third dream | video

[remembered]

[ It's very early in the morning, the sun has barely broken the horizon. Amy is leaning back, head against the wall and hand cradling and rubbing around her neck. Her breathing is shallow as she tries to regain her voice to speak. It's still a bit raspy for her normal vociferous Scottish. ]

… I'm starting to think these aren't just dreams.

They're definitely jusht dreamsh. [ Have some rude ginger talking while eating breadsticks on your NV. He seems to be using one of them to point at you - actually he's tapping it on his screen where the weird monster thing is. ] Musht be - [ swallows ] -- must be somethin' else going on.

Just what? [ Sorry, she can't hear him with food in his mouth. Except she can. She's just having a hard time at the moment, you know, with monsters and all. ]

Yeah, got that. It's what the 'something else' that I don't.

Video forever

[ Pretty much oblivious to her unease, illustrating his theory with waves of the breadstick. ] Someone saw that fella about town and it ended up in their dream - and it just so happened to get into your room afterwards? [ maybe check your front door is shut, lady! ]

[remembered]

[ She'd pluck that breadstick out of his hand, if she could. ] Hang on. What does that mean? Are you saying I let it inside? I didn't just forget to close a window.

[vinovidivici]

[ He's got a box of them offscreen anyway. ] Hey, you're puttin' words in my mouth. I ain't sayin' that. [ He so is. ] Somebody you live with coulda done, though?

[remembered]

Funny, because that's what it sounds like. [ rolling her eyes. does she really need to prove herself? ] We're not idiots, you know.

How do you explain the exact same monster from my dreams ending up here? Or... [ she walks over to her dresser and turns the video around to show a painting. ] This. I know other people saw this in their dreams. Not just me.

[vinovidivici]

[ Alright, he'll accept he deserves that rebuke. ] You see it on the news all the time, someone's gotta do it. Don't take it personally.

-- I remember that dream. I was talkin' to Firo about it after. [ He's kind of surprised to see the picture of it. Leaning in. Squints. ] That's pretty good. You paint that yourself, lady?

[remembered]

[ Amy is quick to defend herself. It's a habit no matter where she is, so it seem. ] 'Kay thanks, but that's not what happened.

[ SIGH. ] I didn't paint it. I know who did, but that's not the point. It showed up just like that monster after I dreamed about it. How can something from back home end up here?

[vinovidivici]

[ That was obviously a bad-at-theorising breadstick, so he eats it slowly, digesting that new information. ] You got me.

[remembered]

[ If she had more a voice, she'd be laughing in victory right now. ] Yeah.

So, that's what I'm trying to find out. Any other questions?

[vinovidivici]

Yeah, actually. How many other people're you livin' with?

[remembered]

Two. Well, technically supposed to be just one. Why?

[vinovidivici]

I'd work out some kinda sleep shift between the three of you. Lotta people havin' nightmares, just you havin' them there when you wake up again. Someone oughta be watchin' out for it.

[remembered]

It's a good thing one of my flatmates never sleeps then, yeah? Even though I shouldn't have to have somebody sitting there watching me like a kid. [ plus it's a bit creepy. Amy might just... skip the sleep thing. if she can. ]
