Exile on Main Street

[Bjorn]

"Huh."  Bjorn chews on the tip of his tongue, thoughtfully, and then cocks an eyebrow.  "I don't know what it means that two of you are getting in contact with semi-divine beings, but if I were you, I'd get Rez if the Oracle ever told him anything about the Green Man, or get him to ask the daughter of the Oracle.   If he finds her."

[Dracos]

"Huh, That's actually a good idea.  Rez, Mind trying to check that sometime?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Hm?  Sure.  I'll ask her in a few hours.  By the way, I was serious about someone screwing with our dreams.  It's been done before, Drac."

Rez waves his right hand around as emphasis.

[Dracos]

"And I believe you.  I think it was 'visions' sent by someone.  To what effect, I have no clue but last I checked only guys who got visions were prophets, holy people, and guys on drugs.  And last I checked, I wasn't a prophet."

Dracos

[Bjorn]

"And if you're holy," Bjorn says with a faint smirk, "then religion has a whole lot to answer for.

"Why Rez got his dream is fairly obvious.  The question is who sent it.  If we know that, then we can guess if the same person/thing sent the rest of us our dreams, and if so, why."

[Rezantis]

"I guess I suspect the Order of Morpheus or whatever, that knight who ended up killing Rasputin.  The Oracle said they're 'dream-cops' who slept all day."

[Dracos]

"Hmm..  Possible.  A Greek order that controls dreams. Hmm..."

Dracos

[Bjorn]

"If they're 'dreamcops', then why bother sending us any sort of warnings?  What do they they owe to you or us?"

[Rezantis]

"I don't know, exactly.  I know that they killed Manos before he could entirely finish off Ayame, and according to the Oracle they kinda liked the Delphites, 'even though we served Apollo and they, well, slept all day'.  Direct quote.  I think he might have wanted me to see, and her certainly knew I was there, but that's just a hunch."

[Dracos]

"It could, just simply be, that we are currently opposed to Seventh Cabal.  Which means trying to convince us to go further after them may just attain goals for the greek squadrons without them lifting a finger."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"All he said was 'You should never have been involved this deeply.'  So . . . and, well, I don't think I really care what other factions want us to do, at this point."

[Dracos]

"I don't either, but being aware is useful.  We knew we were acting as pawns for Pax when we went in to screw over the workshop.  Keeping an eye on who benefits and who doesn't and who may turn on us is...prudent."

Dracos

[Bjorn]

"We don't know enough," Bjorn says, simply.  "I don't think we're even sure of all the players, let alone what they want, and specifically what they want with us."  He grimaces.  "Which is why we have to meet with Ezmereth, apparently."

[Rezantis]

"The oracle told Shade to find him, although I don't know why . . . yeah, those classifications.  We ran into the classifications for a few people.  Ashnod, Megan Witherspoon, Bridgett Witherspoon, Ezmereth, and Brian Randall."

[Bjorn]

Bjorn's face falls expressionless.  "That's a bit of an interesting list.  Ashnod was Megan's husband, and Bridgett was their daughter.  I don't know what Ezmereth and Brian had to do with them, if anything, though."  Bjorn ponders.  "Actually, Megan mentioned Ezmereth a few times, and didn't say anything about any sort of connection.  But then," he shrugs, "she wasn't exactly very explicit about Ashnod, either."
