[ 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.]

Well.. once or twice. Both circumstances weren't the best, I have to say, but.. yeah.

Long story, short answer version.


- - You ok?

[buildindreemz]

nope

not ok

no one can help

thx though

[braidedwonder]

No one can help? What the hell is going on?

I may not be a psyche doctor but none of that seems normal.
Even for an abnormal dude like me.

[buildindreemz]

im going a very particular kind of crazy

no one here would understand

[braidedwonder]

I mean look where you are and everything about this place.

The chances are higher here that someone might get it than anywhere else in the universe I would think. Some trippy alien shit and all.

[buildindreemz]

nope

i already asked about it no one knows

[braidedwonder]

Must've been before I showed up then...

Still, sounds rough.
Might not hurt to, you know, unload on someone some day.

[buildindreemz]

somnacin

no?

nobody knows.

[braidedwonder]

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.

Who?

[She's not the first person to look like this, sound like this, but Claire knows better than to jump right in. Her voice matches her expression: soft and careful.]

[buildindreemz]

dreams always feel real when we're in them.

[ She has to shake her head - she knows how she sounds but there's really only one way to explain what - who - she's seeing that will make any sense to anyone here. ]

I'm seeing a ghost.

[ Theon hasn't fallen ill, not like Ariadne clearly has, but her question hits incredibly hard all the same. He's spent most of his time here questioning how much of what he knows is actually truth, how much he actually experienced and how much he didn't. He's been granted odds and ends of information, but none of them fit together. None of them make sense. If anything, they've made him doubt the people he once trusted more than anyone else.

Basically, he has to respond. ]

Did you feel this way even before you fell ill?

text;

[buildindreemz]

kind of yes, it's hard to explain

[nineteenfortyfive]

A hallucination. You're ill. You're aware of that, aren't you? People have been getting sick.

[No one new, not that she's seen, so at least that's the small blessing in all of this. It's just that no one is getting better. They're getting like this.]
