Home For a Rest

[Bjorn]

"Probably thought he'd accomplished more," Bjorn points out.  "The time difference is a bit confusing."

[Rezantis]

"A few hours was never going to equate to much.  He just wanted to gloat.  Fuck."

Rez takes another cookie.

[Brian]

"I don't think anyone's ever directly threatened me, but I do remember how Ayame felt," Relm says.  "I could understand wanting revenge, even if it was petty.  I don't think it would be wise to let that drive a person, but I think ... well.  No matter."  Relm clears her throat, and pulls a manila folder from one sleeve of her gown.  It's the size of an icon on a monitor at first, and then stretches into a fully sized envelope.

"Right now, this is almost empty.  But this is the file I'm building to update what information we have on Pax's five.  I don't know Vanessa's last name yet ... or if that's even a real name.  I have what Nathan saw in the dream to try and glean their personalities and natures, but those aren't much to go on.  I could gather more information..." she says before trailing off, and setting the folder on the picnic blanket.

[Bjorn]

Raising an eyebrow, Bjorn prompts, "If?"

[Brian]

"You're willing to relive the entirety of your time in the dream-world over, so I can try and see more from other points of view," Relm says, taking a cookie and nibbling on the edge for a moment.  "But it would take me an entire night, and you wouldn't feel rested after that dream.  So it would take time to get information from everyone, and you'd have to ... go through everything over again ... but we could do it."

Relm grimaces, and sets her cookie on the envelope.  "I gather a lot of it was unpleasant.  I only really glimpsed at Nathan's memory of it.  You might wish to wait before re-experiencing it."

[Bjorn]

Bjorn sighs, looking over his shoulder down at the temple.  "No," he says after a few seconds, "speaking for myself, I'd rather it be over with."  He shrugs.  "It wasn't all bad, but I'm certainly not going to start relaxing knowing that I'm going to have to relive it soon, if you see what I mean."

[Brian]

"Mmm," Relm says, looking at Bjorn quietly.  "Well, I don't need everyone's impressions, just as much information as you're able to get me.  If anyone doesn't want to do it, I can still get something from anyone who does."

[Bjorn]

"I'll do it," Bjorn confirms.  "I probably spoke with 'Vanessa' more than anyone else, so I suspect my impressions'll be useful."  

He starts to reach for a cookie, and then instead rests his hand on his knee -- nervous habits from trying to keep his weight down.  "So no luck at all on the Cabal end of things?"

[Ginrai]

Thinking it over, Ginrai says, "If it's only for the night I can help out. You might be able to find out more about Stephen Riley through what I experienced." He then grabs a couple of cookies and starts munching on them.

[Dracos]

"Casual sleeplessness and dreaming of yet more warfare?  Why not?  Not like I have something better to do with my time." Dracos responded, swiping more cookies.

Dracos

[Brian]

"None yet," Relm says, shaking her head.  "I ... don't think you've ever actually run into a Cabal agent yet.  Except for possibly Jessica and Dr. Peterson.  If you're willing, then that's fine, but it'll be tomorrow.  I've got a lot to do today.  Unless you want to talk a bit, I should let you catch some real sleep."

[Dracos]

"Hm, crafty as ever.  Anyhow, you're right.  We should get some rest if it's not going to be tonight.  Anything you can tell us that we should know and might not about the ward we're now sharing?"

Dracos

[Brian]

"You can use it to see stone and metal in the dark, though metal will be harder, at first.  After a while you should be able to see concrete and cement, too.  Using it to make yourself more dense will also make you more durable ... let's hope you don't need to rely on that," Relm says, winking, and retrieving the cookie she set aside earlier.  "Beyond that, it won't do much, though you may find you're all better at pottery than you thought."

[Dracos]

"What about our other selves?  Do you know what happened to them?" Dracos considered.  "And I see night training is in store for us."

Dracos
Going for getting said knowledge IC! =)

[Brian]

"You mean who you were in the Dream?" Relm asks.  "They'll stay behind in some form.  You'll usually dream about what they've been up to."
