out in Photography class. I thought maybe it was fumes or something."

She sat down and brushed her hair away from the bump and bruise on her forehead. "My vision's okay. But I've been kind of disoriented each time I wake up."

And on a completely unrelated note, her hair is dyed blue.

"Dinah had something similar happen to her today," Karla said, brushing back Leda's bangs to examine the bruise more closely. "Like the color, by the way. The party?"

[anarchist_queen]

Leda gave a small smile. "Uh huh." Mun will put up a picture at some point. "My first time with non-magical means."

[glacial_witch]

"Pretty," Karla said. She called in a few vials and checked the ribbons. "Here," she said, selecting one. "Drink it down. The dizzy feeling should fade. Though the disorientation may not fade right away. There's a lot going on."

[anarchist_queen]

Leda drank it without question. "That makes me feel a bit better actually. That it's not just me."

[glacial_witch]

"Dinah and Raven both collapsed today at 'Dite's shop," Karla said. "And you heard everyone at Magic Reserves today. I don't know what it is, but it isn't just you."

[anarchist_queen]

"Isn't there some kinda disease that does that to people?"

[glacial_witch]

"I don't honestly know," Karla said. "I wish I did."

[anarchist_queen]

"Narco...something, I think."

[glacial_witch]

"Narcolepsy, yes, that causes the sudden falling asleep. But that's not all this is. It's not the sleep that worries me, it's the dreams," Karla explained. "These dreams are too real to be simply dreams and if that's the future we're all dreaming about..." she shook her head "I don't want the future I'm dreaming of."

"Have you had any vivid dreams? About people you know here in Fandom? Or even people you don't?"

[anarchist_queen]

Leda shuddered. "Oh God I hope that's not the future. I...yeah I have. You know Gwynn? Or Tim Desmond?"

[glacial_witch]

Karla shook her head. "Isn't Tim a teacher?" she asked, uncertain. And she'd never even heard of Gwynn.
