[Dictated over the journal, enjoy a guy who doesn't dream, dude]

Quite full of our title and/or clothing, aren't we?

[vivatsomnum]

On the contrary, I have lost my emerald.

[onlyanapple]

An emerald, hmm? Well, people tend to lose things here. It's the price for room and board.

[vivatsomnum]

I do not believe I know you. Have we met...?

[onlyanapple]

Name's Crowley. It's a pleasure.

[vivatsomnum]

I am Dream.

I believe I am on friendly terms with another of your kin, Lucifer.

[onlyanapple]

...I thought I recognised something about you. You've been here before, not that you'd remember. Your sister, Delerium is here.

Ah, my littlest sister. Thank you for keeping her company. [ He glosses over that first part, for now. ]

He does not command you, does he?

[onlyanapple]

Now that is something I've been working on.

If wishes were horses...

[vivatsomnum]

He did rebel against his own master.

[onlyanapple]

How nice of you, I'm sure she'll appreciate that.

Well, yes, but then he got his arse handed to him and dragged the rest of us down with him.

[vivatsomnum]

I hope she will.

[ He considers that, for a moment. ]

He is still searching.

[onlyanapple]

Searching for what?

[vivatsomnum]

What he really wants.
