001. ☌ seven devils.

[ The dream tonight is a bit more of a scientific setting than perhaps you are used to. It's in the hallway of an old battlecruiser, the lights flickering on and off. Once you turn, there is a woman standing with her back to you She's in a light white sandex suit, her oddly formed hair pulled up into a high ponytail

[ Everything is very unfamiliar. And he's cautious and wary of a stranger. Especially in such a place. He's going to be careful, curious as he approaches. He knows it is a dream. ]

What is this place?

[sheistheswarm]

[ Her eyes narrow slightly. Oh, she can sense someone like her a long long ways away. That immediately jumps him further up on the threat level. There's an audible crack as it continues to build. ]

The Hyperion. Somewhere that you do not belong.

[helpmeguideit]

Ease your mind. I don't belong here, but do you remember falling asleep?

[ He's watching her, careful as he approaches. He can sense the tension in the air. Even without his skillset. ]

[sheistheswarm]

[ Kerrigan just smiles. She can sense his telepathic powers with her own. How nice. ]

"Ease your mind." [ She scoffs slightly. ] I don't remember much of anything.

[helpmeguideit]

I can promise you that this is a dream. Nothing more. [ He can tell, but he knows better at this point than to announce another person's skills. ] Yes, no need to worry.

[sheistheswarm]

[ Kerrigan is resisting the urge to roll her eyes. ]

Then, what do you plan on doing in my dreams?

[helpmeguideit]

If it is your dream, how do you know that you didn't bring me here?

[sheistheswarm]

[ She snorts. ]

Please. If I needed someone else like me, I wouldn't have to go to my dreams for it.

[helpmeguideit]

I didn't come here with a plan. I'm only ever here to help. [ Oh don't give him that look. He would much rather be places where he's wanted, after all. ]

[sheistheswarm]

And, what sort of help do you think you can give me?

[helpmeguideit]

You'd have to tell me. [ A smile. ] I've only been here a few minutes.

[sheistheswarm]

[ Oh. She is so very unimpressed. Kerrigan can sense his powers and he's not even using them. She admires it, to a degree, but finds it stupidly naive at the same time. ]

Pathetic.

[helpmeguideit]

Know me a little better, and I'll allow you to pass judgment.

[sheistheswarm]

[ That makes her laugh. ]

Judgements can be made without knowing someone. They're called first impressions.

[helpmeguideit]

Yes, it is just an impression. [ But he's completely not-bothered by this. He won't offer his hand, he's pretty sure she won't take it. He just puts his hands in his pockets. ] Charles Xavier.

[sheistheswarm]

Sarah Kerrigan. [ Her hands curl on a reflex, bracing for a negative reaction. ]
