[ The PORTAL feed clicks on at an... odd angle, to say the least. It's obvious that the device is on the floor, and there's a young man, mid-twenties at the most, in the periphery of its shot.

[ Another voice, what hell, bros. It's not a prank, he knows it, but just let him sit in delusion a few minutes longer, please... ]

Mhm. That! Except it looks however you want it to be. Some people have books as theirs.

Quorra. [ Beat. ] Zachary.

Never heard of Promenade. How close are we to Atlanta from here?

[isomorphology]

It's nice to meet you, Zachary.

Promenade is a dream city.

[eternityunseen]

Yeah, nice to meet you too.

A dream city?

[isomorphology]

Meaning it's in your dreams.

[eternityunseen]

In my dreams? [ He laughs, just a little, at that. If it were his dreams... well, he wouldn't be fumbling around right now. ]

[isomorphology]

All of ours, really. It's hard to explain.

[eternityunseen]

All of our dreams at once?

[isomorphology]

Something like that.
