[ There's a conversation going on but it's not picked up clearly at all and seems to get clearer halfway in: ]

I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong person.

I don't know anyone named Tom.

Well, I do, but he doesn't look like me. At all.

Sorry.

*Slouching in an out of the way corner.*

Only used that name once.

Who---

[ Arthur does an abrupt about-face and squints at the corner down the shallow alley, walks to the crouched figure. When he's down there like that and in the alley besides, Arthur can't get a good look at him...well not yet. ]

Do you need help?

[ Contrary to some wide-spread belief, being a criminal doesn't make you a bad guy all of the time. It's the best kind that can at least play at a decent citizen but the truth is often enough, Arthur is, right down to accurately paying his taxes. Helping someone who might need it, a kid it looks like, is considerably easier to do than to not do. ]

*Ignore Arthur's first question, not going anywhere. Brendan's not one for crowds.*

No, things are fine.

They don't look fine.

What're you doing here?

[ Arthur knows everyone just gets dragged into the City but most people don't hole up in corners of alleys. ]

[ There's a shuffling noise and a quick oh, shit, followed by a heavy clunk; dropped, probably. A second later it clicks over into video, filled only with blue before it zooms out to focus on Dominique's face. She looks worried, although the subject of her concern is a little difficult to discern. ]

Arthur? Is that you?

[ A beat. ]

It sounds like you.

[ The first thing that gets him are the eyes. A woman's voice, blue hair, nothing really fits and by all rights people shouldn't place so much weight on the eyes but Arthur knows them better than he might know his own. ]

Yeah.

[ He's thinking; it's not you. But then he's remembering running into an Eames who wasn't Eames and yet was, in all the ways that seemed to amount to meaning anything. Because if this is a dream then he has to remember rules don't break so much as twist and reshape. And if this is a dream then the rules aren't the same anyway. You don't wake up if you die. You don't necessarily remember everything you've done.

It's a dream but it's not a dream. Those are Dom's eyes.

He shakes himself out of the reverie. ]

For the right dream, you could be a Tom. Or a Joe.

I assume you've seen her.

[ He'll leave it at that, for now. If the pattern holds, they'll both be gone soon. In theory. ]

Whose dream do you think this is?

[ Might as well ask while he has the chance. ]

*A laugh, smothered as a cough. For some reason, the fact that someone is so insistent that Arthur is someone he's not is amusing.*

[ Ghosts. Talking owls. Arthur has about had it with today. Also tomorrow, in advance. He eyes the wall speculatively anyway though, uncertain but unwilling to just write it off in this strange 'world' which he believes to be a dream. His eyes narrow at the brick and absently he adjusts his watch, noting the coldness of the metal. ]
