[The Dreamberry turns on just as the tailend of Vanessa's dream has ended. She's been sleeping a while - almost two weeks at this point. The bed is piled high with blankets, as though it had been chilly enough to require so many at the time that she'd gone to sleep, but now in the middle of the day it was just warm enough inside of her borrowed

[When the video of a bedheaded Eliot comes on, and it looks like he's pretty groggy too. He's sitting up in bed in the bedroom Vincent set him in when Vanessa fell asleep. Damnit, he knew he should have stayed with her, but it had been weeks.]

Vanessa, it's the middle of the night! If you need me, call me, but don't wake the whole world up over it!

[stfuelly]

[D'aww, sleepy little brother is so cute. It's a shame that you have to be yelled at now.]

I didn't mean to call anyone! This thing just turned on! Where are you?!

[snapekillsedgar]

[Hey, he's been there recently. He's got no right to judge.]

I'm in the room right next to yours, so calm down!

Do you remember what happened before you fell asleep?

[stfuelly]

You-- [And now there's just the smallest hint of a flush to her face as she snatches the blanket and pulls it up more around her to cover her nightclothes. Little brother is supposed to be at the other end of the house and not see his sister in this state of dress damn it.]

Only that I had gone to sleep, but that was over a week ago. Almost two according to someone else on this...thing. You and I had discussed going to buy some new clothes a few days prior.

[snapekillsedgar]

What? [This isn't the time for properness, sister. Besides, you were the one who called, and knew you were in your nightclothes.]

It's been almost two weeks. You were in a sleep coma. It's another 'wonderful' thing that happens in this place. [Sarcasm to the extreme.]

[stfuelly]

[Details, details.]

Has it ever happened to you?

[snapekillsedgar]

Not for a few months, but yes.

[stfuelly]

[And there's a small bit of sympathy in her gaze all of a sudden as she looks down at her rumpled little brother's form. But just as soon it's completely gone.]

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME ABOUT IT?!

[snapekillsedgar]

{Ahhh, what?!]

YOU THINK I HAD TIME?! It's not like I knew you would have one so early!

[stfuelly]

You should have thought ahead better!

[She needs someone to blame, okok]

[snapekillsedgar]

You were already asleep by the time I even considered it!

[stfuelly]

Is there anything else I should know about that you haven't yet mentioned?

[Oh, there's a threat of a backhand in there somewhere little bro.]

[snapekillsedgar]

Nothing like the sleep comas, but... There's way too much to explain. People keep telling me new things about this place, and you know how long I've been here.

[stfuelly]

Explain it all anyways.

[>:|]

[snapekillsedgar]

I don't even--- [know where to start! Ugh! Specifics, sister!]

What do you want me to explain?

[stfuelly]

[ANGRY HUFF--]

Everything that you possibly can, Elliot! I refuse to make a fool of myself like that again!
