[Nepeta just stares. She's never spoken to John but she recognises him from the viewport and that checkered battlefield is definitely familiar]

You too? It seems like dreaming about your lusus is a thing that's happening now.

[It's spoken more to herself than anything. Boy is she in for a shock if he's heard her]

[He wasn't aware it was on, so he jumps a little at the voice and flops over to pick up the Dreamberry. It's another troll! His pep is a little lost right now, though. And, oh- his dream posted.]

Lusus? I guess to trolls he is kind of like a lusus? That's my dad.

[gr33nblood]

Yeah, he's the one who took care of you, right? Is he okay? What happened to him?

[video]

[inheritors]

Yeah, he did. I think that he is alright, but I am not sure where he is. I was kind of looking for him before I woke up here. I haven't really seen him since the game started.

[He sits up, squinting through the room's darkness. He knows Dave's voice, though, so there's no question about who is standing there.]

Hey Dave. You saw the dream too? I guess that is a pretty silly question to ask, since I think everyone probably saw it.

(action)

[inheritors]

Well, I really don't mind it.

[Leaning on his hands, there's a quiet sigh.]

I just miss him a lot.

[Vriska stares for a long time with a look of aggravation. Of course. He was from an earlier time -- he hadn't found his dad yet. How inconvenient!

She should probably tell him, she thinks.

...maybe later. Maybe never.

...probably never.]

Joooooooohn~! Wake up, Heir of Naptime!

[voice]

[inheritors]

I am not really sleeping anymore, Vriska. I kind of woke up right after my dream, I think. What's up?

[voice]

[arachnida]

It'd be weird if you were answering me in your sleep. I don't think that's how this place works!

[Long pause. Hoo, awkward!]

You'll find him.

[voice]

[inheritors]

Sometimes sleep talking is a thing that can happen.

[There's a nod and he flops back on his bed.]

I know, you told me that. But I still have not found him, and I wonder how long it will be now that I'm here instead?

[The dream had probably been partly spurred from Jade's dream, which had gotten him thinking more about his Dad than he had been.

He gets up to open the door, fumbling around a bit without his glasses on before he manages to open it.]

Hey, Jade. What's the matter?

[inheritors]

Umm, I'm okay. I just really miss my dad a lot.

[Siiigh. So many nightmares lately! Too bad she knows his lusus is dead. Awkward.]

Jeeez, all of these lusus dreams lately!

[inheritors]

Sorry! I did not really mean to add to all of the dreams about parents, or lususes? Lusii?

What is the plural of that anyway??

video; YAYYYY

[foretolds]

I will forgive you just this once!

[She grins.]

And it is lusii.

Hehe, gee, thanks Terezi!

[Rolling his eyes and smiling at her, even though she can't see. And he probably forgot that little detail anyway.]

I wonder why everyone is dreaming about family all of a sudden? Maybe it is something we ate?
