[Voice] Looking for Patterns

If anyone's up for it, how about some show and tell about the nightmares? ...I'll share mine on the board if anyone's interested in sharing theirs. Maybe there's a connection.

All I've been able to figure out so far is that it's only happening to people who are in the city.

[Voice] halfdarkened November 16 2011, 01:47:42 UTC

Hm. That's a start at least.

The question is why.

[Voice] mynamenotwhoiam November 16 2011, 01:50:33 UTC

Who knows? What reason would someone have for trying to give people nightmares? It doesn't really do anything but torture us.

[Voice] halfdarkened November 16 2011, 13:08:56 UTC

The Organization's involved. Hard to tell.

But it is wearing us down since we're not sleeping well. And what better way to see what makes us tick than to see what still bothers us?

[Voice] mynamenotwhoiam November 16 2011, 15:53:09 UTC

Not being able to sleep would bother anyone. It's not like this is gonna force us to say what our nightmares are about. A lot of people don't dream about stuff that's real anyway.

[Voice] halfdarkened November 17 2011, 04:53:44 UTC

[Pause.]

I never said it'd force us.

The Organization can sample memories, at least here in this castle, whether we're willing or not. It's why I don't worry about talking about this.

[Voice] mynamenotwhoiam November 18 2011, 06:18:30 UTC

If they can sample our memories anyway, why would they be making us have nightmares?

[Voice] halfdarkened November 18 2011, 06:20:49 UTC

To see what's still bothering us.

[Voice] mynamenotwhoiam November 18 2011, 06:21:08 UTC

That still doesn't make any sense.

[Voice] halfdarkened November 18 2011, 06:22:37 UTC

We're in a city in a castle. Best I can do is make guesses.

[Voice] mynamenotwhoiam November 18 2011, 06:23:36 UTC

Why would they go through the effort of giving us all nightmares just to learn something they can already find out?

[Voice] halfdarkened November 18 2011, 06:35:14 UTC

Because some of us have moved on from our pasts or their inner demons. Others haven't.

[Voice] mynamenotwhoiam November 18 2011, 06:59:09 UTC

That doesn't change anything.

[Voice] halfdarkened November 18 2011, 07:25:32 UTC

Why?

[Voice] mynamenotwhoiam November 18 2011, 07:30:10 UTC

If they can find out what are memories are, they could tell whether we're still afraid of something or not. Giving us nightmares doesn't make that any different.

Re: [Voice] halfdarkened November 22 2011, 02:35:24 UTC

Depends on whether they sample all or some of our memories, I guess. I'll leave memory and heart theories to Ansem the Wise.

You got any theories?
