I heard that song. [ Well. Technically she doesn't KNOW it, but she heard it in her dream. And then woke up scrubbing her skin raw because she thought the blood was still on her. ]

That's four and counting; and the second I've never met before. Definite support for external origin.

Hullo, my name's Remus. [doesn't ask if she's feeling all right, though clearly concerned at her appearance; unless his voice is always so exceptionally kind] You are…?

[ She's still getting used to people asking her name and not having darker motives. There may be a slightly guarded tone in her voice when she answers. ]

Four? [ Man, that goes beyond coincidence. ] I-I'm Freya. ... It's...nice to meet you, Remus.

[seems surprised at her name] Indeed…! [not quite the shock meeting Hades or Merlin had been, as has a hunch this isn't in fact the goddess incarnate (on hair colour alone); still astonishing to be introduced to her right after this exchange.]

…Well, Freya, I promise to look into this. In the meantime, I don't think there's much cause to worry. Dreams already tend to be… less private that one would assume, around here.

[ She's a little puzzled by the surprise, but shakes her head at the latter comment. Ahaha! XD ]

I'm not really worried. I always have nightmares... they're just... usually different from the one I had. Nothing looked familiar, I mean.

Do...all dreams get ....recorded like that then?

[Video] lumenrelegandus April 11 2011, 05:22:25 UTC

That was just me, writing down what I remembered. This wasn't a recorded dream.

But yes, sometimes they are. You'll know them when you see them. [or experience them]

[Video] cursedtobe April 11 2011, 22:33:19 UTC

Oh ...

I think I already... I mean, I think a dream I had, was recorded once. Not long ago - it, seemed that people were able to see what I dreamed. [ To her great shame. ]

[Video] lumenrelegandus April 12 2011, 20:08:57 UTC

Ah yes, I'm sorry… that's happened to me, as well. Several times. It's happened to many of us here. We've all felt embarrassed, so no one's- [well, "likely". Some would always go for the pain.] -in much of a position to single anyone else out for it.

[Video] cursedtobe April 13 2011, 01:51:12 UTC

Oh You didn't have anything to do with it - it's not necessary to apologize.

I - - have you been here in this place, long?

[Video] lumenrelegandus April 13 2011, 03:16:28 UTC

Yes… [since October; of all the months of the year he can always remember October. So what month is it now? …Oh Merlyn's knees.] Over half a year.

[Video] cursedtobe April 14 2011, 00:43:23 UTC

That's. . . .a long time. Did you ever go home? I ..hear that two others were sent home and they returned.

[Video] lumenrelegandus April 14 2011, 23:19:39 UTC

I... [was briefly resurrected as a ghost, but...] ...no. [Too specific, information irrelevant to others as wouldn't be repeatable; so he keeps it private.] I have heard of others going but it's hard to quantify anything here. [whether you could call it a "trick" or "real", or whether, in a world where everything could be a trick, reality is, more than everywhere else, just what you make of it.]

[hesitates; doesn't address what he suspects from her question -- that she's hoping to go home -- since he can offer neither material help, nor a solid dissuasion from holding on to such thoughts]

Where is home, for you?

[Video] cursedtobe April 15 2011, 01:24:06 UTC

[ Oh dear. She doesn't think anything of the pause, considering the question uneasily. ]

... nowhere. [ She draws back, glancing away. ] My home is gone. [ Or actually, she was no longer welcome. ]

[Video] lumenrelegandus April 22 2011, 05:18:24 UTC

[When he says it it isn't just words. It's not polite or out of lack of something else to say. It's deeply true.]

I'm so sorry.

[Video] cursedtobe April 22 2011, 23:08:35 UTC

[ So was she. ]

... thank you. [ It's awkwardly given. She's still not used to strangers being genuinely compassionate - and even now she was a little suspicious, but. ]

[Video] lumenrelegandus April 23 2011, 02:47:31 UTC

[Lets the silence hang a moment.

At last,]

There's a young woman here from the same world as myself. She comes from an earlier point in our shared timeline than I do. It's… bewildering. I want to help and support her in settling in here, adapting to life in Anatole, but part of me can't let go what I know of her future, wondering if I should instead be trying to help her get back to it.

I, on the other hand, reached the end of my story there. I'm not going back.

…I think, that between her and me, in this instance I feel like the fortunate one. I can focus solely on the present.
