( there is a very tired looking blond on the camera here, she is sitting in the hospital room of one Desmond Miles and has been for quite a while since she was made aware of his being in there. she’s leaning on her arm, fingers rubbing her temple. after a moment, she opens her blue eyes to stare into the lens )I would have asked this a lot sooner,

[Well, that's a bit of a familiar face. In fact it takes him a moment to respond to her as he flashes back to Desmond's dream and the sight of her being stabbed. But he shakes it off and answers her; both out of curiousity and out of a sense of kinship.]

From what I was told we are dreaming. This is a world call Hypnosia on which Somarium is a city. We are pulled here either while sleeping or daydreaming or in a moment of absence. I will admit to not knowing how, but that is what I have heard.

( for a brief moment she just stares at the image on her screen because it looks like Desmond but that can't be right. just to make sure though, she glances over her shoulder, vaguely, to look at the comatose novice then arches a brow to the man speaking to her. that accent... nah, couldn't be )

Well, that's a bit more information then I've managed to find to date. Although that doesn't explain much. I suppose the largest question is "why" are we here - no one seems to have that answer though.

[For a moment Altaïr smirks at her first reaction: staring then glancing back at Desmond. But his features smooth back out before she can notice and he replies in an even tone, giving no indication of his continuing amusement.]

No, we don't. Nor have we been able to find a way to return to our worlds and awaken. At least not consciously. People do disappear from here, and those that return say they went back to their lives; if they remember their previous time here that is.

[There's a bit of a pause before he decides to just ask]

You are Lucy correct?

[stfu_desmond]

We can come and go from here randomly and not recall ever being here? That's intriguing.

( she gives a slight uncomfortable shift in her position. Lucy doesn't enjoy being recognized by someone she doesn't know - or rather by someone who is from so far in the past that it doesn't make sense for them to be able to even ask her for her name )

Who are you?

[livethecreed]

Altaïr.

Desmond spoke of you, you are his team leader correct? [His voice is bland, but he's enjoying the discomfort she's displaying. It's been a while since his mere presence instilled such and he's planning on enjoying it as much as he can.]

[stfu_desmond]

( rather than disbelief or a blank stare, Lucy just offers an exasperated glare at the name he gives her, having decided that it couldn't be him and someone's being an asshole about making a joke with her )

Very funny.

( she folds her arms over her chest )

I'm the leader of our little group, yes.

[What the hell, why is he getting an exasperated look? Have a glare back Lucy, and it's the one you should recognize as his 'keep talking and I'll stab you' face.]

I'm not being funny.

Then I have information you will be interested in. What is your location? [He might send Madhi with his location, or go to meet you himself. Whatever.]
