first dream - unexpected arrival

[shaper_lord]

[A long moment as he orients himself to this place that is not where he intended or expected to wind up.]

Sister? ...Delirium?

[Shorter pause in which metaphysical senses determine that he cannot get anywhere else, then dictated in an imposing tone.]

Whoever you are, show yourself.

It has shown itself. All you need do is look at your surroundings.

[shaper_lord]

[A pause, and his voice is now directed at the journal.]

I am in no mood for games. Speak clearly.

[devil_blue]

Then you are going to despise this place.

I assume that, by what has been recording, you were not expecting to arrive here. Rather, you were in the middle of something important. Or personal, perhaps.

That is the power of this place, of this world. It has taken you from your own, whatever that may be, and has stripped you of something. An ability, a memory, something.

Welcome to Cair Paradisa.

I despise any prison, when I am on the wrong side of the bars.

I was traveling to my brother's garden, alongside my sister. Have you seen her? She is very distinctive in appearance.

I believe I am aware of what has been taken, besides my freedom. ...Strange that I've never heard of this place before, though.

[spongetastic]

Did you say "Delirium"?

[shaper_lord]

I did. Do you know my sister?

[spongetastic]

She's a dear friend of mine.

[shaper_lord]

I am glad to hear that she has been cared for. How long has she been here?

[mmm_paradise]

So which one might you be?

[shaper_lord]

I am Dream.

[mmm_paradise]

Delighted to make your acquaintance. Your sister has only spoken well of you.

[shaper_lord]

[Have to try harder than that to get a reaction.]

Has she? That's surprising.
