[wisdominshadows]

If there's anyone else newly awake after an unpleasantly vivid dream, I'd like to speak with you.

[Zelda's voice holds fairly steady over the network, but her voice is slightly horse- as though she'd woken up screaming. Which she probably did, considering.

She lets out one slow breath as she thinks, then continues.]

More specifically... falling. The world dissolving around you. Cries of pain and despair... are any of those familiar? And if not, what else did you See?

[A quiet sigh, and then anyone listening closely can hear a muffled I am sorry about the disturbance, truly- before the connection cuts out.]

Comments

[Zelda wishes she could be more reassuring, but honestly Eva's probably right to be worried.]

Perhaps. But some things still trouble me....

[Beyond the obvious, she means.]

Not least of which is the point that Nita just brought up- that this is the second time some of us have seen this vision.

[mtsilver_conquor]

Some-... the Seers, then?

[Eva visibly blanches, even as she reaches for the coldness of Duty and wraps that heavy, heavy mantle about her.]

The breach that caused the dreams. I wasn't trainside, but... Yet if it's just the Seers...

What do you think, Zelda-san?

[wisdominshadows]

Yes, that breach.

I don't know how many saw the original dream... our minds were unusually open at the time, so it might have been more than usual. But unless someone else speaks up, I would guess that this one is more usual.

[Ah, Duty. A ragged mantle, that, and one that has trouble keeping out the cold. But it's one Zelda recognizes, and in response she straightens a bit herself- it is the least she can do, after all, to give her best.]

My first thought is that this... whatever it is is not limited to one world, or at least one location. Most missions seem to be, correct? But I saw a place I knew, Curufin reports seeing a place he knew, and I imagine others will say the same.

[mtsilver_conquor]

Assume everyone, expect only a few.

[She has a funny feeling she'd amongst the few if she'd been on the train. Gods and Legends of the Four, she hates the fox of fate.

There is a slow blink before Eva looks visibly unsettled and so very, very, very done at the same time.]

So, basically, Wold ending shenanigans, possibly with a side of cultists, likely with a side of gods with a possible side of gods being used in ways they shouldn't, and we're... heroes? went to stop it?

[Yep. So very, very done with everything.]
