[ here they are in the void. cloud, who is not used to not having full invests, is looking around ]

Hey. [ that's rupert's greeting. ] Find anything?

[agleam]

Find...? Not exactly.

[he frowns.]

Did you have a weird dream last night, though?

[skyagain]

[ ... ! ]

... Yeah, actually. What was yours about?

[agleam]

I was climbing a mountain during a snowstorm... It was steep and I was pretty high up, but I was trying not to think about it. Then I slipped and fell off.

[skyagain]

[ !!!! ]

That's the same one I had. [ ... ] Right before you slipped, did you think you were almost safe?

[agleam]

[he blinks]

—Yeah. And then you felt a pain at the end?

[skyagain]

Yeah. That's what woke me up. [ the. landing. they both do not say what it was. ] I wasn't sure if it was relevant or just this place messing with me.

[agleam]

That's really strange...

[after a moment:]

I'm going to ask a few other people about it, but - have you talked to anyone who said they didn't have that dream?

[skyagain]

No one I've talked to today has had it. You're the first.

[agleam]

Who else did you ask?

[but also]

I wonder why us... We weren't in the same area or anything. Maybe it was random?

[skyagain]

Not too many people. I didn't want it to spread too far if it was just something trying to mess with me.

[ i dont remember my timeline so none names ]

...Maybe. But if more than one of us had the same dream, it might mean something.

[agleam]

[fair and valid]

Yeah. I'm going to keep asking around... If I do find someone else, I'll make sure to let you know with the typewriter or something.

[skyagain]

Same here. [ ... ] I don't think it's worth bringing up first thing in trial, in case it's relevant to this place but not her death. I wanted to wait until we knew what killed her.

But you can do what you want.

[agleam]

Well... It won't take too long to tell, and it might be good to at least bring it up early in case. If it is related to what happened to her, it might mean we need to check out the mountain that's in the camp...?

[skyagain]

[ he shrugs!! it's up to rupert!!! ]

Depends where she was found, too. She was staying in the elevator, and Harrowhark said they found something in the gift store. Mountain might be too far to count.

[agleam]

Right... Just seems weird that we'd get them on this specific night if it wasn't related somehow, you know?

[but he could be and often is wrong]

[skyagain]

You'd think so, but every Friday morning in the Realm people woke up with weird side effects that weren't ever relevant to anything.

[agleam]

Oh.

[frowns]

Well, that's... annoying.

[skyagain]

Most of the time it was just weird.

[agleam]

Was it dreams like this, or...?

[skyagain]

Mostly it was weird physical effects. Like.... talking with an accent.

[agleam]

So nothing like this, then...

[he frowns]

I'd rather bring it up sooner rather than later if that's the case, but - I'll at least make sure to mention we don't know if it's related so nobody gets too hung up on it.

[skyagain]

Then go ahead and mention it. But I've seen people get hung up on stupider details.

[agleam]

I'd rather give people the benefit of the doubt for now, at least about this.

[he should not]

[skyagain]

You sure that's a good idea?

[ he's not entirely against it but he has to snark it. ]
