That's not the wisest idea, word of advice.

[dyingwings]

[She flicks her eyes towards the 'berry, and picks it up again.]

Really? Gonna stop me, Sis?

[She stomps her foot, and huge cracks appear in the floor of the cafeteria, while plaster rains from the ceiling.]

Let.

Me.

OUT.

[faultlesscon]

Ah-- [That? He felt it and it's got him alarmed, considering he's in one of the farther rooms.]

I don't have power over any of this, no one does--I doubt your sister is here either. [And he's trying to avoid saying her name to get around the 'HOW DO YOU KNOW ME' bit.]

video->in person if that's ok?

[dyingwings]

I have power here.

[She smiles, and disappears into a black cloud of mist, leaving the 'berry to clatter to the floor and turn off.

A second later, there's a knock at the door]

or do I need to just come right through?

it's always okay!

[faultlesscon]

[That... is never going to get old, or make him stop jumping. Opening the door, he exhales.] I'm aware you can--you've told me.

Or.. The older you did.

[dyingwings]

[She does poke her head and upper body through the door, leaning on her forearms, a curious expression on her face]

Older me? What do you mean?

[faultlesscon]

[He jumps at that, exhales.] I know you when you get older, but I'm not a time traveler of any kind.

You've just been aged down for the week.

[dyingwings]

I'm endless. I only get older when I need to be, when things are complicated.

Or when I want to.

So why would I want to get less older?

[faultlesscon]

Because you didn't-- this place did that part for you.

[dyingwings]

Why'd it do that? Seems like kind of a funny thing to do.

[faultlesscon]

No one here knows--it may be because they're bored, cruel, with the means to do so... Take your pick.

I'm Alex. [Re-introducing yourself? Awkward.]

[dyingwings]

I've never seen an Alex. Are you a name like the James is?

[She blinks]

[No, apparently this isn't going to be getting any easier]

You look like Dream. A little. Your hair is different, but that's ok, because you're not Dream, you're an Alex.

[faultlesscon]

Well--Alex is a name. I'm a human, but my name is Alex--something like that.

[Eyes a little wide, he stares.] Who is Dream?

[dyingwings]

So a name is like a pet. Where's your Alex?

Dream is my sibling. I have six of them.

[She smiles]

Destiny, Despair, Dream, Delight, Destruction and Desire.

I told you already, I'm an Endless.

[faultlesscon]

I... am him. [Confusion. Ahoy.] Not sure what you keep for a pet.

So that's what I should call you then?

[dyingwings]

but if you aren't an alex but you are a person but you are a him, what are you?

Is this a game?

[She smiles]

It's a fun game.

You should call me Death! That's who I am. And what I am. Nothing complicated.
