I'm afraid you've shown us too much.

[lifestreamqueen]

I don't think it was my fault.

It seems to be an epidemic.

[ it's been long time since the girl with the garden who comforted his failures and thought he'd look good in a dress, and Arthur has grown since then, but he remembers. watching this makes him sad in some indefinable way, and he wants to be tactful about it's presence on the network. he clears his throat lightly. ]

[lifestreamqueen]

[He would look good in a dress.]

...

[The noise startles her out of her thoughts. She smiles and gives a little nod.]

Yes?

[supercilious]

Er. Sorry. Just wanted you to know you'd been broadcasting.

[lifestreamqueen]

It's okay. It was my own fault, after all.

[Headtilt.] Hmm...do I know you?

[ What's Cloud doing holding a sword above his head facing Aerith? ]

...

[ He awkwardly rubs the back of his neck, staring down at the Forge. ]

Some dream, huh? They, uh...happen sometimes. Anyone explain 'em to you as of yet, Aerith?

[ Video ]

[lifestreamqueen]

[That'd been...startling, to say the least.]

No, not yet. Do they happen a lot?

[There were better things to dream about!]

[knows_it_all]

Um, yeah...'bout once a month or so. They're not always bad, but the majority seem to be. And they're just out there for everyone to see. Avoiding sleep...doesn't always help, either. Thoughts and all sorts of things can be caught by these Forges.

[lifestreamqueen]

[They could probably add this to the bad category.]

At least it's just the Forges doing it, and not something else. It's still pretty strange, though. Why would they want everyone to see everybody's thoughts...?

[There's always something so... strange about seeing things that come after him. And this one, it's new, isn't it? He hasn't seen this played out in the memories of others, but he thinks he knows what it is. Has a dark feeling...]

You okay?

[lifestreamqueen]

[There's a little noise of amusement.]

I'm usually the one asking you that.

Voice

[i_love_squats]

Weeeell, I wouldn't want things to get predictable now. You might get bored.

...Or as bored as you can get in a place like this.

Voice

[lifestreamqueen]

I can't imagine you getting bored anywhere, Zack.
