Bassoon Day 6 -- afternoon, video

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Curufn has been awake for hours and is dressed in his road-crew orange clothing, but he came back for a shower, and he's still in Sleeper Carriage 2:A, speaking from the ICP in the cabin. His hair is not yet combed, and it is still wet and straggles about his forehead. He looks worried. ]

I hesitate to tell you this, but I think it's my responsibility. I had a dream last night, and I don't believe it was just a dream. Let me say that in my home universe, I had visions of evil things occurring, and they always came true. So, I'm sounding a warning, so that we may prepare in any way that we can.

I saw a city in flames. There were people in those burning buildings, and I heard screams. Other people were running, some escaping and some not. The air was choked with smoke.

There were winged creatures flying about this burning city, and I think they must have been demons, as I've seen that sort of creature before. I seemed to be standing quite near a building, as a wounded man came running around it toward me and would have escaped -- except that a small, white-haired, red-eyed being came swiftly behind him and stuck a spear into him. And then it turned on me, and I was about to get into a fight, but I suddenly awakened.

I don't know if many of you come from cultures that credit such visions, but I'm concerned.

[ OOC: This dream was PM'd to me -- to Curufin, I mean -- by the voidtreckermods last night, so you can bet it means something! XD ]

Action Since. He's Right There.

Is that why you slept like you did?

[Curufin and Reigen are roommates, so of course he's going to notice the other man's sleeping habits. It's not like Reigen has the best sleeping patterns himself.]

Sounds like a lousy dream. Does everything usually happen exactly like how your dreams play out?

[so_dark_a_road]

Yes, that's why. Did I wake you up when I vaulted out of bed and ran out the door?

[ Four in a sleeper! I'll bet there's not much they don't know about each other's sleeping habits. ]

It certainly was a lousy dream. Not everything I dream comes true, but some dreams are obviously visions, and those kind always have come true.

[internetsexsymbol]

Nah, you're fine. I was already awake anyway.

[He shrugs, he's used to functioning on six hours or less.]

Well, we just have to be careful if we end up in a city, right? Stay away from fire and guys with spears.

[so_dark_a_road]

You don't sleep all that well, either. [ Observation. ]

If we go to a city, yes, we'd better be careful. But if there's a fire or a battle, I'm honor-bound to try to protect people. I was a firefighter in my last world, and I've always been a warrior.

[internetsexsymbol]

I get enough sleep. [Another shrug. Reigen doesn’t have bad dreams or anything he considers a justifiable reason for insomnia, it’s just a fact of life at this point.]

I don’t have much of a code aside from not wanting people to get burnt, that work for you?

[so_dark_a_road]

How much is enough? [ Elves can do without sleep when they have to, but even they have to rest sometimes. Presumably Reigen does, too. ]

Your code works for me. [ Smile. ] I'm sure there will be things to do, for anybody who wants to help in that situation. Preferably not getting burnt up.

[internetsexsymbol]

...three to six. [Three to six what, Reigen?]

Then it's settled, you handle fire, I handle people. See? We're already prepared for the future.

[so_dark_a_road]

Three to six hours, or three to six minutes? [ Grin. ]

[ Curufin offers a high-five. ] The perfect division of labor! See, we've got this.
