004 || it was all just a dream

[lottato_prima]

I...

I can't... remember anything. What happened to make me act like that, what I was even thinkin'... I know I tried to get back to the elevator. I saw the storm coming.

[He runs a hand through his hair, now furious that he had been that easily manipulated.]

I just can't do it.

[He looks mostly amused, though there's an underlying hint of annoyance there too.]

Oh, have you not been here long? This is how this place works.

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Didn't know this was some kind of challenge to see who knew this place better, thanks.

[And he might just be a little annoyed himself - he almost killed his friends, and he wasn't in the mood for sarcasm.]

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

You misunderstand--

It's a challenge to see who can adapt first, haha!

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Why's it a race though? What would you get for winnin'?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

You get to survive.

[A grin.]

D'you really think what just happened is the first strange and dangerous event we've had here? Pay attention, if you want to keep on living.

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Uhhh no, not really. I did fight against that kraken, y'know!

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Did you? Good for you.

[He doesn't sound too impressed.]

The kraken was nothing compared to some of the things I've seen here.

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Then how's about you fill in a newbie like me? What kinds of other things have happened?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Alright then--how do zombie mermaids sound to you? Dinosaurs? Personality swaps and power swaps and raining rubber ducks and invading monsters known as Noise?

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Sounds like I've been missin' out on a lot more fun, is what!

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

[...Heh.]

I know your type.

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Glad to know I'm not a rare breed then! I'll take that as a compliment.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

So you think it's a compliment that you're pretty common, huh?

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

In a way, yeah! Too many people mopin' and givin' up just ain't right.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

[........snerk.]

Hah, I like you! You've got that right, anyway.
