42 - Audio - I have the strangest dreams...

[ichoosefight]

[ Audio ]

Have you ever had one of those dreams, where you think you've woken up, only you wake up later and realize you didn't?

...

Yeah, me neither.

[ Private to Bruce ]

So was it a dream or not?

[expectremorse]

I think...once. [He woke up and thought a lot of things before he realized he was still asleep] But I don't remember what it was.

[ichoosefight]

It's kind of disconcerting, right?

[expectremorse]

....It was.

Awkward. Weird. A little...

It was just...

Yeah.

Yeah it is. [He shifts a little uncomfortably]

[ichoosefight]

Thing is, I can't really tell if it was a dream or not. Only that I'm right back where I thought I was.

[young_idealist]

I can't say that I've had anything like that exactly.

How are you?

[audio]

[ichoosefight]

I'm okay. A little disoriented and always, always tired, but I'm okay.

[young_idealist]

If you're not feeling well, be very, very careful. Something terrible is wrong on board.

[ichoosefight]

What? What's happening?

[strangehstorian]

[This is really worrying when looked at with her theory of the Emerald Nightmare causing all of this odd behavior.

Private.]

I'm sorry about this, I know dreams can be very personal, but can you tell me what it was about? I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

private;

[ichoosefight]

Just... normal things on the barge. I woke up, talked to people, hung out... I think I had some really bad pizza. Only then I woke up again.

private;

[strangehstorian]

Well, if it helps, that was probably a perfectly normal occurrence.

[Could be a sign, could be nothing. Dead end. Drat :(]

Are you alright? Do you want me to get you tea or something?

private;

[ichoosefight]

[ She makes a face. ] My head hurts and I'm weirdly exhausted, but I'm okay.

Although if you got me some coffee I would be forever in your debt.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Everything still in one piece?

Private

[ichoosefight]

Lemme check.

[ She bounces her head from one side to the other, like she's trying to shake water out of it. ]

Think so!

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Sounds like you're having an interesting talk with Hoffman.

Private

[ichoosefight]

I- uh-

Crap.

I have this thing where I forget about filters when I first wake up. I think they call it stupidity.

[boughtitall]

Those dreams do happen. On occasion.

[ichoosefight]

I guess so. Reportedly this was real life.

[boughtitall]

You often mistake the two?

[ichoosefight]

Not often.

Well, there was a while there when I did, but that's totally unrelated.

I guess you could call it wishful thinking... or maybe just pessimism.
