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 ]

Something like that. If you're pledged to her cause, then you're Elfnein's true knight.

[ And the nice thing about being a knight is that one doesn't necessarily need shiny armor! ]

Getting high from volcanic fumes and then getting chased by fire wolves that were all in your mind? You do have an interesting life, Romeo!

[myblueskies]

[Her true knight! He likes the idea of that! He imagines himself fighting off dragons to help her! Being a knight would be fun! He laughed.]

I guess I have got a very interesting life sir! It's lots of fun though even when it's a bit scary!

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Curufin laughs with him. He'd approve of Romeo's aspirations, though of course he can't see what visions are in Romeo's mind. ]

What do you and Elfnein do besides investigating volcanoes?

[myblueskies]

Lots of things! People pray and we get those prayers and go and help them! Sometimes they need help because they lost their pet or because they want to have a nice meal with their girlfriend and all the restaurants are busy! But sometimes there's monsters and we got to fight them! When we aren't doing prayers Elfnein mostly does lots of science because she's really smart and we make sure the library is all organised so we can help people who are looking for knowledge!

[so_dark_a_road]

It sounds like a varied and interesting job! A fortunate job. And it seems Elfnein is happy to have you for an assistant. Her true knight. And apparently, her true library assistant. [ Smile. ]

[myblueskies]

I think she is! We are a good team and I try and be a good support to her! [He grins. He really likes the idea of being Elfnein's true knight!]

Want to wrap this one and catch up in some future thread?

[so_dark_a_road]

I have no doubt you're a good team and that you do your job wonderfully. [ He likes the young man's enthusiasm and his very positive outlook on his life. ]

sure!

[myblueskies]

Thank you sir! I like helping people! So if scary things happen like in your future dream I'll be sure to help you and everyone else too!

Wrap! <3

We'll all be grateful, Romeo. [ He smiles at this eager young knight. It is heartening to interact with him. ]
