001 ☀ night video/teneka
[ There is a loud thud from the transmission and the video shows a figure bound by rope crumpled on the floor. They stir a little mouth and eyes widening in surprise as they sit up abruptly from their position. Helios scoots against the walk accidentally knocking into the PORTAL in his dismay. If they had a voice a gasp would have escaped them at

[The video feed that appears shows an older man sitting in a room relatively similar in fashion to the one Helios would have found himself in, just with a very few more personal touches of habitation scattered around. The view visible from the PORTAL as it's apparently propped against a wall on a desktop confirms that much.
Giles himself is sitting at the desk, with a sheaf of papers scattered before him in all disarray - maps and his own personal scribbles. the only clear space being for a mug of tea with steam still rising from above the rim of the cup.
He stares back at Helios with mild curiosity and milder suspicion. He caught a glimpse of the eye, just before Helios closed it. Nothing normal, in his experience, has eyes like that, or even just one eye like that.]

I can hear your voice...that's rather strange. [ He'll look around the room stopping at the mirror. His voice sounds distant and a bit confused. His head isn't looking down at the portal anymore. ] That mirror. How is that possible?
[ This land was odd almost too odd. But he's seen stranger the mirror is getting a very concerned glance from Helios though. ]

And yes, you can. One of the many unusual things you'll have to get used to about this place. I suppose I should start with the basics. We can't talk after the sun sets, but we can still communicate.
[His jaw tightens slightly at the mention of the mirror. Helios might catch a glimpse of Giles' mirror - it has a sheet thrown over it, at the moment.]
The shortest answer, of course, is that you're dreaming. And what you're seeing through that mirror is your life as you dream.

He'd ask but, well, it wasn't any of his business really. If it projected someone's life then...it was rather personal and he's not sure how he feels about that just yet. Either way his head tilts a little to the side and he leans up against the wall. ] A dream? A collective dream then? Or a world entirely separate. Ha! A dream world. Since we are all in the same place...I-I assume it's possible. [ A thoughtful hum would be heard if he had a voice. Any one of the dream entities he's met would be intrigued by such a place. Either way his lips still purse together as he preforms the action. ]
Everything feels quite real though. I-I suppose that's to be expected given the nature of this place. It is...rather strange. Fascinating ( ... )

........... Are you alright?
[Yes, she realizes that's not exactly the answer to his question... Any of them. But honestly, how could she answer something with him tied up like that?]

[ You definition is a bit skewed Helios. ]

Are you sure? That's not exactly an ideal situation you find yourself in....
