[Pretend this is dated later in the day...

A quiet, dry chuckle.]

Hmm. I thought there was an air of finality last night... but in this place, who knows?

Would anyone care to start a betting pool as to whether our disturbed nights will continue, hm?

[athermercy]

I hope it's over.

So. Has this ever happened before?

[phaseshifts]

Not in my memory. And we'll find out, eh?

[athermercy]

I can't contain my excitement.

[phaseshifts]

Just a dream, hmm? It can't do you so much harm.

[athermercy]

Dreams shared by many? They are more dangerous than you think. Just ask Dream about dream vortexes.

[phaseshifts]

No death reports yet, are there?

[athermercy]

No. Thankfully. I'm more worried about the fragile fabric of reality, to be honest. As long that stays intact, I'm going to be relieved.

[phaseshifts]

It's really like that, mm? What makes a shared dream so special?

[athermercy]

Dreams and reality are in constant feedback of each others.

Well, at least where I come from. Here, I think it's safe...

[phaseshifts]

How funny.

[athermercy]

I don't get the joke.

[phaseshifts]

That they should be so different, one place to another...

[athermercy]

You're not used to differences?

[phaseshifts]

Not that. But a dream's a dream anywhere.

[Except if it belongs to Rhode, he supposes.]

[athermercy]

Well, most people aren't aware of that back at home. Normal consciousness make them miss all these extraordinary facts of life.
