[Reim is settled in a chair, rubbing his forehead with one hand as he avoids looking directly at the video. At least for the moment. Oscar is resting on Reim's lap, snoring lightly.]I've been here for two months now and I'm still having troubles... adjusting certain things appropriately. For the most part, I've gotten use to this place, however

Oh... I'm... I'm so sorry.

I don't mind that you're telling us, if that's what you're upset about... I suppose that ... the best thing to do is think that you're alive now, and that everything that was in your world is there ... it's over as far as that goes.

So, what you should focus on is the fact that you're okay and things are okay, right?

[silverlunettes]

No, it's fine. None of this is your fault.

I'm not upset over telling everyone, I just assume that people have other things that they need to do instead of listening to me.

I suppose that's true. I'm grateful that I'm alive, and I wake up relieved, it's just... I'd never been in a situation like that before.

[todefydestiny]

Well, I don't mind listening to you. Though, I suppose I'm being a little presumptuous with my help...

Like that? What happened?

audio.

[silverlunettes]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I... almost died after I thought I killed someone. I never thought I'd have to shoot anyone, or kill them for that matter. And then she nearly killed me instead. I... honestly thought I was going to die.

[cowboy_newsie]

[A thoughtful pause.]

I know one o' two ways to make em a little better. But go away entirely? Christ, if you got an answer for that, I'll pay you for it.

[silverlunettes]

As long as they get a little better, I think I'll be fine. If I find an answer to get rid of them entirely, I'll give it to you for free.

[cowboy_newsie]

What're they about?

[silverlunettes]

Mainly, a large dog mauling me to death. [So blunt. But it's the truth. It shows in his voice as well. He seems very uneasy.]

Doing something relaxing to calm you down before bed might help a bit.

Or perhaps do so much beforehand that you're too exhausted to dream?

video;

[silverlunettes]

I... haven't tried either, actually. I have a routine, so I tend to stick to it. Perhaps a change like either of those will help a little. Thank you.

[marked_songbird]

It wouldn't hurt to try. Bad dreams are a little tricky to deal with - what works for one person might not work the same way for another.

I do hope you find something that helps though.

[silverlunettes]

That's true, but it still wouldn't hurt anything. If anything, it'll only make the dream worse, but I'm sure that'll be easy to manage in time.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

I think they have medication for things like that... What happened, Reim?

video;

[silverlunettes]

They do? Perhaps I should look into buying some. I... I almost died in my world. It was a miracle I survived at all.

video;

[quackery]

I never tried any, so I don't know if it works or not.

T-That's horrible! What happened? Maybe talking about it would help!

video;

[silverlunettes]

Well, once I try it, I can let you know.

Maybe. [Reim pauses here for a moment.] I got into a fight with a girl who... had the ability to heal from nearly any injury. I shot her, thinking I'd killed her. She killed my comrade, and she certainly would have killed more, so I thought it was the easiest way. When I tried to warn my friends that her comrades were there, she attacked me. I nearly died.

[There's another pause.]

I'm still... having problems sleeping. I suppose that's to be expected with something like that.

I'm sorry?
I'm not sure pie would help with my nightmares, but thank you for the offer.
