[ Ariadne's eyes are fever-bright, her skin pallid. She's clutching something in her hand, something she's reluctant to share with anyone else. Her eyes dart away, then back again, as though she's looking for something - or someone - out of the corner of her eyes. ]

Have you ever thought you were going crazy? Ever... questioned reality?

[ Christ, she's becoming a huge cliche, and she knows it, but there's nothing she can do about it. She didn't think she'd ever be in this situation. Maybe it was her own hubris. But now, here she is. Seeing shades again. Not sure if this is real or a dream. ]

I don't - it's hard when - none of you are -

[ Real. They're not real. She's thought that was a possibility, since arriving, but it's becoming clearer - or maybe muddier? The past several days.

Ariadne starts, jumping a little at something she sees offscreen. ]

I don't know what she wants from me. I never met her in real life. [ Annnnnnnnd cut.]

Honestly to me that sounds like some weird drug the docs might use to make me trip off my ass and see if I could work through it.

So no, not familiar, but interested.

[buildindreemz]

cant say more

dont know what would happen

[braidedwonder]

Most likely?

You'd confuse the shit out of me but that's just another day in the life at the moment, really.
Anyways, I can't force ya, but, you know. Look out for your mind a little, yeah?

[buildindreemz]

worst case, a mob forms and chases me down and tears me to pieces

[braidedwonder]

How so?
Remember, talk like I'm a dunce until further notice.

[buildindreemz]

[ Fine, buddy, you asked for it. ]

because this is all a dream and none of you are real

[braidedwonder]

.... Right.
I mean, honestly that shit wouldn't shock me a bit buuuttttt ... I'm just pretty sure if I was in a dream I'd at least have Deathscythe with me.

This is a pretty crap dream since I don't, just sayin'.

[buildindreemz]

no one said it was a good dream

or that it's even yours

[braidedwonder]

Listen. If you're gonna dream me you better do it right.

That's all I'm sayin'

[buildindreemz]

not mine either

[braidedwonder]

Anyone! A guy's gotta have standards for things!

On a serious note, though - I have severe doubts this is a dream sequence that's very long and detailed. And if it's real, and mine, someone needs to take away whatever I had that caused it.

[buildindreemz]

dreams always feel real when we're in them.

[braidedwonder]

True. Though this place would probably be the most elaborate dream I've ever had or been apart of.

Gotta appreciate that kind of imagination.

[buildindreemz]

not sure i could've come up with this one, thought i had a pretty good imagination

[braidedwonder]

Well! Then we either need to track down the person having this dream to thank them, or..

It's not a dream.

[buildindreemz]

no

i need to wake up

[braidedwonder]

I think you're trying to convince yourself, now, to be honest.

[buildindreemz]

No shit

if i was sure one way or the other i wouldn't be talking about it

[braidedwonder]

I mean are you sure about that? If they're so totally hard to tell apart do you ever know for sure?

[ Maybe trolling... probably trolling... ]

[buildindreemz]

there were ways. none of them work here.

[braidedwonder]

Well shit. Guess we're just gonna have to go with the flow then, huh?

[buildindreemz]

Guess so.

[ Since she can't bring herself to jump off a building. ]
