Video | Closed to all Dreamfolk

[redlightgreenlight]

[There are books and papers all over the table, clearly Valds has been doing some research on what they've seen in the visions. She doesn't look tired, though she certainly feels it. Just because she didn't need to sleep, didn't mean it isn't better for her than drawing on soul energy. She's spent days just going over everything she could find, cross referencing every mention, careful to avoid certain parties who might demand she take some breaks every now and then]

I've been combing over the histories and legends for information on what I've seen. The shadows and monster I saw aren't in any of them, thought mentions exist in incidents related to the Dreaming. There's at least one mention of a dark pyramid, but I'm not well versed enough to really figure out what it means.

[Not mentioned: The involvement of the Death Plane]

There's several references to scientific papers by people at the Aisling Tower, and I've found a few of the texts that might prove helpful but haven't gone over them in depth yet. I could use some help if anyone has time.

[Hopefully someone does, she would really like to feel as if she were actually getting somewhere.]

I've also had another vision. Nerrin again, except he's older than before. There's also some kind of beast...I think. He was examining claw marks in their temporary shelter.

I’ll help.

[ Of course she’ll help, it’s Valdis who’s asking. But she’s not as enthusiastic as she normally is. Which might be good? She can at least focus this way. And not be as annoying to everyone else. ]

About Nerrin... He was there for years, it seemed like. Must've been something bad to freak him out.

[Which, ah...probably isn't that helpful.] Uh, are the papers... Are they easy to understand? [Not an academic type, this one.]

[ Rutile's previous encounters with Valdis have been unfortunate at best, but you wouldn't know it to look at them: their expression is as smooth and placid as ever. They sit in a common room at the Dreaming Bridge with the hydroponic garden in the background, the sun glinting off the back of their hair. ]

It may be best to call in an expert to consult on the papers, ideally someone who wrote them. I don't mean to make assumptions, but I assume that as Dreamfolk, we are hardly justified in commenting on the physics of this land.

[ They reach into their pocket and pull out a pencil and notebook. ]

If you can give me the names of some of the investigators, as well as their papers, I'm happy to go down and interface with them.

These visions are utterly relentless. Is there no escape from these hallucinations at all?

[Her tone is annoyed, though that doesn't seem directed at Valdis, rather than just briefly venting about the visions themselves.]

At least everyone is seeing similar things and not...

[She trails off, shaking her head.]

I can help if you like. I was quite good at organizing the books at the opera house, I'm sure I could find my way around a library.
