01<@Ardweden> [Day: Wednesday/Thursday, August 25/26. Time: Midnight] 01<@Ardweden> [You all went to school the day after the weirdness with Medea, and none of you approached each other over it (though you may have seen each other during your collective lunch period). Nevertheless, last night you all promised to meet each other in this "dream world", whatever that is, and you all followed Medea's instructions: place the charm she gave you under your pillow and fall asleep.] 01<@Ardweden> [Whatever sleep you had before this point was dreamless, or at least you can't remember your dreams. Nevertheless, it must be midnight, because you awake feeling... different. And standing, for that matter.] 01<@Ardweden> [You find yourselves what might be a temple or church: there are stone walls, arched windows, and pillars in Greek or Roman fashion. Torches line the walls, casting flickering shadows. Outside of that, the room is empty, save for double doors and some very strange creatures.] 01<@Ardweden> [Session Start] 06* Imp looks around tail flicking as he tries to figure out why the windows are so far up above him.... 06* Susano-o is a broad shouldered, striking man of slightly greater than human proportions. He wears Japanese-style red lacquered armor, complete with a helmet topped at the front with a lightning bolt. Wisps of mist and smoke rise from him, and small bolts of light carry up and down his body and armor. He carries a sword in a its black scabbard, and has a dark wood longbow slung across his back. 06* Susano-o He blinks at his sudden appearance, and looks around. 06* Imp is a short, red skinned, horned imp with a tail and this curling smog of sulfur coiling off him. 06* Kali lets out a loud scream from behind a pillar as her eyes adjust to her surroundings and look over her. She crouches down, looking at her hands and trying to take it all in. 06* Hien is a seven foot tall, bipedal humanoid dragon. Its (his? her?) entire body is covered in scales: near-white on the front, shading to a brilliant azure on the back with some darker blue stripes. The legs are incredibly sturdy, almost like trunks, with feet ending in three toes (one in front and two in back) with very sharp, black claws. The arms are a bit more human, again with the 06* Hien three digits and claws. The head has an elongated snout, with ear fins that are pale peach on the inside and the same azure on the outside. The wings are peach and azure, and currently folded against the back. On top of the head and on the back between the shoulders is a ridge of blue spines. He/She/It is clothed in a white tunic, with an opening in the back for the wings and ridge, and a 06* Hien white loincloth. 06* Susano-o looks over at Kali at the sound, and blinks again. "Are you all right, there?" 06* Joan woman in full plate armor, sans helmet. The armor is completely form- fitting, has wing-shaped pauldrons that are probably much larger than necessary, and is kind of a silvery-blue color. It's also shiny. Very shiny. She's blue eyed and, judging from her face and the way her armor fits, quite attractive. Her hair's blond, parted in the middle and falls to her waste, and she has a circlet 06* Joan around her head. She also carries a very stylized broadsword on her back, one with a gold hilt and ruby pommel. 06* Hien growls, a small tendril of smoke emanating from its snout, staring at its hands. The claws retract and extend as it flexes its fingers. 06* Joan doesn't actually have blue eyes! Or maybe she does. You can't tell, because it's very difficult to look her in the eyes with the way light pours out of them. 06* Hien also has a tail, which is thick and blue and ends in darker blue scales and a peach fin. Said tail is slowly sliding back and forth across the floor. 06* Imp twitches looking around, very unsure about all this. 06* Kali calls out at the sound. "I-it's fine. Just a bit startled." She steps out from behind the pillar, uncurling herself from her crouched position to about 7 feet in height and unfolding her four arms. She's got reddened skin with black snarls of tattoos about it and a large golden crown on the top of her head as well as a loin cloth tied to hold two swords at each of her hips. She also 06* Kali seems to be wearing nothing on her chest and trying to cover up with two of the arms at least. 06* Joan looks at all the other weirdos around here, and intelligently says, "Uh..." 06* Hien retracts its claws and taps its snout, then looks down at the rest of its body. "I'm a dragon?" The voice is a low rumble, and there's no real masculine or feminine element to it. 06* Kali keeps her arms around her chest, curling herself up. "That's about my sentiments..." 06* Susano-o looks away from her, then, and at the others. He stops on Joan, and then on Hien. "You look to be a dragon, yes." 01<@Ardweden> [Your voices echo around the room. Nice acoustics here.] 06* Joan blinks a few times and looks down at herself, further asking intelligent questions, like "... Why do I have tits?" Same reason I'm half naked and have four arms? 06* Kali breathes out. "It's a dream..." 06* Hien pats the front of the tunic. "I don't. But I guess that makes sense, being reptilian and all." 06* Susano-o keeps an eye on Hien. "So you're a woman?" 06* Kali crouches down a little and rubs her head a little with her free hands. "This is giving me a headache..." 06* Imp grunts" Why do I have a tail and horns?" In reality, yes. Here... I'm not sure. 06* Susano-o nods, and looks at Joan. "But you aren't?" 06* Joan looks at Susano-o with blindingly bright eyes. "Uh... I'm not really sure anymore." Where are we anyway? I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but dragon wasn't it. 06* Susano-o looks back at Hien. "It becomes you, though." Literally. Thank you. I feel as though I ought to bow or something, but I'm afraid of knocking things over with my tail. So who are you guys? 06* Kali refocuses her gaze and looks down at who's talking. She's not used to being so tall. A...a little gremlin? I don't know? I'm something? 06* Kali sighs. "Usually when I have dreams like this, I'd actually feel like the monster, not myself." I feel like I should have a different name here. 06* Susano-o nods. "I feel the same way." Hestraightens himself up. "But I'm Javy. Javy Mayberry." I've 'ad dreams aboot girls before, but I've nevar been... ahh, nevarmind." Well you at least don't sound like Tyler. 06* Hien waves tentatively, which looks odd on a dragon. "Sydney Raynerson." 06* Joan says, "I am 'Ank Morrees." She pauses, then says again, "'Ank. Hhhhhank. Sacre bleu..." 06* Susano-o looks oddly at Joan. "What happened to your voice?" 06* Hien coughs, which sends a bit more smoke out of her (we'll go with her for now) snout. 06* Joan shrugs. "I 'ave no idea!" 06* Kali gives a meek wave and a chuckle. "Tiffany Olivier, at your service." She lets out a long sigh and curls up. "I can tell this is going to be a fun dream." You're not the dragonslaying sort of paladin, are you? 06* Imp starts laughing. "Tyler, tiff.... man you've changed" 06* Joan grins. "Zat would be cool, no? But no, I do not zink so. Unless you are ze bad dragon?" 06* Kali gives the Imp a Look. "You wanna hang by your tail?" I hope not. I mean, I don't think I'm a bad person, so I shouldn't be a bad dragon, either. Besides, I'm supposed to be responsible. I signed the contract! Go ahead and try, I don't think you have it in you. Oui, so did we all. So, we're all here. What do we do now? 01<@Ardweden> [There's a knock knock knocking on your chamber door.] 06* Susano-o keeps an eye on Hien, looking impressed. "If we're ourselves, then we should be fine." 06* Kali sighs. "Sure, get your laughs in. All your friends have enough fun with it." She shakes her head slightly. "For some reason I *thought* you'd be different after last night but I guess I've got to deal with your crap in my dreams too, huh?" 06* Susano-o looks at the door. "Who's that?" I don't know. Should we answer? got a better thing to do? Maybe I should do it, in case it's dangerous. I suspect I'm reasonably durable. Or, uh, Hank, since there's that plate mail and all. 06* Joan opens the door. "Zen allow me." 06* Kali looks over at Hien. "Brave." 06* Hien stands behind Joan, ready to defend the rest of the group if needed. 06* Susano-o rests a hand on his sword, as well. 01<@Ardweden> [On the other side... is a cat. A cat on his hind legs, wearing boots and a pimp hat, and carrying a cane. With a wide, cheshire grin. "Good evening!"] 01<@Ardweden> [Did I mention he's purple? He's totally purple. And the voice sounds male, hence he.] Bon soir! 01<@Ardweden> [Behind the cat, for those looking, is nothing but a foggy gray mist. It doesn't seem to be misting into your haven, however.] Uh, hi there! 06* Kali looks at the cat strangely. "Puss in Boots?" Hello, what should we know about this? 06* Susano-o doesn't move his hand off the sword. "Hello." 01<@Ardweden> ["Nonsense, Kali dear. I am the Walrus."] 01<@Ardweden> [The cat bows, removing his hat.] Coo Coo Ka-choo? Is that literal? I guess you could be a walrus dreaming you're a cat. 06* Joan doesn't seem worried. "Pleased to meet you, monsieur." 01<@Ardweden> ["I *could* be! Regardless, I noticed you were new to this realm and I really absolutely felt the need to come over here and help you out. I do love helping, you see."] 01<@Ardweden> ["Do you mind if I come in?"] 06* Kali raises an eyebrow. "Kali?" 01<@Ardweden> [The cat grins at Kali.] 06* Susano-o shakes his head. "I think it's okay." 'Ow would you know we are new? I think so, too. And if we say we *do* mind? 01<@Ardweden> ["Please, Joan darling, you have been standing here for the past *ever* and haven't even made any modifications to your new home. That makes you quite new, I'd think." The Walrus (Puss in Boots?) smiles at Kali again. My, those are a lot of teeth.] 01<@Ardweden> ["Why, I wouldn't come in. That would be rude. Plus, I wouldn't be allowed. But that's a shame, don't you think, turning away your neighbor like that - and one that *honestly* has good intentions in mind."] Yes. You are positively *dripping* with honesty there." 01<@Ardweden> ["I try! But your kind has always had a great deal of difficulty accepting the truth."] Wait, what did you call, uh, her? 01<@Ardweden> ["Who, that one or that one?" He points at Joan and then Kali with a claw.] The paladin. The one answering the door. 06* Joan steps aside. "Zen please come in." 06* Kali folds her arms a bit. "Joan of Arc, I'm guessing..." 06* Susano-o nods, and shifts his stance a little, watching the cat. 01<@Ardweden> [He bows to Joan. "Thank you, milady. And your mistrusting friend is absolutely right." He strolls right in, looking around, one paw rubbing the other, holding the cane.] 06* Imp sighs shaking his head. "Okay this is confusing* 06* Joan shuts the door after. 06* Kali rolls her eyes slightly. "You're telling me." So we do have different names here. What's mine? 01<@Ardweden> ["This realm often is. You get used to it." He lets out a breath, then looks up at the dragon thing. "Your name is Hien, the Scarlet Flame. Please don't set me on fire. I don't like it."] Oooh, I get a title and everything! And don't worry, I won't set you on fire! What are all our names? What is your name, monsieur? Or do you simply wish us to refer to you as ze Walrus? 01<@Ardweden> ["The Walrus is quite good for now. We are all Eggmen, but there is only one Walrus." He points at Imp. "You are Imp. And you..." He points at the man in armor. "Are Susano-O."] 06* Susano-o looks down at himself. "No way," he says, half reverently. ...Imp is kindof weak compred to the others... 01<@Ardweden> ["Well, not really." The cat smiles. "You're borrowing, or reflecting, or projecting, or something along those lines."] 06* Joan blinks at the Japanese God. "This Susan Oh Oh name ees familiar to you? I 'ave not 'eard of it before." 06* Susano-o nods. "He's one of the main Shinto gods." That's, um, Japanese? 06* Joan nods. "Ah, I see." She pauses. "What is a Shinto?" 06* Imp shrugs. "Fine, so what's going on here?" 01<@Ardweden> [The cat speaks up: "Would someone mind getting me a chair?"] 06* Joan moves to scratch her head, then stops as she realizes she's wearing gauntlets. "I thought ze Japanese were Buddhists..." 06* Susano-o explains, "It's a Japanese traditional religion. It's the spirits of the world." Sure, where? 01<@Ardweden> ["Right here would be wonderful." The cat gestures nearby.] 06* Kali sighs. "Kali's along those lines too, I suppose...that's a weird representation though..." 06* Imp goes to find a chair! 06* Hien looks around for a chair as well. 01<@Ardweden> [You don't see chairs! The cat realizes what you're doing, and somehow he smiles wider. "Simply imagine one."] 06* Joan doesn't. "Why would we 'ave a chair? You know we are new 'ere." Can I imagine Imp as a chair? I'm sure he'd make a good one. "Okay that seems strange...." 06* Imp closes his eyes and imagines one. He'd be rather small. And spiny. 06* Susano-o tries to think of a chair, as well. A nice, strong, wooden-backed one. 01<@Ardweden> [A nice, strong, wooden-backed chair appears before Susano-O, though it's too big for the small cat.] 06* Imp makes a high backed Durablend chair chair from the 1800s appear before him. It's fancy!....and probably too big for the small cat. 01<@Ardweden> [Nevertheless, the cat walks up to the 1800s chair, leans his cane against it, and hops on! ... And then curls up just like a normal cat, purring, boots and all. "Lesson one," the cat instructs, "this is your haven - or your home. It's where you return to, and it can be whatever you want."] That is a nice chair. 01<@Ardweden> ["It is a lovely chair!"] 06* Susano-o crosses his arms, and moves to sit in his own chair, then. "So we can imagine it however we like?" 02* Joan (vortex@pool-98-111-20-87.sctnpa.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout ) 01<@Ardweden> ["Exactly! I believe your kind calls it... 'lucid dreaming'?"] 06* Kali seems to be pondering something. "You said you were our neighbor...right? What did you mean by that?" 03* Joan (vortex@pool-98-111-20-87.sctnpa.east.verizon.net) has joined #Megaten 01<@Ardweden> ["I live here, obviously!"] So everything that lives here is our neighbor? 06* Hien imagines a large, sturdy stone bench. Very sturdy, to support the weight of a dragon. 01<@Ardweden> ["Time and space is all relative, Kali, something your namesake would know well."] He lives here because we let him in. 06* Kali frowns. "I get the feeling you wouldn't say something unintentionally though. Call it a hunch..." How did you find us, then? 01<@Ardweden> ["Why, I went looking." The cat purrs, stretching on the chair. "How does one find anything?"] I theenk... I am lost. 01<@Ardweden> [Hien's chair appears, exactly as she imagined it.] 01<@Ardweden> (s/chair/bench) 06* Kali shakes his head at Imp. "You're missing the po--oh forget it." 06* Hien looks behind, sees the bench, and sits. "I'm always lost. You get used to it after a while." She curls her tail onto her lap. 06* Susano-o frowns. "Do you search for everyone who just arrived?" 06* Imp starts to imagine a throne room, big, guady, over done, red velvet and gold everywhere... 01<@Ardweden> ["Yes! I try to search for everyone everywhere." The cat opens one eye to look at Susano-O. "To know the truth, you must know others."] 01<@Ardweden> [The room begins to shift - slowly, but it does - into red velvet and gold everywhere, with a huge, oversized throne on a dias in the back.] 06* Joan prefers just to lean against a wall. Idly she unsheathes her sword to look at it, and holy crap! It's bright, instantly flooding the room with light. It's probably hard to look at, but Joan doesn't seem to notice it at all. 01<@Ardweden> [The cat shuts his eye.] 06* Susano-o blinks, and looks over at her, shielding his eyes. 06* Hien shuts her eyes and growls slightly. 06* Kali covers her eyes as well. Fortunately having enough arms to cover it. "Jesus Hank..." 06* Imp winces at the light losing his focus. "GAH! what's that?" BTW any one that gets near him notices he DOES smell of sulfur witht that cloud around him. 06* Joan looks up and, seeing everyone reeling from the shininess, resheathes her sword. "Ah, je suis desole! I did not realize..." 01<@Ardweden> [The cat blinks his eyes open again.] Oh right, so we were told that the one that helped us needs our help and I don't see any ravens to strangle.... 06* Susano-o blinks again, to clear his eyes. "It's okay." He looks at the cat, curious about the response to this. We've probably all got things we don't know about like this... 06* Hien opens her eyes. "Sorry about the growling. I think I'm going to do that instead of human sounds when I'm startled and such." Not that I sound very human anyway. At least we can understand you. 01<@Ardweden> ["A raven? He's probably outside somewhere, hard at work."] Doing what? 01<@Ardweden> [The cat smiles. "His job. You've all met him, it should be quite obvious."] 06* Joan frowns. "Torturing people?" Destroying hopes and dreams? 01<@Ardweden> ["Oh ho, that's one way to look at it! Far from generous, though. Far from generous."] 06* Kali frowns slightly. "I'm not sure it was exactly that way with me..." Zen consider yourself fortunate. Huh. My dream ended in fire. And in here, I'm a dragon. The Scarlet Flame. And I breathe fire. 06* Kali shakes her head. "I'm not saying it was any fun...I'm saying it was more like..." She curls up a bit. "He was reminding me what reality really was..." The dream was *way* less pleasant though. My dream ended in two trucks. 06* Hien tilts her head. "Yeah, I don't see a connection there." 06* Joan shudders. 01<@Ardweden> ["Two trucks is often better than one!" the cat grins.] That can't be the way reality is. People were dead there that aren't in real life. 01<@Ardweden> ["But death is only the beginning." The cat rolls over, stretching the other way.] 06* Kali shakes her head. "I don't know...maybe my dream was different...it was..." She frowns a bit and stops herself. It was a nightmare instead of a paradise. So you still haven't answered anything. 06* Susano-o smiles wolfishly at the cat. "You would know. You have nine lives, right?" 01<@Ardweden> ["I might!" The cat turns his head upside down, hanging off the edge of the chair, and grins at Susano-O. His hat falls off to the floor.] You dropped your 'at. 01<@Ardweden> ["So I did," the cat confirms. "You can keep it."] So what help does he need? But you won't look right without it. 01<@Ardweden> ["I can't tell you! Because I don't know. But if I were to gueeeeeess..." The cat pauses.] 06* Kali sighs. "Speaking of which, can someone try imagining me some clothes?" Why not imagine them yourself? You'll know what you want best of all of us, right? I'm sure you'er full of most interesting guesses 06* Joan tries imagining Kali in a four-armed sun-dress, complete with matching straw hat. 06* Kali sighs. "Right. I can do that." She imagines herself to at least have a black tubetop which goes inbetween her arms, in addition to her normal bottom. Which might run counter to Joan's imaginings. 01<@Ardweden> ["He might be overworked, that raven," the cat says cheerfully, then flips over and hops off the chair, grabbing his cane and his hat. He spins the hat on one paw.] 01<@Ardweden> ["He might need a little help," the cat adds. "A little help from his friends."] 06* Susano-o leans forward in his chair, and regards the cat. "He needs help invading people's dreams?" ....fuck. Why are we his friends now? I don't know any raven... 06* Joan nods. "'E did not semm to be ze friendly sort." 01<@Ardweden> ["Nonsense!" the cat says. "He doesn't *invade*. He hangs out and helps! In a professional way! Although I must admit his bedside manner has always left much to be desired."] It really, *really* does. And I didn't see it as being that helpful. He wakes people up. So you want us to wake people up? After letting zem suffer. After enjoying it. 01<@Ardweden> [The cat pulls a gold star out of his hat and tosses it to Imp.] Why help us though? Not that I'm ungrateful... 01<@Ardweden> [The cat smiles. "That's a good question, and also not one I can answer. We've never seen quite eye to eye. It may be the height difference."] Busiest district or region. Get a group of local managers to handle the issue so the big wig can watch the national picture. 06* Kali eyes Imp. "What on earth are you talking about?" What's your role, then? You must be more than the welcoming committee. basic corporation thought. We had a bunch of people recently not wake up? We're all from the same area. He's getting local people on site to handle the issue so he doesn't have to. 01<@Ardweden> ["I? I! I bring the truth, or at least as much of it as someone can take."] I'm really confused. That's ridiculous though. This is a dreamscape. Distance has no meaning here. 01<@Ardweden> ["It's quite all right, darling," the cat smiles. "I get that a lot. Unless you were referring to Imp? He gets that a lot, too."] 06* Susano-o chuckles at that. 01<@Ardweden> [The cat raises a claw. "True but not true, Kali. Distance has no meaning... but thoughts and feelings, desires and fears. Those have meaning."] Zat 'as been made obvious. So...you're saying desires tie people together closer here? 01<@Ardweden> [The cat smiles. "One of many things. If you want to search for someone, it helps to know them."] So, we could see our friends' dreams, if we wanted? Or our family? oh man, that's creepy 01<@Ardweden> [The cat nods and nods, paws folded over his cane. "If you know them well enough, and your desire is strong enough."] 01<@Ardweden> [The hat somehow ended up on his head again.] How do we know if someone's in danger though? Versus just having a normal dream? Fuck that's creepy to think of. I don't want people looking at my dreams. Worried we'll find something you don't like? Well, they can't if you're in here. 01<@Ardweden> [The cat cocks his head. "Look for help. Maybe in your waking world. Maybe here. But you won't get it from me."] So we can't find you, if we want? We need to know you better? 06* Kali then looks at the cat and narrows her eyes. Why not you?" Didn't you say you were 'ere to 'elp us? 06* Imp looks into Kali's eyes. "Think of your most private dreams and me knowing all the details. Hell think of me having your diary." Where will we get help, then? 01<@Ardweden> ["Because it's not *my* job, Kali darling, nor is it my business. This falling asleep and sticking around stuff - annoying, yes, but no fur off my tusks. Like I said, I have never quite seen eye to eye, one way or another. And I do not live where you do. I can't look for your signs."] 06* Kali blinks. "Wait." 01<@Ardweden> [The cat smiles at Joan. "Why, Joan, I want to help *everybody*." Pause, then he looks a little sad. "You don't think I'm helping?"] Sticking around? Falling asleep and sticking around? So people are staying here? You are 'elping to make me confused, but I appreciate ze gesture nonezeless. 01<@Ardweden> ["Thank you, Joan. I do mean that. I so often go unappreciated." The cat pulls a golden pocket watch out of his hat and looks at it. "Well, my time is up! I'll see you around, hmm?" And with that, he drops his hat onto the floor and hops into it. And through it, looks like.] 06* Hien stands up. "Whoa, wait!" 06* Joan stares after, and says something intelligent once more. "Uh..." Okay, so two mythical beings I want to strangle the crap out of. 01<@Ardweden> [The hat is still there.] 06* Kali reaches for the hat in a moment. For a while she doesn't seem to be moving, then in a flash, she's suddenly there, grabbing thin air for the hat. No cat though. 06* Joan looks inside it. Here eyes possibly illuminate the inside. 01<@Ardweden> [Inside looks like... the inside of a hat. A cat-sized hat.] 06* Joan reaches in, with the intent of retrieving the cat. 06* Imp steps back. "And this is where the train comes out of the hat and flattens the coyate. I've seen it." 06* Susano-o gets up out of his chair, surprised, and looking at the hat. 01<@Ardweden> [Joan's hand hits the back of hat.] 06* Joan shrugs, "Well, now I feel as confused as evar." Okay, I don't know where to even start 06* Susano-o looks at it warily. "Should we keep it? Could he just jump out again?" If we want him to come back. 'E said we could, non? 06* Kali sighs. "We don't know if the invitation was a one time thing or if he'll be able to be here waiting for us from now on anyways." He'll probably just show up whenever he feels like it anyway. He's a cat. Probably. It's a cute hat, though. 06* Imp goes to sit in his fancy chair because no one is paying any attention. He'll let them sort this out. 06* Susano-o smiles at Hien. "Try putting it on." 01<@Ardweden> [Imp finds purple cat fur on his fancy chair.] 06* Imp lets out a sigh. "We could always build a new one." 06* Hien laughs, a deep rumbling sound, and puts a cat-sized hat on her dragon- sized head. 06* Joan laughs at that. So...I guess the question is...what do we do here *now*? We don't really have any leads, do we? I'm not going out there without someone who has an idea of where we're supposed to go. I get lost really easily in reality. Dreams can't be better. 06* Kali frowns. "He said people get stuck here..." 06* Susano-o laughs deeply, as well, and then settles, looking at Kali. "We could set up the room. I didn't see anything outside. We could try imagining something out there. See if that works." 06* Kali snorts. "The yellow brick road." Why not? I would like see more of zis place. 06* Kali frowns. "I wonder if we could imagine the raven..." Like summoning it that way? I do not zink so. I could not bring back zee Walruscat. Maybe... Besides, do you really want to zee him again? I do not. We might at least be able to find out what he's doing here. Why he got the job, I guess. And how he figures it out. 06* Kali shivers. "I don't know. I don't want to be here at all..." 06* Joan frowns. "I doubt zat." I do not zink 'e would tell you. We don't know any of the folks lost here, why don't we pick some one we all know and try to find their dream. Seems easiest. I do not know anyone you know. That's true. You just got here. You know all of us, though. Enough to be here. 06* Kali glances at Imp for a moment. Maybe we can start with someone we know, and take you in. It's still creepy as fuck, but do you want to stumble on a grandmothers wet dream? 06* Hien breathes a bit of smoke in Imp's direction. "Ew." 06* Kali sighs. "I don't know anyone's dreams I'd want to see..." Who's likely to be safest? Maybe a little kid? Sure, let's go with that. My best friend does have a baby brother. But I'd feel really weird doing that. 06* Joan shakes her head. "Zey are probably ze worst! An adult may 'ave nightmares about losing 'is business or a relative dying. A child ees likely to 'ave dreams of monsters!" Or sledding down a mountain, or petting ducks. It could be a good dream. Fight in a dream. Slay a monster. Earn a little kid's heart. Besides, we're trying to go for someone more than one of us know. 06* Kali half smiles. 06* Susano-o glances at Kali. "Is that a thing?" It could be. 06* Joan pauses, then looks at Kali. "Hmm... Maybe eet ees not so bad an idea after all." I mean some of us have weapons anyhow. Look, let's pick a teacher we all hate. How about Mr. McMillian? He's a bastard with those tests. I kind of liked him. Uh...yeah. Me too. Monsieur McMillian? 'E seems nice enough. You're all insane. Pick some one now or we wait till we have more to go on. Says the midget who stinks a lot. How about Dr. Poulain? Sure, Poulain Very well. I don't think I've had him? Her? For any classes. Ugh...okay him. Remind me who that is again? That old science teacher, right? Oh! I always pronounced his name wrong. Sure, let's go with him. With the big glasses and the huge mustache. 06* Susano-o nods. "Good." 06* Imp heads for the doors. "Let's go then." He flings them open... or well tries and then slowly opens one side. 06* Kali opens the door. A lot easier than the mini-imp 06* Susano-o strides away from his chair, going towards the door, too. 06* Hien follows people towards the doors! 06* Joan heads out. "Zis is exciting, non?" 01<@Ardweden> [The doors open! On the other side is...] 01<@Ardweden> [Session End.]
