[ As three in the afternoon rolled around, dreamberries suddenly crackled to life, greeting their owner with static. Those in use had calls dropped in favour of this new contact. There was no name attached or an image of who it could be from. Everything came up blocked and even the most tech-savvy wouldn't be able to trace the call back to any

[not sure what to make of this really.]

You make it sound as if catching a cold here would be different than usual.

[somghostnpc]

Mountains float in the sky and dreams can be interacted with. Careful how you define such arbitrary ideas as 'the usual'.

[soulsymmetrical]

So you are suggesting that even illnesses in Somarium could have its own unique characteristics compared to what we may be used to back in our own worlds.

Why would it not be in our "best interest" to catch a cold here?

[somghostnpc]

The boundaries of many things can be stretched but there's always a breaking point. The scariest creature of all is mankind.

[soulsymmetrical]

That doesn't answer the question.

[somghostnpc]

An answer is what you make of it. Not all of us deal with absolutes when it comes to them.

[soulsymmetrical]

[...this is going to be rather difficult, but he has to make the most of what he can get.]

Very well. You mentioned boundaries stretching. Could you be referring to the ones between this world and our own worlds?

[somghostnpc]

It could be any boundary. Sanity and reality. Friendship and the breaking of it. Life and death. Put it where you will and it will fit.

[soulsymmetrical]

[...hm. he supposed that would make some sense.]

Why are you telling us this and why now?

[somghostnpc]

Consider it my gift to you, given when the others wouldn't do so.

[soulsymmetrical]

A gift? [he's not sure what to make of that one.] What others? Is that the reason why you are remaining anonymous and hiding yourself?

[somghostnpc]

My reasons are my own and for the time being, perhaps it's safer this way. My identity is not necessary for the immediate future.

[soulsymmetrical]

But perhaps in the distant future.

[somghostnpc]

Just as you have your role to play, I have my own.

[soulsymmetrical]

A role?

[somghostnpc]

We are all players upon the stage, caught in a world of dreams.
