Meta Three (voicepost)

[metastable]

*thrashing and shouting*

Hands -- those hands, get them out of my flesh...so many serpents writhing through me -- biting --

Who are you? Who are you?!

Eyes...where--

Not Nightmare...but the hands, they--

*muffled screaming that reaches a pained shout*

Away!

...
...
...

*shallow panting*
...A dream...yes. Only a dream. Always a dream, now. Last night wasn't

Difficulties my friend?

[metastable]

...Nightmare's foulest curse be on your timing, Nicodemus.

Dreams are mere illusions.

[eternalnic]

Indeed. At least...ordinarily. Such dreams could have a different meaning within the City.

Do you wish to speak of them?

[metastable]

They are simply of years gone by.

Do you know who Cori is? According to the City's network, Cori is inducing dreams in citizens here.

[monochrome_mind]

Cori...?

Ah, I can't say that I've heard of that person. However, I will try to gather what information I can, if you'd like.

[metastable]

If you have the time and will, perhaps that is desirable. Whatever you find would be quite informative.

Your name, if you will? I am Meta Knight, a swordsman of Dream land.

[monochrome_mind]

Of course. Information is a critical thing to attain here in the City, so I enjoy every chance to learn more.

Sasha Nein. I'm an agent for an organization of psychics back home. I've never met a swordsman before though.

[metastable]

A respectable pastime. The City is stranger and more complex than it appears on sight.

I am a Star Warrior against Nightmare, in Dream Land. I've never met a psychic, per se, unless you consider those with magic to have mental powers. Have those of your home forsaken conventional weapons for the power of mind and magic? Do you simply read minds, or do you possess other mental power?

[powersponge]

Bad dreams, huh?

Seems to be a lot of that going on, lately...

[metastable]

...So I hear. Have they passed you by?

[powersponge]

Not yet, no.
