[Video] - Middle of the night...

[ninjainviolet]

[ Sorry, everyone for this early wake up call, but Sheena's just had another nightmare, and is reacting without thinking.

And hitting the "video" button without realizing, revealing her shaken and disheveled state. ]

Okay. Just what the hell is going on with these dreams?!

[ Oh. ]

When you mean "the same", do you mean why are more than one person having the same dream? I'm not sure, but it wouldn't be the first time the Dreaming has shared dreams with people.

[ Sheena, on the other hand, is frustrated and irritated--and it shows.

Her question had stemmed from him--a perfect stranger to her--asking if she wanted company.

She shakes her head. ]

I'm sorry, but neither of those names ring a bell. [ So, she opts for the obvious. ] Do you look at Xa-Xa? Or know someone named Zelos?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Why are some of us having the same dream and some of us not.

[Her answer is both helpful and not at all.]

...good to know, I guess.

[Zephyr thinks about that, frowning faintly.]

I don't pay attention to Xa Xa. Zelos...

[Memory stirs. Or a memory of a memory; Allen and Sara and Lippy, talking, Allen all expansive gestures and Sara giggling as she described events past.]

[Zephyr's eyes look very distant.]

Red hair, pretty face, flirts a lot? Kind of obnoxious if you're a guy?

Just lucky, I guess?

[ Totally wry answer, there, Zephyr. Sorry. ]

Sorry. I really don't know much about the Dreaming. Only that I was stuck in it for a while before being brought here. But there are natives who study it; maybe they can help.

[ When he describes Zelos, she gives him a flat look. ]

He can also be kind of obnoxious if you're a girl, too. But yes, that's him. We're from the same world and have known each other a long time. Maybe he mentioned me and that's how you know me.

[ Because how many purple-haired ninjas are there in Aifaran? ]

That's some kind of luck.

[He can sympathize, even if he's not particularly fond of this type of luck.]

Unless they've got a way to stop it, I'm more interested in coping with what's happening at the moment. But hey, if you can give me names to look up, I'd appreciate it.

[Faint eyeroll at the flat look.]

Maybe. I don't think I ever met him directly, but my partner definitely knows him. So... friend of a friend, I guess.

[ninjainviolet]

Yeah--all of it bad.

[ Can you tell she's not too thrilled about it, either? ]

I don't know about stopping it, but they may have some information at the Tower of Aifaran.

[ What can she say, Zelos brings out the best in her? ]

Granted, I don't know all the people Zelos does, but that definitely sounds like what's going on. So, nice to meet you.

I'm Sheena Fujibayashi.

Tower of Aifaran? Got it. Guess there's a field trip in my future.

[He doesn't sound amazingly thrilled; but then, he doesn't sound amazingly thrilled about a lot of things.]

Nice to meet you, then. I'm Zephyr. ... Just Zephyr.
