Um.

What's a toaster?

[grey_of_heart]

It's a ... a ... thing what toasts! It's brilliant.

[thebestnation]

Why don't you just use fire? Or the stove. Either of those would toast things just as good as...a toaster thing.

[grey_of_heart]

Right on the burner? What a mess. 'Ere, I should show you this thing, you put the bread in and in about a minute it POPS UP and you have TOAST.

Lovely with jam.

[stop_it_tewi]

H-how can you be excited about a toaster when we're trapped here?!

[grey_of_heart]

I never dream about toasters! It must Mean Something.

[Another pause.]

What'd you say, trapped?

[stop_it_tewi]

Mean... something...?

...

Yes, trapped! Unless... unless you're the person who brought me here and wiped out the other moon rabbits...?!

[grey_of_heart]

Dunno about any moon rabbits, luv. I just woke up here. Or I dreamed I woke up here. Very weird, those things.

Wot's a moon rabbit, anyway?

[serverofshota]

[Unaffected! Just blinks as he stands in the kitchen doorway.]

[grey_of_heart]

Oh! Hullo, you must be that bloke from the photos. Not sure why you're here; maybe it was that assignment in Kyoto last year. Remnants of... something. I've been reading about dream theory. It's fascinating! You work things out in your subconscious, only it takes on different forms when you sleep. It's just brilliant.

[Who knew he could talk this much? And so very animatedly!]

[serverofshota]

...

[Head-tilt.]

Gabriel?

[grey_of_heart]

That's me.

Wait, how do you know me? I--

Right, this is a dream.

[He certainly looks like the Gabriel that Mori knows, but he's much younger--at least twenty five years.]

What's your name?

[ra_ra_razputin]

Oooh! Can I see?

[grey_of_heart]

YES. You should ... wait, where do I live?

[nota_bumblebee]

Ohs, a toaster?! So yous can makes a nice hots cup of coffee!

[grey_of_heart]

[Gabriel blinks at his toaster.]

They do that here?

[He pokes it.]

Looks like a normal toaster to me.

[nota_bumblebee]

Theys all dos that. What else woulds theys be fors?

I am cracking up just so you know

[grey_of_heart]

[...]

They're for toasting bread. To make toast. With a bit of cream and jam?

[He pokes it again. Coffee?]
