Miss? ...are... are you all right?

[wellspromise]

Ah.... yeah. I'm okay.

[phantasmal_girl]

Are .... are you sure? [ Pause. ]

That Sephiroth person... who is he?

[wellspromise]

Not entirely... but I'll be fine in a bit.

An enemy. Someone my friends and I fought against to save the world.

[phantasmal_girl]

An enemy...

[ .. yeah that sounds familiar. Only Terra's not reached the 'fight him to save the world' stage yet. Just the 'ohgod keep him away' stage. ]

... he hurt a lot of people didn't he. [ Understatement if the dream was any indication, but Terra doesn't want to ask 'How did you survive?'. Not cool. She thinks. ]

Is he here too?

[wellspromise]

Mm, he hurt countless people. [And killed too.]

Thankfully, I haven't seen him.

[phantasmal_girl]

I'm glad. Although...

[ Here she pauses, uneasy. After all, she hasn't seen Kefka either, and Namine said he was here. ]

What if... what if he is here, and just... not showing himself? There's no way to hide your presence from these boxes, are there?

[ Augh, well meaning Namine, now she's gotten all paranoid. ]

[wellspromise]

If he were here... I am sure he would have shown himself. [He'd be tormenting Cloud...]

I know that you can encrypt your dreams so others can't see, but I don't know if you can hide everything.

[phantasmal_girl]

I see... then....then may she was wrong about him being here ...

[ Perk! Suddenly hopeful. ]

You can? Could... could you show me how? [ Pff, Bad Esper, where are your manners? ] Oh um - sorry. My name is Terra.

[wellspromise]

It's hard to say. Be prepared, but not paranoid, right?

I can try. I am learning about it myself... coding was never my strong point. And nice to meet you, Terra, you can call me Tifa.

[phantasmal_girl]

Oh... yes, I suppose you're right. I shouldn't get my hopes up about something like that.

[ Lord knows she'd get convinced he was gone, and then Kefka would turn up on her doorstep the day after. ]

Co -- what?

[wellspromise]

Coding. It's for things like electronics and computers.

Never heard of it, I take it?

[phantasmal_girl]

.. No, we don't have anything like these .. the Dream berries back home. My friend Edgar would probably understand it all better than I do.

What are computers?

[wellspromise]

If you've never seen one before, they're a little tough to explain. They're like bigger versions of the Dreamberries, and can perform more functions.

[phantasmal_girl]

Hmm...I guess we should be grateful that these Dreamberries aren't computers then. Who knows what sort of things they would show or do if they had -more- functions.

[wellspromise]

It'd probably be catastrophic for us in many different ways.

But so far, making the dreams less public doesn't seem to hard. I can probably teach you once I work out one or two more bugs.
