:: A rustle and then a light but husky male voice, slightly tired but gentle and friendly, speaks::

Ugh... that was nasty... Hey... hey there, it's okay... :: Reassuringly:: It's gonna be okay... You're not the only person to have a dream like that recently: I did, too.

[breaksmybones]

Yeah, no kidding.

[She heaves a breath, trying to ignore the massive headache she was feeling now.]

So it's not like this is a fluke, right?

[She had never had a nightmare where she would wake up feeling crappier than before.]

[cutiegami]

Yeah, I don't think it is, either, if there's more than one of us. I've been looking around a bit, and there's been a few other people who've been hit by nightmares. [His voice is haggard, but he's managing to keep up his cheeriness]

Do you kinda feel like you might be getting sick, too?

[breaksmybones]

Well, they say misery just loves company.

[So the moon is doing its thing again. 8| Just wonderful.]

It's just my head. [But somehow, just mentioning it is making Claire sick to her stomach and her expression betrays that.]

[After he's regained his bearings from feeling that dream--he had forgotten all about the effects-- he replies.]

Claire!

Claire, are you all right?

[Video]

[breaksmybones]

I'm fine, Takuma. [She is looking a little green though.]

[Video]

[bound_canary]

[He rubs the bridge in between his nose trying to get the sight of blood out of his head.]

That was a lot of blood...

Do you need me to come over?

[Video]

[breaksmybones]

[Claire had almost forgotten that this was hard for him too, seeing all that blood in her dream.]

Takuma... you don't have to.

[But that's not a no. |Da]

[pointofserenity]

[After seeing that Charles also found himself automatically reaching for his forehead even knowing that it was a bleed through of what Claire was feeling.]

You knew him.

[Not a question.]

Are you alright?

Video;

[breaksmybones]

... I wish I didn't.

[Damn these effects. It's not making Claire feel any better that people can feel what she's feeling in her dreams.]

I'm all right. [Ugh. She starts to rub the area between her brows with her thumb and index finger.] Just a bad dream.

Video;

[pointofserenity]

Just a dream or a memory?

You should talk to someone. I'm a stranger, but there has to be someone else.

[breaksmybones]

It's not-- [It was a twisted version of an event that did happen back home.] He... he never got to me. [She had Peter to thank for that.]

[She heaves a breath. As much as she wants to talk about this...] I... I can't.

[viiinote]

[He's watching, yes, and it's quite the scene, he has to admit. There's no concern on his face or in his voice, however, because, well, Axel just isn't like that. Not yet, at least.]

Claire.

[He speaks, tilting his head as he addresses her.]

[breaksmybones]

[She heaves a breath before she replies.]

Axel.

[He might notice her video is titled at an angle. Claire was feeling rather nauseous and decided to lie down again with the Dreamberry in her hand.]

[viiinote]

Well, well. Another case of the midnight jitters, huh? Did you eat something weird before bed?

[breaksmybones]

Wow, you got me. I knew I shouldn't have eaten chili before going to bed.
